That makes a lot of sense, particularly given that I only recently did the latest OTA update and my tonneau cover is closed 99.99% of the time. I can live with the bug (I just stop the cover manually) until my next trip to the SC.

Thanks. I looked through the manual and didn't see anything, so posted the question. Regarding the lube, two Rivian techs, one at my local SC and the other mobile service, advised me not to use lubricant, though both also said something like like "it probably can't hurt though."

My tonneau cover recently stopped closing properly. The cover opens as usual, that is, jerkily, with a lot of noise, and both stows and stops properly. It no longer closes over the bed correctly however, cycling to the end of the track, stopping momentarily, then moving forward a few inches...

I'm in PA, but this suggestion can work anywhere: get a set of jacking pucks and have your local ICE/tire shop do the rotation. I realize that not everyone has local auto shop that you have confidence (I've been taking my cars to the same shop for years and know that they do good work at fair...

This is far from a unique observation on my part, but the sum total of the present Administration's actions with respect to the complete alternative energy sector is to hand China an easy win in the global market. With regard to EVs, it is stating the obvious to say that China has made a...

I'm seeing pretty much the same thing in my G1 R1T; daily variability in the 1 to 2 per cent range, Gear Guard almost never enabled. This represents a considerable improvement from what I first experienced when I took delivery, in June of last year when the loss was always over 2% and often...

Red Canyon was our first choice for our R1T,, but for various reasons, we went our second choice, Limestone. No regrets and we love the way it subtlely changes shade depending on the light. Don't see a lot of the Limestone on the roads in this neck of the woods, and I guess that won't change...

In the video that @scottf200 posted, RJ makes that point about G1 vehicles.

Even though I live in PA, I spend a fair amount of time each winter in snow country. Lowering your the pressure won't help, but a good set of 3PMSF tires will, and will help even more with braking on snow & ice.

A patch is superior to a plug, from both the safety and longevity perspectives. A plug is constantly being chewed on by the belts it passes through as the tire moves down the road, though many seem to survive that torture for quite some time. A patch is vulcanized to the inside of the tire and...

I agree, but believe that EV sales are likely to be pretty negatively impacted, and that the reduced demand will make it difficult for all producers of EVs, not just the new companies. Ditto for pretty much everthing related to alternative energy. I wrote very long and detailed remarks with a...

Keep us apprised of how things work out @josh0. A couple of questions. It doesn't look like Cascadia makes a Rivian-specific panel - which one is yours? Also, I understand that the solar panel is advertised as being for the hood, but could you have itl do double duty by placing it on the glass...

This may soon change. Rivian is doing a promotional/information gathering tour with a larger Airstream in tow. The idea apparently is as much to get a better feel for towing as it is to make the Rivian brand better known. There is a little bit about the Airstream promo in the R2 video that is...

Warning: not much help. I have both the Rivian-provided NACS DCFC adapter and the A2Z Stellar J1772 AC adapter. The next time I use either will be the first time, but knowing that I have quality components at the ready if and when they are needed is priceless, even if one was gratis and other a...

I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with your Rivian Guide, but will have to say that what you've posted seems to be, at least in my considerable experience, very much out of the norm. I was a 2020 pre-order holder and have been reading and posting on he Rivian forums since spring of that...

Very sorry to hear about your incident but glad that no one was hurt and hope it works out for you in the long run. I know this is small consolation but until recently, I was considered "accident prone" by my insurance company due to two incidents in which my parked cars were hit. One was...

Nice write-up - thanks! I'm a magnet for mosquitos and will give an enthusiastic second on the Thermacell. It's a relavely expensive solution, but it works quite well. We used to do a fair amount of camping with our T@B teardrop, and found that the Gazelle pop-up shelter, combined with the...

This has largely been my experience as well. Admittedly, Rivian's are no longer rare in my neck of the woods (eastern PA), and while I still nearly always wave at when I encounter one while driving in my R1T, there is almost never a response. I've never pulled up next to another Rivian at a...

My R1T is my first EV and since I've only charged at home with an EVSE, or with the mobile charger, I have zero experience with anything other than a J1772 connector. Having never been to a DCFC, I haven't had the pleasure of wresting with a CCS1 cable & connector in sub-zero weather, nor have...

The calculations were right, but I used the wrong percentages in them . . . Thx - corrected,
