I did full front plus 2 front doors. I drive a lot of highway so wanted to protect the flat front. When I started going off-road with it, I realized that any branches hitting the sides would glance off the front fenders and doors but would dig into the back doors and back so I had to do the rest...

DINK; me too

I can buy it if still available. I’m in West Covina.

I love the strong regen. It’s designed to stop a 7,000 pound car. I have a Tesla and that has a weaker regen so always annoyed that I overestimate the regen and have to use my pedal. But I can see how some people may feel it is strong at first. You’ll get used to it. Just ease off the pedal more...

I’m trying to subscribe to Connect + but there is an error. They don’t want my money, apparently. And no update for me either. For the record on the subscription, I have a Tesla and I have to pay for that data as well. There is zero reason that Rivian (or any company) should have free cellular...

I got Rivian Blue on my R1S quad. Still love it and I still get compliments on the color.

See screenshot for what I got. Good timing; seems like this kit is on sale at Thule.com and Amazon now. 20% off. I like the Thule crossbars. They will take longer to put on than the Yakima ones from Rivian but they are much more sturdy and have no play at the fix point. Very stable, which is...

I use the Thule Wingbar Evo 135 (53”) as my crossbars. I also have a Thule Tepui but mounted on my R1S. I did not feel any flexing while in it and once set up, the tent worked great. If that doesn’t work, consider flipping the tent so that it covers more of the edges and not just the center of...

If you are talking about the A pillars where the windshield airbags sit, I have taken them off to remove the dashboard. I was trying to fix the rattle after Rivian service kept saying it was fixed but doing nothing. There are two clips that hold it in pretty tightly. I had to use a lot pressure...

When the tent is folded, I do not leave bedding in there as I try to make it as slim as possible to make it easier to fold and for aero though I have seen others do leave some bedding in there. As for pulley, my entire garage is too short and I have nothing else around my house, not even a tree...

I agree that one of the draw backs of the canvas RTT is the time it takes to unzip it and get set up and the reverse. So yes, a clamshell would make it faster. However, my initial problem was getting the tent up on top of the S, which is hard enough with the canvas tent, which weighs about half...

The weight is definitely a problem. Too late for me since I already purchased the Thule. My wife would be very unhappy if I had to buy another tent so soon. But for others thinking of getting a RTT, the weight is definitely something to consider when trying to mount on an R1S.

Yeah, having one of those trailers to carry it over the Rivian would have been nice but the good ones are like $800 and I felt it a little pricey to just lift a tent. Might be the only way to go though. Putting it on an R1T over the bed would be immensely easier.

That is true, I didn’t think of getting up on top of the tent. It is a long way down though if you fall and you would need to be careful where you stepped to not break glass or any other panel that was not meant to be stepped on. Maybe having those roof platforms would make this easier.

Getting up on the R1S was the biggest challenge and that’s mostly because of my garage not being tall enough. However, once it’s up on the roof, it’s still very far off the ground and because mine has a zipper that you have to zip all the way around, I had to get up and down around the entire...

I installed a roof top tent on my R1S for a week camping in the Oceano Dunes in Pismo Beach, CA. I just wanted to provide my experience with mine for those of you thinking of getting one. First, my gear: I have a Thule Tepui Kukeman 3. I am using a pair of the Thule Wingbar Evo 135 (53”) as my...

Correct. I have these.

Mojave Trail March 2024

I have Progressive. Only have two other cars plus the Rivian. I was was surprised by how cheap it was to add the R1S. Probably because it is an SUV. But to add it, it only cost an additional $450 per 6 months. It’s full coverage but I do have a high deductible ($2,500); I hate dealing with...

I did 70 miles of the road a few weeks back in an R1S. I started in Baker, charged to around 80%. Drove to the trail from there (about 20 miles paved) and headed east stopping at the Mojave Trail Mailbox and continuing on to Kelso Cima Rd and continuing east until I hit Lanfair Rd. I visited the...
