    Turn off screen torch mode when reversing?

    I'd like an independent brightness control for each screen. When I shut down the car with the screens at their lowest light settings, they stay at the lowest light settings when the car powers up. Just to pause here & say: I like the lowest light setting. It's what I like for driving in the...

    Uneven Tailgate wire cables

    My left side cable has slack. To close the tailgate, I have to slam it hard from the upper right corner. If i don't hit it Just Right, it'll show up as "open" on the main display. It didn't need special-focus slamming like that until it did. I think & feel like the tailgate has become skewed...

    Does anyone else have a problem withInfo Screens turning off while driving?

    My R1T (dual motor max pack) screens fade to black several times a day. Sometimes near home, sometimes it starts blanking several miles away. I've 3700 miles on it since I picked it up in Sacramento, October 2023. Sometimes I'll park & reset the software, sometimes I'll mash down on the...

    Blinker noise is annoying.

    My blinker volume is adjustable by turning down my hearing aids. It also helps with the wind whistle.

    Rivian R1S wrecked... 4 days after delivery! (but you should see the other guy...)

    Living out in the sticks with a Tesla (or anything heavy enough to corner really well), I get the occasional tailgater. I maintain a steady speed into the really curvy sections & if they're (typically) taking their cues from my driving & following too close to see the road ahead, they'll slow...

    20" Hankook all season tires specifically for Rivian

    Dynapro HT Highway All-Season Performance Start here & search By Vehicle: <https://www.hankooktire.com/us/en/home.html> I figured that while I was waiting for the Max Pack battery, somebody'd show up with a 20" all season road tire. Maybe more than one.

    Does birds eye view still work with mirrors folded?

    Grandad hung a wine cork by a thread from his garage ceiling. When he was in the right place, just short of hitting the stuff he couldn't see, that cork hit the windshield right in front of him & he stopped. You'd have a problem if you had a lot of wind in your garage...

    No Power Down (off-switch) - Just walk away

    Every time I put the Honda Ridgeline in "drive", the windshield wipers go on. I've walked away from it more than twice & had to go back & turn it off. "What's that noise?" - I left the ICE on.... It'll be close to Christmas (one side or the other) before I see an R1T with a big battery in the...

    Costco Run in R1T

    Thanks, yeah...Now I can imagine attachment points between a very tall front-of-bed crossbar & one on the rooftop. That'd satisfy my need for a little stability, or at least as much as a ladder would need. If it was strong & stable enough to tie down the top of the refrigerator, that would be...

    Costco Run in R1T

    120° in the summer shade in trend-setting hot.dry.town California...I'm gonna keep my shopped broccoli, half-n-half & frozen cheese blocks in the cool cabin with me. It's an adventure just walking across the driveway. An insulated 12v cool box in the frunk is being wished into existance as I...

    Meet the new SilvErado!

    It has a step. Is that for Cute or ground clearance? Makes me think it must be tall enough to need it.

    On 21" Tires . . . .

    Shipping disruption is a thing now. I can't get the kitchen sink I'd prefer, plumbing-repair parts until 5 months later, hard-drive gagetry, cute cameras, recording gear or a picky-cat's cat food for weeks/months already. I have the 20" AT on the order for that reason. For all other driving...

    Towing -- real life

    Yep, that's the one. Heated floors & automatic dog scratchers. I saw the Aēsop soap... If the luck is with me, my evacuation plan will be a bit more than half as long & less than half the weight of the Bowlus (bolus). For the ultimate party vehicle, there's still the EarthRoamer. Put that in...

    Towing -- real life

    I asked Taxa about "a trailer to charge my car as I towed " & they said they weren't planning anything like that. Also: it's probably a big jump to get an electric car to charge while it's moving down the road. Taxa is still my #1 choice for slow old people (me & missus), but there are some...

    Towing -- real life

    Living in the proverbial boonies, I want the range if I tow, so I hope to end up with a narrow, lightweight trailer - no wider than the R1T. That way, I'll still have a little bit of mirror sticking out. I'd want to look for back-of-trailer camera systems, too. Rivian might be more interested...

    Towing -- real life

    What else in the same size category claims to tow as much? I like a little Taxa Cricket camping trailer for California fire evacuations.
