Reason 1 why not to eat in your R1T or R1S

[wwheelkid]

I was getting an early start and decided to eat in the truck and of course some part of the biscuit (chick-fila if you must know) fell down the side of the seat next to the center console. And when I tell you it fell into the black hole it fell into the black hole. Never to been seen again. So be careful out there and if you are going to spill food make sure it is on yourself...lol.

I've often wondered where stuff goes when it goes...

My solution is to make everyone eat on trays. I like these for the simplicity and lack of plastic.

My wife dropped a Jolly Rancher when my daughter smacked her hand. Still can’t find it. Worst part is that happened in Death Valley two days ago, so undoubtedly it has melted and become part of the Rivian now. ?

Just picked up a loaner from Bellevue. Some of y'all are nasty. It had crumbs and spilled coffee and it reeked.

So I cleaned it up and am running an ozone generator. Hopefully the next person enjoys it.

TL;DR Don't eat in your car.

kid dropped a tictac down there and i could hear it sliding around for weeks. there is a hard plastic bottom somewhere under the seats that captures that stuff.

I dropped a lens from my reading glasses down in that hole. Everything else I have dropped I could rescue. That lens however is in the one area I can't get out without unbolting the seat.

my wife got something similar with pockets. I laughed at it and now I can't live without them

Use fish tank filter medium!

Back in Feb I dropped a chapstick into that crevice. It was rolling around under the seat for months. After they retrieved it (for free!) during a service appointment for wind noise, I vowed never again. I got some fish tank filter medium and cut it to a couple sizes and shoved that stuff both into the gap between the seat and the center console, and also the gap directly under the seat. I spent at least a couple hours when I first dropped the chapstick fishing around with an endoscope we had on hand, and got really acquainted with that space. It's really big. Make sure to protect yourself.

One of the greatest side effects of owning an EV (for me) - food stops only happen when we charge. You wanna eat - great - but you’re waiting until we need electrons.

I’ve had way too many stray french fries in my other cars. This is a good habit to be forcefully broken.

Side note: don’t let your kids apply sunscreen in the car. My son had an incident and dropped some, and the passenger door trim looked like a crime scene in vegas. I never open that door, so I didn’t know how bad it was for 2 weeks …
