    Interior cooling question.

    When you get ready to leave the car, turn off the HVAC. For me that prevents it from coming on. But to be fair, I haven't seen that notice on cooling for the displays.

    R1T vs. Ram TRX

    This road trip tool me from Chicago to SC and I can attest that the charging infrastructure sucks heading out to the coast. I was shocked it was so bad. I expected to at least have an EA station in Myrtle Beach. But It was possible, but it did require some advance planning. Day to day though if...

    R1T vs. Ram TRX

    Haha they are BOTH worth it. At some point I will finish the YouTube video I am working on comparing them both.

    R1T vs. Ram TRX

    Just saw that you are an early pre-order.... that complicates it. For the 70k you will pay, the R1T is a GREAT deal, and you get the $7500 credit from last year. At that price, you can't lose to try it! You will be able to walk away from it and get all your money back.

    R1T vs. Ram TRX

    I have both. :) The TRX is a beast and honestly I enjoy flooring the TRX more than the R1T. The R1T doesn't put down its power smoothly. Had a Model X Plaid as well, and it lays down the immense power sooo smoothly. The Rivian R1T is just not smooth, it feels like a calibration thing. The TRX...

    Should I add Underbody Shield to my configuration?

    Oh I don't disagree that there will be a market for it at all. Especially now since it's bundled into the off-road package, it's kinda freebie. But I think we are a far while away from these being sought after for off road or overland builds. I am curious to see how the resale shakes out for...

    Should I add Underbody Shield to my configuration?

    I personally skipped it this time, but now that it's part of the off road package it's reasonable. The stock pack is pretty well protected, and unless you legitmatively rock crawl and will slide on your battery (still not recommended). You will be fine without it. And if you do puncture your...

    Xpel PPF Stained after driving on snowy roads

    I agree with you 100%! I now only PPF my truly high end cars, and I do my own ceramic coating. After a little oil cost me $650 to replace a panel, I woke up.

    Xpel PPF Stained after driving on snowy roads

    This is the not talked about weakness of PPF, it does stain and don't get anything like oil or grease on it for sure. I had a drop of oil from a train drop on my PPF and it embedded right in it. Had to change fhe entire panel. Also, saw similar stains from driving with winter chemicals on...

    Full-Size Spare Tire listed in Rivian Gear Shop!

    I took my truck into service this week and the service manager said the supplier of the jack kit went out of business. And that's that delay on the spare tire kit.... take it with a grain of salt

    Angry RAM TRX drivers last night

    They both have their place. The R1T is nice, and I like it as a daily driver. Its fast to 60, and its a great size for zipping around town. Its easy to park, and well made. It has the EV torque, but to be honest if you have had other powerful EV's its not mind blowing. If its your first EV then...

    R1S vs BMW iX vs Mercedes EQS

    I would say take another look at the New Tesla Model X. I had a 2020 and then went to the refreshed and wasn't expecting much of a difference. I made the jump in the craY resale pricing days. But It was like a redesigned car. So much quieter and nicer driving and tight. My 2020 Model X never...

    DIY temporary tonneau / bed cover?

    Looks awesome @Phatman113 can you link to the weather stripping that you are using at the front and rear of the bed. I am going to attempt this as well. I really need covered storage....

    Rivian Trade-In

    Well I went through the same thing with my Model Y, I was thinking about trading in to Rivian. It was a blood bath, so I just decided to keep the Y. This first year depreciation you are taking is going to mean your value is going to be the same now vs a few months from now. So ask yourself if...

    A lot of R1Ts just appeared in the shop, including some Launch Green.

    This is an awesome deal for the Post March Folks. I am bummed I didn't wait a couple weeks. I just got mine. Are there any 20 AT wheel LE options for Post March folks? Curious what that pricing is.

    Off-Road Package and Tire Decisions - HELP

    I would go for it! It's a good bundle and cheap way to get both the RUS and the spare if they even remotely interest you. As the wheels alone used to cost 2500 to upgrade, $2000 for the RUS, and $800 for the spare. I wouldn't get an entire second set of wheels and tires as unless you do that...

    My Rivian completely dead from ~40% vampire drain after a month long vacation

    Well he may just have a few cars and strongly prefer one. That's my case. I go months sometimes not driving cars. In my TRX now for a road trip and it was idle for a few months. My R1T is the new daily, so the other cars become special or specific use. Other scenario is a second home and...

    20 inch AT wheels only selectable with all-terrain upgrade

    That's actually not a bad price. Do it! I was a post march order. My 20s cost $2500 alone. and this is is much cheaper to get the under body shield and the spare tire all for $3850! So basically $1350 gets you $2000 underbody shield and $800 spare tire.

    20 inch AT wheels only selectable with all-terrain upgrade

    Can you post a screen grab of this package. I didn't see it when I configured mine. How much does it cost all in? I ended up with a shop truck, but curious how the packages are working.
