  1. How to open up the rear seat floor vents?

    Night 1: two of the five mousetraps I put in the car had the bait nibbled off them; zero of the five mousetraps sprung. Knowing the mouse/mice were small I was even careful to delicately set them as close to the edge as possible. 😤 Will see if this past evening have any better results. Also...
  2. How to open up the rear seat floor vents?

    Years ago my wife’s car had mice in it. Put my (admittedly, old) cat in there; she’d been a great mouser in her youth. Came back a couple hours later to find her asleep in a sunbeam on the floor with five baby mice snuggled up against her belly. Very disappointing.
  3. How to open up the rear seat floor vents?

    If my only goal was just removing the candies, these are some great ideas. Thank you! (I fear I'll need to drive around a bit to keep moving new ones to the opening, but that's totally doable.) I edited my original post after you answered to add that ideally I'd like to really open this up so I...
  4. How to open up the rear seat floor vents?

    Long story short: there are 10–20 round candies stuck inside the rear air vents, they roll back and forth through the air ducts when I drive, and it's making me insane. How do I start disassembling the floor of my 1st-gen R1T to get at these? Slightly longer version: I live in the mountains and...
  5. Sticky steering for days…then it cleared up.

    I've had my gen1 R1T for 3 years now, with it being my daily driver. I'm used to how it drives. A couple weeks ago there was a noticeable change in the steering in the middle of a drive that felt wrong, and persisted for 5 days…and then got better on its own. The steering felt totally normal at...
  6. Weird static noise - any suggestions?

    According to another thread, this is likely the "cabin air temperature sensor fan". I've just started experiencing it on my 2022 R1T, going to try and get service center to fix it.
  7. Small motor hum coming from steering column area.

    This just started happening with my R1T. Definitely not related to speed (pitch does not vary when driving or stopped), volume can change over time, not related to audio (not coming from speaker, does not change when raising or lowering the volume, occurs when all audio is off or there's audio...
  8. Cracked windshield

    I had 6" of heavy, wet snow last week. When it was done covering my truck, I remotely turned on the defrost to maximum to melt some if it before going to clean it off. Came out to find a multi-foot curving crack running from the bottom center of the windshield, below the wipers, up through the...
  9. Firewood capacity: 1/4 cord

    A cord is measured by stacked volume, 4'×4'×8', or 128 ft³. The place I buy from has wooden frames pre-stacked to various volumes (with various combinations of hard or soft woods). Their wood is cut to 16" (a little shorter than I'd like ?‍♂️) and so their ¼ cord is 16" × 4' × 6' (which does...
  10. What Are You Hauling (or Hauled) in your Rivian? 🦾

    In case it helps someone, here’s what my 2022 R1T looks like with 1/4 cord of firewood loaded in it. I built “wall” pieces at the edges because I thought it would be a little more full and had to travel on a highway for a bit. Was maybe unnecessary.

  12. Sliding on snow + ice: thank goodness for Soft Sand Mode

    Yeah? That's good to know. I'd though 3PMSF was equivalent to a winter tire. I'll go find some true winter tires, then.
  13. Sliding on snow + ice: thank goodness for Soft Sand Mode

    Love Barnsley. The only place I go to. Last year they suggested the tires I currently have on. The Open Country A/T III are "three-peak mountain snowflake" rated. They worked great last year, and have worked fine on Magnolia in every case but this one incident. This review of them in snow likes...
  14. Sliding on snow + ice: thank goodness for Soft Sand Mode

    I have four of those, also. I used them last winter, and they work really, really well. They were my next step if I couldn't find a drive mode. The downside of them is that you need to be able to roll your wheels to put them on. Not a problem when you're on flat (even icy) ground. Much harder to...
  15. Sliding on snow + ice: thank goodness for Soft Sand Mode

    1st gen Quad-Motor R1T, driving up a steep, paved mountain road during heavy snow storm. I'm in Snow mode, with traction control on. Wearing Toyo Open Country AT/III from last season; tread is a bit low, but not useless. Cars ahead are stopped in the middle of the road with hazards on, in a...
  16. Any Non-Connect+ Users got the 2024.39 Update yet?

    Data point: R1T gen 1, previously had been in a later update ring than others. I always got Software Updates a week or so later than the first reports. Had not received any update notice as of yesterday afternoon. For this and other reasons, I subscribed to Connect+ yesterday afternoon. Last...
  17. Extension for air hose?

    I occasionally have wanted to use my R1T's air compressor on things that are farther than I can reach with the hose that came with the car. (I have to back my truck right up to my wife's SUV's bumper to fill her tires, and then try to operate the air hose with the tailgate up. I cannot reach the...
  18. Aftermarket 6X9 subwoofer experiment in a 2023 R1T

    Thanks for including this. I've repeatedly tried to get Rivian to find/fix various rattles, and am...pleased?...to see that I'm not the only one finding the car rattles with the road and strong bass.
  19. Installed: Cargo Tie Down Ring Hook & L-Track Quick Disconnect Mounting Base Kit by Team 1EV

    No data, no tests. My gut tells me 100 pounds steady pull force would be fine, 200 would be sketchy, 300 would make me very nervous. If I attached a ratcheting strap straight across two and started tightening with one hand, the Internet tells me I could exert over 1,100 pounds of force. Even...
