Thanks! That was a great video. Any idea what's up with the tonneau?

random question, what is the lowest degree you can set the temperature with the climate controls. I noticed you stopped at 65, is that the lowest before it kicks into "low" and blasts pure AC?

sadly that's one of the things I hate about all newer cars. I want to control the air temperature coming out of the vents, not have a temperature set point that is constricted by some random value and measured at god knows where in the cabin.

Main issue is the winter, where setting it to the lowest of 65 blasts air straight from the depths of hell. Then I'm stuck constantly toggling the climate controls on and off, because 65 is way too hot in the winter for driving (then turning it off fogs up the windows).

My Ram at least goes to 60, my prius is stuck at 65.

I just want you say thank you for taking time and filming that. I know life is busy (especially now) , but you’ve been super helpful and informative.

Thank you.
If there was one thing you wish was different, what would it be?
If there was one thing you wished other cars MFg’s did, what would it be?

How's the experience trying to get something fix by Rivian? Are they willing to fix that seat?



One random question, can you disable the green light while charging?

That's a very good video. Lots of useful information there.
I'm still concerned about the reliability of the tonneau cover. Can it be actuated manually or is it locking up on the track?

I have the same concern. It'll be interesting when there are more of these things on the road and covers get used and abused for a few seasons. At least then it'll be easier to get a sense of the long term relaiability.

Can you get to the fuse box? How 'bout a photo of it? Thanks for the videos and info--very helpful!

Something threw it off on the track so it turned crooked. I tried to fix it but I need like Thor’s hammer or something lol. I’ll let Rivian take care of it

Where is it?

Where is it?

I don't know...that's why I asked. Is it shown in the manuals?

It turns off after a little bit.

Rivian has been great.

Can you tell us what your specific truck Payload is rated at? Should be on the manufactures label inside the driver's door.

Great video. Thanks. What I am excited for is the delta between the T and the S shouldnt be that much at least from the operation of the interior, frunk and doors.
