  1. New Rivian Service Center Map - Including Future Locations

    Upstate NY is good, but I think that Rochester and Albany would give much better coverage, and be able to cover northern NY and much of Vermont to boot. Of course, I'm being completely impartial here. :p
  2. SNOW MODE & other nice upgrades coming in Rivian Software Update 2022.47 ❄️

    Thanks, cohall, for the timely holiday news. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! ?âť„ ?âť„?âť„
  3. Which music streaming service(s) would you like Rivian to add?

    Rob, you are really dedicated to getting the best information! I wasn't about to tear my shark fin apart.
  4. Which music streaming service(s) would you like Rivian to add?

    Good question. I understand that, which is why I would like to see SXM satellite as an option over all the cellular options, although I have no idea if Rivian could even support the service in the vehicle. I realize that the poll was initiated about streaming options, but they (and terrestrial...
  5. Which music streaming service(s) would you like Rivian to add?

    I recognize that this poll was about streaming, but I'm curious if the circuitry is in the car to support SXM satellite radio. I travel a lot in the mountains where there is no (and I mean absolutely none) wireless service, but I used to get SXM satellite just fine in my previous ride. I...
  6. Rivian R1T Cab Wall MOLLE Panel Install Guide // BuiltRight Industries

    I installed this rack last week and agree with your positive assessment of the manufacturing quality, packaging, and documentation. For me it is the perfect spot to mount a couple of Maxtrax Extreme recovery boards to keep in the vehicle all winter. I even had enough room to add the small...
  7. Rodent chewed through wire harness, causing $7K repair (and $1650 towing)

    Rodents will chew on any type of wiring (and no, I don't know why). I had a 1985 Honda Civic (no soy-based wiring) in which mice ate through wiring as well as heater ductwork, etc. My neighbor in the 1990's had a brand new GMC SUV daily driver that required a new wiring harness due to mice...
  8. Can anyone make a call using Alexa on their Rivian? Mine does not work even with the new software update version.

    Alexa works very well for me almost all the time, but I occasionally get a glitch where she gets stupid. A simple infotainment reset cures any problems I have seen. When I say "call Mary", Alexa will respond with "Did you mean Mary Smith?" if Mary Smith is the particular Mary that I call...
  9. Truckee CA Rivian Charging Station Now Open

    I vote for northern NJ so I can get down to the Jersey shore. :sun:
  10. Guard those windshields!

    New York is one of the states where auto insurers must provide 100% glass coverage with $0 deductible. I seem to remember that New Jersey was the same way when I lived there many years ago, but I don't know what the status is now.
  11. Guard those windshields!

    I also took a really loud rock hit to the R1T windshield last weekend on an interstate, but luckily no visible damage. I've had other windshields crack in the past when I barely heard the hit, so I'm resigned to believing that a crack randomly depends on how and where the rock hits the...
  12. Regenerative Braking and motion sickness

    I agree with SlaterGS completely. My R1T is my first EV, but I've driven 500K miles on manual transmissions, not to mention many hours on hydrostatic drive tractors. My first few days with standard regen were still not very smooth at times - old habits die hard. The worst was when I was...
  13. Red Canyon / Ocean Coast R1T with XPEL OEM PPF, tailgate partial de-badge, and bumper vinyl wrap

    Great chart to explain this - thanks! The protruding gloss black bumper is part of the OEM PPF package, but the silver trim piece underneath is what was vinyl wrapped.
  14. Red Canyon / Ocean Coast R1T with XPEL OEM PPF, tailgate partial de-badge, and bumper vinyl wrap

    This is my first experience with PPF, so I don’t have a lot to compare to. Most of the edges are wrapped and overall I think that it looks great. The installer has a complimentary follow-up wash and inspection scheduled in 2 weeks and there is one corner wrap that I will ask them to improve...
  15. Maintaining Ocean Coast Interiors & Seats Clean?

    Sorry for the misunderstanding. OC has the same tinted roof glass as BM, but my comment refers to the fact that there is no sun-shade to help further reduce IR radiation in the summer. Dark upholstery definitely gets hotter that light in my experience.
  16. Maintaining Ocean Coast Interiors & Seats Clean?

    I went changed configuration several times between Black Mountain and Ocean Coast during the year I waited for my truck. Settled on OC due to the unshaded glass roof and fact that it looks more like a light gray than white. I also prefer the dark wood with OC to the original light ash. I love...
  17. RED CANYON Rivian Photos

    Got my truck back from a local Xpel detailer yesterday and tried to get some photos before the rain hit too hard. Had the following work done: Xpel Rivian-OEM full front PPF Xpel custom PPF on headlights, front light bar, upper tailgate, rocker panels, and door sills One-step paint correction...
