All weather floor mats and crossbars if you want to carry anything outside your truck. Also try the wireless charger. If you hate it, there are plenty of after market options that are amazing.

I added mud flaps. Did not seem to affect performance. Also, I PPf’d the front end (DIY) where one expects the worst impacts from rocks. Up to you if you want to PPF the entire vehicle. Also, I went to my local Discount Tire and paid them for their tire protection which replaces a tire in case of an irreparable flat. They’ll do that if under about 500 miles driven. Unfortunately this was AFTER I had my first such event.

Since you say you live someplace cold and snowy you may want to order winter/snow tires pretty soon. If you wait until the first frost they will probably be out of stock.

You didn't say which tire package you ordered. If it was the all-terrain package, they have a reputation for rather poor performance on snow and ice and you will really benefit from proper winter tires.

...and a L2 wall charger (hardwired) for your garage..

Rock Sliders / Running Boards!
I purchased the Weistec Engineering option. They took me about 2 hours total time to install in my driveway with only hand tools. Easy install and well built. I love having a step into the truck, easier jacking points for the truck, and extra underbody protection. The website claims they are back ordered, however, I placed my order on Sat July 20th and they shipped on Tue July 22nd, in hand Fri Jul 26th.

I would order the fullsize spare tire and kit (comes with the pucks).

-Running boards
-Floors mats (big fan of Tuxmats, personally)
-Like someone else mentioned, potentially an upgraded wireless charger. TWRAPS is the best IMO
-Screen protectors for both front and back
-Wall charger (I got the Tesla universal one for both future proofing and charging current vehicle)
-Center console organizer + lower console organizer tray as well
-Jack pucks
-Sunshade

Optional:
-Cargo cover
-Crossbars
-Center console area cover
-Gear Guard Plushie

Thank you. This looks really nice but can someone recommend a running board that is not as expensive. I am definitely not going to be rock crawling.

The cheap ones I found were in the $800 range and the quality seemed much lower. Dangling bits below the bottom of the truck and only a few connection points. Seemed like a small cost relative to the vehicle cost…

To @UnsungZero_OldTimeAdMan's adapter recommendations I would add the original TeslaTap people in California. Their URL (not intuitive) is https://www.umc-j1772.com/ ,.

TeslaTap has also been reliable, with complete integrity and solid engineering. They stand by their products too. Expensive, but worth it in my opinion....

Best to all -- and, @Hauser37, enjoy your Rivian!
