Your item #3, the Gyeon Quartz Leather kit (Leatherset Mild), has been unavailable for the past month and a half. The Leatherset Strong kit might still be available. I asked, on Amazon, what was the difference between the kits, but got no response.Ok folks, I didn't see a thread on here that was discussing what aftermarket accessories or care products folks were planning to use/purchase when they take delivery of their R1T so I thought I would get things started with my list. I'm only listing non-RIVIAN branded products in my list below as folks have already started covering those in other threads.
This is only a partial list so add yours and lets inspire each other with new products or provide feedback on existing ones!
Accessories
Care + Protection Products
- Floor Mats: Weathertech
- Normally, I would purchase weathertech mats, but I have ordered the RIVIAN ones and suspect they will be just as good.
- Custom Sun Shade: Heatshield
- I know some will tint their front windshields, but I'm not really interested in the cost. These custom sun shades are cut specifically for your car and can be used in the winter to attract heat and summer to repel heat (different material on each side).
- Frunk Cooler: Dometic Ice Cooler
- Since the frunk isn't vented, not sure it will be a good idea to have a powered fridge in the frunk.
- Tesla Charging Adapter: Tesla to J1772 Adapter
- I have one of these and have used it several times at hotels where there are tesla destination chargers. Pricey, but a must have for being prepared and having maximum charging options.
- Screen Protector for Main Display
- Will be a must have to protect that big glass display but I have not been able to find anyone who has made one yet.
- Console Organizer
- The lack of a glove box means you will need to use the console in the same vein but all appearances are that it is a cavernous hole. An organizer to maximize the utility of the space will be a must have.
- Heavy Duty Tire Jack: Pro Eagle Off Road Jack
- From what I have read/seen, the included jack doesn't inspire confidence so I will likely want to have an upgrade around just in case.
- Paint Sealant + Polish kit by Klasse
- Been using this for 20 years and as I have mentioned many times before, I'm not a fan of ceramic coatings on paint due to the disproportionate cost vs. durability. Klasse offers protection up to 12 months, has an amazing deep shine, and requires no expensive paint prep. Detailers will apply it for the cost of a typical wax/detail.
- Xpel PPF/Window Tint
- I have been putting PPF on my cars since 2007 and as long as it is properly applied, is well worth the cost. I typically do the partial kit (bumper, fenders, partial hood, mirrors and headlights).
- Window tint is a necessity for keeping UV from destroying the interior and keeping the car cooler during the hot summer months.
- Leather Care: Gyeon Quartz Leather Kit
- I have used this on the last two vehicles and this is where I think ceramic coating has its benefits because you do not have to do expensive and labor intensive corrections to your vegan leather to apply this. So far, after 2 years I have been impressed with the ability to protect leather seats in our C-Max and prevent dye transfer.
- Car Wash Soap: Chemical Guys Ceramic Wash
- This stuff foams up like you wouldn't believe and unlike a $2,500 ceramic coating job, allows you to get some of the benefits of ceramic without breaking the bank. Can be used with paint sealant as well.
- Plastic+Trim: Cerakote Trim Protection
- Easy to apply and durable enough to survive a winter/salt season. Really does make trim look brand new again.
- Rain-X
- Really does improve visibility and snow/ice comes off the windshield much easier. I find it most helpful on the headlights to keep snow/dirt off.
- Interior Cleaner/Protectant: Chemical Guys
- Been using this on my i3 dashboard which is natural wood and it works wonders. Since the R1T has a lot of wood trim, we will need something to keep it looking good.
Thanks for catching that. There is another leather kit by the same company and I've updated the link to Amazon for this kit.Your item #3, the Gyeon Quartz Leather kit (Leatherset Mild), has been unavailable for the past month and a half.
