  1. Vandalism on Rivian - sharing for awareness

    Look into paintless dent repair. The fix can be a couple hundreds of dollars and not thousands
  2. First tire rotation completed -- my experience

    The jack point covers are taken off by pushing in the portion furthest away from the outside. So if pointing towards the front is 12 o’ clock, on the driver side you push in at 3 o’clock. On the passenger side you push in at 9 o’clock. To put back in you seat the same side first making sure...
  3. What kind of loaner rentals have you gotten?

    I had a Jeep Compass from Enterprise. The EV from enterprise were all taken. Driving that Jeep felt like the middle ages. So archaic.
  4. Builtright Bedside Molle Panel Kit installed in R1T bed

    all 3 panels. Fits like a glove. They bolt onto the frame itself. Should be pretty sturdy. p.s. bedliner is from evsportline.
  5. Count Orlok just ordered his Lightning... R1T in limbo

    What ride mode and height are you in? Have you tried just All Purpose with standard height as default with auto off and soft suspension? I know my R1T the ride gets harsher when its in a lower suspension.
  6. Option to buy F150 Lightning platinum today…

    Not to beat a dead horse but the charge port on the F150 is almost a third back from the front end. At the newly opened Tesla Superchargers the cord will have a major stretch to reach the F150 port while in the Rivian its easy.
  7. Show us your Mountain/Gravel/Road Bike MTB - Rivian Style!

    The Ibis Bow-Ti was my dream bike back in the days!
  8. 350KW EVGO charger maxed at 70KW and is my only option, any idea why? Rivian no help.

    If you’re getting low charge speeds you might need to reset the truck. Unplug first then do a hard reset. That is a long press/hold of the left outermost steering wheel button with a hold of the hazard light (about 15 sec). It’s like rebooting your slow computer. Frees up the cache etc. once...
  9. trouble installing cross bars

    I find that by holding the cross bars a 1-2 millimeters above the anchor point, the moving latch will double click in place. You need to let the latch bring the foot of the crossbar down to the anchor as you close the door.
  10. Mini-review at 1500 miles (R1S)

    I assume you have a service appt opened to get these issues fixed? It can be crazy how one vehicle is near flawless and the one made right after it can have so many issues. I think the push to get vehicles delivered really stressed out the factory to meet their goals. hopefully things will...
  11. Possibly some activity in Portland

    Apparently a mobile service tech said the Pdx SC should open by March/April. Hoping that is correct.
  12. This youtube review points out R1S cabin interior noise?

    A Munro Live video way back when mentioned 2 types of sound dampening foam around the motors. One for low speed and the other at freeway speeds. Rivian could of added the middle range if they wanted to but didn’t. It seems that mid range speed motor noise is intentional. The other thing is that...
  13. Anyone driven a Rivian from Seattle to Cannon Beach?

    The Oregon coast has very few EA stations. There is a company called EVCS.com that has 50 kW chargers. They have stations at almost every town on the Oregon Coast.
  14. Powered 40 qt Frunk Cooler and 12 gal Water Tank w/ washdown sprayer concept (by @BoxGods)

    The frunk does get warm when the AC compressor is running. The fans and heat exchanger share the same space as the frunk body. I wonder if you can add a thin layer of insulation to match the frunk body wall.
  15. Video: Rivian R1T Aerodynamics - Is the claimed drag coefficient of 0.30 correct?

    The video mentioned the coef of 0.3 was most likely with ideal setup. So 21” wheels with aerocover at low or lowest ride height. The question is how much does 0.022 matter in terms of efficiency
  16. Through end of the year, Electrify America will replace 300+ early-generation chargers with next-generation chargers

    Maybe this is why some chargers are left for dead. No reason to fix if they are gonna be upgraded and replaced
  17. Knocking in rear motor during acceleration / deceleration

    just wondering if your R1T/S makes a single knock or two noises as soon as you press or release the accelerator pedal at low to medium speeds coming from the rear motors. Mine made this since delivery but seems a little more noticeable now. Interestingly no knock when in conserve mode...
  18. Kayak/Canoe problem foreseen!

    I wonder if someone can make a bedrail adapter. Have 2 solid pieces one for each side that anchors to the 4 points. Then the top of the anchor is the standard attachment points for what ever hardware.
  19. Kayak/Canoe problem foreseen!

    I pass this company on my commute route. I bet they or a similar company can create a support system for your kayak. I can see a triangular structure that secures to the crossbars over the bed and is height adjustable to be a 3rd contact point for your kayak. It would be narrow so no one would...
  20. First Vegas Trip. Rivian R1T outperformed Tesla Model S, by a large margin!

    You should become an EA member. The $4 per month will be paid for with one charge. 31 cents per kw vs 43 cents
