  1. Nice to Mean - 21's to Black Radius rims, M&S tires and Goatfab rock sliders

    Radius Wheels are available on tirerack com. Not sure if you get free shipping to the islands, but they are among the most affordable options for aftermarket R1 wheels. 276 ea + 300 for four TPMS sensors and black matching valves. The sensors worked perfectly BTW I wanted a 3 peak winter tire...
  2. Nice to Mean - 21's to Black Radius rims, M&S tires and Goatfab rock sliders

    Liking the look too much, maybe I'll have a difficult time going back to the stock wheels and tires, even though I'll likely get a bit less road noise and a bit more range.
  3. Regenerative Braking Too Strong: Dealbreaker for Me?

    We started with a Hyundai Kona. The max regen is not as high as the R1T or you can set it to off. I found I got used to it pretty quickly and with the small car & battery could gain a decent % recharge on downhills. The R1T is more aggressive for sure, for the first couple days I didn't like it...
  4. Bait and switch - frustrated with inability to use music apps without Connect+

    I still like my Rivan, but some of my 2 cents; The way this worked and got cancelled was quite lame in my opinion. So prior to the rollout of Connectplus, I was using the Alexa music app, which seemingly is affiliated with Rivian, since Alexa seems to be integrated into the voice interface...
  5. Second service much better than the first, and got to compare a gen 1 quad, vs my gen 2 max

    Certainly making every single thing optional and extra cost must help. They've limited the wheel selection and really bumped up the price of the off-road package. Personally I've never removed the camp speaker from it's console niche and tested it. Making this a small beverage and snack cooler...
  6. Second service much better than the first, and got to compare a gen 1 quad, vs my gen 2 max

    I had some issues with my 1st R1T service. Some items were still deficient, and some not done, but they went out of their way to satisfy my concerns, including driving a Gen 1 R1T to my work, to swap out my truck and take it for repairs. I'd guess my service loaner to be an earlier R1T quad, as...
  7. Connect+ is Here

    I'm willing to look at the features, to see if it's something I want, or need. I rented a brand new platinum F350 for a week, the sound system quality, OS felt like I stepped back 5 years. The Carplay was on a big screen but also wanting. Maps and interface felt like I had a big VGA monitor...
  8. Worried about buying a Rivian if the company fails

    Good way to try and promote a couple youtube videos I guess. If you are worried, then you should definitely not buy. But before this, I had an F-150 for 12 years that I spent close to 30 K over that time in maintenance and major repairs, including having to replace a timing chain 1000kms...
  9. Rivian Build Quality in 2024 (Out of Spec Detailing)

    I'm pretty pleased with the refined nature of my '24 R1T maxpack. The only thing I've got to get serviced is there is a tiny amount of wind noise coming from the passenger side door at 70 mph speeds. The vampire drain is a known issue, but there is a lot going on communication wise from the...
  10. GOAT Fabrication Rock Sliders (R1S and R1T Available!)

    Picked mine up today, and installed them. The first side took about an hour and a half. The second side, I had down to a science and took only about 45 minutes. Even though I have a good impact gun, I'm not a big believer in using them for everything, especially specialty fasteners and lug...
  11. GOAT Fabrication Rock Sliders (R1S and R1T Available!)

    Thanks for the feedback, mine were drop shipped and picking them up on Saturday hopefully
  12. Agricover Lomax Folding Tonneau

    Thanks for posting your modification. I just installed mine, but will probably do the same rail-mod on the next sunny weekend. Ordered mine from Summit Racing, just because I've ordered a lot of stuff from them over the years and their return policy is among the best. Took me about 45 minutes...
  13. Letter to Rivian: Please Open R3/R3X Reservations

    Sign me up. R3 reservation for my wife which will be bungled by me, in mistakenly placing our deposit on an R3X. After all, being able to climb wheelstops and parking lot curbs is very underrated. So is an under 3 second zero to 60.
  14. GOAT Fabrication Rock Sliders (R1S and R1T Available!)

    I'd like to hear a little feedback from R1 owners who have had these for a while. We get a lot of salt/snow slush in the winter. I don't mind repainting any scuffed up areas due to off-roading but be great to see how they hold up after some rough weather.
