First of all, I must say that I absolutely love the truck and have had few issues with it or service. This one is minor, but it’s been persistent and annoying enough that I’m finally posting about it here! I’ve had the truck for about 5 months and ever since the first week, it’s had issues with...

I was in this camp too. Walked out to a bricked truck in the morning 2 weeks after taking delivery - I had hoped it was the software issue where the 12V wasn't topping up from the HV battery, since it had been plugged in the night before but no dice. They towed it away, also out of a narrow...

The accelerator pedal mapping is probably the one thing I definitively prefer in the Model 3 over the R1T. The go pedal in my truck doesn't do anything for the first 3/4 of an inch or so, where the Model 3 starts moving pretty much as soon as you touch the pedal. I'm not sure what the benefit...

I'm keeping my Model 3 for both of these reasons but even more because I know I'm effectively a beta tester for Rivian and am expecting some issues and need a backup car. That said, as long as both vehicles are in the stable, the R1T has become the daily driver!

It's not an airbag sensor in the rear seat, but there is an occupancy sensor in the seat for seat belt reminders instead. The front passenger seat has an occupant classification system (OCS) that tells the airbags how to deploy in case there's a small or large occupant, a child seat, someone...

Yup, that and pack swaps. IIRC, Tesla doesn’t include the pack size in the VIN for the same reasons.

I was going to suggest that maybe they had frankenstein'd a truck originally painted a different color and were just lazy/careless in not removing or masking off the badge before painting so it got painted over in the same color. But the fact they've already fixed it in photoshop tells me it was...

Elsewhere in the S-1 it said they’re bringing the Normal plant up to 200k/year or so (can’t recall the exact number) but suffice to say, there will be plenty of capacity to build Canadian vehicles there. And if they planned to build these at a plant in BC, and start selling them in the first...

Not exactly. EPA will make you test in whatever mode is “predominant.” Usually this means whatever mode is the key-on default. Depending on how they implement that mode, and how much margin they had to their stated targets, they may or may not have made that mode the key-on default. Usually a...

Can you explain why low regen and coasting is more efficient? I would have assumed that holding the accelerator in a “neutral” position such that you have no acceleration and little to no regen would accomplish exactly the same thing. In an EV, the motor has to provide some energy to “coast”...

They make them all freely available on their website (as do most other OEMs these days, I think). Here's the manual for my Model 3.
