No OTA for tire size changes
FYI - just got a call from Rivian to follow up on my request(s) to update the tire size on my truck (went from OE 21ā to OE 20ā). They twice previously told me theyād do an OTA. This call was to let me know that the previous employee was misinformed - presumably then shot and buried in the... -
Rivian R1T tailgate pad installed review: it's a winner (with a caveat)
*Edit (the caveat): the down tube clips loosen on their own after limited driving, and needs to be addressed. I am demoting this from āa winnerā to āa reasonable pad that perfectly fits the truckās tailgate but with one major flawā ā¦ planning to modify the downtube clips to a simple double-ring...- mikehmb

CL ads - careful out there, folks
I was checking to see if my RTT ad was live on CL this morning (it still was) and noticed 3 separate ads for Rivians to transfer their place in line to a new owner. One for ābuy a new R1S for list price and take my place in lineā, another for $10k to buy their place in line, and canāt recall...- mikehmb

Speedo accuracy with 20s
FYI - My truck is configured and programmed for 21s. I swapped 20s with OE tires onto the truck without a reprogramming. The speedo, after the swap, is now dead-on. At 65, after multiple tests in different locations (Sierras, central valley, and all around the bay area) it seems to match...- mikehmb

I did a thing
I finally went for an RTT, and chose the Smittybilt Overlander Gen2 (regular size) since it would fit 3 of us nicely, and fits well enough over the truck bed on the standard racks. I also ordered , but ultimately returned, the Annex. Itās simply too large if youāre mounting the tent over the...- mikehmb

Phone + Audio
So - no idea how it took me this long to figure this out, but now that I have, Iām irritated. When taking a call on bluetooth to a headset (not through the Rivian sound system), audio is totally disabled. Is this new? If not new, is it configurable? Because itās dumb. -

Disable wall charger status lights?
I donāt think this is possible, outside of shoving a black trash bag over my charger, but anyone know of a mechanism to disable, mute, or otherwise mellow the status lights on the Wall Charger?

KO2 size question - anyone running 275/60/20s?
Costco has them for $345/tire right now, and since theyāre the same nominal height as the 21ā tires (which Iāll be swapping back and forth between depending on season and use), seemed like a reasonable idea. Have to imagine theyāll be lighter, and potentially more efficient, than the 65s...- mikehmb
