Here's some background info for those new to Rivian and the Gen 1 and Gen 2 wheel-tire differences: Range Against the Machine¹ - Rivian OEM Wheels, Tires, and Range Considered Gen 1 Wheel-sets Gen 2 Wheel-sets (not incl. all Quad Max wheels)

It seems like the major issue with this type of LP holder is careful placement so as not to trigger proximity sensors. Judging from consumer comments at their own site, the BuiltRight (New Milford, Connecticut) product appears to require (partial?) disassembly in order to re-position. If true...

Plug for my RB & RS comparison Thread (and bump for yours): Initial Comparison of Running Boards and Rock Sliders

New product: Rivian R1T and R1S Get Their First Aluminum Running Boards From EV Sportline "...EV Sportline confirmed steel is still required for heavy-duty use." (i.e., for rock sliders) Also: NEW PRODUCT! RMaxx Lightweight Aluminum Running Boards by EV Sportline - The best just got better!

Interesting. Rivian itself may have (accidentally?) perpetuated the idea(/fact/myth?) that certain Gen 1 and Gen 2 wheel-sets are not 100% interchangeable. I and others commented previously on compatibility (or lack thereof), for example here. However, there may indeed be important...

Interesting idea, and not completely outside the realm of possibility. I have absolutely no new definite information to add on this topic. But it wouldn't surprise me if it turns out--after all the early investment in time and effort*--that RJ and other early employees still want to resurrect...

For Rivian R1 drivers--(a) of new vehicles with NACS charge ports or (b) who use NACS-to-CCS1 adapters--who use Superchargers (SC) and who experience difficulties accessing short SC cables, EVSEadapters currently (as of 10/13/25) has Supercharger extension cords in stock. They are 15-feet long...

I have finished all 10 episodes. Good news and bad news (from a Rivian standpoint). Very interesting travel documentary about parts of the world that don't always get a lot of attention (e.g., the Arctic areas, eastern Europe). The interactions with people are, once again, very engaging. Made...

Interesting and informative conversation/debate. I tried to foresee (for people new to EVs, Rivian, or the issue) what might be in store here: The Possible Future of Charging Adapters?, . . . plus The New Rivian NACS Port--Where Should It Be Located? The issue of whether the J3400 charging...

There will be 10 episodes. Five so far. New episodes arrive every Friday.

As others may have reported (?), the new "Long Way" series is now available to watch/stream on: Apple TV+ Amazon Prime Video The motorcycles are old ('70s) and gasoline-powered (Boo!) but the support trucks are Rivians (Yeah!). The area traveled is in Europe. I may eventually add some...

Not to spend your money, but by having 20" and 22" wheels, you could perform an important(?) experiment: Test mileage/range with 20" road tires against mileage/range with identical 22" tires. Besides the expense and effort involved, the trouble is there are few, if any, single tire models...

Several possible sources of wheel/tire info contained within this: "Rivian OEM Wheels, Tires, and Range Considered".

Interesting. For drivers new to Rivian or to Rivian Forums, info about Rivian wheels/tires: "Rivian OEM Wheels, Tires, and Range Considered".

If it is true that, mechanically/electronically: Generation 1 R1T fob = R1S fob (interchangeable) and Generation 2 R1T fob = R1S fob then it seems to me that Rivian has made things more complicated than necessary. Why not just sell the fobs from a particular generation with some kind of...

The USA is so polarized right now. 1. 49.5% prefer the CCS1 charge standard. 2. 49.5% use the SAE J3400 charge standard. 3. 1% own 1973 AMC Gremlins. When will our Nation heal?

OK, this is very upsetting, as it completely destroys my carefully-constructed fob analysis here. The pillars of Rivian fob information have been shaken to their foundations. Given this, has anyone actually tried to pair a Gen 2 fob to a Gen 1 vehicle? (Or Gen 1 fob to a Gen 2 vehicle?) Is...

Interesting. I, too, am interested in when Rivian will start outfitting R1 vehicles with SAE J3400 charge ports. To help (me) understand what a switch in ports might mean, I developed a tabular analysis with the idea of present, transition, and future adapter needs (The Possible Future of...

As of 10:27 AM PST only R1S fobs are currently available. (When available, they sell out quickly. Are the fobs being hand-made one at a time by elves at the North Pole?) This reminds me of trying to buy certain desirable Tesla accessories from the online site. Tesla has an email alert system...

Interesting news: It appears Rivian may have provided support vehicle(s) again for a new "Long Way..." TV travel-documentary series (Source; thanks, @SDH). I had recently seen that Ewan (age 54) and Charlie (age 59) are again braving the road with motorcycles (always dangerous), but because the...
