I received mine as well.

There are many descriptions on changing the filter but it's so simple on the Rivian compared at least to most Teslas and other cars I'll describe it. Simple pull up the cowl cover; no tools needed.

Slide off the plenum. Notice I'm another victim of Rivian's poor windshield quality. It had a long stress crack and now has a second impact crack. Meanwhile Toyota glass lasts decades of 4wheeling...

Yes besides nasty Los Angles air quality, my Rivian gets plenty of dirt trails and nature where the air is otherwise crystal clear. I had to do some cleanup while in here.

The filter housing tilts out and the OEM one comes out. With only 25K miles I thought I'd keep it as a spare. Well it was pretty packed with debris. Guess I'll toss that.

The Vion filter is nicely pleated and the carbon appears to be embedded in a second layer. Having a Carbon block water filter on my house, I can attest to how well they filter Chlorine and other things from my water to improve the taste. No doubt this will improve air quality over just a pleated filter found in most vehicles.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review and the great installation photo!

Your comparison to the home carbon water filter is absolutely spot on. The activated carbon really does make a massive difference for cleaner air.

Enjoy the fresh air in your Rivian!

This sun shade certainly helps to reduce cabin temps in my R1T, depending on the orientation of the truck and the position of the sun. From the driver’s seat it is a great addition. I completely do NOT miss that sunroof. Today, I hopped in the back seat to do something, looked up, and wondered how easy it would be to remove just the back portion, should any rear seat passengers desire a view or more light. It was super easy to take down and reinstall, taking only seconds to remove and a tad longer to reinstall - good option I realize this is not a very long term review, but, so far, it’s Saul Goodman

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It is awesome to hear that the sunshade is helping with the cabin temps and that the rear part is so easy to manage for your passengers.

We truly appreciate your support and the detailed feedback. Glad everything is Saul Goodman so far!
