Hopefully they’re getting paid for their time ?

Mine will either come 8 hours from Minnesota or 13 from Alberta, unless a service centre pops up here. Maybe I feed them lunch.
Or give them some beers!

A recommendation to those who've taken delivery is to check your spare tire area for water. I have the spare tire and I don't know how it happened but after the delivery specialist left I checked and had an inch of standing water in there. Pulled the tire and jack out and had to pull the drain plug to empty it. I guess I'll check it again next time it rains.

Depends on how fast you are slowing down. The vehicle visualization on the driver screen will show you exactly when the brake lights are on.
Do the brake lights stay on when it goes into Auto Hold mode at a light?

Does the Rivian have a "pet/climate" on-while-away mode?

Can you check the operation of the climate control and adjust via the phone app?

Anyone here with a R1T also own a Model 3? One issue with the Model 3 performance is that the power dies very quickly after 65-70mph. In an Out-Of-Spec review, I heard it mentioned that the R1T seems to sustain power to 100, and completely loses steam at 110. This is an exciting revelation to me. The ability to have insane acceleration at highway speeds between 60-100 would make highway driving a lot more fun for me.

Can anyone confirm if the claims in the Out-Of-Spec review are true or just fluffy fanboy-ism? Do you feel like the acceleration is sustained through 100mph?
I don’t have a model 3 but I just picked up my truck in Dallas and drove home to Houston. In all purpose mode the truck pulls strong to 115 where the limiter kicks in. Perhaps because you don’t hear the engine straining, you find yourself there quickly. 70-100 is not as strong as 10-40 but still exceptionally fast. Also note that regen doesn’t kick in near the upper limit so braking may be required.

Wait - you can raise it to standard in Conserve? I can swear that Kyle stated it was lowest bouncy mode only.
Yep. Standard, but not Low.

Other owners, I'm looking to see if it's just my truck or if others are experiencing as well.
When parking at home, my parking/proximity sensors do not work at all. If I'm anywhere that is not my home like a parking lot, the sensors work just fine. Will be mentioning it to my guide next week when we have our post delivery chat.

Is there a UI for changing the tire size? I might want to put 275/60r20 all season tires on the 20” wheels.
I would strongly recommend against putting on any tire not specifically designed for an EV. The heavy nature of EVs (due to battery weight) puts special desing requirements on the tread, hardenes and sidewalls. Putting on non-EV tires will affect your range, durability, safety in rain/snow as well as noise levels. This video does a really nice job explaining all this:

An E load range tire with appropriate speed rating will be more than adequate. And not even EV specific.

Well that's not good. May have to wait for the Cybertruck then.
good thing cybertruck has that ballistic class to prevent some helpful citizen from liberating your pet when they see it locked in the truck during a hot day.

Seems weird. I just pulled in my garage and they worked fine. They also seem to work fine other places.
