    My experiences with Major issue while traveling

    My red canyon R1T got sick this week Campbell (named after the manufacturer of tomato soup) was charging at the RAN in The Dalles OR on our way to eastern Oregon. After unplugging I got back in and the car threw warnings. After a hard reset it never came back on. I had all the snacks in the...

    Snow socks on ice -- impressive performance

    After buying my rivian I bought socks last year, but didnā€™t need to use them. I rarely use extra traction as rivian does well. I wasnā€™t chancing the ice this morning. It was 25 degrees and raining and I live on a hill. I was very impressed on the performance. No slipping climbing a hill of pure...

    The little things: Flashlight

    Okay, we know we love our Rivians but something that used to get attention on every review but hardly mentioned now is the flashlight. I mean really, how awesome is it for you? I absolutely love it and use it multiple times a week, especially in the winter. I am wondering if anyone else uses as...

    Hypothesis: Charging schedule makes more efficient driving

    Okay, I have noticed a trend. When I drive right after a home charge session my truck is more efficient. Now with seeing battery temps I realized that if you charge for a moderate amount of time then the battery is warmer from the charging. So even though I donā€™t have time-of-use rates from my...

    Halloween mode?

    I could be blind. Or maybe itā€™s super hidden. But I canā€™t find Halloween mode after the update. Does it turn on tomorrow. (I remember last year it just disappeared after a date) maybe it will appear once everyone has the update? edit: Halloween mode will turn on 10/21

    Does your power tonneau cover still work

    This poll is for those early R1T owners that received a power tonneau cover. We hear how much it failed but how much did it really fail? I am hearing of quite a few tonneau covers that still function and even mine does too. I use it multiple times a day. I lubricate it once a month.

    Hyper-fast charging errors

    I am in the middle of a road trip. I traveled from Washington state to Utah. Now I need to go back and am kinda nervous about this issue. I have seen a few people comment on this in other unrelated posts so I thought I would create a post to see if others had good insight. If my truck charges...

    Alexa improving (hopeful for more improvements)

    So I noticed that phone functionality works much better with Alexa than it did many months ago when I last tried it. Alexa always replied with some kind of phrase like ā€œto make a call please allow access in your Alexa appā€ but for kicks I tried it again and it works perfect. I donā€™t know when...

    Launch mode not as good after update

    Has anyone else noticed that launch mode is no longer as strong as it was? This happened from this update. It used to have a suddenly jerk when coming off the break peddle. I thought it was just me but saw others discussing it. So I thought I would bring it here.

    I bought 4 more R1Ts today

    We have been hunting since they came out. And finally scored. A dollar store had four R1Ts. Now my two sons and I can have them to play with. And I can put one in my office. Sorry for those still looking. This little bit of sunshine made my day. I do wish they made it in red canyon though

    Seat positions will not remember until serviced

    I have been on this forum for a while and havenā€™t seen this one before. Anyone else seen it? Soft and hard reset didnā€™t fix. I guess I will open a ticket. Luckily itā€™s not urgent so I will wait for them to come to me or I will wait for a loaner. Portland doesnā€™t have a brick and mortar location...

    Went up the mountain for a Christmas tree using the R1T šŸŽ„

    What a great vehicle. I love the red truck with a green tree. Very traditional. I have been waiting for this since I got my truck. The northwest gets the wettest snow. Then when it rains it gets very slippery. I am on 21ā€ so not as good as the 20ā€ AT. But while driving up I passed by a jeep...
