    forget cracked windshields, who has cracked their front bumper camera?

    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.

    Rodents and soy-based wire insulation

    I was reading your post and actually got an on-topic ad served!

    Tesla nefarious behavior?

    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...

    forget cracked windshields, who has cracked their front bumper camera?

    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.

    Update 2025.06 is out!

    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...

    Update 2025.06 is out!

    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?

    Costco Tire Change - EXCELLENT Attention to detail!

    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 It may be...

    When will Rivian get CarPlay? Need better Nav and hands free text

    While my Rivian nav instructions have been bad, itā€™s 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 doesnā€™t work there may be a...

    Update 2025.06 is out!

    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.

    Lake Forest Service Center Experience

    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 isnā€™t crowded and they seem adequately staffed. My Service Writer was Kyle and he was outstanding! He was better at communicating status and...

    G1 QUAD Overheating Motors

    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...

    Toyo Open Country A/T III EV Tires (LT275/65R20) - Fantastic (Review & Efficiency Stats)

    Americaā€™s Tire (Discount Tire outside California) did the installation and inflated to the stock 48 PSI. I am going to leave it there for a while.

    Toyo Open Country A/T III EV Tires (LT275/65R20) - Fantastic (Review & Efficiency Stats)

    Iā€™ll 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...

    Toyo Open Country A/T III EV Tires (LT275/65R20) - Fantastic (Review & Efficiency Stats)

    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 canā€™t say much about efficiency or tread life, but the noise/vibration reduction is immense compared to the...

    Purple Gen 2 Quad R1S Spotted. Debut seems likely soon...

    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...

    Purple Gen 2 Quad R1S Spotted. Debut seems likely soon...

    While not my first choice, I like the purple and Iā€™m curious about the new QMax so it wasnā€™t like that was the only reason I was reading. I applaud any true colors being offered since Iā€™m tired of car companies offering just grayscale and ā€œcolorsā€ that are so dark they look black in anything...

    Purple Gen 2 Quad R1S Spotted. Debut seems likely soon...

    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 wasnā€™t duplicating someone elseā€™s joke.
