@bfilippo are you on Heylo? NERC, MARC, and NJRC pretty much encompasses all the goings on in this area.
There's currently an overlanding trip scheduled for May

For better or worse, I think Jazzy sort of relinquished his role informally--he's...
You're conflating two things, by insisting that M-M isn't a protectorate and that you apparently 'signed your rights away.'
To be clear, Magnuson–Moss DOES, absolutely mean:
An OEM cannot deny warranty coverage unless they can show the modification caused the failure.
This is the key legal...
Someone needs to make weather guards (rain deflectors) for the side windows of the R1S.
Why these only exist for the R1T is beyond me! (And my wife is unhappy about it)
Come on Best EV Mod, get these in production and we'll be your first order ;) !!
Moss-Magnusson wants a word.
But for real: the only way a modification can carry *true* warranty risk is 1- it directly impacts the thing suspected to be damaged by it, 2- can be proven (by the manufacturer/service) that it did, in fact impact the part(s)/assemblies in question and 3- your...
Got it! Thanks for clarifying and alleviating my palpitations ;)
I never imagined someone would want to use those bolts for installation. My familiarity is with EV Sportline (mine + my wife's), EV Base (my neighbor), Megawatt (I researched and checked their install instructions before buying...
To clarify: your sliders are using different bolts than those listed in @Dark-Fx 's work order listed above?
Not trying to be a worrywort/freakout, but I sort of assumed most manufacturers were using the same sets of bolts...
WAIT!
Does that mean everyone with running boards are at risk of water ingress to the HV battery???
Because I for sure didn't receive any "Rivian approved sealant" to reapply to any of my bolts to install my sliders.
@EV Sportline any input?
This is probably a community-wide PSA that needs...
I bought these bad boys:

Full Transparency: I've 'test fit' them into the area, but I have a lack-of-popsicle-stick problem at the moment, so I haven't fully installed them. That said, they should fit perfectly, per my...
Man, I must be taking crazy pills. I'm verily surprised by the reception, especially in the first few comments here.
People somehow worried this will somehow negatively impact CAs economy...? Is that right? (Comments about budget surplus and deficits...)
Quick fact check: If California were...
@SwampNut
My favorite magnetics purveyor is KNJ Magnetics, but they do everything imperial.
You suggest 3mm. Is that on the high or low side for clearance?
IE: should I spec a 1/8" thick, or 1/10" thick, based on their catalogue?
FWIW: 3mm = .118"
1/8 = .125
1/10 = .1
So, effectively, I'm...
Surprised to have to come this far into the thread for this to be mentioned. They're marketing this pretty hard: https://rivian.com/events/sxsw
So, FIRST customer drives will be then.
First drives at SCs maybe being predicted for April? Is that the takeaway?
All anyone's ascertained for certain is "Bethel Park where the Bed Bath & Beyond used to be"
I'm not from that area, so I have no idea if that's helpful or not!
At least one user on Discord is familiar with that site and its progress and has confirmed it's coming. So, good news for you :)
(this was a conversation he had with Rivian Service--and shared to the #US-pittsburgh Rivian Discord channel-- when trying to schedule a repair)
I've heard good things about CJs (not necessarily for Rivians, but I had a friend who took his Acura there).
I highly recommend Manheim Tire if you're nearby. They're family run and super awesome. My truck was the first Rivian they ever worked on (PA state inspection, anyway) and they were...
