  1. Camping mode - control interior lights, please

    Has anyone found a way when camping to prevent the interior lights from coming on every time you open a door or the rear hatch? I loved this feature on my F-150 and, while I love camping in my R1S, I wish I had more control over the lighting behavior. While we’re at it, why can’t the app have...
  2. VION roof shade for R1S

    @VION provided an R1S roof shade in exchange for a review. I rate it 4/5. Hits - When the roof glass is hot from sitting in the sun, the shade creates an air buffer that allows the cabin AC to do its job. - No sag - Installs easily and seems easy to remove and store (twists smaller and fla...
  3. Remote AC button takes 3 tries to work

    I live where it’s hot, so love to turn on the AC remotely before heading to my Gen 2 R1S. When I hit the AC button in the iOS app, it warns that it couldn’t connect. After 3-4 attempts, it connects. Happens when I’ve got a strong 4g/5g signal, and even when I’m on wifi at home. Anyone know...
  4. Best front seat covers?

    Need something to protect the passenger seat from the dog. Any recommendations? Others I have do not fit the tall seat back well, and don’t stay wrapped around the seat bottom as the dog moves. TIA
  5. Battery saving while camping

    What are the best setting to save battery while camping? With 4 campers during a 4 day car camping trip, I’m imaging wasting lots of power every time someone opens a door to retrieve an item. Turn off proximity locking/unlocking?
  6. R1S shifts to park when backing trailer

    Does anyone know why the R1 would make an alert sound, auto brake and then shift to park when backing a trailer? I was moving an empty boat trailer around my property on level ground. Many times when I went into reverse, I got an audible alert. The brakes were auto applied and my 2025 R1S...
  7. Test your hitch pin before you need it

    The box around Rivian’s hitch receiver is so thick, my very common (Reese) trailer hitch pin isn’t long enough to make it through the receiver. The catch clasp for the pin can’t be inserted. I’ve got to buy a longer hitch pin now. Test your hitch pin before you’re in a hurry to use it.
  8. Shout out to Discount Tire

    First R1S tire rotation today and @Discount Tire did a good job. They were patient about learning about the vehicle’s unique tire change process.They thanked me for the chance to learn about a Rivian. They thanked me for providing jack pucks. They assured me if they had any questions, they...
  9. Change low ride height speed threshold?

    Can we change the speed threshold at which the R1S drops to low ride height? My recollection is that the Rivian guide at delivery said he set mine to 55 mph. I can’t find a setting in the manual or the menus. I’d like to increase it to a higher speed.
  10. Houston service center delayed service appointment a month

    A week before my service appointment, the Houston service center delayed my appointment another month. Is this common?
  11. Use real world fleet efficiency for advertised range?

    The Rivian advertised range assumes 2.8-2.9 miles/kW of efficiency. It seems most owners don’t achieve that level of efficiency. Rivian has all the data on the real world efficiency of the fleet to calculate this. Should that be the source of data for the advertised range?
  12. 250 miles of Texas interstate without a fast charger

    How are there 250 miles of Interstate 69, from Wharton to Brownsville, without a fast charger? Didn’t the Feds allocate billions to fix this?
  13. First road trip and public charging - 2.17 mi/kWh

    July in southeast Texas 2025 R1S on 20” AS 497 miles 2.17 mi/kWh Average speed 57 mph Charged 3 times, all Electrify America Couldn’t initiate charging at an EV Connect in the pouring rain Not as convenient as an ICE road trip, but not bad.
  14. How are you solving the Jack height problem?

    Received my Jack Pucks today. Fit them to the truck and decided to test my bottle jack with it. I’m at least 3 inches too short to get the tire off the ground. Did you solve this with an extra tall jack, jack pads under a bottle jack, stacking the jack pucks, not raising your R1S to highest...
