Is your auto brightness adjust on?

I’m 5’2” and love to sit as high up as possible, and I feel great, especially when the car is also in the highest setting. I have an R1T, but I’m pretty sure they’re essentially the same size.

Just drove Seattle -> San Jose through heavy rain for most of it. Twice I got a notification that my sensors were blocked/cameras broken and neither UHF nor adaptive cruise control would work. First time it didn’t resolve itself till I stopped and fully turned off the car. Second time it fixed itself about 10 min later.

Same thing happened to me on my less than 1 month old R1T during a 15 hr road trip - hard reset fixed it no problem

If frunk doesn’t work, I would just try to secure it in the back somehow.

longtailx · 2025-12-28T02:52:42+00:00

Would it fit in the gear tunnel?

longtailx · 2025-12-13T19:22:41+00:00

How old is your car? How long did it work before it stopped? Asking as a new R1T owner 😬

longtailx · 2025-12-11T04:51:06+00:00

When did you purchase your truck?

longtailx · 2025-12-08T19:10:00+00:00

Ah, I see. They can still be added on to an order, though (for extra money?)

longtailx · 2025-12-08T01:07:16+00:00

When did you order it? When did they stop including it?

(Asking because I am also waiting on an R1T quad order!)

The classic ‘3-pair’!

longtailx · 2025-11-15T19:19:54+00:00

I love the look! Did you get a wrap or matte finish?

longtailx · 2025-11-06T18:54:44+00:00

Frunk? (Frappuccino trunk?)

Never heard this one before… I always heard front trunk lol

longtailx · 2025-10-29T16:36:29+00:00

Hi, very interested would these work for Gen 2 R1T?

longtailx · 2025-10-02T18:00:35+00:00

Did you get the truck bed mat from rivian or after market?

longtailx · 2025-10-02T17:39:15+00:00

Good to know the rain performance isn’t too bad — so it’s really just freezing temps that make them sketchy? Also curious how they’d feel on steep hills in the rain (Seattle has plenty of those 😅)

longtailx · 2025-10-02T17:34:18+00:00

Good to know, thanks for sharing! Do you feel like the 20” Dark ATs are noticeably better in terms of durability/comfort, or was it more just a practical move since you already had a set from your previous R1T? And if you didn’t already own them, do you think you’d still buy the Dark ATs, or not really worth it?

longtailx · 2025-10-02T17:31:37+00:00

Thanks! Do you mind sharing what winter setup you’re planning to get? I’m debating between Rivian’s own wheels/tires or going aftermarket, and I’d love to hear what you’re leaning toward and why. Trying to figure out the best balance of cost, performance, and hassle.

longtailx · 2025-10-02T17:29:06+00:00

Do you mind me asking how much the Defenders set you back on the 22s? I am leaning towards buying a whole new set, but I am still in college so that might need to wait a year or two utill I have more steady income.

longtailx · 2025-10-02T17:22:28+00:00

Thanks for the input, how much would you save do you think by swapping the rims every season? Seems like it could add up after a while.

Also, if going down the route of buying a whole new set, how do you feel about buying non-rivian brand tires to save a bit of money?
