  1. Wheel curb rash / scuffs - DIY buff out?

    I finally curbed myself. 20 AT dark. Looks like it’s just the clear coat. What’s the best way to buff or polish this out? Is there a touch up paint or clear coat that’s recommended?
  2. FYI Buttonwillow station is dead/offline

    Apparently went offline in chunks sometime during the 7-10pm hours Nov 26… yeah the dreaded Thanksgiving trek through Cali. Instead I waited 2.5 hours at an EA. unfortunately the Rivian app had me routed to this charger only to arrive with it dead. Obvious feature request: differentiate between...
  3. Calling all Weistec rock slider owners... do you still use jack pucks?

    I'm waiting for my sliders to arrive and unfortunately just got a nail in my tire that needs changing. I don't own pucks yet and was about to order when I realized, "maybe I shouldn't bother because I'll just use the sliders?" ... then right after that I thought, "but maybe good pucks are...
  4. Approved body shop reviews?

    Unfortunately I was rear-ended recently. I'm in the Santa Monica area. Rivian officially says I should go straight to an approved body shop. They recommended three shops in metro LA and they all look pretty legit via general Google and Yelp reviews, however, I can't find any specific mentions of...
  5. Best in cabin trash cans?

    Family R1S user here. I want something that stays in place but can be grabbed and moved easily. I prefer things that allow bags inside and I'm ok with lids, but don't refer them. I like the 2 - 4L capacity range, so, on the smaller side. Any awesome OEM-looking products out there? Maybe...
  6. Is this what your 2nd row headrests look like?

    It seems like one of the two release buttons is missing the part that sticks out, thus requiring a tool to push in. Makes adjusting the headrest very hard. but both my headrests are like this, so is it just a terrible, but intentional, design?
  7. Best way to run an extension cord out the vehicle in the rain?

    Is there a trick? Maybe someone makes a piece of plastic that works on a rear window that I could leave cracked (like an old school rain guard)? Other ideas? I'm looking for something watertight, relatively secure, looks nice, etc. It's for occasional use only, I just want to own something that...
  8. Running boards and rock rails, what are my current choices (R1S)?

    I'm aware of the recent OEM chatter, but I dont believe those can be purchased or are even actually confirmed, eh? So, what are the actual choices for running boards and rock rails? I have an R1S but I would bet there's going to be parity (anything offered for the R1T is going to be available...
  9. HVAC rear vents don't show a "cooling" icon... wtf?

    Rivian iconography seems to have 4 images for the HVAC vents: hot air / heating neutral air / blowing cold air / cooling no air / off Why doesn't my third row show cooling (obviously the system is trying to cool the whole car)? Am I crazy, and the third row just doesn't have AC? Note: there...
  10. How to limit mobilecharger for lower current circuits before plugging in?

    I'm on a road trip charging at a friends house with a 30amp @ 240V circuit. The mobile charger starts up no problem but it pretty much trips the breaker instantly. I wonder, is there a way I can PREconfigure (before plugging in) the car or charger to tell it to limit the current to 25amps (or...
  11. Does my Rivian know what wheels it has? How to adjust for new tires?

    I’m asking to understand if my range estimates factor in my 20” A/T. If so, how do I adjust whenever I go get new tires?
  12. Alternative drawer for camp speaker slot bonus if lockable?

    I find myself never using the camp speaker. Neat accessory... I guess I'm glad I have it... in definitely totally unrelated news... maybe.... I really miss having a proper glovebox (I know there's a center console, I want more space). This leads to the obvious question: has anyone manufactured...
  13. How to get the Rivian Torch battery 18650 cell out?

    Anyone have pictures on how to get the torch batter out so I can charge it from any of the myriad Lion cell chargers I already own? For those who don't know the torch unscrews at the bottom and the 18650 is in a plastic carrier that looks fragile and is non-obvious to open for raw battery cell...
  14. Attachment for DIY roof accessories instead of using OEM cross bars?

    I could swear someone machines clips that I can buy to make my own accessories for my R1S. I'm looking to mount a roof rack with a lower profile than putting it on top fo the cross bars, but I can't find any way to reliably lock in to the mount points.
  15. Warning "Adaptive Cruise Control Unavailable Until Serviced"?

    I just saw a warning flash on my dash that approximately said, "Adaptive Cruise Control Unavailable Until Serviced." It went away before I could take a picture. I don't see any place to go check warnings, nor do I see it anymore. Anyone else have this happen? Should I be concerned?
  16. How does the driver seatbelt interact with reversing?

    I need to remove my seatbelt when reversing into a specific (frequent) spot so that I can get the right elevated angle for clear direct vision of my path... but the car seems to try to put itself into park sometimes. I can't find anything in owners manual about this. Anyone here know how the car...
  17. Full length heavy duty roof rack options?

    I'm looking for recommendations or confirmation of a large and heavy duty roof rack that's affordable, meaning under $500 (which likely rules out custom fabrication). I specifically want to span the whole roof and I've measured that the front and back crossbars are 63 3/4" center-to-center, so...
  18. RAN Waypoint charge speed (Inyokern + Bishop)

    SoCal R1S checking in - 20A/Ts and a roof rack w/a luggage bag. I'm curious for some direct experience with the charge rates for Inyokern and Bishop, if anyone's done it yet. With my setup I think I need hefty charge amounts at both place. I've got the whole family loaded and want to know how...
  19. Camp speaker randomly waking up while docked?

    Anyone else have their camp speaker randomly wake up while docked? I've noticed this twice because my phone suddenly picks up the bluetooth and my audio output switches to the speaker. This is all happening while the car is sleeping in my driveway, camp speaker off and latched (for hours), and...
  20. How to valet a Rivian using phone as a key?

    I think I know the answer but how are we supposed to valet when we've only used our phone as a key? I think the answer is, "ya can't!" and we should bring one of the physical keys for valet purposes, right? I'm not particularly concerned with literal valet specific features (geofencing, power...
