Warning for anyone who bought the @EV Sportline Rivian specific 6-ton bottle jack...go check on it.
I bought the EV Sportline jack March of 2023. Rivian wasn't selling spare kits at the time so I built my own. Never used the jack once, but put it in my R1T spare compartment in case I needed it...
I've been doing some research ahead of my decision and purchase. There are a lot of great options. I thought I'd share here and see if there were any other thoughts/considerations or options I'm missing.

Price - $1000, but $1300 to $1500 shipped depending on location (1300 on west...
I’m getting two somewhat similar noises under two different conditions that I’m trying to figure out on my quad motor R1T.
On rare occasions I’m getting a rapid knocking noise during hard acceleration. Sound is mostly coming from the front. I don’t get it every drive and sometimes it will...
Dont shoot me, this is a pro-Rivian R1T post…
I’ve had an R1S reservation for about a year with the plan to replace our existing ICE SUV as our family / wife-primary vehicle as soon as my reservation becomes an order. An all Rivian household in months was the plan. But after 7 days, multiple...
After about 4 miles on 2023.38.0, my R1T infotainment screens rebooted while driving. This is the first time this happened in 6.5K miles and 9 months of ownership.
I was going slow at the time but was still a bit scary. I had the new info gauges up on the center screen and had music playing...
I've been looking for options for an EV family hauler. I have an R1T, so zero need for another "adventure" vehicle. Was considering Model Y, but I need a bit more size. Model X was too expensive, and I was not considering it. The Volvo EX90 looks like an option but not clear what the price will...

I just got a text that my GLS shipment is arriving today. I had no idea what GLS was but apparently it's used for both parcels and freight delivery. I'm not expecting any deliveries, so not sure what it is. My past Rivian deliveries came via UPS not GLS. Anyone see Rivian use GLS? Really hope...
I finally made it to Pismo Beach. The Oceana dunes just opened and the CA park rangers are giving cars instructions on how to cross the creek. One of the park rangers is talking to me at my window while I’m in park. To my horror, the jeep wrangler 2 car lengths in front of me begins to quickly...
So we are having some heavy storms in LA. Power has been out for a few hours and the estimated time for it to come back on is 12 to 24 hours. I’m not even 2 weeks into ownership and my R1T is saving me. I’ve got an extension cord running into the house. The only house on the street with lights...
I just picked up my 2023 mid 18000 vin R1T and to my surprise it has a 12 volt DC outlet in the frunk! I said to the service guy "I thought they removed these months ago?" and he replied "yep, they did. you must have an older build." I pointed out the 2023 on the sticker and the Vin and he...
So after they killed the Power Tonneau I never went in and changed my config to manual. I got my delivery window yesterday and it’s a lot sooner than I thought (Feb-March 2023). My Power Tonneau still shows in my config and because the email sent yesterday states that if you update your config...
I'm super lazy when it comes to washing my cars, so a color that can hide dirt well is pretty important. My current car is white specifically because of that. I had a black car (which I actually think looks best brand new and clean) before that consistently looked terrible with dirt and paint...
