  1. Rear suspension damage

    I did not disconnect the line. You'll need to get it out of the foam to see the filler plug. Foam is just friction fit into the housing. I wedged the pump between the tire and wheel well and bumper trim to get access to the fill hole. Made a filling tube with funnel and parts from a brake...
  2. Rear suspension damage

    I'll have to dig up a picture I took of it. But no further disassembly is needed once you get it out of the foam shell. The reservoir tank is the round plastic tank on top with a small hex plug,you remove the plug and fill it with a tiny funnel and a piece of tubing. It's a slow process as the...
  3. R2 Standard Interior loses: ventilated seats, rear heated seats, torch flashlight

    It's all about the small medium large sales tactic to make you purchase the highest trim level as it looks like a bargain compared to the lowest trim level.
  4. R2 Jack Point Design - Potential Issues / Challenges

    I'm with you on this it's not about business, If you were purely thinking from your business point of view like Rivian is you'd be ecstatic about a new propriety jacking point as it would mean more adapters to sell instead of people reusing their existing R1 adapters.
  5. R1S / R1T Outdoor Car Cover now in Rivian Gear Shop (May 2026)

    If I were to buy a car cover it would be one like this, they'll custom make one probably cheaper than what Rivian is charging too.
  6. USB Connection from Phone to Infotainment System

    Not going to make a difference but I signed it. No money in it for Rivian so no priority for this.
  7. R2 audio system is being tuned with "amazing results" per Wassym

    I'll believe it when I hear it, their track record for sound quality isn't great, this is the same group of engineers who thought out of phase speakers sounded good for a few years. R2 being cheaper probably means they cheaped out on the speakers and amps to get to a lower price point...
  8. R2 Jack Point Design - Potential Issues / Challenges

    Yet another reason why I won't be returning to Rivian once I'm done with the T, this company is just so hostile to 3rd party / DIY things. Just doesn't fit with how I do things, next thing you'll find is some crazy pentalobe screws everywhere.
  9. Media Sounds - Bluetooth

    I'm assuming you are using built in Spotify App through connect+ so may not be same as mine. Streaming from my Samsung Galaxy it just lowers the music volume during the chime but song keeps playing.
  10. Rivian Assistant Makes Siri Look Overqualified

    You're not alone, I'm in the tech industry and still have no desire to have a conversation with my car.
  11. Cape Cod sand dunes on 22"s

    Has anyone done the cape cod sand dunes on 22s? Thinking of doing it this summer and was interested in some tips like what PSI and ideal time of year to go and anything else that would be helpful. Or should I just invest in some 20 inch Ram wheels and off road tires?
  12. Rivian Cross Bars vs Aftermarket

    But the aftermarket ones don't have little wings that make it look like a spoiler so you can drive around with them on all the time.
  13. Compact Spare Tire for R2 priced at $755

    It's a ready made solution for premium priced vehicle for those who don't want to be bothered. Every Rivian branded accessory or part is priced like a premium product so nothing shocking here. You could always go find your own aftermarket one that fits or just live without one.
  14. Audio splitter deep in infotainment?

    Well I'm done here. Majority of people will not be able to tell the difference between Bluetooth or hardwired especially since the rest of the system can't reproduce the frequencies that are getting compressed but you do you and carry on with your quest.
  15. Audio splitter deep in infotainment?

    I'm confused here, if your intent is to use the iPad for everything, why wouldn't you just connect audio with Bluetooth and call it a day. Doesn't make sense to lose the steering wheel controls for volume and track changes. Most of the Rivian infotainment features work fine without connect+
  16. Need confirmation of 3rd party internet connectivity

    Move on, Rivian does put some capabilities behind a paywall while some things do work with Wi-Fi. Most new capabilities are going behind the paywall, C+ is not expensive and if you find yourself using the data enabled parts often it is worth it. I personally do not use all those things...
  17. Sensors failing

    are the sensors clean? I think there were some that had water intrusion into the sensor connectors but if still in warranty then let Rivian deal with it.
  18. Winter Range Effects in Midwest

    Yes efficiency drops off quite significantly in the winter shorter trips are the ones that take the biggest hit, but a lot of variables will be at play here. Are you parking in a garage? charging overnight? Charging at work? How hot do you like the cabin? If you start off with a warm battery...
  19. Jacking with underside panels removed-jack pads required?

    As others have pointed out you'll still want a set of pucks. I always pre attach magnetic ones every time I go for a state inspection or tire service just so there is no confusion on jack points.
  20. Jacking with underside panels removed-jack pads required?

    Yes you will need jack pucks but tricky to get jack stands under there. There is a thread on here that discusses how you can lift from opposing corners to get jack stands under the others.
