I've posted pretty extensively about it previously, but I'll link it here and summarize for this thread. I recommend a hardshell tent like the Skycamp Mini or the Condor Overland, or a hybrid tent with crossbars like the X-Cover Mini. They'll be more stable in winds, should be more durable over...
Well, one man's "wasted" is another man's "donated to the aftermarket." Maybe we could convince @builtrightind to built a little lockable compartment that goes there ?
I'm VIN 004xxx. Hit 10,000 miles today as I enter my 9th month with the truck. I've been towing, wheeling, hauling mountain bikes, camping with a RTT, pretty much the whole shebang.
The only (only!) real issue I've had so far is the tonneau cover, which jammed on the first night I had the...
I won't go on sand, mud, or deep snow without my recovery kit (I shelled out for the Rivian Recovery Kit but some soft shackles, a kinetic strap, a tow rope, and a hitch link will do), a shovel, and a set of traction boards. Generally speaking I keep all of the above in the gear tunnel even when...
I have a Model Y with FSD and an R1T. I generally agree with your points and overal conclusions.
I do think Rivian has a couple other minor wins worth calling out as someone who uses these systems a lot for highway driving, but has given up on FSD:
Rivian's following distance and speed...
Yeah, I agree - I certainly expected car wash mode to work.
I turned off prox unlock once they fixed my key fob, I got tired of the lock/unlock cycling every time I hang out near the truck for a while. Don't really miss it at much as I thought I would.
(I wish there was a "lock only" version...
Worth noting that the techs will have a more active rumor mill than we do, but not necessarily a more accurate one.
We'll know the truth when we hear it from the horse's mouth.
I personally will be super upset if they give up on the redesign. Lockable manual is "fine," but I'd expect a...
I've seen the same thing - charging port opens when hand washing (phone in pocket), even while the handles are still recessed. Happened to me two washes in a row.
If I put it in Car Wash mode and then lock it, I don't see the same issue. I wonder if Car Wash mode is really intended for an...
Free design idea (from a PM, so salt like the ocean...): Maybe make the tread pattern cutout an oval to match the proportions of the R1T headlights?
This oval motif is used in a bunch of other places throughout the truck (the "pill" indicators in the HVAC interface, recessed handles on the...
Have you considered moving to something like Kickstarter or Indiegogo where you can get a bit more visibility and harder commitments? That might help make things a bit more "real." The current sign up process is a bit uncertain + relatively high friction.
I installed a carport (cheapo awning-ish aluminum cover from Home Depot that can handle occasional snow load, and helpfully caught a tree for me already this fall…).
I’m not concerned about the elements but I abut city land with hella trees that love to drip sap, larvae, branches, and all...
