    I own an R1T. You control music using the steering wheel buttons. You also toggle between efficiency and maps on the Driver's display using the steering wheel buttons. Of course, Driver plus and adaptive cruise is on the steering wheel. Helpful hint: put lane assist in the lowest setting on the information screen.

    The buttons that you say “do nothing while you’re driving” are used to adjust the speed for your cruise control and open the garage door once you program it and it get with its proximity of your garage. Also, while not a full glove box, there’s storage bins underneath both your front seats. Just reach between your legs and you’ll find them. Those are prefect for storing sunglasses. I seriously hope they don’t listen to you and clutter up the center screen with more info. That stuff on the right is there for a reason, you don’t need it that often (or at all really).

    • @BJLudski
      @BJLudski  11 месяцев назад

      its not about cluttering up the center screen, its about being able to see what you want to see when you want to see it. some of us prefer to have our trip mileage in clear site vs on the far end of the screen. where as I dont need to make suspension adjustments at any given time, so why is that on the closest part of the screen.

  • @alesandraleckie5061
    @alesandraleckie5061 11 месяцев назад

    You can look at your mileage on your dash monitor, just hold down the left side of your steering wheel button and it toggles through tires, miles/, map. You can also turn off lane assist in your settings and it does have Driver+ which automates your driving. It steers, and drives for you on mapped highways.

    Might be a little too much reliance on tech. Makes more sense when amazon is buying fleets of them. For an individual person there will be times when you can't immediately get it repaired, but do need immediate use. Maybe I'm wrong, but my gut is telling me that any Rivian owner is a multiple car owner. You probably wouldn't want this to be the only car. You at least need a Jeep Wrangler or something else around, for when the Riv isn't fully operational.

    • @BJLudski
      @BJLudski  11 месяцев назад

      thats why we got it, knowing that it was a new car that is bound to have issues whether its repair related or battery related, knowing that we have back up vehicles. I think electric in general would be difficult to put 100% reliability into as the sole family vehicle.

    • @BJLudski
      @BJLudski  Год назад +2

      the R1S are having less insurance issues for fender benders because they use multiple body panel pieces, its the R1T trucks that are having more issues because the entire 1 side of the vehicle is 1 panel, including the rocker panel. so it costs big $$ to cut and graft it all back together to replace. but my insurance is 3x more expensive for the rivian than our 95k yukon denali, which hurts $$.

      @@aymanlockhartable I assume they'll fix some of this in the next iteration of the vehicle. But anecdotally my R1T was hit and run on the big back panel (deep 3x3 foot dent), they were able to fix for $3,500, which was way less than I expected. I was also scared by all the media stuff but luckily didn't seem to be true in my case.

    Just curious, do you live in the Bend Oregon area? Your area looks very central Oregon-ish. When are you going to try taking this off road? I have a new Gladiator Rubicon as well. 35s, Warn winch, steel OEM bumpers, LED fogs and head, bed cover, that’s about it so far. I just have a really difficult time believing Rivians or the Cybertruck will perform like a Jeep or Toyota off road.

    One thing I’m not 100% sure about. The crossbars, I don’t think you can use all 3 to mount the same cargo. From what I gather the roof is not flat, there’s a little curve to it, therefore the crossbars are not on the same plane.

    When all else fails, read the manual. You'd be surprised what you'll learn by doing that.

    Glad your doing a review, but you may need to watch other videos on the vehicle or read the manual and spend a little more time with it so you understand the features that you were explaining. You made a few errors as many people do. there are no speakers in the headrest, even though it looks like it, the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel do operate while driving they control your speed and distance when using driver plus and control curious. Good luck with it. Keep up the good work..

    • @BJLudski
      @BJLudski  11 месяцев назад

      I absolutely learned that after I posted this video, im deaf in 1 ear and thought that the speakers were playing sounds, when it was the overhead speakers playing the higher tones too loud. and yes, I learned that it was for the cruise control, but I dont use cruise control, so why not map the buttons to be useful for other things if they arent labeled like all other cars on the market.

      I”m coming from a BMW myself to the R1S. I can tell you it’s a lot of fun leaving my fellow Beemers in the dust with this thing. The Rivian is a lot more capable off road (and I do take it hunting fishing and mountain biking in remote areas). The practically of the additional storage space for where there’s normally a gas engine or a gas tank has made many a packed airport ride possible. Finally I can tell you I’ve had my BMW valeted quite a bit, but never have they commented how the “BMW is their dream car”, or asked if they can take their picture in it or parked it in the “VIP” area next to super cars….all of which happened with my R1S on separate occasions.
