  1. Where to source replacement Torx bolts?

    You can also try autobody supply stores. They deal with broken and missing bolts all the time. You might even find a local store that can order in what you need if you can't find it anywhere else.
  2. Wall charger vs. 14-50 plug in.

    Just a thought.... A big reason I purchased a Rivian was the big battery they use. I got tired of losing power at home and I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on batteries that don't do anything but be batteries. Considering that this summer we've had power failures on successive days...
  3. How serious is this tire damage?

    That video of the SUV blowing a tire is a great reminder of how a sudden blowout can cause you to lose control at high speeds. If you recall, Ford Exploders (Explorers) were having blowouts from not keeping their tires properly inflated; the exploders were rolling over killing people so the...
  4. Rivian Black Crossbars installed on R1T (El Cap) -- Photos on roof and bed

    Have you sold your silver crossbars? I'll be in Portland this Friday, and I'm interested if they are still available and the price is right.
  5. Incoming Product Alert: Bed Slider for R1T by Thunderbolt Adventure

    So the slides aren't attached to the bed, so I can simply lift them out if I need to haul a load of gravel? How much do they weigh? As for accessing the spare, I assume the slides add some weight on top of the hatch cover; can you demonstrate how difficult it is to access the spare with the...
  6. Test Drive Of A 2022 R1T Launch

    Rock chips are easy to deal with. Look for Dr Color Chip's kits for paint repair. Their kits are easy to use, if you can follow directions, and the repairs are nearly undetectable. Your paint is no match for a rock hitting your vehicle when you are going 70 mph, chips are going to happen...
  7. R1S: What inexpensive spare tire options do we have?

    I've had gashes in a tire from road debris that a patch kit wouldn't fix. I've broken a valve stem when the wheel got to close to the curb, no patch kit will fix that. I've had a tire get a nail in the sidewall; the sidewall flexed too much for the plug to hold pressure. Soooo, you won't...
  8. R1T Max Pack powering my house, thanks Hurricane Helene

    Yeah I heat cool water to make it hot. I don't need a "hot water heater" because the water is already hot?
  9. Steering wheel shake intermittent

    I swore off Discount Tire years ago. They did an alignment and tore the dust boots on the steering rack. While changing the boots, they let the brake calipers hang from the brake lines...a big no no. They cross threaded two lug nuts. Then it was a big fight to get them to fix the damage they...
  10. R1T Max Pack powering my house, thanks Hurricane Helene

    I've always wondered why people need a heater for hot water????:rolleyes: Good luck to you. A big reason I went electric is for similar situations. You aren't dependent on anyone else to keep your family safe!
  11. First problem with my R1S, and it's a big one. Bolt backed out

    I'm not sure if you had an alignment done that those marks are going to line up. The tie-rod is threaded so you can adjust the alignment by turning it in or out on the threaded shaft, I haven't tried, but if you turn the tie-rod end 1/2 or 1/4 of a turn, I'm thinking the nut won't tighten up...
  12. DIY darkout package

    I believe that those pieces are painted. Probably the best approach would be to remove them and either paint them, or have a body shop paint them with the desired blackout paint. They can adjust the gloss to whatever you want. If you paint them, an automotive paint store should be able to...
  13. System reboot at freeway speed (no disaster)

    Ah the joys of technology! If I were you, I'd give the service center a call and see if they can look at/download error logs for your vehicle. If it keeps happening, the more logging and details they have, the easier it will be for them to fix your issue. If you have a ECU going bad or an...
  14. 2 weeks on the road; 6 weeks in the shop

    So I thought most lemon laws required multiple attempts at the same repair and or multiple problems in a short period of time? In this case it sounds like the AC compressor ate itself for lunch and then spread the lunch throughout the rest of the AC system; one problem that caused multiple...
  15. It's Finally Time To Put A 3D Printer In Your Garage

    You can go here: https://greatdealsnv.com to find some really good deals on open box 3D printers. I've purchased two Elegoo printers from them and had good success with the printers. I think both printers were right around $100 so not a significant investment compared to your R1T or R1S. As...
  16. Used pre-owned Rivians now available in online shop (open to CA and IL to start)

    If you click on the link at the bottom of a listing, "Go To Rivian Shop" you will find that there aren't any listings that match the Rivian Roamer listing. I have selected the "pre-roamed" listings to filter the list and all that I looked at are under the pre-roamed filter. Maybe some real...
  17. Used pre-owned Rivians now available in online shop (open to CA and IL to start)

    Most of the vehicles I checked on Rivian Roamer seem to be old demo vehicles that Rivian had listed on their demo site, and aren't available anymore.
