Just a quick update on my impressions of the R1T. Silver/Black/Ash All Terrain upgrade and manual tonneau cover. (June/July delivery).
Thanks, I would like to try my hands at a drive video and show the truck(s) in action if anyone in the Atl area is interested let me know.
To summarize - can't wait to drive it again!!!
- Lack of XM radio - for now
- Very cool when you use the blinker and it makes a different sound when a car is in your blind spot.
- Where the heck do you find your odometer and/or trip data (found it but what a pain - Rivian you can do better).
- The outside temp showing on my dashboard read 101 and it only reached 85 or so today. So not sure if the placement of that sensor may need some attention.
- The ride is very tight and the tire pressures were 51 - 52 psi (hot)..so I may adjust those down a little when i check them in the morning.
- Still a little bit of a leg hike to get into the Rivian - even in kneel mode..which is very cool. Wasn't expect that.
- Notice quite a bit of heat coming from the glass roof inside - may need to look into to a sun shade - any suggestions.
- If your doors are hard to shut - crack your window and that should help a lot.
- Drives great - but hadn't jump on it yet.
- Lack of text messaging - I think this will be fixed soon.
- VIN number is 24xxx and built in 5/2023. So I have the new Rivian stereo.
- Would like the seating position to drop another 1 -2 inches.
- Make a ding sound when the traffic light turns green - Telsa does this and I have become accustomed to it.
- NO glove box - wow really...I am utilizing the seat storage for now. But this seems like a missed opportunity.
- Gear tunnel is awesome.
- Driver+ - please update to be able to change lanes with blinker as opposed to having to engage Drivers+ each time - also please get more highways mapped - or is a "tesla autopilot" coming soon to be able to use on most streets/highways/interstates...hope sooner than later.
- Delivery people in Atlanta, Brandi and Charles are top notch - thank you for making this so seamless.
