Thoughts @ 50,000 miles on my R1T

Some thoughts on passing this milestone;

Acquired Quad motor Adventure with 21” tires in late July 2022. Hit 50k miles on August 1st 2024.

Overall it’s been an extremely fun and reliable vehicle. Powered tonneau has always and continues to work fine. Had the early suspension creaking but was fixed with the recall and had not returned. First set of tires lasted 35K and second set will make it that far too. Battery degradation has been minimal. Interior is holding up very well, even with a 60lb Labrador Retriever in the back seat for most of those miles.

Only issue has been a sticky charge port door motor that was replaced under warranty.

I use it extensively as a pickup. It does pickup things and travels around the country with power and grace

Do most charging at home but have done a lot of DC fast charging with 0 issues. Do your homework on plug share and just avoid the bad ones. Get the charging network apps and learn how to use them, I see a lot of user error out there….. it is harder than it should be to fast charge but a little homework and planning go a long way.

Will buy another R1T to replace this one when the time comes.

The charge port door would not always retract or extend. I could manually “help” it so it never left me in a bad situation. They replaced the actuator motor and it’s been fine since.

I would rather see a manual door than the automated one to avoid this type of failure.

Congrats. What % do you typically charge to at home?

45k. Over two years. Pretty solid. Handful of things that had to be addressed but overall impressed.

Nothing in the market like a Rivian...absolutely love mine!
