Spotted this LA Silver beauty on my annual trip to Big Bend today. I’ve been thinking about bringing my Rivian down, but the charging is very sparse down here, so stuck with the Land Cruiser for this year— if the owner of this R1T is on here, I’d love to hear more about your experience!
It was pretty cold here in Maine last night. We hit -19Âşf at my house, and my R1T was plugged in outside. This morning, I decided to take it for a spin and see how it held up.
Stats:
Temperature was between -8Âşf and -11Âşf during my test run
Route was 27 miles, mostly flat, an combination of...
Driver+ has gotten SO much better in the 8 months I’ve had my truck. I’m left with a few desires that would make me totally content, in order of priority (to me)
Lane changes. Let me signal, then change lanes for me and stay engaged.
Raise speed cap to at least 90, preferably 95
Automatic...
I just dropped off my R1T at the Boston service center to a Driver+ issue addressed, and the service advisor told me that they had a new, redesigned tonneau cover in for me, and it would be getting installed!
I'll report more next week when I get it picked up. Anybody else seen evidence of...
Just curious where people are— mine was noisy for a few weeks, then finally gave up last time I used it, wedged at an angle, and is done.
Service told me that they’re testing a redesigned cover and a recall is likely, but they won’t do anything for me until it’s available…

Just signed up, going to take the R1T and go do the MLO trail ride in New Hampshire next Saturday (7/23). Anybody else want to go stretch your Rivian's legs?
Alright, hear me out. I’ve been thinking about this for years, and I just need to put it out there so, many years from now, I can show this post to my kids and tell them how rich we could have been if daddy had just followed his dream of building electron stations.
Problems:
EVs take longer...
The open top 10L simple human can fits perfectly on the floor behind the center console. It has some rubber on the bottom, so it doesn’t slide around, either.
tl;dr: The perfect daily driver for a big chunk of people, including me.
The great:
This is a really lovely place to spend time. Visibility is good, seats and comfortable, it's easy and comfortable to get in and out. Seat belts come out easily and are easy to buckle. This is the easiest...
As is the case when you scale up any logistics endeavor, the bottleneck just keeps moving. First it was design, then it was tooling, then it was supply chain. It seems like now the service centers are full of trucks and they can’t deliver them fast enough.
If so, this is a really good problem...

I'll bring my LG/FE truck. If anybody else has a truck to bring, please do!
pinging folks who expressed interest in the other thread: @jose @Mhcosentino @kewlasu @Newb26...
My R1T is now my primary daily driver, which means lots of kid hauling, starbucks runs, etc, and the trash that comes along with it. Has anybody found a trash can that fits nicely on the floor between the two back seats? I used a simplehuman bathroom trash can there in my F150 and it was...
I got my truck yesterday, and noticed a strange bug, couldn’t find any mention, so I wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing it…
When I have my fob with me, everything works fine. When I went out with only my phone, none of the external hard buttons would work (tailgate, tonneau, gear...
We discussed a bit in the other thread— who would be interested in either bringing a truck so others can check it out or coming to check out trucks in the Portland area?
I’m getting mine on Tuesday and would be happy to let folks check it out. I attended a similar event in Texas a few weeks...
