Just wanted to post an update in case this helps anyone else with the same wind noise issues that I had.
For clarity, my wind noise was NOT coming from the side triangle window areas, like most people seem to be dealing with.
My wind noise was very loud at speeds of 60+, and was generally...
Rivian's VP of Software Engineering, Wassym Bensaid, is on Reddit responding to questions from folks regarding future software/vehicle updates. We've heard rumors on some of this stuff before, but nice to get a high level confirmation. Here are some of the highlights of the things that he...
Hi Team,
I'm a pretty novice off-roader, but am hoping to get into more and more now that I have a vehicle that makes it so appealing. After my last adventure, I started thinking it would probably be wise to carry some sort of recovery kit with me. The Rivian branded one seems pretty...
I took my truck on her first off-road adventure over the weekend, and wanted to provide some updates for those who plan to do the same. Lot's of "Pros"...and one major "Con".
Pros:
Ground clearance in High or Highest mode is amazing. You don't realize how much 15" of clearance is until you...
Can you believe it's been a month? It feels like just yesterday I was dressed in fancy clothes for a Kentucky Derby party but needed to make a small detour to pick up my truck from the Denver Service Center.
But indeed, a month has gone by. I've put around 800 miles on the truck. I had...
Apologies for the stupid question...
I have my gear guard set to activate when *away from home*. But, it seems to not record anything on that setting. I'm guessing it's because it doesn't know where "home" is.
Anyone know how to let the vehicle know when it's home vs when it's not? Is there...
Quick question for other owners...
The puddle lights that look like the Rivian logo I assumed would light up when the vehicle unlocks, so that it illuminates the ground as you approach the truck. But on my truck, they only come on once you've opened the door. Seems to defeat the purpose of...
Has anyone found a dog hammock, or half-hammock that fits exceptionally well in the rear seat of the R1T?
Thinking of something like this
But would love to follow in the steps of someone who already found one that fits well. These things can be hit or miss on size and quality.
Now that I have a guide, I'm starting to think about how I want to actually pay for the vehicle, and I was hoping some of you can share your insights and process.
I have no trade-in. And, I was planning on just paying "cash" without financing, but given the low rates I'm thinking it makes more...
Apologies if this is old news, but I noticed today that the configurator now shows range reduction (in miles) expected for the tire sizes other than the 21" standard size
21" Wheel/Tire = 314 Mile Range
20" Wheel/Tire = 274 Mile Range (40 mile reduction)
22" Wheel/Tire = 293 Mile Range (21 mile...
I’ve decided that I’m definitely getting punk’d by Rivian.
My neighbor just got their R1T delivered today. Literally exact same specs as my configuration, Same color, same interior, same options. They posted lots of happy photos of taking delivery.
My neighbor ordered over 10 months after I...
Found this on Facebook and thought it was interesting. Haven't seen any events like this before at other locations.
Unfortunately, I did not receive the invite.
Rivian official just posted the cities that will be able to do the mobile drives soon, in addition to NYC, which started last week.
Dallas
Denver
Chicago
Los Angeles
Seattle
San Francisco
Ok, not the anticipation of waiting for my R1T. Well, that too.
But I got this email over a week ago, and still nothing! I'm dying over here! What is it? Why won't they send it? Does an R1T only weigh 1LB and does LE priority delivery include UPS Next day air? Is it a ticket for Blue...
I wanted to share a quick story with you guys. It was a lucky chance encounter that made my day/week/month.
TLDR - Got a personal tour of the R1T by RJ. He was amazingly gracious, friendly, approachable, and an all-around great guy. Read on if you'd like the full story.
So as you may have...
Hopefully this doesn't duplicate something already being discussed elsewhere.
I know there's been much consternation over Rivian switching to a mesh door pocket in some of the test mules we've seen pictures of. I, too, would be upset if that details makes it into production.
I noticed today...
We're somewhere between 20 and 50 days from when initial deliveries are to have started. My hope is slowly fading as each day passes without additional detailed information on outstanding questions, nor any contact from Rivian Guides. It just seems to me like the logistics of finalizing an...
I know many folks that have the R1S on order much preferred the 20" All-terrain wheels from the R1T, vs the 20" option on the R1S.
Just noticed in the configurator today that you can now option the R1T-style 20" wheels on the R1S. This should make a number of folks quite happy.
Call me too optimistic if you want, but I feel like we've entered a regular cadence of information release from Rivian. The past 2 weeks straight we've received updates on Thursday with new, thorough information:
-Thursday 3/18: Charging News
-Thursday 3/25: Warranty News
-Thursday 4/1...
