I'm glad to see the explorations in this space and my hats off to you for getting anything working. All that said, I'm approximately 100% confident that Rivian will do anything and everything they can to break this via OTA if at all possible - if nothing else, for liability reasons. I hope...
Encouraging numbers! We tow a Basecamp 20X (REI) and have pretty similar numbers for a much smaller/lighter trailer; I think it speaks to the importance of aero, the high aero efficiency of the traditional Airstream design, and the impact of the offroad tires and lift on the Basecamp.
In my...
There may be other emotional reasons beyond controlling your own legal recourse, but there really aren't other practical or legal reasons that I'm aware of.
I think folks are misunderstanding the reasons you'd opt out of a class action lawsuit, which largely explain why it's not opt-in.
The system is designed to maximally include members of the class as much as possible, on the assumption that if the defendant is found liable, as many wronged class...
This is normal unless it's running constantly. Anything that adjusts suspension height (changing drive modes, or the "kneel" setting) will make it happen more often, but it's going to happen on most/all drives anyway due to factors others have noted - your car has an active suspension and the...
Start a wifi hotspot on your phone and connect the truck to that, and you'll be able to use the truck's built-in media streaming without a Connect+ subscription.
Alternatively, just use bluetooth audio from your phone.
Tow accessory doesn't fix it, unfortunately - it just turns off the rear prox sensor warnings. (I've been complaining about this for a long time since my bike rack's brake light uses the tow harness.)
I'm sure there's a wire you can tap into if you take enough of the bed liner apart, in the...
This is a bummer. I'll need to carry bikes on the back so an inoperative CHMSL is a dealbreaker for me. Hoping someone is able to give guidance out the wiring soon, I don't mind doing the work but am reluctant to play amateur electrician without instructions.
Do you have the brake light hooked up? If not, did they have any directions/indications on how to do so, or are you totally on your own?
How's the visibility through the rearview mirror? (Bonus for photos)
Have you figured out how to close the tailgate from inside the camper yet? ?
For folks who may be interested, you can buy the alignment jigs from the Rivian certified collision network: https://rivianservicetools.com/Catalog/Search?term=badge+jig
These came in handy when I installed aftermarket blacked out emblems on my truck.
For the "R1T" badge I think you want R1T...
The funny thing is the Incidents view definitely doesn't track yellow lights, so my guess is those recordings are triggered by either hard braking on seeing a light, hard acceleration to clear an intersection, or collision warnings.
I mostly live on L1 charging (1.2kW) at home and that's the absolute lower limit of useful charging for the main pack on the Rivian. The losses are significant, and you're not going to get anywhere with <300W of charging (all that would realistically fit on the tonneau), especially since that...
This is a feature for your safety and legal coverage if something happens. It is designed to record potential accidents, and triggers a local recording to your vehicle/external drive under specific conditions highlighted in the manual including hard braking and safety systems (e.g...
A solar tonneau cover designed to charge the main battery pack is a mostly laughable idea.
But, I'll admit I've been intrigued by solar for far more mundane use cases, like topping off an auxiliary battery in the bed for powering e.g. camp lights or a heated blanket. But most of those imply...
This is an unforced error and the stock was deservedly punished. The key is for Rivian to learn from it both culturally and in terms of systems to ensure it's not repeated – diversifying suppliers, adding internal checks and balances, doubling down on detail and focus, etc. There's no reason...
I'm #2, #39970 at 11:52 am :) Unfortunately I had to pause on this install, I burned too much goodwill buying a trailer last year since it didn't look like any campers were coming to market. I'm still hoping I can get a GFC but I'll watch y'all shake the bugs out first :)
Very interested to see...
