So I applied the T Wraps "Satin Black" SPOKES VINYL COVERS today. I like the look WAY better than with the milled Finish look. I thought it's worth a Poll:
What do you think is better:
Darkened Finish or Milled Finish.
Rivian could save a step in making the wheels by just skipping the milling IMO.
So just had this delivered today. It's a way for me to hold all my crap. Not sure I'm leaving it in frunk, may end up in tunnel. Hood closes fine, about the right height, no higher IMO.
Heytrip Large Trunk Organizer With Built-in Leakproof Cooler Bag.
Issue: Plugged in @ Home in driveway today at 1730, charging started as soon as I plugged in.
Concern: I have set the vehicle to charge between 0030 and 0630.
Detail and maybe problem: home is set to an address and my driveway/charger is 150' from address location in Nav. So the Dirty Bastard...
For your consumption. This is a Yeti Roadie 24. Bought because it fits wife's wine bottle standing up. Barely, just barely fits under tonneau cover, so much so that cover rests on the cooler. Other cooler fit "questions" or ideas? I have a Pelican 70Qt and an Igloo Trailmate on wheels - not a...
Had my T delivered yesterday. Driver, David, was a great guy and very helpful. But per the title, he mentioned the other tenant at Dabney road has left and now Rivian has the whole building to themselves. Since they are solo now, also adding more service bay/s and maybe some customer area...
The story does not refer to RAN, but they're Rivian and paid for by Rivian:

Has anyone, or could someone, taken a 21" wheel off their R1T to weigh it? I know the 21" factory tire weighs about 37 lbs. This will factor into my choice of alternative road tire for the 20" wheel.
We know the 20" AT combo weighs around 88lbs, tire is 49 lbs, wheel is 39lbs, thanks to...
You can do your own search for details but found this last night - Patents have been issued for front bumpers with a winch (fairlead), and one with-out a winch. Winch bumper picture attached.
Curious - can they power a winch from the HV battery? I'm sure they can but how complicated would it be...
There is a large industry within the ICE pickup community for making leveling kits for 4WD pickups. Reason: OEM seems to always make the front sit lower than the rear by maybe 1 to 2 inches. Personally, hate that unlevel look. Does the R1T sit level or is it lower in front? If not level...
So is Samsung SDI battery supplier for the first batches of vehicles? Anyone have a snapshot of the battery label as it sits post-delivery? Where are they made, city and state, what is the full capacity in kWh and what is the user able to access?
