I had one of these on my old Chevy truck. Actually, I had two of them. The first one got mangled when I was rear ended by some ? in an F150 who was texting & driving and hit me at a stop light. But it absorbed all the damage and protected my vehicle. Given we've all seen the threads about...
I had one of these for my old Chevy and liked it a lot (looks and protection). Ordered one when I saw they were available for Rivian. First one arrived damaged (FedEx folded it in half during transport, thanks FedEx ?). After a few emails to customer service they sent me a replacement...
To preface, my community has a big problem with trash everywhere. Someone suggested a speaker for community trash pickup day. Rivian to the rescue! We just tossed it in the cart and carried it along with us so we had tunes while we picked up trash. ?
Not sure if this has been posted before. Just sharing for the RJ reference:
"CEOs at fellow EV startups aren’t making anywhere near Rawlinson’s total compensation, either. Rivian Automotive CEO Robert Scaringe earned roughly $1 million in 2022, even though his company is now worth over $22...
Saw this truckload of Fisker Ocean's heading westbound on 66 just outside the DC beltway today. In hindsight I should've followed to see where they were going. Is it okay to post these pics, or are we only posting pictures of Cybertrucks? ?
Dumb question. I was in Ocean City, MD, a couple months ago and ran into a family driving a Lightning. They said how much they loved it, and we got to talking about the charging situation in OC (which is notoriously bad. We took the wife's ICE car this year). They said they'd had better luck...
Was clicking on some old links and came across this photo from 2018. Never realized this was a thing. Shame it didn't make it into production. Maybe someday, LOL. ?

Finally painted my key fob. Did a lousy job but it's still night-and-day improvement over stock. Don't know why no one at Rivian has thought to do this already. ??
Also picked up one of these little protectors. Seems a good idea since the fob usually bangs around in my pocket along with flash...
...and bolts. And screws. ?
Only mentioning it because I noticed these were loose on mine today:
(behind rear passenger side wheel)
VIN 19xxx R1T, 2,500 miles, no significant major issues but have had to slide around underneath it and tighten things a few times. ?

Noticed my truck wasn't shutting off this morning. I'd gotten a bit of drain overnight and could see through the window that the screens were staying on after I locked it with the fob or app. Thanks to the many threads on this subject already, I immediately zeroed in on the seatbelts...
Installed the latest update last night. Hooray, Alexa seems to be able to play Pandora again, and is understanding me when I say "Alexa, navigate home", so two out of three gripes fixed. But the radio station is still showing the Morse code logo instead of the station logo (even after doing...
While I wait for my guide to respond, figured I'd ask here. When we installed the Rivian wall charger in our garage our electrician didn't have a 60A breaker on his truck so we used a 50A breaker and set the dip switches accordingly.
We have since replaced that with the correct 60A breaker...
I witnessed an incident yesterday while driving and said "Alexa, call Prince William County Police"
Alexa: I'm sorry, I can't find that number in your contacts
Me: Alexa, call the police
Alexa: I'm sorry, I can't find that number in your contacts
I feel like Google would have at least tried...
Dumb question. Been driving my truck for a little over two weeks now. The built-in nav is pretty lackluster compared to Android Auto, but one thing I noticed today is that it never talks to me. Alexa is set up and if I say "Alexa, navigate to work" it takes me there without complaint. But it has...
In one of the (thankfully) few issues I've discovered with my R1T, the tailgate cables are out of adjustment. The passenger side cable is taut but the driver's side just flops around. Video:
It looks like the top end of the cable disappears behind the plastic insert in the bed. Is this...
My state (Virginia) requires annual safety inspections. I'm wondering if any other residents of Northern Virginia area happen to be on here and have a recommended inspector? I have a shop I trust for my work trucks, but am unsure about taking something this new to one of them. Rivian guide...
Picked up my R1T this past Friday. So far figuring out the UI pretty easily. One dumb question - how do you set up Gear Guard? I'd like it to do the basics like record people drooling on my new truck. ?
Manual says "to enable recording, choose Vehicle from the menu and turn on Gear Guard...
Picked my R1T up today, 3/31 at the Richmond VA service center, just squeezing it in for the Q1 push. Person doing my pickup spent probably two hours with me, and said they had three more today after mine. So a solid day's work just helping people with their new trucks (sounds like a dream...
I know this is a hypothetical question, but the "reinforced underbody shield" vs the regular underbody protection (just plastic, right?). Any guesses as to which is more likely to trap water and rust out in the long term? Any thoughts on long-term rust for shield or frame?
Have seen too many...
