    R1S Glass Roof Tint - Heat Rejection - Wrap outside of glass?

    I did 50% tint on windshield and limo tint ( 15%) on glass roof. Problem solved. I used the highest end Llumar IRX IR blocking nano-ceramic tint. It’s all about the quality of the tint. They are not all the same and have different heat rejecting / IR and UV protection ratings. And of course, the...

    Throttle Pedal Recall & California Tire Mandate? Rivian very aggressive to get it done!

    They are also replacing the “ Fix a flat, tire goo” that comes with the Rivian’s. Apparently they expire and Rivian is obligated to replace them.

    EV Carpool Stickers arrived sooner than anticipated - Good till 9/30/2025

    I didn’t buy the Twraps overpriced kit. I’m a sign guy by trade so I already had vinyl and did it myself. You can buy a small roll of vinyl on line and had trim yourself.

    Installed on R1T: Tinted ROOF glass and CLEAR FRONT windshield HEAT and UV blocker film and window tint!!

    I tinted my driver and passenger windows to match the rears, tinted the roof with Limo tint, and did the windshield with 50% tint. All Lumar IRX tint which is their highest grade, IR blocking tint they sell. They do a ton of Teslas too with no issues doing the roof. It cut down the heat, big...

    Service center crashed my R1T

    The wind noise is horrible. I had them replace the rubber seal around the drivers window since it had a defect and the window was pinching the seal when it tried to seal. So, they replaced the window seal, the window closes perfectly now, but even louder wind noise. At 45 - 50 mph it starts...

    Update 2022.27.02 Released - Automatic Ride Height, Direct Current Fast Charging & More

    I did the update over the weekend and the air vents are better, so far. One thing I notice though, whenever I do an update, when I go to work the next day for free level 2 charging, my truck does not like charging. It'll click on and off all day and I'll barely get 20 miles of charge over 4 -...

    Rivian Transitioning to Railway Train Transport For Deliveries

    Congrats man, I opted to pick up my R1T from the Costa Mesa location since I only live 5 miles away. I wanted to meet and greet everyone at the Rivian Facility and really didn't want anyone else driving my truck as much as possible, since I live so close. 3/31/2022 Delivery, Vin # 3666. I've...

    20 degrees cooler inside (roof / windshield tint/film)

    It's all about the quality of the material / tint. I can do the lower quality tint for much cheaper but the IR and UV blocking #'s are polar opposites. Let alone the life of the tint. I'm in the sign business so I understand as the qualities of vinyl have the same polar opposites of material...

    20 degrees cooler inside (roof / windshield tint/film)

    I tinted my front drivers and passenger door glass to match the rears and I also tinted the windshield with 50 % dark, ceramic tint. Made a HUGE difference. I'm getting the roof done on Wednesday, with ceramic limo tint, as dark as possible. I always use the highest end ceramic / IR tint and...

    2022.23.3 OTA Update: Pet Mode, Parking Front Camera View, Cabin Light Adjustment, Updated Energy App & More

    So..... anyone can get into my locked R1T if they know that ? Or is this just if the batteries die ?? I'm so confused here . . .

    Had my First Drive... very impressed, but will now almost certainly cancel my pre-order.

    You didn't drive it long enough to get the feel. I have driven almost 3k miles in the last 10 weeks of ownership and am now starting to really get the feel for it. You're really missing out if you give up now . . .
