If you haven’t opened it, I’d return it and get a hard shell one off Amazon from Bamacar (or one of the many that are just like it), no doubt UNLESS you must fit it solely over the bed of the truck. If you are putting the RTT on the S, then definitely go with a hardshell. Set up and takedown is...

Solid tent and I have one, but it doesn’t fit the Rivian crossbars without quite a bit of wrangling. I’m not sure how the tariffs have affected the prices, but there have been lots of really good hard shell RTTs on Amazon over the past year for the same price that I’ve wanted to upgrade to but...

That thing is just too barebones for 2025. If it was actually 20k out the door, maybe it’ll have a niche market, but I suspect far more people like the idea of having one for fun than will actually make the purchase and live with it as their daily driver. I also highly doubt it’s gonna actually...

You can’t discount everyone else’s anecdotes while simultaneously proclaiming the value of your own. Rivian has put out some lemons, yes. The vast majority are not. Subaru is (was?) known for reliability and I’ve had that thing in the shop for numerous warranty issues, including a new...

Honest question - have you tried to get healthcare? For something where you have a serious medical need, there might not be any appointments for a LOT longer than 3 months. This is 2025 and times have changed. If there isn’t a bunch of class action lawsuits for that stuff against insurance...

BYD (Build Your Dreams) is the dumbest name for a car manufacturer I’ve ever heard. I know it’s irrational, but it’s the automotive equivalent to someone with a face that just needs to be punched.

Subaru fixed the power issue but dang, 260 miles is more like 150 in the cold. That just wouldn’t cut it for me. I thought I could handle a standard range Mach E (211 miles) back in 2021 and I definitely regretted it in the winter.

I think Tesla needs this more than Rivian right now.

The Ford Maverick was marketed as $20k truck and at that price, it’s a total winner. Demand was so high that they all had markups, yet were still selling. Now it’s mostly just the hybrid drivetrains that have markups, but they’re still selling over MSRP…for models that cost well over $40k. One...

True, but having one just outside of Bend on the north side is nice. The more the merrier! If only we could get one near the Wallowas…it’s literally not possible to get there from Portland unless you are gonna get an AirBnB with a charger or use 110v (ie, no backwoods camping in a phenomenal...

No CarPlay though, so…

I had something similar happen and it comes down to repair facilities (not the service centers) being incompetent at times. I was without my T for 50 days even though I didn’t drop my truck off until the parts came in and it was just a minor cosmetic issue. The auto repair game is a crappy world...

I understand your argument that, despite the functionality of the gear tunnel, it has caused a net negative with respect to usability of the rear seats. But is that really true? I also wish the rear seats were more spacious and less upright, but is that because of the gear tunnel or because of...

Nice, the gen 1 R1Ts are phenomenal vehicles, especially at preorder or resale pricing. I’ve seen them in the low 50’s and that’s a huge bargain for what you get. They aren’t perfect, but nothing else on the market even remotely compares for the price. No accessories needed IMO even after years...

Glad you’re getting such good range. I only get about 1.6 with my RTT over the bed in similar conditions, but I’ve always gotten worse efficiency with all my EVs than most people. I think I need to learn how to drive better or something!

I hear what you’re saying, but my wife and I have been directly affected by Elon’s recklessness. Many now-former employees I shared my building with lost their jobs and their livelihood solely due to politics, not because of their performance on the job. It’s impossible to separate the two when...

Yep, and the new update has dramatically improved proximity locking for me. It’s been horrible for the last maybe 6 months or so but it’s working pretty well again for the past couple of days!

Probably so, but look how much minor repairs cost already. Relatively new Rivians are getting totaled out for stuff that looks repairable and I suspect that trend will continue as the vehicles get older and less valuable.

Ah gotcha. Even my credit union has a repo division that handles that stuff so I just assumed Chase would. Sounds like a win-win for Rivian.

I understand (kind of) why Rivian would accept a trade-in, but what benefit does Rivian get for just buying it outright at the same price?
