Thought I’d share a few photos of MGM’s tricked out mobile rig from the AWS conference in Vegas. Note the accessory activation panel up front, left of the driver’s dash to control accessory lighting. The cloud-based production rig accessible where the right rear window used to be. Up top there...

Well it finally happened. After 3 years of ownership I finally got a door ding while parked at a trail head in the PNW. Gary recorded it, but I doubt I'd ever be able to get a a claim and have the rightful perpetrator pay for it. It's time to get those running boards as a ding stopper. So for...

Most of you won’t care past the one minute mark, but surfacing an interesting flex of Rivian product placement in the conference keynote. Disclaimer: I’m connected to AWS and my teams may have launched a new product completely unrelated to Rivian.

My OEM front plate holder and the actual plate fell off. After 2 and a half years, the riveted holder supplied by the SC is gone. No gear guard recordings. I’m kinda glad it’s gone. It was cheap and flimsy. I’m going to replace it with a better third party solution (state law requires it so yes...

So the hotspot setup says “Unavailable due to no or limited connectivity”. Yet the LTE shows a full signal. I can’t toggle to off/on and try again (disabled). Maybe a reset will fix it? I’m in a ferry line so can’t do that just yet

With a 4 day weekend and sunny skies ahead, we decided to make a trek from Seattle (BI actually) to Glacier National Park in Montana. Approximately 551 miles. Overall a great experience and I’d highly recommend. Charging There are a couple of stretches where it’s a charging desert through...

I’m trying to use the needle in the accessory kit but it leaks between the needle and Schrader fill valve. The owners manual doesn’t have much to say on usage. It shows an image of each accessory with the fill valve being threaded. Mine is not. I’m curious how others are having success with this.

This is a speculative thread on being prepared for potential breakdowns while on a packed ferry boat. I commute several days a week via a crowded vehicle ferry. The cars are squeezed in as tight as possible with no room to go around if there’s a breakdown. As you might expect traditional ICE...

I’m selling my 21 spare wheel and tire that I had purchased for my R1S. Now that I have the compact spare, I’m parting ways with it. Works for R1T/R1S owners in need of a full size spare and jack. I bought it used locally from someone that had switched to different wheels for their R1T. I’ve...

I’ve seen some videos of the spare re-compacting when letting out the air, but I don’t see any guidance on this in the owners manual. So I’m wondering: 1. Does it fully compress back to its previous new unused size? 2. Does inflating and de-inflating xx cycles add structural integrity risk to...

After finally getting a compact spare for my R1S, I started reading the instructions and found this in the owners manual: Page 258: "Install the compact spare on the vehicle before you inflate it" I'm trying to understand the rationale. Why not inflate it before you put it on?

Every time I turn on HVAC with auto control, the defrost and floor vents are active. If I disable those vents, turn off HVAC and then turn it back on, the defrost and floor vents are active again. Any speculation on why it’s always activated regardless of need? The additional airflow increases...

After waiting over a year for Rivian to sell a compact spare for my R1S I’ve given up. I’m Looking for an 20” wheel and tire to use as a spare.

I want to add a full size spare for my R1S since Rivian can’t seem to provide any expectation on delivering a compact spare. Any wheel is fine. It will live vertically, strapped into the sub-cargo area on long-haul trips.

This has probably been asked a thousand times, but wondering what the latest consensus is: I’ll be traveling for a few weeks and my R1S will remain in my garage. Should I: a) Charge it up and leave it unplugged and let vampire drain happen? b) Leave it tethered to the charger and set the limit...

Will anyone miss it?

Eight days left on the self-imposed deadline. Think they’ll make it?

When did this become a thing? My early VIN R1S is body color.

Just ordered this as an experiment. I’ll report back on fit and quality. https://www.weathertech.com/rivian/2022/r1s/cargo-liner/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=sfmc&utm_campaign=Retail_Product+Availabilty_Rivian_R1S_2022_CL_07032023&utm_term=20230703_53310

I had my charger on a 30 amp circuit and charging was limited to 26 amps. I’ve now upgraded to a 60 amp circuit and set all the dip switches to “on”. I’m still only getting 26 amps. Was expecting 48 amps. Do I need to reset the charger somehow so it doesn’t remember the previous setting? Or...
