Simply focus on the exhaust tailpipes as you drive and breath in deeply, that is not a generalization, it’s reality!! Just because it doesn’t stink real bad is not black in color does not mean it’s okay for your lungs!! Stop being lemmings, sheep, parrots … Focus on the tailpipes and think...

That is exactly what I am talking about! You cannot financially justify ICE over EV

Pretty much nothing manufactured is clean! ICE vs EV manufacturing impact is probably a wash. My comments are squarely directed at the continued absurd burning and spewing of toxic particle filled exhaust from billions of ICEs every day. The thousands of tanker trucks hauling toxic gasoline to...

EV are much more than a gadget! Every time you start and ICE you spew toxic crap into your air and everybody else air. You fill your tank with a toxic explosive that is sloshed, leaked all over the country. Justifying an ICE financially is selfish, short sited and plain ignorant. Next time you...

I am puzzled by Rivian’s decision to not have running boards initially and then to have not addressed it with a retrofit. I use the kneel mode which helps but is still not enough. My concern with constant kneeling is the wear on the air suspension. Today is the day that I will install my EV1...

Thank you for sharing your experience! ?

Stevetom84 and camaroz1985 thank you for your replies. I agree with what you have said but was hoping to hear from someone that has had direct experience post running board install with Rivian service. I have my EV1 running boards ready to install and I fully accept having to potentially remove...

Has anyone had any issues with Rivian warranty post running board install?

What is the torque spec for the body bolts? Thank you
