This is the exact issue I experienced, mud/wash streaks from light offroading. While the dirt washed off the streaks remain.
My R1S is 11 months old. I used 4 wipes for the entire vehicle.
I did notice some light rash in the plastic from light gravel spray back (none in the paint) the cerakote...
I recently was informed by my building management team (property management) I may not park a Rivian above the ground floor in an above ground parking structure due to the excessive weight of EV Trucks (CT, R1, Ford, GM, etc.) This is bound to create confusion when EV charging is on L2+.
It...
Used Cerakote last night, looks great. No major streaks/waves.
Left one area on front unsealed to monitor for a few days and compare.
Highly recommend.
I am only 8k in on my Pirellis, but excited to see all of these new tire options.
Just rotated at 7500, I doubt I make it to 30k though, lucky if I get to mid 20s. I never use conserve, but I am a bit heavy off the line.
Btw 22 darks look slick, I have the brights.
Oddly enough we went (in R1S) 2 months ago, and it was VERY busy so much so they wouldn't allow cars up to the eastern trailheads past 8am.
We live in central San Jose and went without charging, 95% on departure.
There is a EA and TSC in Gilroy. (I read a thread here that the Gilroy RAN has...
I picked these up last Black Friday on Hanshow for $390. (couldn't justify 1000+ for something I might not want long term).
Waited until today to install so I could enjoy my R1S for 1 year off roading etc.
As some mentioned the "boss": mine is 5'-0" really wanted them, so now they are on. I...
1/2 is still in the mail (prime)
3/8 arrived today and I was getting anxious.
3/8 TP55 was the golden ticket. Still used a 1 foot lead pipe (ok ok steel pipe) as a breaker bar, but got those 6 out (and back in).
Finished the job in about an hour.
I can confirm regular T55 causes stripping.
Ordered the TP55 3/8 and will try again tomorrow.
I also got very confused in my brain about which way to turn :) so think twice.
I think this is fabulous. It might not be for everyone but it is absolutely for me!
One inquiry with all the fear around the data plans. Why not pop a mobile phone and click hotspot (if your plan supports it) and have Rivian join the WiFi network. Presumably the car will use wifi before LTE...
