I love how black badges look on white vehicles, and I saw a full set on Amazon and jumped on it. I won't link to it, but easy to find on Amazon.
I already had a drill and a heat gun, I just needed to buy a sticker eraser wheel...

Why did the R1T win?
Rivian has spent the last few years refining its flagship with little software updates here and there, but the result of its major update for the 2025 model year was the most transformative by far. Though it doesn't look...
Took 2 visits. SC found that my front suspension was leaking. Rear drive unit was leaking and had metal shavings in it. They also redid the tig washer recall service. The front subframe was compromised. 2022 R1T, 22K miles. Parts were replaced with Gen2 where possible:

I am happy to report that the native SiriusXM app sounds much better than when streaming SiriusXM over Bluetooth from my iPhone. Also, if you already have a streaming subscription, you don't need a separate one for Rivian, and you can get the Streaming Platinum plan for $5/month by chatting with...

I was able to acquire a second Rivian Torch, but I can't charge it at home. You currently can't buy the Torch charger alone. Any site sponsors able to make one? I took apart the Torch, here are some pics.
This is annoying. Every dashcam has an overwrite feature to make sure you're always recording. Having to manually delete old recordings is pretty dumb. This needs to be pushed up to a near future update!
I have a 2022 R1T and randomly the air compressor does not stop at the set PSI. I have to manually stop it or it will just keep inflating. This has happened several times and I've inflated my tires well past 48 psi. The compressor screen does read the higher psi and once it's stopped, it won't...
While we wait for a native SiriusXM app, you can sign up for iOS beta, just go to beta.apple.com from your iPhone's Safari browser. Install iOS 18.1 beta and enable Apple intelligence. Been using it for a couple weeks now and it's pretty flawless.
With my phone connected to Bluetooth in the...
I was at a new Service Center in NY and asked about the new 22" Range wheels availability and was told that they would not clear the brakes on Gen1 vehicles. Maybe the brake calipers are smaller on Gen2?
I was really looking forward to slapping these wheels on my Gen1 R1T.
