That https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/rock-chip-on-front-bumper-camera.14707/post-327681 is a great find! It would be nice if @RWerksman or one of our other talented designers on the forum can come up with an adapter which can be 3D printed.

I think the placement of the camera(s) compared to the location of human eyes may be a problem in real world use of these systems.
Basically, being so close to the windshield means that a relatively small blockage when viewed as a seated human driver (bug guts, tiny chip in glass, bird poop...
Does anyone make a clear protective cover for the front camera? If not, something like that, or a replacement lens, could be an opportunity for the aftermarket.
Yeah, and they can make a creaking noise which sounds creepy enough to make its way to a future Halloween theme.
This creaking used to be a common issue since the shutters moved every time the vehicle woke up. A while ago an update stopped this behavior by only allowing the shutters to move at...
On my Gen1 I noticed that this update brings back the radiator grill shutters opening (and creaking) on wake. Is anyone else seeing this behavior again?
I think those pucks are the problem.
The ones I got from @Mark_AZR1T with JackPucks.com have rubber on the bases, probably for this very reason. https://jackpucks.com/collections/featured/products/no-1-selling-rivian-magnetic-jack-pucks-for-rivian-r1t-r1s-to-change-or-rotate-tires

While my Rivian nav instructions have been bad, itās always shown the vehicle in the right location. This sounds like a software or hardware problem.
Have you tried restarting your infotainment by pressing and holding the outermost steering wheel buttons? If that doesnāt work there may be a...
I also wish it could be enabled on demand since I would also use it for parallel parking and nothing else. A friend of mine, on the other hand, has been patiently waiting for this on his R1T since the moment he bought it.
I was there recently for a proactive 12V battery replacement and I have to say that the Lake Forest facility and employees are great. The facility parking isnāt crowded and they seem adequately staffed. My Service Writer was Kyle and he was outstanding! He was better at communicating status and...
I thought the same thing about the color of the bar: leave it yellow until it is a problem and then make it red. Some people might notice that the bar changed color and, at a glance, think that orange is actually red. It seems like that UI choice is inviting misinterpretation.
Love the GIF of...
Iāll post updates when I have meaningful experience with them. Part of the reason I waited so long was analysis paralysis and I am glad to help other looking for data: good or bad. I went with these because Rivian recently endorsed TireRack.com and when I went to their site the only two options...
I had a set of the Toyo Open Country A/T III (EV SL) tires installed 2 days ago to replace our factory Pirellis which had almost 30k miles on them. With less than 100 miles on the Toyos I canāt say much about efficiency or tread life, but the noise/vibration reduction is immense compared to the...
I happen to like their Canyon Red, but I completely understand what you mean. We had a 2005 Mazdaspeed MX-5 in Velocity Red which was gorgeous. Had a really nice metallic flake or fleck and I wish I had a decent picture of it.
I could see Rivian going to a more pure red and also offering an...
While not my first choice, I like the purple and Iām curious about the new QMax so it wasnāt like that was the only reason I was reading.
I applaud any true colors being offered since Iām tired of car companies offering just grayscale and ācolorsā that are so dark they look black in anything...
It was the first thing that popped into my mind when I read the post by @Rividiculous this morning but I had read the other 9 pages to make sure I wasnāt duplicating someone elseās joke.
