  1. Calling all R1T roof tent owners

    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...
  2. R1T recovery needed at Salton Sea (stuck in mud). PSA: have a recovery plan when off-roading

    Yeah, sand anchors are pretty amazing if you have a winch! So this one guy is in good shape I guess ?
  3. Officially Unofficial R1T Power Tonneau Cover Redesign Gossip Thread

    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 ?
  4. 5000 Miles of Perfect Operation From My R1T

    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...
  5. R1T recovery needed at Salton Sea (stuck in mud). PSA: have a recovery plan when off-roading

    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...
  6. Driver+ / Highway Assist vs. Tesla Autopilot: An Extensive Owner's Review

    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...
  7. Introducing RMaxx Running Boards & Rock Sliders for Rivian R1T / R1S from Team 1EV

    I'm a designer! Hi mom! ? Thanks for being receptive to feedback!
  8. Car Wash Mode Bug???

    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...
  9. Officially Unofficial R1T Power Tonneau Cover Redesign Gossip Thread

    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...
  10. 1000 mile skiing, ice climbing and camping trip in R1T - interesting notes

    Electric heater or propane? Mind sharing the model? I've been meaning to try ski camping with my RTT and want to try a similar setup.
  11. Car Wash Mode Bug???

    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...
  12. Introducing RMaxx Running Boards & Rock Sliders for Rivian R1T / R1S from Team 1EV

    Like this: (JK ? The ovals are a serious suggestion, I just couldn't help myself...)
  13. Introducing RMaxx Running Boards & Rock Sliders for Rivian R1T / R1S from Team 1EV

    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...
  14. Powered 40 qt Frunk Cooler and 12 gal Water Tank w/ washdown sprayer concept (by @BoxGods)

    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.
  15. Getting phones to stay put on charging pad?

    Should be plenty safe, but also, it's pretty easy to unplug the stock charging pad.
  16. Conserve Mode should only be selected while the vehicle is stopped? (says Rivian Service Center technicians)

    Even this could be governed by software - just wait for the motor torque to ease up before actually disengaging the motors, even after user input.
  17. The good, the bad, the ugly - 2,600 mile round trip Denver to Michigan in the R1T

    Are you on the latest software? I used to have that "leaf blower sound" issue but it completely went away months ago after a software update.
  18. Powered 40 qt Frunk Cooler and 12 gal Water Tank w/ washdown sprayer concept (by @BoxGods)

    There should be no sag issues. The truck auto levels to account for payload distribution.
  19. Keeping my Rivian outside?

    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...
