  1. Rollup "Powered Tonneau Cover V2" available option on some 2025 models now

    Don't own one, but I played around with the one installed on the California Dune edition truck at the local show room. It is soooo much smoother and quieter...my first question was "when can I buy it for my truck." It's an unofficial answer, but the guy working the showroom said that they will...
  2. Reminder: Rivian Promised Level 3 "Eyes Off the Road" Autonomy on Gen 1

    I think avoiding this sort of expectation is exactly why they didn't charge you for it up front. Tesla HAD TO deliver these upgrades (at great cost) because when I purchased my Model 3 (in Jan 2018) there was an explicit line-item for "full self driving" for which I paid thousands of dollars...
  3. Differences between Rivian RTT roof top tent and Yakima HD3?

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but wondering if @RedCanyon could provide a closer photo specifically of the mounting points/clamps of that tent? Best I can tell, it's got to be the only difference from a regular SkyRise.
  4. Poor build quality for Gen2 R1S vs Gen1 & subsequent buyer's remorse

    Wait.. you got front wheels OFF THE GROUND in your gen 1?! That is the coolest thing I've ever heard if so. lol
  5. Poor build quality for Gen2 R1S vs Gen1 & subsequent buyer's remorse

    This depends on where you live. I almost never get loaners any more..just uber credits.
  6. My R1T @ Imogen Pass today! Rivians everywhere - and a weird event with doors

    There must have just been a bad run on the 12v batteries at some point. I'm at 54k miles and also original 12v. Literally everything else has been replaced, but the 12v is going strong! ?
  7. Launch edition is a lot more different than I expected.

    Regarding the "cooled seats", they aren't . R1 vehicles (gen 1 at least) are ventilated only, not cooled. The temperature you're experiencing is purely a result of the ambient temperature in the vehicle. Perhaps they're moving less air than they used to because the seats themselves are simply...
  8. Launch edition is a lot more different than I expected.

    FWIW, Wheel shake due to any tires is NOT normal. If you have it, I would take it to your local tire shop, or Rivian, and insist that they balance them at a higher speed. My truck with 20" A/T had some shake above 75 mph when I first got it, and I made them rebalance the tires twice before they...
  9. Out of Spec's Rivian Route Planning Woes

    My truck certainly never routes to Tesla chargers appropriately. I've even set the Tesla charger as my destination and the truck will try to make me stop and charge at another charger that is only blocks away. I don't have enough RAN charging along my route for that too be a factor, and I...
  10. Yakima Tent for R1T Bed - whatever happened to it?

    How is/was it anything more than that? I have the Yakima Skyrise 3..and I've been parked next to someone with the Rivian branded tent. I've not noticed any difference in construction. What am I missing?
  11. If Rivian had a trade-in incentive program... trade Gen 1 for Gen 2?

    TL;DR - After considering gen 2, I JUST purchased a new gen 1. I really considered it, but find myself in the same boat regarding the pricing. The only thing I've always really wanted to change about mine is that I love Ocean Coast interior, and I have Black Mountain. Add to this the fact that...
  12. Is CANADA a strategic market for Rivian or a place to dump unsold trucks ?

    These are tiny numbers that I'd say you are reading too much into. Believe me, I wish there was more US allocation of 2023 and 24 models. I've been trying like hell to get my hands on a 2024 Quad pickup here in the US, and every time a batch of them land in the store (3-5 typically land weekly...
  13. Considering replacing 2023 Launch Edition r1t with 2025 r1t standard pack - Am I crazy?

    All depends on your use case, but I'm going with "yes" :). I'm trying to replace my 2022 Adventure with a 2023 or 2024 Adventure. I want to "upgrade" (aka - still have a fully warrantied R1T), but I don't want to surrender the quad motor! Happy shopping!
  14. Atomic Wheels range tests on AT and Road tires

    I'm about to switch from factory 20" A/Ts to factory 21s, but now I'm wondering if I should just buy those Michelin Defenders and try them on the stock wheel!
  15. Rattling front left suspension - Anyone else?

    The suspension on these trucks is noisy for sure. It's hard to say if yours is the same without actually hearing it in person, but mine has been noisy since the day I got it (w/ 10 miles on it). I think the weight of the vehicle and the overly complex suspension design work together to cause it...
  16. In search of the best hitch-mount bike rack for R1S

    +100 for the 1UP racks. I've been through a variety the last 5 years or so, and the day I got this thing I got rid of all my other racks. Also, FWIW I've been running this on my R1T for the last 2 years (and thousands of miles of road tripping with the bikes), it doesn't require a hitch...
  17. Poll: How many service center visits did your R1 require in the first year of ownership?

    Whew.. sadly I'm an outlier. I voted for the highest option, but here are my total stats. For the record, I love this truck and I'd buy it again, but I won't own it for a single day beyond the bumper-to-bumper warranty. This probably deserves it's own write-up, but here we go. 20 months of...
  18. Well that sucks! Rivian insurance doubles in 1 year

    I'm just beyond my third renewal with State farm. I'd have to go back and look at billing statements to see if there's been any increase at all, but I'm still at $1280/year either way.
