  1. Random Rivian Photos of the Day - Post Yours! šŸ“ø

    I plan to do a full post on our recent RAGBRAI roadtrip adventure, from Florida to Iowa and back, but here is a quick photo from when we stopped by the factory. Ironically, I guess we just missed @RivianTrackr by a few hours earlier that day when he picked up his new R2.
  2. What’s Coming in Rivian’s 2026.15.30 Hotfix

    After applying the latest update/hot fix, now my garage door and passive entry are not working. And yes, I’ve rebooted 3 times and tuned off/on settings. Even though ā€œhomeā€ is set for no action, my watch keeps triggering lock and unlock as I walk through the house. I previously never had any...
  3. šŸŽ‰ NEW šŸŽ‰ RMaxx Heavy Duty Brush / Bull Bars for Rivian R1T / R1S Front Grille and Rear Bumper - EV Sportline

    I have a 2026 R1T, but it is Dual Standard. Since they don’t have the tow hooks, does that prevent the installation of this product?
  4. Random Rivian Photos of the Day - Post Yours! šŸ“ø

    Love bug season in Florida is no joke 😬
  5. R1S / R1T Outdoor Car Cover now in Rivian Gear Shop (May 2026)

    I am sure there is a certain premium for having a custom/proper sized cover…but $500 😬
  6. Automatic accessory mode with third brake light

    Thought I’d share - I reached out to ORL SC and they were able to offer the part on an existing work order. Cost is $200 + tax.
  7. Automatic accessory mode with third brake light

    I thought they were just gone forever, or at least until a newer version was released. I will have to check with the Orlando SC and see if they can in fact still order them.
  8. Universal hands free UHF faults

    I’ll share that I experienced this yesterday/last night in my 2026 R1T. First, on a trip from Orlando to Sarasota, it ā€œfreaked outā€ randomly and told me to take control immediately, with no obvious reason (was paying attention, no cars around, straight road, etc.); would not re-engage until we...
  9. Palo Alto & Miami R2 Block Parties -- RSVP Signup Page / Dates (May 15-17)

    I was going to drive down to Miami, from Orlando, but not sure if will be worth the hassle with traffic, lack of parking, etc.
  10. Rivian Assistant is not a weather man (woman)

    I thought it was just me. She said the current temp in Orlando earlier tonight was 66….the display showed 83. Just a tad off 🤨
  11. BestEvMod’s Monthly Giveaway for Rivian Owners!

    I love my mudflaps as they help keep my black R1T (a little) cleaner in the Florida rains.
  12. What Feels “Overbuilt”… Until You Actually Need It?

    Thanks for the feedback. I already have AAA, but would much rather have have a ā€œbackupā€ as we will be driving in middle-of-nowhere Iowa for some of the trip. I already carry a full set of jack pucks in my gear tunnel toolbox.
  13. QUESTION - Thunderbolt Adventure - R1T Bed Glider - upgraded shocks?

    Sorry to hear you got a bounce back on the email; I’ll investigate. Thanks for the transparency and assistance regarding the replacement struts.
  14. What Feels “Overbuilt”… Until You Actually Need It?

    I’m about to take my R1T on a long road trip (FL to IA) in a few months. I know I’ll likely choose to pickup a full size spare before then…just feel better prepared should we need it. Any insight/recommendations on a portable jack (ex - Big Red bottle jack)?
