You certainly have a very specific type. Makes me wonder if all your ex-girlfriends look like your wife, or maybe your wife resembles your vehicles? But I’m not going to go there.
Beautiful R1S, congrats!
Here is an article from yesterday detailing the truck. Biggest mod outside of stripped and roll cage were Hawk brakes.

I will add that this solution only came to me after one of my kids dumped a gallon of water out in the back and all the water came pouring out the bumper. I had the ah ha moment that it must have openings for water to drain or that would be a really bad design.
Sorry for the snark, I admit I don’t have an R1T, but at least with my similarly designed vehicle, that channel opens on the ends and debris could be pushed out that way. It lands in the bumper and can be vacuumed or blown out.
My crappy original attitude aside, I do recommend the vacuum as...
My 2001 Land Cruiser has the same problem every time I get soil, rock or mulch, solution is often referred to as a vacuum. Air from an onboard compressor might work as well. Hey, don’t Rivians have an onboard compressor? The simple solution is often the best solution.
Any chance you kept track of all your charging stops and would have that available? I am doing Denver to the MA/RI border next weekend. Would be super helpful to know the good and bad stations you visited. Thanks for sharing your experience, I am trying to do it in roughly the same amount of...
Is Jewell Collision the same as Jewell Body and Paint? If so, it’s only about ten minutes away from me. If I’m thinking of the right place, they don’t have much parking. Did they park it right out front? I’m sure I can find a few minutes tomorrow morning to swing by and do a little...
Seems to me that they are operating effective triage.
You said yourself that your issue is minor and not affecting your ability to use it. You also said you would sell it if you had a major issue and had to wait a month for service.
So you really should be happy they are pushing minor...
Yeah, that’s out of my price range for a rack but it does look perfect. I have decided to start with a 49”x84” Yakima lock n load platform attached to the crossbars. Got 20% off with the REI members sale so I figured it was a good place to start. I also have all Yakima accessories and they...
I have had the same experience. I am trying to plan a 2000 mile road trip and I have found ABRP to be less than ideal at locating stations that are functioning properly. When I crosscheck ABRP choices against PlugShare user check ins, I find they are sending me to underpowered stations with no...
FWIW, I have an 115XX VIN that is my desired build and it has the underbody shield. I was given an august/September delivery in April and out of the blue it was ready in early June. Picking up July 1 for state EV credit purposes.
