Lucid did the same thing. Lucid claims it is because it gives the driver better slowing control. Rivian claims they did it because when off road you need consistent control slowing the truck, and friction brakes are more predictable. The truth is likely exactly what you posted. Blended brakes...

Since the OP says this has happened with all three R1s he has owned, I think most likely it is not a defect in his R1T Quad. It is a misunderstanding regarding how the sensors work and their limitations.

Mine also. They beep so much I just ignore the beeps and use my eyes. That said, there are no side sensors on the doors or fenders. As I am backing out of my garage, the truck only beeps at things in front or behind me, and if I am halfway out of the garage the beeping stops. Because there are...

As far as I know, there are only front and rear corner sensors and beeping is not the only clue it gives you that you are too close. You can look at the lights on the display. Or better yet, you can use your side mirrors. Side mirrors are designed to allow you to see the side of your vehicle...

This is the way.

Not official

They "can". But do they at R2 launch? And how much? We know nothing except what they did with the R1. Which is pure friction brakes.

I will be shocked if anyone drives away spending less than $100k. Sure that is R1 territory, but it definitely isn't cheaper.

Seriously? I am a huge Speed Queen fan. I get the joke if that is what you are doing. If not, link it as I might get one.

Nobody is advocating for less choice. Rivian has decided that they wanted the brake pedal to control the friction brakes, which means you don't get regen by pressing the brake pedal. Ford has brake blending. I had it in my Mach-e. Although I never really used it because I had 1PD configured at...

You may be referring to "brake assist", which is not considered blended braking. Rivian does not have blended braking. Brake assist is used when regen is lower than expected due to HVB condition (like 100% SoC). I got us started.

Is this thread about 1PD?

Do you like the way it drives with those rims and tires?

You can do the same thing using 1PD, of course.

I actually read that before posting. I figured if it takes them 17 days to fix the tonneau cover, they can fix the other the other things while it sits there waiting on parts for the cover. (My assumption is they took so long due to part availability.) And you have a loaner for 17 days, paid for...

Rivian should give you a loaner while they fix the tonneau cover, so maybe they can do the other repairs as they wait for tonneau cover parts. Then you don't have to worry about insurance covering the loaner.

The coasting argument is stupid. Coasting in a ICEV makes sense because you disconnect the engine from the transmission, so it idles and uses very little fuel. It is a good way to hypermile if that is your thing. It isn't my thing. I agree with @VSG - coasting is not more efficient in a BEV...

In the R1, lifting your foot off the go pedal is not like slamming on the brakes. It is more like a moderate slowing that is strong, but not unpleasant. In fact, I routinely slow using no pedal pressure when approaching stoplights or stop signs. I try to let the truck bring me to a complete...

Well, they don't have ice studs, but on icy snow they rock. Here is the video of me driving in ice encrusted snow and (although I didn't know it at the time) destroying the lower front facia of the truck. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/driving-in-the-snow-with-my-oem-22s.55404/

Got it today. Reservation placed 3/7/2024.
