I'm starting to salivate a little over the Voltaic wheels in bronze on my new Red R1T. Anyone have bronze wheels on their red truck they want to share?
I don't want to alarm anyone, or cause marital strife, or otherwise bankrupt people ... but there are a handful of 2026 Canyon Red R1Ts available in the shop, should you be so inclined (at least from my zip code).
Why do I know this? Because I just reserved one.
(long story, but I very much...
Sold my Gen1, and about to order a new s00nish Gen2 pad (they're excellent). Thankfully, I remembered at the last second to remove the charging pad and replace the OEM one.
Included are 2 Qi2 charging pucks (recommended by s00nish) already installed. New condition - used 2 months prior to...
Someone a while back was asking about how well the Kuat works on an R1S. I had a Kuat, but only recently switched from a T to an S.
Short answer: works great. Pics below in the event anyone was on the fence.
Just got back from a road trip from the Bay Area up to Ashland, OR for some mountain biking, which was awesome.
TL;DR - efficiency on the new R1S Gen2 with 22" brights was not great, though I did have a bike rack and 2 MTBs back there. And battery preconditioning doesn't seem to work. Also...
While I don't expect to need it, I'd like to know how to escape the rear seat if the power is cut.
Manual says to remove the panel next to the handle, but is that a destructive removal, or is there some sort of way to easily take it off? Because I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do...
Ok, through a series of questionable life and career decisions, I'm a security person, by choice. You can decide if it was a good or bad choice, but I have less hair and a twitch in my left eye after many years of this stuff.
I'm intrigued by MFA in the truck's new SW update. It's a clever...
After 5 days parked with GG on (in a high traffic area), I came back to borked Apple Music.
Multiple resets but no success.
Anyone get bizarre behavior recently?
Service engaged, 60 day plus wait. Somehow this pisses me off more that bad half shafts.
For anyone that has had half shafts replaced on a Quad - are you hearing less motor whine (or at least what I assumed was motor whine) than before? I'm either going deaf (possible - kid is a drummer) or there's a marked improvement.
I just got my R1T back after a medium stint at the South SF service center.
First off - major shout out to them, again. They're consistently wonderful people and great to work with, and the communication was pretty good through the process. The truck was there a total of 2 weeks. It was...
Update - I got a new tonneau, but it is a 1-1 replacement for the one I had. Not the rolling type. It's MUCH quieter now so I'm happy with it, but goes to show that "V2" isn't necessarily the same thing depending which service intake person you speak with.
Happy there's resolution, teeny bit of...
Heads up to anyone else thinking of bringing their truck in to remove the wiggle-squeaks ... jounce lines are 2 weeks lead-time, best-case, right now. Mine is in for other non-catastrophic stuff I've been putting off, and I threw this into the ticket to get it taken care of.
If you get an...
After the .10 update landed, I was logged out of Tidal, but not Apple Music.
However, Apple Music refused to load any content. I was still, ostensibly, logged in - tried a soft reboot, didn't help. Once I force logged out (which took several minutes) and logged back in, it was fine.
Just FYI...
I'm one of the few that doesn't have a problem with the nav, since it's generally accurate. This is not to discuss generally UX complaints - instead, it's a specific calculation error.
However, I am planning a trip across Nevada, using only highway 50, so actual planning is key. Heading to GB...
<entitled sad noises>
Weird, because the last couple were pushed right when the rest of the herd here got theirs. Wonder what I have done to upset the distro gods.
I occasionally peruse local CL to see if anyone is selling Rivian bits of interest. Came across this gem:

While I can't say for certain it's a scam ... $35k for a mint '22 is either the deal of the century...
I think I've finally gone past the "damp cloth is fine" phase, as my OC driver seat is beginning starting to show signs of filth after 22k miles and a lot of camping/biking/surfing trips.
Personally kind of shocked it went this long before I noticed any discoloration.
Any product...
