Worked perfectly. No issues. Insurer wrote a check promptly for a new R1T (minus cost of my deductible and my aftermarket tint/PPF :-( 2nd time I got a G2 with the new tonneau cover (details in my signature). Insurer: Nationwide thru Rivian. Insurance of any kind is very expensive in Florida...

Since this RA update, Universal Hands-Free (UHF) is no longer usable for me and I will likely not continue my subscription on that. The ‘keep your eyes on the road’ warnings which had finally become better, usable, and fairly reasonable with the previous updates are now virtually constant in my...

You may have got away relatively unscathed. But time will tell… I thought my R1T held up well considering a 40 mph impact from a Silverado while stopped at a traffic light… but alas, was totaled. They are tough trucks, but expensive to repair. Full replacement car insurance - best $28 annually...

FYI, Nationwide covers for first 3 years. If you can get it. Not available in all locations, apparently.

Sorry man, that sucks. If you don't have the coverage, I suggest 'New Car Replacement'... for next time. Best $28/year I ever spent in my life when my 2024 R1T was rear ended by a Silverado. Never had that coverage in my life until I got my Rivian. A quick $100K check from the insurance and now...

Uh, yeah. That is the one I mentioned ;-)

Not wanting to hijack the thread, but given all the input on EREVs being a compromised approach for vehicles (esp. towing vehicles), does the brain trust here think the ‘EREV-ish’ approach for RVs is workable? The plan seems to primarily be that the integrated generator would be used to recharge...

Yes, the Blaupunkt e-biles are 47 lbs, but I pull the batteries reducing them by 5 lbs. I considered both the Urtopia Fold and Carbo folding models which are indeed lighter, which would be really great. But the Urtopia is 19" wide folded; the Carbo is 23" (both per manufacturer's specs at...

Sometimes, sure. But I am pulling a Pebble trailer - truck hitch is occupied. The 1.25” hitch receiver on the rear of the trailer is not beefy enough for my tastes to handle 2 e-bikes due to the physics the rear of the trailer experiences. Besides, out of sight means weather protection and theft...

This may be of little interest to many, but for me it is a big deal. I have been researching folding e-bikes for 2 years trying to find one for camping trips where the WIDTH, when folded and laid on it's side, would fit in the bed of my R1T and still allow my V2 tonneau cover to fully close. It...

As I noted elsewhere: A lot to like with the Evotrex. Except production start expected late 2026. First deliveries 2027. If they deliver on time and features and price doesn’t change, could be a real contender. All Chinese R&D, manufacturing, and financial backing. ‘Squirrel Power, Ltd.’ Guess...

On an ICE Ridgeline a few years back had similar symptoms due to water ingress into a wiring harness (not from rodents, but could also be that).

Yep... definitely feeling left out here as well :-(... so much for having Connect+

It seemed like there was a fair amount of clearance allowing movement (but I did not try to remove it after install). You MIGHT be able to slide the mat back in from the front, longways.
