  1. Comparing consumption: Jeep Wrangler vs. Rivian R1T

    This is Chicago on a hot day mid July. My Rivian charges from 10p-3a and my wife's Tesla charges from 3a-6a.
  2. No OTA for tire size changes

    Has the consensus been that doing so only slightly impacts odometer/range accuracy? Driving performance is unaffected?
  3. No OTA for tire size changes

    I also would like to change down to my 20in wheels for the Chicago winter (from 22). The CS rep said no mobile service appointments in Chicago any time soon and that he would look into allowing an OTA update after i did the swap myself. As already reported here he came back said no-go - that's...
  4. Dead pedal factory protective plastic -- how to completely remove?

    Thanks for the input. Here's what I used. Steamer and trim tool to remove plastic. Mild citrus type Goo Gone for remaining glue. I avoided the stronger solvent based adhesive removers (like Goof Off in a metal can) for fear of discoloring the plastic.
  5. Cloudy backup camera

    I’m the original poster. I’ve had 2 cameras replaced now for water in the lens. It took longer than expected for both because water traveled up and rusted the wiring harness. I asked them if there was a lack of sealant somewhere and they said no just bad batches of cameras.
  6. Dead pedal factory protective plastic -- how to completely remove?

    The dead pedal on my R1T shipped with tons of fragments of protective plastic that are very difficult to remove - thin plastic and lots of adhesive. The delivery team obviously couldn’t get it off either. This has been there for 20,000 miles and I just got around to the milder goo gone and a...
  7. Nav Map Townships

    In Illinois no one ever refers to what township they are in. Multiple towns and cities are in each township. When I search for things like a post office, it tells me the township, but not the town or city. This is odd. I have never seen this in an online map. In the above mentioned search...
  8. Rock stuck under auto tonneau cover cap

    For those that encounter this maybe this will help. There's enough flex in the cap for it to get in there so theres enough to get it out.
  9. Rock stuck under auto tonneau cover cap

    Maybe I need to remove the entire trim cap on one side of the bed to get to one side of fasteners to raise up the cover enough?
  10. Rock stuck under auto tonneau cover cap

    So far my auto cover has worked ok. But now there is a rock stuck under it that creates a new scratch the length of the cover every time i open it. I haven't been able to find any threads or videos on opening up the cap. Just pry? Are there fasteners?
  11. Towing a 7,000lb travel trailer for 500 miles with R1T

    Nice write-up. Was there a primary charging provider that you utilized in that part of the country? EA? Chargepoint? What kind of charging rates were you finding? Hopefully in the 150 + range - I imagine any 50KW chargers would be painful having to stop that frequently..
  12. I towed a car trailer over 1800 miles with my R1T

    Thanks for this informative post. Can you comment on the tongue weight? I realize moving the position of the car changes the tongue weight, but how did you determine the ideal weight? The maximum tongue weight for the truck? Or were you somehow able to determine that the weight of the car...
  13. Charger Handle Locking

    From what I can tell the Rivian charger handle on my wall charger in my garage only locks during actual charging when the car is locked - not when charging and unlocked, and not when locked and finished charging. Is that what others experience? This is different from my Tesla charger handle...
  14. Show off your dashcam memory card install

    Ive never used a dash cam. So will the software rewrite over the oldest footage continuously? Or will we have to manually dump when the disk gets full? If there is a constant rewrite you might not have to get such a big memory card correct? Just pull it after an "incident"?
  15. Rivian Provides (mild) Update on Dashcam and Power Tonneau

    Yes this makes the most sense. Maybe they are working on an app for the watch which obviates the need for a wrist band.
  16. trouble installing cross bars

    Thank you. Have you adjusted them? I unfortunately only brought one today. Did you find any sources for how to do it? If not I will just wing it and am sure i can figure it out on the other one.
  17. trouble installing cross bars

    I am having the same problem and am sitting in the SC right now. The advisor said that the rubber boot by the bar latch mechanism can be removed and there are a few allen screws which can be used to adjust something like the pitch/yaw/roll of the mechanism. He said sometimes it takes a few...
  18. Any recommendation for washing?

    If you are in the west suburbs the best automated car wash is Fullers in Countryside as you may be aware. Their employees drive your car through the wash. And they do a significant vacuum before and window wash after. As and aside, I recently took my Jeep Wrangler (with steel bumpers thank...
  19. Half Shaft / CV Joint Noise

    I am experiencing this issue now. Did this issue ever return for you? Maybe I should try a reset?
  20. Half Shaft / CV Joint Noise

    My driver side roof speaker is buzzing now also. Blown? Curious if you ever got resolution on this?
