My paint is holding up great–no discernable wear I can see.

This may be old news, but as I was going insane with the truck locking and unlocking as I was loading the bed, I discovered that popping a gear tunnel door open (just a little will do) will keep the truck from locking again. Just don't forget to close it when you walk away!

I've never had such a convenient place to carry crossbars as the Rivian Gear Tunnel. However, due to their shape and weight, it's hard to get them in and out if you have other stuff in there. I keep a short ladder and a mountain bike pad in the tunnel, and the crossbar feet get stuck in nooks...

I agree with the thread consensus–good for the weight and vehicle class, but not a 911. That said, you feel the Rivian's weight most in the corners. Down a curvy backroad though, it's an absolute blast. Not sports car-like, but it's own kind of fun. The feeling of carrying the weight, inertia...

You could put some duct tape over the mounting points and see if that makes a difference! I'd be interested to hear if it does.

I did this on mine in compass yellow (or at least the closest Rustoleum comes). I sprayed some spray paint into a dixie cup and slowly dripped the paint into the voids with a toothpick. Spray paint is pretty low viscosity, so it's easier to fill paint than other kinds.

Let us know how things look once you get it back! Where are you located? My service is in Bellevue, WA.

General consensus is that repairs to the tonneau aren't being scheduled until redesigned parts arrive in mid-August. I just got the call to schedule my appointment in 9/2 and indeed the work order specifies a remove and replace.

I was down in Long Beach, WA and chickened out of doing that! (Horrific visions of my Rivian stuck, then swallowed by the tide.) Next time, I'll try though–that looks like just too much fun!

Debadgers! I'm looking for a set of rear and side letters. One of my favorite design features is the yellow highlighting on the Rivian letters on the side, and I'd like to do the same on the back. Plan A is to paint the sides, but I have zero faith in my skills there. Plan B is to use the side...

@Tim@XPEL I filled out the form for a front clip install when the program was announced, but haven't heard back yet from an installer. (Seattle area) Should I have been contacted since? Would it help to submit the form again?

I definitely won't admit to stalking my Amazon packages on the off chance that my particular delivery would be delivered by a Rivian Delivery Van–that would be the behavior of a crazy person, right?!? Anyway, after rushing out a couple times only to find a Ram ProMaster idling, I finally caught...

Teddyang’s truck looks good debadged, but carmelbythesea’s Limestone lends itself really well to the clean sheet look. For me, I think it’s the greater contrast between the paint and the plastic. I don’t think my FG would look good debadged.

I think a compelling product would be a Tesla-made charging adapter in the $299 to $499 range that contains all the wireless and authentication electronics that makes the Supercharger network seamless. Use an app on your phone once to configure the adapter your billing info/link your Tesla...

Yep, I agree! It’s just not as tight as the Model Y due to physics.
