I changed my R1T TRUCK to custom wheels and also purchased a set of 21" stock wheels / tires.
RIvian was slow at delivering the spare wheel/tire. They finally did. I'm keeping the jack and hardware, but got rid of the original 20" wheels and tires that were on the truck, so the spare doesn't...
I haven't gotten around to gathering the details of my last road trip. Some good data that I will share when I get some free time. (teaser photo below)
But, wanted to share a charging issue that may be helpful to some in the future....
My first time trying to charge at an Electrify America...
How in the heck is Driver+ not mapped for one of the busiest freeways through our California state capital of Sacramento??
Was enjoying using it on the wide open roads from L.A. till somewhere past Bakersfield, when it all of a sudden, no longer was available the rest of the way to Sacramento...
I fully get the need for the clear protection film. Personally however, have just never been a fan of it. (dirty edges with visible lines, they start peeling at the edges, etc) But absolutely see where it is necessary in many use cases. For me though, spending $3,500 or $4,500 to clear wrap the...
On my truck, the right rear tire sticks out about 3-4 mm more than the left rear.
Wondering if anyone else has noticed this? Have looked on Cars and Bids at some other trucks as they apparently require a lot of high quality images. From what I see, seems like it could be the same on other...
EDIT: See follow-up post below (Post #14) after receiving replies to this thread).,...........
Looking for everyone's opinion now, on which wheels they think look better (photos below)?
My truck came with 20" all-terrains. I swapped them out for a set of custom wheels which I got a ton of...
DISREGARD FIRST ITEM (CONSOLE TRAY). WHILE I WAS ABLE TO GET IT IN JUST FINE AND IT'S A NICE PRODUCT OF GOOD OVERALL QUALITY, IT'S TOO TIGHT OF A FIT AND THAT REQUIRES PLIERS TO GET IT OUT. HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE FIRST VERSION TWRAPS OFFERED, BUT THEY'VE REDONE THEIR CONSOLE TRAY AND IT...
Here's a link to the full write-up. I have about $3,700 invested into this particular set up. The tires have less than 1,000 miles on them.
I've gotten a ton a compliments on the wheels and everyone tells me to keep them on the truck. But, I've decided to go with a 22" street wheel and tire as...
Happy to read this. More notably, had been wondering where they stood with pre-orders. This says 98,000. I think I remember it being about 50,000 before the March 1st Price Hike. I know a lot of people cancelled their orders after the price hike. Many reinstated those orders, but not all. So...
Only $225,000 and it's all yours!! LOL.
Considering one just sold on cars and bids for $130,000, don't think they're going to have too much luck at this price point!! Had to laugh a little when I saw it...
Waited to post this as I wanted to test this setup out for a bit first.
When I was having to choose between the Rivian and F-150 Lightning, one of the appealing factors of the Ford was the fact that it could power your home and the 110 outlets put out 7200w, a HUGE difference compared to the...
Saw a couple of posts that it was released, but none that I found showed the release notes. Here they are.
Version 2022.31.5
New Camping App Available, Range Now Viewable as % of State of Charge, Units of Measurement Now Available in Metric, New Vehicle Controls in Rivian Mobile App...
Question for those who have it in last paragraph?
Bought the Rivian wall charger with my truck. It had been sitting in a box. I used a Lectron adapter on my Tesla charger previously since the Tesla charger was already there. Worked fine and was good for 20 miles per hour in range.
Am redoing...
Took my first trip to Vegas from L.A. with the Rivian. Having come from Tesla's, my mind was preprogrammed that the Rivian would not and should not perform as well as the Tesla did on the same trip.
Long story short, being that my details below are a bit of a jumbled mess. Spoiler to the result...
Have been in touch on and off with Rivian about items not delivered with my truck. Received the Charger and Cross Bars within a week and a half of delivery. All weather floor mats took about 6+ weeks to be delivered. Received a call that the Spare tire would installed next week, roughly 2 months...
Realized today that having to close two doors every time I open the center console is seemingly pointless?
Wondering if there's any logical reason they chose to spit it in half instead of putting in a standard rear hinge single door? Maybe there was a specific reason for it? I just can't figure...
The bird chirp thing was cute for a while, but it's already starting to age. Wondering if there's a way to shut it off??
Most cars, don't "honk" unless you press the button twice. Tesla doesn't honk every time the door looks on its own using the phone key. This thing chips every single time the...
I've loved the Rivian styling cues being off-road oriented. But, in photos, it looks somewhat too wimpy or subtle. Too rounded. No muscle. Many have complained about the front design, strictly based on photos alone. I was never in love with the front end either.
I know everyone sees things...
Had my windows tinted last week, hoping that it would help cool down the interior when sitting out in the sun. Really didn't notice any measurable difference. Cab would climb to over 135 degrees on 100 degree day. It got hot in there.
Had the window tinters come back out today and did the roof...
Have read many saying they can't move the truck if the door is open. Which is basically how the truck is programmed for safety reasons. Similar to the Tesla.
Even with the door closed, if you don't have a seatbelt on and slightly lift your butt off the seat to look behind you, it can throw it...
