While this is commonplace and boilerplate, I agree with the IP that this wording is entirely one-sided and disrespectful of Rivian owners.. There is exactly one place we can take our vehicles for warranty repair work. After you have made the big leap of faith and invested thousands an a new...

Just turned it off on my Pixel by turning of the phone Key Status notification for the Rivian app. That always annoyed me as well. Useless info.

We have an earlier version of that tent from the same vendor. https://a.co/d/089vWhNB At $80 we have no regrets. Is perhaps a 6" long in length, but I would rather have that than too short. Have used it a bunch, but do end up using a conventional ground tent when we spend more than one night...

Autodeflators make this super easy. https://a.co/d/0eDpxOSX Honestly, though, we are on the beach a few times every month. The last 20+ times I have never bothered to deflate, even when recovering other vehicles. Sand mode does the trick.

Would be interested in that. Can you post specifics or links here?

We really should start a class action suit against CoPart for the damage they cause. $5k in repairs every rime they load up a vehicle.

Interesting thing to try. Honestly, my best advice is to upgrade your phone. I struggled quite a bit with older Pixel (especially Phone as a Key). Every one of those issues went away once I got a more modern phone with a better BT stack. Consider spending $80-100k on a new vehicle as...

Quite an undertaking and wonderful write up! Heartily agree with comments encouraging Rivian to better enable/support/allow owner right to DIY repair. My personal experiences with SC is that it is only getting worse. Expect it will really hot a wall if R2 succeeds.

Well, our R1T was t-boned in December. i did notice the tiniest bit of rust on one of the tie downs. It cleaned up easily with brightwork polish and wax that i use on our boat. The black surface had not chipped off, either. I'm under no illusions that these are premium quality. They are...

It is not on sale right now but here are the links at HD and AZN to the one I purchased. https://www.homedepot.com/p/TracRac-TracONE-Universal-Truck-Bed-Ladder-Rack-800-lbs-Capacity-Black-Powder-Coat-Finish-27000B/310215434 https://a.co/d/04SDUQus I have used mine extensively. Drove from...

Yeah, i went through that as well. I'm surprised if your Rivvy hasn't all but shut down. The software is such that Rivians decide to fail completely if there is any hardware error, rather than degrading gracefully. Anyway, my first R1T came from salvage so I know what you are talking about...

We don't have a dog, but purchased this dog hammock / seat cover to protect the back seats. Has worked well for several weeks of camping. YMMV depending on dog temperament. EasyHaWei Dog Car Seat Cover for... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7XZT8W7?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

That's a really nice pack-out for the frunk. Looks absolutely pro! Amazed everything fits so well. (Oddly appealing to my Tetris-trained brain.) Based on another post, we ended up with this fridge from Amazon (now on sale for <$100). https://a.co/d/05iY9x7b Fits well in the frunk or in the bed...

Aside from perhaps autonomy, it would be a step down in capability at an additional cost. (And not the pickup I need.) Have the rez in case my wife or a family member wants to make the jump, but it looks like no takers at this point.

Awesome! I think that might actually make more sense for my setup. I do have the GPS dongle you sent for my Gen 1 R1T, but still have that issue in that Location Services doesn't seem to reliably share GPS data to many apps. (e.g., Google Maps is able to get an initial fix when the app starts...
