  1. How to remove the rear wheel liner and trim?

    Just to update. I did remove the rear wheel well and trim. It was pretty straightforward and easy. No sensors to deal with. It allows access behind the wheel and there is a sheet metal bulkhead that the PDR person will need to drill a small hole in to access the far rear end of the truck...
  2. PHOTOS: Trip to Morro Rock and Pismo Beach!

    Am I the only one who is appalled by the gear tunnel door creasing? WTF? This is a $90K truck. It should be able to withstand someone opening and closing the gear tunnel doors.
  3. Bungee Cords, Straps, Rope, Oh My! (tying down loads in the bed)

    I used to use ratchet straps all the time, but no longer. The best advice I can give is to buy yourself some paracord and watch a few videos on how to tie a trucker's hitch. It's the most useful skill you'll have for owning a truck. I can tie down and secure anything in less time than it...
  4. Tire wear condition at 15k miles, 10 months (photos)

    How are people who are doing their own rotations lifting the truck in so many points as to rotate the traditional rear tires to the front and front tires to the rear in a cross pattern? How many jacks are you using? I feel like I'm missing something here. I have one floor jack and four jack...
  5. Tire wear condition at 15k miles, 10 months (photos)

    Is the generally accepted practice to rotate at 5K miles with a straight front to back rotation?
  6. Ultimate MTB / Bike Carrier installed

    OP here. For the reasons you outlined, I did have PPF installed on my tailgate, which didn't cost much. I haven't noticed any nicks, dings or even dirt on the tailgate, so not sure the rear tires kicking up road debris is even an issue. My buddy has the same Ride 88 setup and he chose not to...
  7. Wind depresses hood

    I will do that, but is there also a redesigned seal for the hood that fixes the problem?
  8. "Brutally honest" BuiltRight Industries License Plate Mount Review

    I don't have the BuiltRight license plate product, but did install their Rivian-specific MOLLE panel on my truck and I have to say I am so impressed by the engineering and quality of their product. I have no affiliation with the company, but want to give credit where credit is due.
  9. Nervous about Rivian purchase as date draws nearer

    I also have a Cybertruck reservation placed on day two. Have had my R1T since June. It hasn't been perfect, but service is pretty good about addressing whatever issues I've had. As a former very happy Model 3 owner, the Rivian is just a much better, higher-quality vehicle. I suspect the CT...
  10. Wind depresses hood

    I have this same issue on a 12/22 build. To be clear, is the fix a new seal or a new hood or additional epoxy or a combination of these? I have an appointment with service for this, but just wanting to be sure I know what to ask for.
  11. How to remove the rear wheel liner and trim?

    Do you need to remove the panel up against the cab wall before you can remove the side panel?
  12. How to remove the rear wheel liner and trim?

    I have a small door ding just behind the rear passenger side wheel. My dent repair guy said he can fix it if he can access it from behind, which means removing the rear wheel liner. I can't find anything online about doing that so thought I'd ask here. Has anyone removed the rear wheel...
  13. Medical fridge recommendation for front lower console or gear tunnel?

    I have the Iceco GO20 and love it. It does fit in the gear tunnel and I've read others can access it from the opening in the rear seat, but I've done that. I like easy access, so I've just put it on the back seat.
  14. Alternative to Rooftop Tent -- Crua Culla Insulated Air Tent in R1T bed

    Found a great (and much less expensive) option to a rooftop tent. This is the Crua Culla. It's insulated and its structure is inflatable, so can be set up with no poles or stakes in about 30 seconds using the Rivian's onboard compressor. The tent fits the bed perfectly. It has tent-stake loops...
  15. Are these commonly reported issues / problems still a thing?

    No one is going to be able to give you a definitive answer, but I know many people with R1Ts, I maintain connections with service techs and I read the forums pretty closely. Anecdotally, I think the issues have gotten way better. The wind noise issues are exponentially better than they used to...
  16. Home Solar Battery and V2H

    With V2H, can the power the solar panels generate during the day be pushed to the truck's battery for later use, or is V2H one way, meaning that the truck battery can only push to the house?
  17. Home Solar Battery and V2H

    With rumors of Rivian enabling V2H in the near future, I wanted to ask the mindhive for their thoughts on my situation. I have a 7.5kWh Tesla solar panel array on my house, but I do not have any batteries connected to the system. Given my state is soon moving to NEM3, I was considering...
  18. My First and Likely Last Post

    I've had my Rivian since June and I've had my share of issues with it, but nothing that Rivian hasn't been quick to fix for me -- and I live 200 miles from the nearest service center. I came to the Rivian from Tesla and unlike a lot of Rivian owners, I remain a massive Tesla fan. Before the...
