  1. My first error messages arrive at 10,325 miles!

    Just returning from CC to San Antonio today. We have a boat in the harbor. Will keep an eye out for you. Get a $12 beach pass so you can drive your rivy right out on the beach.
  2. Buying used R1T, how to tell if it comes with tonneau cover?

    When I got my R1T, I dropped by a local Rivian space and made friends. They were able to pull up the original bill of sale with all options from the VIN.
  3. Broken latch spare tire well - help

    From what you describe it sounds like you may have a broken cable connector in the bottom latch release. This was the case on my R1T when I got it. They used plastic for the tab where steel would be stronger. You should be able to get to the underside of the tub by putting the suspension to...
  4. White Scale/Discoloration on Front Bumper

    Thanks. I have used a Ceracoat ceramic product on all of the cladding and it looks great. This is actually the fascia just below the grill, which seems to be of a different material.
  5. White Scale/Discoloration on Front Bumper

    So far no joy removing this with CLR or a magic eraser. What might I try next?
  6. No Error Codes: How to change or disconnect the 12V Battery w/o throwing errors

    Disconnecting the HV prevents the vehicle from attempting to recharge a missing 12v battery when it detects voltage has dropped. You don't want an unpredictable live 12v source in your work area. Inability for the HV to replenish the 12v is also the source of an error that may require a SC visit...
  7. Silly Super Simple Soft Racks

    We took advantage of of an unusually warm day to go SUPing last week. I was too lazy to rig up the bed rack, so I worked up a simple soft rack that would install quickly and protect the roof of our R1T. Used the old trick of just grabbing a couple pool noodles. I initially was going to use a...
  8. Rivian Adventure Network (RAN) Charging Rate

    Thanks for those useful charts. Good to know what to expect. FWIW, I did clearly state all of the charging conditions in my post that rule out issues like ambient temperature, battery not prepped, or shared charger. Mine is a 2013 dual max.
  9. Rivian Adventure Network (RAN) Charging Rate

    Also seeing slow charge rate at the San Antonio RAN today. Navigated here by GPS. Ambient temp 70F. SoC ~35% at session start. Plugged into charger 2 slots away from the only other Rivian charging. Was charging at 130kW initially. Other Rivian an left. Charge rate dropped to 110kW at 50%...
  10. Honest Feedback on buying 2023 R1T- knowing what you know

    Will add my vote to the "best vehicle I've ever owned" pile. Planning to keep mine forever. Aside from damage caused by the previous owner, mine has been pretty trouble free. There are indeed some rough edges with the vehicle and company being a first iteration. Software updates have resolved...
  11. Yakima FatCat Mount installed

    Not intended as a barb. I recognize that some folks do just that. Part of the fun.
  12. Yakima FatCat Mount installed

    I think that barb says more about you then me. FWIW I'm a lifelong skier who has owned several racks. Made a promise to stay of the double diamonds since I turned 60. And, now living in Texas, I'm lucky to spend more than 2 weeks each year on the slopes. I may not be up to date on the very...
  13. No Longer Wish to Use Tesla Supercharger Network

    Under these circumstances I think you're continued used is actually a burden to their company and not putting money in his pocket. Sounds like a solid ethical choice. Think I may have to work up a bumper sticker for Tesla owners. Something like: " I bought this before we knew he was a Nazi "
  14. No Longer Wish to Use Tesla Supercharger Network

    While I really appreciate the convenience, reliability, and rates at Tesla superchargers, I gotta say I'm starting to think very hard about where I'm spending my money and who it benefits.
  15. Phone as a Key doesn’t work for women

    YMMV but my wife is daily greeted by our Rivian as she walks by pretty much every time. She has an iPhone 12. I have a Pixel 7a and sometimes struggle to be recognized at all. This is especially the case with 51.02 update. Would be fun to say our truck has good taste, but it's probably a...
  16. "A mirage take shape Feb 19" - Rivian teasers [for new California Dune color?]

    Don't know if I should be happy or left out not to be receiving those Rivian marketing emails. R1T owner and R2 res holder. Leaning towards happy. :cool:
  17. Yakima FatCat Mount installed

    Mounting on the roof is also a very valid option. I suppose each person must make their own judgement and choices as to safety, convenience, wind resistance, aesthetics, security, etc. I agree that skis in the truck bed under a tonneau cover sounds like a great option that seems to satisfy all...
  18. Underseat Partition Template

    Found the foamcore board at Michael's. https://www.michaels.com/product/16-x-20-black-foam-boards-3ct-10308906 They seem to be thicker and sturdier than the cheap stuff from Dollar Tree I've sued to make RC airplanes.
  19. White Scale/Discoloration on Front Bumper

    Is anyone else getting this discoloration on the upper lip of the bumper fascia? It doesn't seem to wash off or buff out, so thought I would ask around before getting more aggressive with it.
  20. Underseat Partition Template

    Ended up laser cutting these from a high quality foam board. Bonded two 1/8" layers together. Stiff, strong, and super lightweight.
