Mine is as you describe. The right application of friction can be plenty secure/strong to make it impossible for a human to move something. I’ll give an example: rock climbers rely on ropes that are secured using friction devices attached to a belayer on the ground. When a climber falls, a much...

I mean with enough determination and a hack saw, angle grinder, or electric bandsaw, no rack is truly secure. Deterrence by means of creating sufficient difficulty, inconvenience, and or time it takes to steal (increasing the risk in the risk:reward equation) is what you’re after. I think...

I have an R1T and placed a preorder for an R2 for my partner. We decided the Nissan Versa she was driving just wasn’t going to cut it until 2026, so I found a Volvo XC40 recharge with 85k miles (but in immaculate shape for the miles) for just under $25k (to get the $4k used EV credit). She now...

Yesss! hey finalllly made it so I can turn off charging/climate notifications on the three other R1Ts we have in our business! Thank you Rivian 🙏🏼 I’d like to think that all my complaining about this finally found its way to the dev team! Though I’ll never know for sure, this is the biggest app...

Do you/could you make a tinted matte PPF wrap for the silver trim pieces on the front and rear bumper of the R1T? Or if not tinted matte PPF (if that even exists), maybe a dark matte gunmetal wrap? I’m planning to finally install my AO blacked out emblems, but also want to black out these...

That’s awesome! Where are you located? Being in VT, I always expect things to take longer than most other places, but at least East Coast should be first (if I recall correctly).

I think a lot of this discrepancy likely boils down to a couple things, primarily: Many R1 vehicles seem to come with bad alignments from factory (3 of 4 trucks we have have needed at least one alignment job within the first 10k miles or less, and with two of them, prematurely wore their tires...

Sweet! Now I’m back to being jealous of all you v2 tonneau owners 😂 I should have held out on having my v1 replaced (it still mostly worked, but wouldn’t open on really hot/sunny days due to thermal expansion). My (second) v1.2 is the smoothest I’ve seen/heard so far, but nothing like the V2...

Have you tried a manual reset? I posted these steps on this thread, and it helped several people whose tonneau covers stopped working after the last firmware upgrade. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/tonneau-cover-won’t-open.41915/

I am definitely interested in going this route with the one I ordered. What I don’t quite understand about these photos: how do you fasten the cap to the Weistec inserts since it looks like the cap is cutout right there? Can you show a photo of it all hooked up?

But how, with the roll-down rear glass? My first thought when I saw that feature at the reveal was “oh no, did they pick this over a rear wiper?” I lived with an Ioniq 5 for a little under a year, and it was really shitty not having a rear wiper on our salty/slushy/muddy/dusty VT roads. I hope...

Actually, I just realized that the off-road package isn’t offered with the dual standard. I’d go with the base 20s. They sound like good tires, will ride better than 22s on any rough surfaces, and you’ll have way more aftermarket tire options down the line. Also, for $650, I’d say go with the...

Also, are you thinking the 20” base wheel/tire, or the off-road package?

I have a G1 quad. The compressor is one of those “oh cool, that’s awesome, that’ll be so handy!” features, but truthfully, I have a Milwaukee inflator that I use more often since it’s lighter and easier than dealing with the hose every time I need a little air in a tire. If you plan to air...

Hey, sorry I didn't see this earlier! I also missed your PM 🙃 Idk if you're still looking, but this may help others (or you), so I figure I'll just post anyways: Gills Point S has mounted and balanced several wheels/tires for us, and seem to do a good job. We initially believed them when they...

Small world indeed! Karl is my father. Was this related to a combined heat/power project? As for how Rivian has been treating, I generally do feel that we have been taken care of, though particularly with our two 2022 R1Ts, I do feel that we’ve had a pretty significant amount of mechanical...

Yes, though I haven’t had to use it personally. It’s three quick button presses followed by a long hold. There was a thread about it recently—the person didn’t tap quickly enough the first time, but it worked for him eventually (and someone else in the thread). He successfully reset his tonneau...

The “??” In the first sentence was supposed to be a waving emoji 🤦🏻‍♂️ I guess it isn’t available on the forums yet? Idk. I saw the rally armor ones, which I considered since I’ve had good luck with their mudflats in the past, but the aero holes were a big source of splatter all over the doors...

Hello fellow Vermonter ?? Thanks! I love the FG/bronze combo, though it is a pretty dark color, and sometimes I wish I had one that better hides all the salt we are pummeled with throughout the winter here. Yeah, the mudflaps dont really do as much as I'd hoped. They do block the air curtain...

My Muddy Forest Green two-tone R1T From yesterday... It poured on Sunday night/into Monday morning, and this was from Tuesday afternoon, so basically a day's worth of mud accumulation here in VT. Mud Season is hitting early this year!
