Changed my order from the white interior to the black interior and suddenly my truck came much sooner than expected. Now I have to sell my RAM that I just bought last year thinking my R1T wouldn’t be here for another year!
Loving the truck. Everything I expected. Have had a couple of snafu‘s. One morning when I was rushing to get my son to the airport the screens didn’t turn on. Tried to reset but that didn’t work. Luckiky had another car available. By the time I got home and started the Rivian back up the screens worked.
Then yesterday, my buddy got into the car and I was telling him how the stereo kicks but unfortunately only the subwoofer would play. Finished our drive and left the truck where we were for a few hours and when I started it back up the speakers were working again.
Not a big fan of the infotainment so far because I am a heavy Apple CarPlay user and love Waze. The NAV on this truck is imperfect to say the least. There are six 150 kW Electrify America chargers in my hometown, but the Rivian NAV does not list them. As bad as Siri can be, Alexa is not much better. I find that Alexa has problems getting contact information correct when I’m trying to make phone calls.
Finally, I had a major nuisance when I tried to connect my bike carrier. I will make a separate post to help out people. The hitch receiver is quite wide at about 3 1/2 inches and threaded hitch bolts barely make it across. It’s OK if you want to use a cotter pin only, but if you want to use a lock, then you may have to do some work. Check my other post.
