Join me for an in-depth “exit interview” where I discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of owning this incredible electric truck. I cover everything from ownership highlights, such as road trips, software updates, and overall driving experience, to challenges like wear and tear, service issues, and early design flaws. I also dive into my charging experiences, including the evolution of Rivian’s charging infrastructure and the benefits of Tesla Supercharger access. This is a candid review of what it’s like to own a first-generation R1T, complete with insights into service, interior durability, and some quirks that early adopters might recognize. 00:00 Introduction 00:14 Saying Goodbye to My Gen 1 R1T 01:00 Ownership Overview 02:00 Service and Repairs 04:30 Software Updates 06:00 Road Trips and Charging 09:30 Home Charging Setup 11:00 Wear and Tear 14:30 Gear Tunnel and Tonneau Cover 16:00 Miscellaneous Issues 18:30 Reflecting on My R1T 20:30 Looking Ahead to Gen 2 22:00 Closing Thoughts Simple Tire: https://www.tkqlhce.com/click-101098512-15638940?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsimpletire.com%2Fpaid%3Fbrand%3Dnokian%26itemId%3D232776%26mpn%3Dt432888%26productLine%3Doutpost-nat%26tireSize%3Dlt275-65r-20%26v%3D1&cjsku=232776 Visit https://riviantrackr.com for the latest news and information. – Your go-to source for all things Rivian at https://riviantrackr.com Follow along on social media for the quickest news!
