    What do you want addressed in the next OTA update?

    Very minor gripe but popped into my head today. Ability to unlock the camp speaker manually. Too many times in Park, the speaker won't budge.

    EV SportsLine Bed Liner Fits Like a Glove

    I bought the flat version. Fit seems pretty on point but not sure how much grip I'll get. That was my main objective, not having things sliding around in the bed. Could care less about scratching the plastic bed. Haven't tested yet though so we'll see.

    2022.47.0 software update installed w/ SNOW MODE!

    Updated last night and went out for a spin on the snowy/icy MN roads right after. Very much improved driving dynamics. Mainly noticed the "Low" re-gen and muted throttle response. Thinking twice about the need for dedicated snow tires now. Thanks Rivian!!

    Your experience stopping on snow, on a downslope hill?

    I've recently switched to off-road, auto mode and it seems to add a level of "abs" traction. That said i came very close to an on ramp retaining wall while driving conservatively. Really felt helpless as the weight seemed to just pull the truck towards the wall. It won't take many more of...

    Nitto Ridge Grapplers tires (295/50/22) installed on 22” wheels on Rivian R1T

    I had a set on a Tacoma and they chewed through snow really well. I'll be considering them again on my 20's when it's time to renew worn tires.

    Snow Mode Needed! - My first snow drives in R1S and R1T

    Jumping in late but got 8" in MN yesterday. In All Purpose mode, the truck gets sideways quite easily and it feels like very little in the way of traction control. Now, once in Off-Road (auto), completely different experience. Very planted even at some speed. OR mode felt much more like my...

    Automatic Car Wash - What's Your Tonneau Cover / Cross Bars Setting?

    I've been hand washing so far but in MN it's only a matter of time. I'll be removing my cross bars. I've had a roof mounted bike rack almost completely ripped off cross bars. That was enough to scare me off having accessories attached while going through.

    Roadtrip! Portland OR to Northern Wisconsin.

    MN is tough for sure. Only DC fast in Woodbury but past that to the east, EA is decently represented. I took my first trip two weeks ago and really improved my efficiency when drafting semi-trucks. From around 1.8 to 2.9 at 70mph. Also GPS checked the speedo and learned at highway speeds, R1T...

    Bed mounted vs hitch mounted bike rack?

    Hitch mount with bikes makes reverse camera useless. That's why I also have the bed mount for solo rides.

    Tailgate not dropping? Anyone else?

    Mine used to but after a few yards of mulch in the bed, seems to be sticking. Not a big deal but boy does the spare tire area suck up crud if you load any kind of aggregate into the bed. Def not a work truck but for weekend warriors like me, no biggie.

    TONNEAU ISSUES / TROUBLES POLL - Headaches for Us and Rivian?

    Do tell!!! I've recently submitted my 3rd service ticket as it just keeps happening. There isn't a recalibrate note on my infotainment screen when I operate from inside the truck. Service advisor tried that one on over the phone.

    Bed mounted vs hitch mounted bike rack?

    I'm running a single 1UP over the bed and liking that. I did use my hitch mount as well. It's dangerously close to the truck bed so I'd recommend an extender if using 1UP. Anyone use driver assist with hitchmount??? In my X5, driver+ would freak out and fantom brake hard on the interstate...

    Testing the Rivian as a ‘backup’ power source

    Seems like an easy software fix. Something like "generator mode". Perhaps even be able to set a downside limit to battery level when outlets would shut off.

    Testing the Rivian as a ‘backup’ power source

    Ah, misunderstood your question. Yes, the return pump and wave maker in the aquarium run 24/7. That and two heaters and a light are all running from one power strip.

    Not liking one pedal driving

    So a cool feature is your Rivian truck avatar shows whether the brake lights are on or off. If you let off accelerator lightly so regen is gradual, no brake light. Pull foot off gas quickly, brakes come on.

    Testing the Rivian as a ‘backup’ power source

    Hard to say as I was asleep but would imagine draw went to zero once the truck turned the outlet off. I might try another round in a test scenario during the day so I can better understand when and why it stops producing power.

    Testing the Rivian as a ‘backup’ power source

    I lost power to my house the other week so plugged in my aquarium equipment around 9pm and found that the truck had gone to sleep at some point in the night. In the am, the outlet wasn't powering anything until I woke the truck back up. Power drain was minimal but couldn't say how long it was...

    TONNEAU ISSUES / TROUBLES POLL - Headaches for Us and Rivian?

    Mine from day one wouldn't close completely. About an inch 1/2 before contacting tailgate. Service re-calibrated it. It now works most of the time but I do have the same issue from time to time. Gear tunnel has been great for just that, gear.

    Bed divider?

    Would be great to have a bed mat. I've found anything in the bed currently slides around quite a bit without being strapped down.

    Two pairs of crossbars, two different styles of key.

    Thanks, i'll have to play with it a bit more. They do feel solidly built and i'm looking forward to adding a 1up!
