  1. JFF: If you see a Rivian, you park next to the Rivian

    The great thing about the 1 up is how fast it is to load and unload bikes and that it just contacts the tires. I have some yakima racks from a prior vehicle. They are nicely made, but they clamp onto the downtube, so you scratch up the frame if you don’t get it clean enough before loading. The...
  2. RockyMounts AfterParty Hitch rack - installed photos & review

    That looks very similar to 1up’s design. Who copied who, or whose patent expired, I wonder.
  3. JFF: If you see a Rivian, you park next to the Rivian

    @sillyME - sure - they are the 1up roof rack trays with lowest profile t-slot mounts. I have since adjusted them a little further back - the back of the trays is now aligned with the back of the tailgate. They worked ok where they were, but the front wheel clamp needed to be no further forward...
  4. Rivian Head of Service Talks Growth With 34 Service Centers Now Open

    Apparently R1T and R1S service is all moving from the Plymouth location to this one in Madison Heights. Personally, I wish Plymouth was still an option. Apparently Plymouth is going to just service Amazon vans going forward.
  5. Recent Rivian factory tour observations on production, shifts, configurations

    I think the Porsche style experience at the factory is a great idea. I recall back in the 90’s when I worked at GM, Saturn had a warranty recall for a wiring issue that could cause a fire in the engine compartment. Conventional wisdom at that time was that the best you could do with a warranty...
  6. Radar Detector hardwire, who has done it?

    Any tips on removing the plastic cover to connect a wire tap? I tried pulling at the front cutout by hand as well as slipping trim removal tools in at the corners and pulling or levering. Tools bend without cover movement.
  7. 2023.14.0 Software Update NICE! New Gear Guard App w/ Drive Cam

    My wife and I are both set up with PAAK. Often it recognizes her phone before mine. She thinks it’s very funny that I have to switch drivers to me to not be squashed into the steering wheel. I don’t know why the truck is trolling me - some side deal she’s made with Kathy, I suspect.
  8. [Update: Made It Out!] Drive Motor Failure During Off-roading Excursion Through Water Crossing

    Maybe this type of software lockout is to protect against a number of mechanical failure modes and they want to be able to inspect prior to re-enabling to prevent catastrophic failures or safety issues.
  9. Took Factory Delivery!

    When passing through IL last month, we stopped to charge in Lincoln at the Walmart EA 350kW charger. We went to Obed and Isaac’s brewpub in town. Good food, great beer and service.
  10. Took Factory Delivery!

    Congratulations. I hope you have the wonderful experience you deserve for your commitment and wait time!
  11. I finally got my camera out and took a few pics!

    Beautiful pictures of a beautiful truck in a beautiful location.
  12. Rivian survey regarding AA/CarPlay

    I thought lack of CarPlay would be a big issue for me and it was an initial source of disappointment. I’m a heavy duty Apple user (iPhone, iWatch ultra, Mac Studio, MacBook Pro, iPad Pro), somfigured this would be a big deal. Now, I’m pretty indifferent to whether it ends up being included. I...
  13. A Week Into Ownership...

    Great looking truck! It’s such an amazing vehicle.
  14. An idiot hit us in “ Small overlap front collision” and I assume totaled my R1T [Updated with pic of damage to other truck ?]

    It’s a minor thing in the scheme of this, but my insurer paid for replacing PPF that I’d had installed on panels repaired on my previous car. It only seems fair that your insurer pay for equivalent protection on your replacement, but obviously will end up being a policy language issue. I think...
  15. An idiot hit us in “ Small overlap front collision” and I assume totaled my R1T [Updated with pic of damage to other truck ?]

    So glad to hear that you and your son are ok and the Rivian protected you both so well. Hopefully the process of getting a replacement won’t be too painful for you.
  16. 2023.14.0 Software Update NICE! New Gear Guard App w/ Drive Cam

    Looks like a great update. I have a service ticket in for some Driver+ and ACC issues that this may address. Hope it rolls out in time to test before service appointment (expect it will). One change that would be great for Driver+ is if it would automatically resume once centered in a lane...
  17. What Recovery Kit to get?

    TACO owners willing to lend you their wench when you’re in a pickle are the best ?
