For reasons I won’t go into here, I use my fob a lot! I hang it on my belt loop with the carabiner. Two months ago, during the course of an “adventure” activity, it disappeared off my belt loop - never to be found again. I ultimately purchased another fob for $260 - ouch. The moral of the story...

I wish that Rivian had located the antenna fin on the front of the roof, rather then the back. As it is, it is right in the way of mounting anything that might extend over the roof. This forces things, like an RTT or any rack, to be raised an additional 4+ inches above the roof, to clear the fin...

I have always wanted the ability to use my Apple Watch as a key, but I was getting along with the FOB, which I used a lot. Well, I did it. I lost my darn FOB 😡 Now I really, really want to be able to use the watch as a key, so I don’t always have to take my phone everywhere. At one point, early...

For those that may be on the road and/or off the grid for days, conserving the Rivian battery is certainly a concern. Running a DC fridge 24/7, for days, having the vehicle power always on could be a problem. I have a Dometic CFX40 fridge that I use for camping. It was never an issue with my...

So I was putzing around in my T, yesterday, and went into the Camping screen. In the Energy Use portion, I selected Stay Off. The options are Stay Off, Normal, and Stay On. The screens went blank and I left the car. Normally I see 1-2% drain every 24 hours. This time, 16 hours later, I had not...

While I can remotely lock and unlock my R1T doors (sometimes), other key features just quit working. Most importantly, I can no longer use my iPhone to set parameters for charging, alter the schedule, or even start/stop charging. Now, I have to do all this the in car, which sucks 😡 I have tried...

I have found that Rally mode, in my R1T, is my go to mode whenever I encounter rough dirt trails/roads or crappy paved road sections. The dampening and stiffness settings seems much better than All Purpose or even the All Terrain mode. I would love to see these settings available in the On Road...

So, headed into town today, roughly 6-7 miles. Driving at a modest pace, not exceeding about 45 mph. As I looked over to my center display, I was shocked to see all motors registering a temperature around 240 degrees. Whoa! That is pretty darn hot for just putting around. In fact, one motor rose...

Okay. I’ve had my R1T for a month and a half, charging only at home. Having never charged remotely, I have no idea about the procedures or routines for remote charging with the different vendors. I signed up for the ChargePoint connection via my Rivian home page, assuming that created some sort...

So, I’m getting my full size spare tire/wheel (20” AT) delivered to my house, tomorrow. That’s kinda cool. I had a question regarding reduced regen on longer grades. So, I posted it on my app. In short order I received a call from service to answer my question and put my mind at ease. At that...

Electric fridges need to breath and will create some heat in an already warm frunk. Not sure that is the best place for maximum efficiency. if one has room, the back seat area is a good option. It’s very easy to setup. I did it in short order, with a piece of plywood, as a proof of concept...

I think it’s pretty well established that the large pack has roughly 135 kWh. Has anyone determined how many useable kWh there are in the large battery pack? I’ve seen #’s ranging from 128 kWh to 132 kWh. Maybe I missed it somewhere. It would be a nice number to know when calculating max range..

The escape button in the rear bed is a security issue for my use case. Has anybody disabled/disconnected this button and how did you do it? And, yes, I fully understand that a determined thief will find a way. It’s the opportunistic thief I would like to discourage. Thanks.

Assuming a purchase price below $80K and with income limits met, does a new R1T, purchased after April 2023, qualify for the full $7500 tax credit or only $3750? Specifically, is there an issue with the batteries that could reduce the maximum credit to $3750? I thought Rivian was okay on...

We have all had the experience of driving behind somebody that is constantly on and off their brakes. You know - the persistent tailgater, erratic on and off the gas/brakes, two foot, etc drivers. It can be annoying watching those brake lights constantly cycling, often times for no good reason...

Is it, or will it ever be, possible to use a smart watch as a key, instead of a smart phone? I have an AppleWatch with cellular connectivity. Basically, the watch performs most of the same functions (calls, texts, emails, mobile payments, etc, etc.) as the iPhone. Therefore, I often go out...

I will be mounting a 79” long RTT, when I get my R1T. I will be using a tall bed rack, but would like to keep the rack as low as possible. Ideally, it will be below the shark fin height, but just clear the spoiler. The tent would then mount right up to the shark fin. I’m not looking to have the...

Just got this email update from Xtrusion Overland, yesterday. Looks like they finally have their bed racks ready to go. I’m diggin’ the roof height option. They look great! We‘ll see what shows up on their website, tomorrow. _____________________________________ Xtrusion Overland has...

As proximity to a service center seems to be somewhat of a consideration for order fulfillment, can anybody provide a list of current operational service centers as well as future locations, preferably with projected opening dates? Thanks. ————————- Okay. I found a list of the current service...

On the R1T’s the roof is the same color as the body. On the R1S’s the roof is black with chrome trim, regardless of the body color. Not sure why Rivian chose this path. So, here’s the question - which of these two iterations of the R1S looks better. Before I state my preference, let me make it...
