I don’t know how feasible it is, but I like the idea of a very basic R1T, perhaps aimed at light duty contractors, without the bells and whistles. A cheap R1T could do well.
I wanted to post something positive in amongst all the negative threads we all love to post, especially on service!
My 2023 G1 R1T QM had a service appointment at Shelton, CT this week for a fairly minor mechanical issue. While it took four weeks for the appointment (cry me a river I hear you...
Gen1 R1T QM:
I’m still seeing highways that always had assist now missing. I also have to reset drive cam half the time as it turns itself off. I have to stop, go into park and hit the format drive button before it all a says hello and works. But not all videos there.
Most annoying though is...
Just an update on my post above on vampire drain. I charged my G1 R1T QM on Saturday and unplugged around 1900 Saturday evening. Truck sat yesterday. By 0800 this morning I had lost 5%. Hopefully the next update addresses all these issues.
After a couple of long drives, my G1R1TQM is missing Driver + highways that existed previously. Vampire drain is now 2 to 3% over night. I have the same Apple Music issues documented elsewhere and it resets itself every time I lock the car, rather than picking up where it left off. Heated seat...
An issue I am seeing is playback does not continue from device to device, but that is minor at this point, although it does on CarPlay between my phone and other vehicles, although I understand CarPlay is different.
My main gripe is that Apple Music resets itself every time I get back into my...
For me I’d like to control the chirp. I’ve already had two randy bluebirds fighting over the right to get it on with my R1T.
…I guess I should be thankful it doesn’t make the sound of a randy honey badger.
I agree, and I agree with the other posters here on the challenges. When Tesla superchargers were for Tesla only, the configuration was not a problem. Now they are open and NACS is becoming more widely adopted, there needs to be a rethink in the design and layout of new chargers. The issue isn’t...
How many gas stations have you been to where you pull up to the pump at the front or rear of the vehicle?….why not just make all EV chargers pull through, the same as gas pumps, and all these issues go away?
I have a 14.8kw system and 3 Tesla Powerwall 2s. Tesla did the install. I did it all through the app, so it was very simple. Tesla was fantastic, handled everything, great communication and a great crew. After hearing stories about customer service on the EV side, I thought it was a risk, but...
I went with the Wallbox. It has worked perfectly from day one and doesn’t take up a large amount of wall space being quite small. The app is pretty good. I could have gone with one of the smart chargers the electric co likes, but to get the rebate meant essentially relinquishing control to the...
Thanks HaveBlue, that’s what I thought. When my R1T had those same sort of incidents it never recorded. Or perhaps it did but the videos were not showing in the system.
I also never had anything recorded. I had two or three events with heavy breaking and swerving actions on my part, with the driver assistance alarms going off, and never a recording. So I am wondering what it takes also.
Front suspension is destroyed and wheel is folded under when moved. Damage back through driver’s side door, under to the motor, and across the hood and frunk. The car that hit me was a terrible mess and totaled, so the Rivian performed brilliantly. As for being totaled, it is still being...
Good thoughts, thank you. I’ll have try and see if there is anything also on the drive that I can’t see. I thought everything went straight to the external drive, but not my area so I really have zero idea.
I wanted to bring this up as there have been a few threads recently where there was an incident with an R1 and the vehicle cameras did not record the incident.
Here’s my experience. I got hit on the driver’s side front quarter, perpendicular to my R1T by a guy who drove through a red light and...
