For those curious about efficiency impact.. I did a quick non-scientific test. I average about 40-50 miles/day commute with 70% hwy/30% local, using AP in auto height (21 w/o aero covers). I logged about 600 miles at 2.45 mi/kwH without the running boards, then installed the boards (without any of the plastic undercovers) and now getting around 2.31mi/kwH at 400miles so about 5-6% loss. Once I hit 600 miles, will install the plastic undercovers, reset the trip meter and re-check.

Quick update on this. I noted around 2.34 mpK at around 600mi, so roughly 5% loss of mileage. I haven't installed the under covers yet and and at past 1.1K miles now and efficency continues to climb (with weather I assume) and I"m at 2.39 mpK now.

• Stock: 2.45mpk @ 600mi, avg T=~45-65C
• Boards installed: 2.34mpk @ 600mi, avg T=~45-65C

I"ll reset the trip meter and log another 600mi with and without the undercover once temps stabilize.

• Boards installed: XXX mpk . , avg T=~50-75C
• Boards installed w/ undercover: XXX mpk

Overall, at least for me, the 5% loss is worth it given the value and benefit of having the boards. No issues for getting in and out even in the AP 'high' mode setting

i received a replacement set of running boards for the ones i had that rusted. is there anything different about the replacement from the previous one i had ordered in April 2023? i ask because if there's the same potential for rust i may treat it with a spray-on bedliner but wanted to check if you guys treated it to prevent rust. if not, if you have any recommendations aside from a bedliner spray that would be appreciated.

This question seems to have been avoided multiple times in multiple threads, seems to provide the answer.

Sorry gang, this was not avoided at all - I was confused with the ask. We have updated the 'design' over time, more than once, relating to the physical shape / design of the part and to address changes Rivian has made. Thought this was the question.

As for the few rust issues we replaced, yes the replacement parts are prepped, primed and powdered coated to spec! If you had one that rusted, it was related to the part not being properly coated (our mistake, apologies - we had a few slip through with new people in production who didn't properly apply the coating).

We have stayed 100% true to our word as promised, replaced any part that had issue, and our warranty is rock solid!!! We have never denied a warranty, and even replaced a part for someone who bought the running boards 'second hand' -

I can't promise perfection, but I can promise we stand behind our products!

Best regards

Ordered my truck and the running boards on the same day 3/3/24.

Truck will be delivered 3/12, but let's see how long my running boards take. The website does say early March, but we all know this company delays are out of hand.

did you get shipment yet? I also ordered mine in early march. Still nothing & website said mid March for me for R1S running boards.

Hey let me check on your order, pm me your name or order number! we are caught up on all rock sliders and those are in stock. R1S running boards have been shipping this week, catching up now!

I am currently headed to the Atlanta service center to get my running boards installed on my R1S. I will try to take a few photos and put them here.

Well had my rock sliders on for only a few weeks and just noticed this today. Anything to worry about? Kinda surprised to see rust so quickly, have barely driven it.

EDIT: Cody @ EV Sportline reached out to me almost immediately and it's clear they stand behind the product. Hoping some sealant will fix this once cleaned up.

Mines also a recent batch and had this exact same thing on the driver side after it got soaked in the rain. I wiped it off, cleaned everything out, and now waiting to see if it was just some surface rust that is cleaned off or if it’s going to keep coming back every time it rains. Not looking forward to uninstalling and replacing them if it does…

This is from some moisture inside the tube. Looks much worse that it really is - we had some where the tube weld has a small gap and this happens. We are happy to swap them out or some have just sealed the tube instead. Pm me and I can help!
