Rivian R1T 2022

About this car

PICKUP/ARRIVAL: ***After booking, don't forget to verify your license. This can be done by uploading an up-close photo of your license as well as a photo of yourself holding your license to the trip photos under the booking confirmation (this is the same place you would upload your Rental Cover Insurance). Upon verification of license, I will send you the code/location of the lockbox containing keys to the vehicle. ***Document vehicle condition: I will be taking pictures of the car to document its exterior and interior condition upon delivery. Before leaving the pick-up location, please take photos of any scratches or dents and upload them into the trip photos. GUIDE/WARNINGS/RULES: ***If you walk up to the vehicle and press on the handles, the vehicle may register the key and push out the handles automatically for opening. If not, no worries; Press the unlock button on the key fob and the doors will unlock. If you walk away from the vehicle, it will lock automatically as soon as the key is out of range. Please don’t leave the key in the vehicle (while renting) because that poses risk of theft to the vehicle and sometimes the vehicle may not register the key inside after you have parked (this will cause you to be locked out). If this occurs, please give me a call and I may be able to unlock it remotely depending on the vehicle’s LTE signal. ***This car has a Dual-Zone Climate Control System! The driver, passenger, and rear passengers can have different temperature settings. You can “split” the temperature in the AC settings. ***The standard range is 314 miles on a full charge. Due to factors like weather, speed, and road conditions, expect around 75% of the stated range (approximately 235 miles). ***If you want to find a charging station, you can press the charge icon on dash display screen. It will then show you superchargers in your area. There is a Tesla to Rivian (NACS to CSS1) charging adapter in the frunk space of the car. ***Snow Chains: If caught in the snow, DO NOT USE SNOW CHAINS! Rivian R1Ts are low profile and are not designed for snow chains; this can cause the knuckle of the control arm to shear. This is very dangerous and is also an extremely expensive repair (even if shearing does not occur). It is recommended to use snow socks and "Snow Mode" to properly manage power distribution ***Battery Management: Avoid letting the battery go too low to preserve battery life. I recommend remaining above 15% charge, if possible. I recommend supercharging up to 80% in 20-30 minutes at fast charging stations. Above 80%, the charge rate begins to decline rapidly (because it charges logarithmically for you math folks out there). Never let it get below 5% because this will cause battery degradation and could possibly incur claim fees if the battery is negatively affected during your trip. The charge limit will be set to 90%; charging above 90% should be avoided unless necessary for longer trips. ***Unplugging the Electric Charging Cord: In case…
