Now You Know - Rivian lied

[mini2nut]

Those who ordered the optional Yakima rooftop tent may be interested.

NOTE: Skip through the long mattress commercial at the beginning.

Heh, I had posted this earlier in the Tent thread

Having to disassemble the clamps to get it to work kinda doesn't count as lying in my book. The Thule tent I bought works, but the threads on the bolts damage the crossbars slightly because it's too tight of a fit.

Can I get 15 minutes of my life back and not have to buy the mattress or my pillow advertised in this video?

Zack and Jesse would sell their first born if the advertising price was right.

RIVIAN is already bleeding money by honoring the original price of the truck even though people like Sandy Munro have no clue how RIVIAN is making money (spoiler, they aren't).

So, let's not win the battle and lose the war. If you can afford an R1T or R1S you can afford to pay the extra "RIVIAN Tax" to help them keep their margins and have long term financial health which benefits all owners.

Just my two cents. Well, I'm a SASSquatch so I'm claiming at least 4 cents...

I could only make it through 3 minutes, not including the 2 minute mattress ad I skipped.

All I learned was that these guys are entitled.

But first they'd whine about having to pick him up at the hospital.

As a further incentive - we do not know what that REI sold Yakima tent's warranty is. If bought via Rivian's venue, we get two warranty options pending on when you buy the tent: If you buy it via Rivian after you purchase your vehicle, the warranty on the tent is 2 years. If you buy the tent at the same time as the vehicle, it is covered for the full bumper to bumper warranty (5 yrs/60k miles). Additionally, Rivian will throw in a pair of the crossbars included with the purchase of the tent bought via their venue.

No doubt. I've come to realize these two are terrible. But I do have to give them credit. For anyone that wants to save on $$, bought/is planning to buy the tent post their Rivian vehicle purchase, and have no concern about warranty length coverage, they did find a cost effective loophole.

Just Tesla fanboys hating on RIVIAN.... Again

They were actually complimentary this time. You know they will both be drooling when their Cybertruck arrives though.

I need to search Yakima’s parts to see if I can buy those mounts separately. They would be fairly easy to modify for my iKamper, thus making it easier to mount it to the truck…

Edit: And there it is for just $65:

With a little creativity and you can make virtually anything work. Good find!

Let’s assume my YouTube button is broken and unfortunately I’ll never be able to make it through this video. What exactly did Rivian lie about? Anyone care to paraphrase?

Were told the Yakima tent was not compatible with Rivian racks.
