Re-voicing my (and many other’s) preference for a rubber or soft plastic top if possible.Just for giggles. Here's an aluminum plate powder coated. This was my initial plan. I really like this a lot.
How did FedEx do?Btw- As long as Fedex doesn't screw up.... again... I may have something today.
I have the material in hand. Need to put it all together and take some pictures. Goal is to have the pictures posted to you guys today.How did FedEx do?
I broke down and ended up buying an iPhone 14 Pro Max, this week.... So I'm anxiously awaiting a professional-looking magsafe option for my R1T.
I'm sorry guys. So long story short:Anxiously awaiting we are....
Appreciate your effort to get it right. I’ll be waiting patientlyI'm sorry guys. So long story short:
We ordered some alcantara. I chose a color that I felt would match more trucks as possible. Between gluing it, the difficult install (it wanted to lift often), and how it looks in the truck. Neither David or I liked the end result. It just didn't feel right.
I ordered a few samples of other colors and materials as well. And none of the colors or materials looked right.
So where does that put us? I am looking into some natural textures, and I think we have something that will feel more at home in the truck as well as what Rivian stands for. I'll be happy to explain more if wanted.
I don't mind a hard surface top plate since the phones won't slide around with mag safe. May be you can etch the electric flash logo (similar to the one Rivian stitches on their caps) in the middle of the plate for kicks.I'm sorry guys. So long story short:

Wow you are on the right path for one of our ideas. But think more nature and map like.I don't mind a hard surface top plate since the phones won't slide around with mag safe.

Whatever you can add to the plate is a bonus! It looks fantastic as is already.Wow you are on the right path for one of our ideas. But think more nature and map like.
Why don't you just sell what you can come up with right now (what you just mentioned) and let people decide if they want to diy their own wrap if they don't like what you offer. Then offer an upgrade later when you have a better solution.Wow you are on the right path for one of our ideas. But think more nature and map like.

Well it's good that it didn't work. Also I just want to put the rubber option to rest.Alcantara on the charging plate area doesn't sound like a great idea. It'll get trashed with dirt and potentially stains. Something that is easily cleanable with a simple detail spray and a synthetic brush is preferred. I know you keep hearing rubber, but that's truly the best solution for a topper. Anything you can get close to that is a win, IMO.
