I have an Android and have yet to get any text message notifications. I got everything turned on as shown, yet new texts only come in on my phone. I can SEND hands-free texts via "Hey Rivian" process but not much else.
I have an R1T-Dual motor and it moves when I need it to move. I'm not much of a lead foot, nor into chirping the tires on launch, but when I need to get around some Memme driving 20mph under the speed limit; it's spot on.
In 1999, my division of IBM was sold to AT&T. At that time, I was living in Tampa Bay and commuting almost daily from St. Petersburg to a Tampa office park. As part of the sale, we were given a retention bonus that was quite generous (companies did those kinds of things back then). I had a...
So, RJ, food for thought. For the R2T & R3T, the R1T is big where it needs to be small and small where it needs to be big. How about designing something more... functional? More of an urban pick-up truck.

Jury is still out... Just not ready for a "launch edition" of anything. We'll see what real-world experience tells us about the Telo once they get through the first 1000 production models and we see what the IHSS crash tests reveal.
Our other EV is a Tesla Model Y (Juniper) with almost 13k...
We were going to try it on our Model Y, but the trial for FSD lapsed before we could do anything with it. When we went for a test drive of the Y, the representative use the "summon" feature to bring the demo vehicle up for us to drive. Of course, this was within the Providence RI Tesla lot...
The problem I have is that the length of the R1T does not leave much room to navigate around the exterior once it's parked in our garage, and frunk access is cumbersome to get to if I pull in too far. I do like to put the grocery bags in it, and have two Dollar Tree laundry baskets (cut down an...
Test drives are not yet available out of the Canton MA SC, but I signed up for one.
Yes! I would consider an R2S as a replacement for my R1T, perhaps in a year or so down the line when other options and models are open for selection.
I follow the YouTube channel, "Truck Up EV's". The host loves EV trucks and has many videos pertaining to him taking his F-150 Lightning into the Canadian wilderness for camping and excursions. Much like the Doug Munroe videos, he has been all over his truck, disassembling, reassembling...
FWIW - My Rivian app was updated last night, which in my observation, is usually a precursor to the update being pushed out. And true to form, .30 is not downloading and installing!
Wow! That really sounds like a bad SC. When I took delivery of my R1T at the Chelsea MA SC, we got to climb all over it before accepting the vehicle. Prior, we had watched every YouTube video about all the things to look for (missing caps, loose this or that, etc.) and had a checklist ready...
Once more, my thoughts on the duration of my tenure with the Rivian R1T have been brought into focus.
TWICE, yesterday, I had incidents where >I< failed to see a car coming tight and fast through an intersection directly in front of my, and the warning alarms sounded. Had the Rivian not...
I am getting a minor glitch with Apple Music. Last weekend, I did the full "Log out / login" to Apple Music, and the meta data for my playlist is wonderfully back. It has been working okay, but again, the music just sporadically pauses until I hit the thumb wheel button to start it again, and...
Good morning. I initially leased my 2025 R1T. During the configuration process, I was able to both trade in my 2019 Nissan Frontier and qualify for a lease, and my lease was managed by JPMC.
Of note: I went into the process being preconditioned by years of dealership games at the time of...
