Rob thanks for all your hard work and for sharing it with us. I ordered the phone mount and console basket from you and took both with me to pick up my R1S in December. I've been living with both for over a month and I can't thank you enough for sharing your efforts with us.
My son received a 3D printer for Christmas and he's been printing all kinds of animals (and for some reason busts of Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson to sell to his friends), but today he's going to start printing Rivian stuff for me using a couple of rolls of PETG that I just ordered for him. I'm going to try your new left mount on the air vent (thanks for sharing) but I really think I want my phone between the two screens.
I'm going to have my son print this one for me -

This was posted to thingverse by gnowway (sorry if gnowway has a post on this site that I didn't link to, I didn't see it in this thread or elsewhere). This looks like a version of Rob's original ball mount with a 2.25" offset. I know you've mentioned that doing so can create some structural issues which certainly makes sense, but I really want to find a way to get my phone a bit higher to provide more visibility above the steering wheel and I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of wiggle (or mount failure now that I have an in-house printing source) to do so. Maybe if I like the mount location I could try to edit the design to provide a channel in the back where I could drop in a threaded rod and epoxy it in for strength.
I've also ordered the offset magsafe mount that you linked to on the left side mount post - I'll see how that does for me in this central location https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09R1G19K5?th=1
I'll post back any feedback.
Next steps for me might be going to the 2" ball and trying some of the RAM solutions that others have posted here.
If anyone else has a great solution please share. And thanks to Rob for all the continued efforts. (Picture of Rob's mount in action in snow mode up in the NC mountains a couple of weeks ago attached just for fun)
