Sojhinn, thanks a ton for the video, super helpful.
Since I only want to do this once, I want to get the best subwoofer that will fit - any idea what the top mount depth limit is?
I chose Rivian because the R1S starts where most of its competitors stop: with real off-road capability.
That, to me, is the whole point of the vehicle. It’s not just a three-row EV. There are other three-row EVs now, and more are coming. The Kia EV9, Hyundai Ioniq 9, Mercedes EQS SUV, and...
This might be a little late, but I’ve confirmed that the Centennial location is not just open for business, but has been for about 3 months according to the service advisor I spoke to there. Since my office is less than a mile away from it, I decided to stop over. It looked fully operational...
Grew up in Buffalo, live in CO now; don't miss it for a sec (well, the pizza and wings, Ted's, and Birch Beer I do).
But, due to the brutal winters, Buffalo endowed me with superpowers most mere mortals lack:
Years of standing at the school bus stop during conditions that any other location...
You guys are the best for doing that. Seriously, that was a lot of time and energy to help someone out.
Not going to lie, but I seriously would have considered yanking one of those ICE vehicles right out of a spot with the off-road gear that lives under my trunk. Not saying I would have went...
I was ready to say this before I found your post.
I had the '15 JC EcoDiesel and had to replace the battery at year 8. Like you said, seat goes all the way forward and battery goes right in. No biggie. You could argue it's easier than doing one under the hood since it's never been exposed...
I'm normally not a guy that cares about gimmicks and such, but I have to say, I love all the sounds my R1S makes. The owl and crow are very cool and would love it if Rivian continues to give owners ways to personalize their vehicles.
Beyond that though, this is just good marketing. The...
Yeah, that's a big one. I got done with my first camping trip in the R1S and overall, it was fantastic. It's obvious that Rivian is likely the first company to really focus on the "car camping" experience.
That said, I found myself with the same frustrations you experienced - once I'm in...
Read the poll question and just had to laugh.
Poll:
"Should employers offer 180 days of annual leave/vacation?"
"Should Popeyes offer customer service with their fried chicken?"
"Should people keep their shoes and socks on when they're on a public airplane?"
"Should I wear pants when my...
Very excited for you! You're going to love your Rivian, especially coming from a Mach-E...(kidding/not kidding).
I can relate to the emotional roller-coaster. While I live comfortably, I balked at the price hike in the middle of my reservation and all but decided to cancel my long held...
These rendering are so sick. As if I wasn't salivating over the R3X enough...
Okay, now you should do some non-Rivian colors if possible. Since the R3X gives me strong early VW Golf/Delta Integrale vibes, I'd love to see some period correct colors to really push it into that last 70s/early...
This is a long post. You've been warned.
TLDR version - I you want floor liners, you want TuxMats. They're so good they pretty much make every other competitor obsolete.

Hey all,
Just wanted to give a shout out to TuxMats...
Ugh, so jealous.
I'm just starting the planning stages for doing some audio mods to the R1S. The stock system is...adequate. If you don't mind me asking, what are we talking in terms of price? How much was the gear? How much was the labor?
You said that the truck is quieter - is it a...
Thanks for the compliments, guys! I just took them off because the 18" of snow I got on Thursday is all but gone, so back the 21"s go (side note: CO sun is the best!).
Nothing approaching the limits yet. I wouldn't be surprised if they made contact, even if aired down in full articulation...
TLDR Version - These are loud, heavy tires. There is a noticeable efficiency hit. They do not rub at normal height at any speed or any situation. Despite the negatives, I'd buy them again. The wheels are fantastic. They look great, are plenty light, and affordable to boot.
As a person...
