    Draining the *&@(#!*& doors

    I had mine for over a year before I noticed a water issue. I took it to SC and told them to just remove the one-way valve plugs as I donā€™t intend to ford that much water. If I ever do it can drain out. My theory is the water isnā€™t coming through the door frame at top but rather at the...

    I was there my boys. Great event and as always, very friendly and passionate Rivian employees.

    Chicago Rivian Enthusiasts

    I ran into a R1S owner from Chicagoland at a baseball tournament in Iowa a couple weeks ago and when he got a R1T loaner for a week or so he said he did notice that the T does ride a little better. In his mind he said it was due to the longer wheelbase. Maybe he is on here and can comment.

    Chicago Rivian Enthusiasts

    Welcome everyone and glad there is finally a group for Chicagoland. October 2019 preorder from Park Ridge and picked up my Launch Green / Black Mountain R1T with 20 ATā€™s in March ā€˜22. So 15 months in and 18,000 miles. Some minor early glitches to sort through (probably due to early VIN) but it...

    April - May 2022 Delivery Club/Hype Thread

    Not yet. You are the first in this delivery slot to get one as far as I know. I guess I will now start checking my email every 10 minutes and answering every random phone call that comes in!

    Watch the R1T tonneau cover roll up automatically (with water on top)

    Oh wow, I didnā€™t think about that. That could be an issue too. Hopefully the engineers at Rivian have thought of everythingā€¦they have done pretty well so far.

    Front Legroom and Headroom

    I was at First Mile event and I am 6ā€™-1ā€. I have slightly longer legs for my height so I generally have the seat back further but prefer a slightly more upright seating recline position. So from a legroom perspective I am more like 6ā€™-2ā€ to 6ā€™-3ā€. When I sat in the driverā€™s seat and put it...

    Watch the R1T tonneau cover roll up automatically (with water on top)

    I am happy with the function of the powered tonneau (it will be closed 98%of the time) but I am concerned about the cover and the storage compartment above the gear tunnel getting moldy if not fully dried before retracting. I suppose if you didnā€™t exceed 12-24 hrs or so with it open before you...

    FOREST EDGE Rivian Interior Photos

    Agree with many viewpoints on the wood trim and wanting the ability to adjust OC and BM wood trims. While I had NEVER considered FE before, after seeing all 3 in person last week the FE really stole my attention. While they all look good, FE just seems to have a more premium look to it. Here...

    Test Drive Invitations are arriving! And First Mile events tab now available

    I wish that were the case. I am going but I havenā€™t heard from my guide yet (Oct. ā€˜19 preorder). Actually, I am fine with waiting a little bit for any kinks to get worked out and to get some feedback on tire/wheel selection before I finalize. I am hopeful for delivery around March timeframe.

    Emme Hall has an R1T and problems with Electrify America

    Yup, I donā€™t think I will be showing my wife this thread if I plan on getting my R1T.

    Test Drive Invitations are arriving! And First Mile events tab now available

    I will see what I can do regarding the tiresā€¦but the audio comparison may not be available if they are only putting out LEā€™s. Another possible variable for people being contacted could be the signup that came out a few days ago. I did signup to be notified of the the test drive events. Seems...

    Test Drive Invitations are arriving! And First Mile events tab now available

    Got my invite and I am signed up for Monday 9/27. I live in Chicago with an Oct. ā€˜19 preorder date, LE R1T. There were time slots for Sunday through Thursday (I think).

    Motor Trend Review: The 2022 Rivian R1T Is the Most Remarkable Pickup We’ve Ever Driven

    Perhaps some aftermarket hooks can be added. ?. Also, there is a cargo net at front face which will be nice/expected but not seen before as far as I know.

    First Mile Event National Tour (live Rivian experience) announced!

    Since each of the 4 locations have different population densities, I donā€™t think a standard mile radius applies for this. LA and NY are very dense, SF is middle of the road, and Normal doesnā€™t have anything large until you get to Chicago about 120 miles away. Letā€™s hope they just keep chipping...

    Regen Braking for Beginners.... I have questions

    I donā€™t know if this topic has been covered on the forum yet but this seemed like the best spot. Does anyone know whether the the brake lights are activated when you take your foot off the ā€œgoā€ or ā€œexhilaratorā€ pedal? I believe there are now a reported 4 levels of regenerative braking (ā€œRBā€)...
