Sigh…. I pointed out to my guide that the accessories I already paid for were in stock and she assured me they were prioritizing deliveries to us R1T owners that still hadn’t got accessories.That’s weird that there was no tracking number sent to you. I’m still waiting on my accessories as well, but in the mean time I ordered another set of crossbars this past weekend and they are scheduled for delivery tomorrow per the email from Rivian. ?
At least you got a UPS notification so you could identify the issue.
Yeah, something's really screwed up with their system. I was digging around the JSON data returned from the web requests, and all the add-ons had the wrong address in them (also an old one). Even though I've updated the vehicle options several times since the original order was placed.
Your mileage may vary. It sucks that R1VLIFE had such a struggle. My floor mats were installed in about 3 minutes, with no cussing at all. ?Hey everyone,
Today is the 12th day I have had my R1T and I came home to this surprise.
Sorry @jjswan33 if you haven't received your bundles yet. There was no tracking that was sent to me.
I received the all weather floormats, the off road recovery kit and the field kit. The crossbars are still MIA.
By now, everyone knows the field kit doesn't fit flush and the off road recovery kit is just an off road recovery kit.
What I haven't seen mentioned is how big a PITA installing the all weather floormats is. Popping out the chilewich floor mats was easy. Then came 5 minutes of me installing the front 2, and 25 minutes trying to get the rear all weathers installed.
Pro tip: adjust your front seats all the way back so you have plenty of room to try to align the tabs of the floormats to the floor.
It was a mildly frustrating process of figuring out why the floormats would not snap down. You basically have to somehow lift the floormat enough so that it's not catching on the floor, so you can align it just right to snap them down. Easy as pie right?
Alright the fun starts with the rear one. It's great that Rivian made a long one piece all weather floormat. That also meant that it's super unwieldy when you're trying to angle it in just right so that you aren't catching the seat backs or the rear seats.
There are 3 tabs to lock down for the back, one on each end and one right smack in the middle. I found that the clearance is extremely tight. You really don't have room to play around if you want all 3 to snap in properly. I would be able to snap in one end but due to how the floormat was seated, the middle and the other end would not be able to snap in, or I would be able to snap both ends but not the middle.
To save you approximately 20+ minutes...
Maneuver this unwieldy piece of rubber/plastic??? by lifting and adjusting its position until you're able to snap it in the middle. Then have fun smoothing and adjusting each side until they are able to snap in their respective spots.
Last step, thank Rivian for designing such tight tolerances for their rear floormat. Think about how much time you would have saved if they had just installed this at the factory or at the service center before you took delivery.
And of course, enjoy your new all weather floormats!

Sooo...I'll let first one go, second one ya get note....it's an R1S not RS1. (I do it all the time as well). I think the RS1 goes for about 2 or 3 million$.
Actually, my field kit does fit flush. You may need to move some stuff around in there a bit, but it certainly can fit flush. Some of the contents of the field kit may have shifted in shipping making it a bit bulgy in places. Just shift some stuff about, give it a bit of a squish; it'll be fine. Again, ymmv.
Check back with UPS. They have an uption where they will re-route it to a UPS store of your choosing. Then you can pick it up there by showing your ID.
At least you got a notice. Mine was delivered to my old address and the new owners were kind enough to reach out to the realtor to get my contact info. It took Rivian a week to have UPS pickup but instead of sending to me they just went back to wherever they came from. My guide had to reorder and I still have no idea when I will get the mats. What is really stupid is that Rivian sent my wall charger to my correct address then pulled my old address out of their ass for the floor mats.
Geez. Hope they can get all this right. I forgot that Wall Charger came to the right address 3-4 weeks ago so complete DRE on old address here too for field kit and crossbars.
