    New to me 2022 R1T - tonneau works for now

    I had a 22 R1T for over a year (sold it at the beginning of the year) and my Tonneau cover never failed although it always sounded like it would. Anyway I used a dry lube on the tracks as was told by a Rivian service tech and that seemed to keep it working.

    Anyone sold their Rivian?

    As I posted before on different threads and maybe this one I did like my R1T very much but had a gut feeling about long term ownership so I took advantage of a great trade in offer and got out and with the current news I'm glad I did. Also the R1T was way more vehicle than I needed and if Rivian...

    Anyone sold their Rivian?

    I think the prices in the used market have come down considerably since the negative earnings report and news, if you watch the online auctions you can see that.

    Anyone sold their Rivian?

    From what I understand 2 wheel mode is basically front wheel drive and will wear down front tires accordingly.

    Anyone sold their Rivian?

    I ordered my R1T LE in 2019 and it was delivered in August of 2022. I owned it at the pre price hike pricing less fed and state tax credits/rebates. I have had 0 issues including a working power tonneau cover and I did like driving it very much. What I didn't like was the range anxiety of...

    Why I traded my R1T

    Dude, don’t fall for "EV’s will save the world" BS, they are great state of the art vehicles but are still initially very earth unfriendly and not for everyone, in fact if everyone drove an EV we'd be in a lot worse shape as the electric grid would probably fail especially in states like CA. I...

    Why I traded my R1T

    I traded it for a Lexus IS 500 special edition. This is the last of the V8’s in a small sedan and only 150 produced for North America in this configuration so I’m thinking it will hold its value short term as there are still a lot of ICE gear heads out there that will not consider an EV. In the...

    Why I traded my R1T

    While I love the Rivian experience I came to the coclusion this was not the vehicle for me at this time. I did give it a solid year. As my first pickup truck I found it very useful but cumbersome to maneuver in urban streets and parking lots as I was used to a small sedan (Tesla 3) prior to the...

    Rivian Cameo Appearance In NYT Bestseller

    That's the one thing I dislike about diving a Rivian, not very invisible for those of us that prefer to be. People that buy a cybertruck better love being the center of attention!

    Rivian paint quality?

    After a year and a half my launch green shines up really nice after running it through a quality car wash and no paint issues found. I admit I do not go over the car with a magnifying glass looking for issues.

    Comparing the ride quality of the R1T vs. R1S

    I originally ordered the S back in 2019 but switched to the T as I was impatient and glad I did. Room for 5 is plenty for me as I don't need the 3rd row seat. Storage and utility are better than any SUV I have ever owned (this is my first pickup truck) and now reading that again for my purposes...

    Questions after test drive, current owners please help!

    I have an R1T for 1.5 years now and came from a 3 performance. The R1 while not quite as nimble as the 3 has a solid feel to it, I'm 70% AP soft mode 30% sport soft mode with high gen always on. The motor wine to me is part of the experience driving the Rivian, the wind noise could be softer but...

    Updated Powered Tonneau Cover In Action! [Video]

    I've had my truck since August of 2022, put in a ticket for tonneau cover the day it was delivered and still waiting for the call to get it replaced. It still works but I hardly open/close it as I expect it will give out at any time. Looking forward to the new design that I can use.

    Is there any scheduled maintenance for my R1T?

    Tire rotation every 5,000 miles for me as I would like the tires to last as long as possible or at least until there are options for the 21" Pirellis. Discount Tire which is now a Rivian partner will do the rotation for free, pretty easy. I had a Tesla for 3 years prior to the R1T and the only...
