  1. Rivian Assistant is here!! (Update: not quite yet) (Update 2: it's here!!)

    Agreed. I tried toggling back and forth, but every time one turns off the Rivian Assistant, when one turns it back on, it requires going through the whole string of permissions again.
  2. Cybertruck Laugh of the Day [⚠️ WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS BANNED]

    I have just learned that someone has written a pro-Cybertruck children's book and I think I might either break down in tears or explode with laughter! "The Ugly Truckling: The Story of My Cybertruck by Diego Martínez" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/203127650-the-ugly-truckling
  3. ? COMPASS YELLOW R1S Photos

    I was parked in front of my local tavern while I enjoyed an adult beverage (my wife is my designated--no worries) and the owner, who knows my vehicle well, rushed over to me to point out that there were two fine specimens in front of his establishment! He even went around the customers until he...
  4. I have questions if any one has answers (potential R1T buyer)

    All good questions! 1) I have no regrets about buying my R1T and expect to buy more Rivians in the future. 2) It's just two adults, a dog, and two cats in my household. But the back seats are downright luxurious. I don't see a problem with stuffing a large family in. 3) OMG! So much luggage...
  5. Turning off My Wall Charger

    I agree with the responses saying there's something wrong here. An average draw of 250W when the vehicle isn't plugged in means something is getting mighty hot! I see only three options: either the measurement was done incorrectly (I've slipped a decimal place or two more than once!), there is...
  6. Any thoughts on an e-scooter to complement an R1T?

    It looks awesome! And it definitely serves the purpose of living in the gear tunnel until needed for a short hop. I'm absolutely terrified of it, however! But I really should test-drive one before rejecting the idea--maybe the stabilization is sufficient to overcome my dread. While I can't quite...
  7. Any thoughts on an e-scooter to complement an R1T?

    So much safer than a scooter! Great suggestion!🤩
  8. Any thoughts on an e-scooter to complement an R1T?

    That is precisely my situation as well. If I'm charging the truck, it is likely behind a gas station. Many times, I have seen a nice-looking cafe that would certainly be "walking distance" from the charger, but I've settled for a microwave burrito or roller-grill hot dog because I don't want to...
  9. Any thoughts on an e-scooter to complement an R1T?

    I accept both blame and credit, but not responsibility--your concussion/fracture/sprain, your problem! 😜 But that thing sure does look like fun! The newly-announced Rivian-adjacent e-bike definitely looks nice, as well. But it's too big. I think they missed an opportunity. A scooter-sized item...
  10. Any thoughts on an e-scooter to complement an R1T?

    Yeah, that's a consideration! I think I've already paid for two college educations for the kids of orthopods. Since my goal is short-distance travel in non-urban locations, I think I'm out of the highest-risk category. But you are certainly correct that the risk remains high. (I was a bike...
  11. Any thoughts on an e-scooter to complement an R1T?

    I'm shopping for an electric scooter to carry in my R1T's gear tunnel. It seems like this would be a good complement to the vehicle. E.g., I often find that when I'm charging while on a road trip, getting to a restaurant or shop that I'd like is more of a schlep than I'm up for. Hopping onto a...
  12. Do I have a serious problem? - knocking sound when turning

    There's loads of threads about this on this forum. Do a search for "halfshaft" on the forum and you'll get more info than you can conveniently handle! The punchline: make an appointment with your service center. If you're still under warranty, they'll replace the halfshafts pretty much without...
  13. Conversation with my neighbor... Are Rivian's really for rich people?

    There are numerous studies in which people are asked whether they self-identify as "rich." Until net worth gets to truly nosebleed levels, pretty uniformly the answer is "no." Very few people self-identify as "rich." So look at the numbers: out-the-door, a current Rivian is going to cost $100k...
  14. Desktop Pen Holder - Rivian Brake Caliper (3D Print)

    Rivian--they're _quick_ to respond when someone who isn't them puts their logo on stuff. Like really quick.
  15. R1S prominently featured in “All Her Fault” Peacock miniseries trailer

    Pure guess on my part: strobing. LEDs flicker very quickly. Unlike incandescent or fluorescent lights, LEDs don't continue to glow beyond nanoseconds after current drops. While LEDs are DC, they are still often powered by a current that alternates in amplitude, just not in sign. I've often...
  16. Front tow hooks rusting

    Well done! :like: Those look like exactly the ones I got--at least close enough. The color doesn't quite match the paint of the Compass Yellow, but after a couple of weeks in sunlight they wouldn't match even if they started out doing so.
  17. Front tow hooks rusting

    I snapped in a pair of yellow silicone covers (my R1T is Compass Yellow) literally the day I got the truck. I can't remember what I paid, but they were about ten bucks and I think I got them on Amazon. Can post a photo and will track down order info if that would be useful, but they're readily...
