I recently posted "Want to Buy" ads in a few places on the Internet*, asking to purchase a Rivian Key Band (aka "Wrist Band," "Wrist Key," etc.). The wisdom of buying such a (relatively expensive and arguably notorious) gadget aside, within a relatively short time I had to deal with two...

Note: Question 9 in the Poll above should read: "I plan to buy a Rivian R2 (2026) or R3 (2027) with NACS charge-port. ***** This post is mostly aimed at folks still new to electric-car charging. Developing it helped me--and I hope will help others--better understand adapters required for...

Currently, something like 29 or 30 states and three Canadian provinces (and possibly the Mexican states and territories?) require front license plates (LPs) on certain vehicles. At some point in the buying/delivery process many customers must decide whether to have front LP mounts installed by...

*** Will flexible magnetic signs adhere firmly to the front outside door panels (of a Gen 2 R1S)? *** In other words, is the sheet metal used to form the exterior doors magnetic (e.g., a steel or other ferrous compound)? Update: Answer Appears to Be NO. If the door panels are aluminum, then...

Note: I wanted to post this at "BestEvMod Key Fob Cover for Rivian R1T & Rivian R1S," but that Thread is closed. Moderators: Feel free to move this to a better forum, as appropriate. ***** I happened upon this Rivian key fob leather cover. (Same product here, and mentioned here.) Judging by...

Besides functional (and often expensive) accessories (like wheel-tire sets, running boards, etc.), I'm also occasionally interested in purely cosmetic stuff--like brake caliper colors and--of all things--tow hook covers.* One day I saw a photo of a Gen 1 Quad with yellow brake calipers and...

Concerning genuine Rivian key-fobs: Can a fob be programmed to work with either an R1T or an R1S? (Or are they model-specific?) Will a fob work with both a Gen 1 and a Gen 2 vehicle? (Or are they generation-specific?) Concerning the key-fob in the photos, is there any way to judge the...
