2024 Rivian R1T All-Terrain Quad Large

"Raw Review of Rivian The Rivian R2 is coming s00n in 2026 and we wanted to share more personal details about our journey with Rivian over the past 3.5 years. We come from a background of sports cars and trucks/SUVs that we have truly enjoyed over the past couple of decades. These include Audi Quattro, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Subaru WRX, Toyota TRD PROs (4Runner, Tundra, Sequoia), and Porsches (Cayenne, Taycan). Each vehicle had a unique list of pros/cons and we remember each car fondly for their respective time in our lives. We first heard about Rivian and RJ Scaringe (CEO) when they revealed themselves publicly at the LA Auto Show in 2018. After sealing a large deal with Amazon for electric van manufacturing, we decided to take the leap of faith and placed our reservation deposit for the R1S in April 2019. After several years of waiting, the R1T trucks started to deliver in 2021 and we finally took delivery of our 7-seater R1S SUV in September 2022 at the brand-new service center in Austin, TX. WE LOVE GROGU OUR LAUNCH GREEN R1S! We drove all around Central Texas to include camping trips and off-roading. We drove our kids out to Colorado when we moved to Colorado Springs in 2023. Subsequently, we have road-tripped to amazing destinations in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, California, and Wyoming. Charging along the way has become easier and easier with each passing year thanks to the growing infrastructure. With our young kids, we typically take pit stops every few hours for snacks and bio-breaks during which time we typically charge up the Rivian. Some hotels and campgrounds even offer overnight charging at their parking lots so that we are all “topped-off” the following morning for our next adventure! Here are a list of specific reasons why we love our Rivian: \-smooth and linear acceleration with instant throttle response \-regenerative braking allowing for single-pedal driving \-height-adjustable air suspension for driving in varying on and off-road conditions \-home charging from the comfort of our garage \-software improvements and upgrades that continue to evolve our driving experience in the best way possible \-phone app integration for improved user functionality to include Live Camera views and temperature control features \-abundant storage capacity in the FRUNK and rear cargo spaces \-glass roof allows for an open cabin feel and a totally immersive experience in nature \-Meridian sound system is epic for listening to music on the go and for watching YouTube videos while parked \-Gear Guard Gary is a fun Rivian mascot that keeps our 7-seater SUV fun and interactive for the whole family \-interior design is comfortable and inviting like a relaxing living room space (minimalistic but not too spartan in all of the right ways) \-Camp Mode makes the R1S super useful for getaway glamping trips \-fun interior and exterior lighting features that are modifiable and enjoyable during the Halloween season \-the bir"

"My 3 year journey with my R1T TLDR: I love this truck, ownership of it over these 3 years has been a life changing experience. The relationship with this community and the company has been the icing on the cake. Also a 4900 mile road trip and a 19K 3 month repair. I was a Nissan Leaf owner from May 2014 to July 2022, in those 8 years I put 103K miles (12,875 miles per year) on that car with a lost 30% of my usable battery having an ending range of 65 miles on a full charge. Very limiting but I was happy to be able to drive electric even with the limited range. I was looking for a vehicle with more range, test drove a Tesla Model 3 in 2020 but wasn't happy with the build quality, put money down on Ford F-150 Lighting and was honestly just waiting for something to come along that would check all the boxes I wanted as my next EV. A coworker mention Rivian to me and I hadn't heard of it so I did a little research, I was very interested in what I learned and after watching a few youtube videos I put my deposit down for an R1T vehicle. I made an ordered with all of the bells and whistle, Rivian Blue exterior, Forest Edge interior, powered tonneau cover, I built my perfect vehicle. This was back in December of 2021. I did my test drive in May of 2022 and on July 20, 2022 I took delivery of my Rivian R1T. I was besides myself. I think I drove around that day from 9am when I took delivery till 2am sharing the vehicle with family, friends and strangers all over the city of Atlanta. I must have shown off the launch feature to no less than 20 people that day, maybe more. (Side note, I would love to know if there is a way for Rivian to check out my drive history to see how many times I've "Lanched" in my 3 years of ownership) Life changing. That what I tell people when they ask me how my experience living with the truck has been. In those early days the number one question I got from folks was a very quiet "Do you like it?" Not like, "how is it?" but more of a core, deep down inside, do I connect with the vehicle? I don't ever remember hearing people ask such a pointed, direct question about any purchase I've ever made. Life changing is what I would tell them. In the Leaf, I was very limited on where I could go and where I could explore. I was a baggage handler for USAirways from 1993 to 2005, I had 15 1/2 years of flight benefits, flying around the world for free. It was a great part of my life. Those 8 years with the Leaf were great years as well where I explored Atlanta with a lot of passion but I rarely left the city. With the Rivian it was time to take exploring to the next level. I started with the Georgia Traverse, 300 miles of forest roads through the North Georgia Mountains doing little pieces on my days off from driving freight trains for CSX railroad. The next adventure was to tackle the Blue Ridge Parkway in its entirety, then the Sky Line Drive. I explored the 4 pervious state capital cities of Georgia and then al"

"Long-Term Battery Degradation Analysis of My Rivian R1T Launch Edition (via Home Assistant) I’ve been tracking my Rivian R1T Launch Edition’s battery health using Home Assistant with the Rivian integration. This setup lets me pull real-time sensor data directly from the vehicle (in this case, sensor.battery\_capacity), which records the estimated usable battery capacity over time. Since the R1T Launch Edition came with Rivian’s **Large pack (\~135 kWh OEM)**, I’ve been curious about how degradation looks in practice and when Rivian’s warranty replacement threshold (80% of OEM, \~110 kWh) might realistically come into play. I noticed it really started to drop down in the past month so I wanted to look deeper into it: # 📊 Data & Method * Collected raw data points via Home Assistant from Jan 2025 onward. * Exported the history into CSV and ran a **linear regression** on capacity vs. time. * Current measured capacity is **\~128 kWh**, down slightly from the \~130 kWh starting point in my logs. # 📉 Degradation Rate * Trend slope: **–0.0051 kWh/day**, or \~**1.86 kWh per year**. * This equates to **\~1.4% loss per year** from the OEM 135 kWh. * Compared to published EV fleet averages (Tesla, Hyundai, etc.), this sits on the *low end* of typical degradation rates. # 🔮 Projection Based on my original date from the start of tracking, here’s what it looks like: * **80% warranty threshold (110 kWh)** projected around **October 6, 2035**. * With 95% confidence, the window ranges from **July 30, 2034** (earliest) to **May 7, 2037** (latest). So at this rate, my pack has **\~10–12 years** before dropping below Rivian’s warranty cutoff. That’s with normal daily driving and charging habits (mostly AC L2, occasional DC fast charging). HOWEVER, when I reduce the dataset to just the past month, when I am seeing a steeper drop-off, the extrapolated projection, extended out to the point where your R1T battery is expected to hit **110 kWh (80% threshold)**. * **Trendline (red)** runs all the way through the projected crossing. * **Blue line** marks the estimated crossing date: **October 26, 2027**. # 📈 Visualization The graph shows: * Orange scatter points = measured Home Assistant data * Red line = regression trendline * Green dashed line = 110 kWh threshold * Blue dashed line = predicted crossing point # ⚡ Takeaway * Real-world data + Home Assistant makes it possible to do your own long-term fleet-style battery studies. * At the original degradation rate, I’ll likely still be comfor"

Among other issues, my 12/23 manuf arrived with a rip in the leather, discoloration in the wood panelling, rough paint touchups, an entirely discolored exterior door paint job, and a ~1 \*INCH\* panel gap in a section of the hood.

"Rivian R1T QM to R1S Gen 2 Dual Max - Don't do it "Sometimes we don't truly appreciate the value of something until it's gone." Every day I drive my Gen 2 R1S, that sentiment hits home. My family situation changed, and I needed a bigger car. I could have made do with my R1T, but after seeing all the glowing reviews of the R1S, I decided to take the plunge. I went for the Dual-Motor Max Pack for the extra range. For reference, my R1T had a VIN in the 8000 range, and my R1S is in the 54,000 range. **Negatives:** 1. **Acceleration:** The Dual-Motor Max doesn’t hold a candle to the Quad-Motor. If you’re used to the Quad’s acceleration, the Dual will leave you disappointed. The way it is tuned, it feels sluggish. 2. **Suspension:** The Gen 2 R1S suspension feels floaty. It lacks the stability and sporty feel of the R1T. 3. **Audio:** The audio system has taken an enormous hit. I’ve made a separate post detailing this. 4. **Material Quality:** The plastics used on the doors, steering wheel, and other areas feel cheaper. The cabin no longer has that premium touch. It’s hard to put into words, but once you sit inside, you’ll notice. 5. **Doors:** The doors feel lighter and less substantial. The locking mechanism has also changed for the worse, losing that solid, high-quality feel. 6. **Range:** Despite the new motor's supposed efficiency, there’s little difference in real-world range. My R1T had a 135 kWh battery, while the R1S has a 142 kWh battery, but I’ve only noticed a 10-15 mile difference. In fact, I used to get around 330 miles on a single charge with my R1T, and conserve mode was always there when needed. 7. **Automatic Front-Wheel Drive:** This feature is enabled by default on highways, and in some situations where I needed quick acceleration, the vehicle hesitated, taking a moment to switch to the rear motor and regain traction. 8. **Cabin Noise:** The HVAC system in the R1S is noticeably louder compared to the R1T, even at the lowest setting. I’m not sure if the cooling systems are different, but the noise inside the cabin is significant. 9. Service issues - Car has alignment issues, I check for service dates, it shows availability in December. 10. Software issues - So many error notifications. Usb c ports stop working every other day. Have to reboot the vehicle to fix. **Things I knew but still miss:** 1. The 12V charger in the dash—essential for someone on the road frequently and needing quick charging for multiple devices. 2. One year less on the warranty. 3. Reduced frunk storage space in the new model. 4. No charging improvements 5. The rear seats, 2nd row and 3rd are very difficult to adjust. 6. Console charger, still unusable. It's been 3 years. Come on now. **Positives:** 1. The camera. Great picture quality. While they might have made improvements under the hood, the overall cheapening of the vehicle has tarnished my day-to-day experience. In hindsight, I wish I had kept my R1T. It feels like Rivian has done a ba"
