  1. Steering wheel shimmy/vibration at higher speeds - looking for a solution (alignment is fine)

    My experience and resolution - I had the 70mph+ shimmy as well when I received my R1T. Rivian took it in to investigate and found one of my 22ā€ pirellis had a flat spot from the factory, deemed it defective, replaced it… shimmy has been gone for 12k miles and two rotations.
  2. Paintless dent repair - Gotta give props to Todd @ TAPS PDR - Portland, OR

    Ha! Sorry, slight omission there… ;) Bill came to just under $500, which was significantly less than an auto body shop. My insurance company has been happy with my decision. Whole process took about 2.5 hours. Very positive experience!
  3. Paintless dent repair - Gotta give props to Todd @ TAPS PDR - Portland, OR

    Quick geographical location: Portland, OR So - got a dent on my R1T tailgate a couple weeks ago by backing into a post in a parking space (yes I ignored all the alarms going off), made me sad. ? Read some horror stories on extravagant pricing to get it repaired, then saw a post on paintless...
  4. Lightning is a Better Road Tripper than our Rivian R1T

    Everybody's preference and perspective will be subjective for each vehicle. It's nice to have options. ;) We took our R1T from Portland, OR to Osoyoos, BC a few weeks ago. It's an annual trip we do, about 900 miles RT (about 9 hours on the road each way). We've used two vehicles on earlier...
  5. App not responding?

    All good here. Truck sitting overnight in the driveway, unplugged. Opened app, unlocked/locked doors just fine. iPhone.
  6. New aftermarket (manual) Tonneau Cover for Rivian R1T

    Ouch! No issue with the bolts I received, they went in fine and have been on my truck for a few months without issue. Did the factory bolts come out fine? Wonder if there were any burrs in the threads of the new bolts? Sorry dude…
  7. 2023.26.0 Software Update Pushed

    So, my AC seemed to be one of the ones that didn’t ā€œscreamā€ like others have posted, but I have to say after the update, for whatever reason, it’s now ICE COLD when it’s mid-90’s outside… it was NOT that way previously. That’s a welcome change! I have noticed my steering wheel audio ā€œmuteā€ was...
  8. Tonneau Void Drawer for R1T

    I haven’t taken mine apart, but I have absolutely been trying to figure how I could access that unused space, this is great! I’ll be following this for sure! Fantastic!
  9. Number of Service Center Visits: Poll

    Owned mine for over seven months, two visits. 1st visit at 1k miles - fix driver seat lumbar support that collapsed on day 2 of ownership during a ā€˜launch’. Rivian replaced the driver seat. No cost. 2nd visit around 6k miles - brought in for an alignment and steering wheel off-center after...
  10. PSA: Discount Tire / America’s Tire will sell Road Hazard warranty and lifetime Road Force Balancing with free rotation if you have < 2,000 miles

    Huh, I had a rotation done at 5k miles at Discount Tire a while back (first Rivian in), and they didn't mention that option at all. Guess I'l see if I can ask about that when I do my rotation soon at 10k!
  11. HaulMaster Cargo Carrier, yeah, it fits R1T bed… ;)

    Yeah, I’m not sure the ā€˜need’ is there yet, the trip north into Canada in a couple weeks will determine that. The cab will be full of me, my wife and three kids, so overflow storage beyond baggage and boating/fishing/etc when we hit grocery/Costco for 10 days at a lake cabin with seven other...
  12. HaulMaster Cargo Carrier, yeah, it fits R1T bed… ;)

    Yeah, it’s pretty basic but fits about perfect. I just added a couple cans of Rustoleum Truck Bed Liner to it, not sure it needed it though. It’ll fit the bill for what I need/may need it for, and then decide if I want to go further. Toss it on top of the teen’s Mazda 6 when I’m done with it… ;)
  13. HaulMaster Cargo Carrier, yeah, it fits R1T bed… ;)

    Needed a little ā€˜overflow space’ for an upcoming trip, wasn’t looking to break the bank for a cargo rack as I’m still kind of waiting to see how I’ll be using this truck (had it for seven months now). Was researching overland boxes, etc, then racks. Came across the MaxxHaul 70115 on Amazon…...
  14. Software Update 2023.22.00 looks like it's coming...

    I agree. Comparing to our ā€˜22 Kia Niro EV, the last few months of HVAC changes make it more consistent than that vehicle. However, the lane keeping assist (not driver+) on the Kia vastly dominates my R1T, so far
  15. Meet up with the Rivian team near Portland Saturday 6/24

    I have a Rivian Blue R1T - Will see if I can make the 24th work! Coming out of PDX!
  16. Should I avoid doing hard resets?

    I just had this issue yesterday… main screen locked upon a short drive and wouldn’t allow me to pull up HVAC, drive settings, etc. Went to do a soft reset (which I’ve had to do only a couple times in six months) and it wouldn’t take. After I parked I tapped the main screen again and all worked...
  17. Misaligned steering wheel issue on R1T and R1S -- NHTSA Customer Satisfaction Campaign RCA-10-23-002-1

    Just got my R1T back from service after an alignment TODAY… Steering wheel now straight and center, no slight pull to the right. They also replaced one of my 22ā€ Pirellis due to a ā€˜flat spot’ that caused shaking around 70+ mph that they initially thought might be drive shafts… bad tire from the...
  18. Electric tonneau cover for those that didn't get one from factory or was cancelled looks like there is no retro fit option

    I fretted over this decision for about six weeks back when the PTC was discontinued, and my number came up for my R1T. The fretting was agonizing… but the draw for the new vehicle won out and I placed my order and got it on Jan 6, 2023, no tonneau cover included. What I discovered after the...
  19. New R1S owners, please enlighten us on insurance coverage

    Well - went through the last few meesages on this thread, and perhaps it's just high to ME, as the Rivian is the most premium vehicle I have owned, but seems on par with some othe posts above. I'm at $1862 12-months ($931 6-months) at 100k/300k coverage, $500/$500 deductables. Lots of...
  20. New R1S owners, please enlighten us on insurance coverage

    I have a teen driver at home (soon to be two) … you do NOT want to know my insurance rate for my R1T…. Lol
