Allow me to plug my Thread, here: Initial Comparison of Running Boards and Rock Sliders. Happy for feedback and to revise the table, as necessary. Any missing products?

May I plug (no pun intended) a thread I started at TMC dot com in 2022 all about CCS1-to-NACS adapters? (I didn't foresee at that time that I would someday be promoting such a post to Rivian drivers. But I'm pleased that I can.) As early as 2020, some North American Tesla (distance) drivers...

First, awesome off-road renderings and promotional photos of R2. Second, I note that the location of the charging port is apparently portrayed on different sides in the renderings (rear right) and in the Press Kit photos (left side somewhere, I assume). I realize that these are just renderings...

One valid opinion is that we need more range not because we (as individuals) necessarily need or want more range for ourselves right this moment (although some do), but because we (as a car-driving nation) need greater average range in order to hurry what we hope is the inevitable switch to...

This post was my attempt at thinking about the future with adapters... I'll plug the poll there, which is still working I am happy to say.

I am excited in general about the idea of a new R1S (for me) later in 2025. While at first thinking Dual Max, for the range, I settled comfortably into Tri Max territory, because it comes standard with so many optional features (at an attractive price) that I would have ordered (with the Dual...

Oddly, the reader poll (gauging interest in a potential Rivian sports car) at the start of this Thread seems to have disappeared. I have communicated with Forum management, and the issue is being looked into. If anyone can still see the poll at the start of this thread, please let me know (and...

Disclosure: I have not visited a RAN site (no reason to,...yet). Good point. If the RAN cables are also short and the charge port is on either the front left or front right, it seemingly creates a dichotomy: either (a) good for charging at SCs, bad for charging at RAN or (b) bad for SCs, good...

I believe I read that Porsche (Taycan) has charge ports on both sides? Left side does AC; the right side does DC and AC? BTW, this topic/debate (of where ports are positioned and how it affects Superchargers) is new to me. (The whole analysis with diagrams was as much for me as it was for...

Note: As with some of my other posts, this is primarily intended for people new to Rivian, to electric vehicles (EVs) in general, and/or to the issue of new charging ports for R1 and, eventually, R2 and R3 vehicles. This issue was certainly new to me, so this is my way of learning and then...

Thanks. The photo is so helpful, I added it to the OP.

Yes. The basic "RocK Slider" (with no "kick-out" or step) looks interesting. Claimed to be very strong and protective, and simple, with possibly no loss in aero and clearance? However, from the photo it is unclear to me exactly how they attach as I haven't seen installation instructions or...

Thanks. Over the next week I will try to fill in missing information. Debating whether to add potential "Issues" or just let experienced buyers comment.

In contrast, I may have "no dog in this hunt." (For some reason, I like using that phrase. I'm a cat person. But the phrase "no cat in this hunt" just doesn't have the same panache.) Anyway, I am 6'5", and don't plan to do any off-roading. So I may avoid the extra weight, tiny amount of lost of...

Yes, I know what you mean. Recently dealt with two scammers during my attempt to buy a Rivian (wrist) key band. In contrast, I received a same-day email back from the seller. Seemed legit. (You never know.) Seller seemed appropriately knowledgeable about Rivian stuff. I'm curious about the low...

I gave it a try, here: Initial Comparison of Running Boards and Rock Sliders.

Here is a preliminary attempt at a comparison (inspired by the question, here). Glad to hear from owners and vendors with more info on: additional products, information corrections/additions, additional features, and specific applications (for Rivian car models and generations). Table...

Having developed over a lifetime a level of cynicism and caution about "PR" and advertising by companies trying to get my money, I approached this post and its video with doubts. But you know, it is kind of moving. I think this guy (RJS) is the kind of the real deal. Not perfect (no one is), but...

Some sites to become familiar with: Rivian Tire Guide (super easy to work with) Tire Size Calculator (become a tire change expert in minutes) List of compatible tires (for each Rivian factory wheel diameter) (good with lots of information but can take a little more effort to manipulate)...

I haven't read all responses, so this idea may have already been mentioned? ***** Every once in awhile a cheap item, purchased on Amazon or eBay, turns out to be the best. Having dropped all kinds of stuff between the front driver's car seat and center console in another car, when I got my...
