I’m signed up for email notification if there is any activity on the Buick dealer’s appeal of the Superior Court ruling that the Buick dealer had no standing. No updates yet. I know the next approval step is for Rivian to obtain a vehicle repair business license from the Connecticut DMV...

Okay, not particularly creative:

Interesting point about the license plate. For everyone who is going without a front plate on their Rivian, here’s a way to use that second plate! ?

Avoids the aerodynamics range hit and access via a ladder associated with rooftop tents. Downside is you need to detach the tent to open the rear hatch. Pretty cool design. Cost? https://newatlas.com/outdoors/thule-outset-detachable-hitch-tent/...

Delay, delay delay. The Buick dealership’s delay tactics continue - In the latest news, Rivian responds to the Buick Dealer’s argument to the Court of Appeals seeking to reverse the Superior Court’s earlier finding that the Buick dealer lacked legal standing to challenge a zoning approval to...

I just got a windshield crack from a thrown rock with only 200 miles on the odometer. To speed repair, Rivian recommended I have it replaced at a local Rivian certified auto body shop. The shop is getting me in early next week to look at it, then ordering the new shield from Rivian...

Tesla Store to Open on Tribal Land in Connecticut Tesla, frustrated for years by the legislature in its attempts to obtain permission to open stores in Connecticut, is now opening an outlet where the state rules don’t apply: the Mohegan Tribal land. Tribal land exists outside state jurisdiction...

Two plus weeks of ownership and my windshield was chipped this morning by a rock thrown by a lifted jeep on the interstate. Insurance company has Safelite mobile coming next week to do the repair. If a new windshield is needed they will pay for Rivian to replace it.

My shop launch edition R1S in Launch Green that I selected in June was equipped with the Off Road Package - a package that didn’t exist back when launch editions could be preordered. Reinforces the notion that launch edition R1S’s are being built just for sale via the shop.

Last week, when we got our Rivian, I discovered I could not get the “Proximity Locking Off At Home” to work with the Rivian parked in our home detached garage. When I experimented with navigating from our garage to our home address the Mapbox software calculated the Rivian in our garage was 300...

When we picked up our new R1S in Brooklyn last week I noted a cosmetic defect with the grab handle above the left rear door. I waited until Sunday to submit a service ticket for this minor item in case I discovered anything else once I was home and had more time to inspect the R1S very closely...

I am unable to get the “proximity lock/unlock off at home” to work because Mapbox pinned my home address location 300 feet from my detached garage that is “home” for my R1S. I know this because when the Rivian is garaged it calculates the distance to my address is 300 feet. I submitted an...

I have an Overhead Door brand garage door opener. After unsuccessfully performing the second step of the Rivian garage door set up (linking the Rivian to the garage door opener with three successive screen button presses) trying multiple times yesterday I finally gave up in frustration...

I installed the Canvasback cargo cover, two piece tailgate cover set and frunk mat yesterday. This is the version of their cargo cover with the optional flaps that cover the track for the cargo tie-downs. Very nicely made in the U.S.A. and ships with a small bag of dog treats!

Finally!

A bit under $2400 for top quality front end Xpel installation with wrapped edges done by Automobilia in West Haven across the Sound from you. Probably a good regional price comparision from a respected high end Xpel installer.

“ That’s what the US needs. It needs electric mini-trucks that can legally reach 45 mph to more comfortably traverse suburbs and larger city streets. It needs automakers to return to the concept of compact pickup trucks, offering us electric versions that top out at 80 mph yet can haul as much...
