  2. Who are these experts?

    “Talk is cheap” is so 20th Century! Now talk is free - pick up your device and spew away. These characters on your screen are the same black on white whether fact or BS
  3. Let's play a game: what part fell off my R1S today?

    Tonneau DOA after 2 weeks - I will not replace it - will ask for credit towards gear. Tailgate top panel detached - black gorilla tape works fine until they improve it Otherwise no issues after a year and nany 500-1000 mile loaded road trips
  4. Was I the first R1T with these tags?

    That unit on the back should be an Alaska made Fatback bike
  5. Who are these experts?

    We own three of their dirty 10, 1 year and 8 long road trips on the R1T, 3 years on Kona, and 6 and 4 years on the 2 Bolts. Outside of battery swaps on the 3 electric grocery getters and a DOA Tonneau, knock on wood, we have been trouble free...
  6. Rivian E-Bike is Coming. RJ Tells Staff Electric Bike in Development

    STOP!! Don’t waste time and money. The more you try to be like someone else the less you’ll be like yourself. We’ve been selling eBikes 40 years and they are still in the Betamax v VHS stage. Mid drive , crank drive, feint hub, rear hub. Serious over saturation, explosions, fires, failures, then...
  7. Guess I need some snow tires... my R1T hood now has a nice dent (on factory 20" A/T)

    We are not looking forward to snow If it’s as bad as anything worse than packed gravel Those scorpion tires are great on the roads - quiet and they handle well The tire store agreed those are not suited for slippery conditions
  8. Tailgate cap molding trim starting to fall off

    I would have offered to pay as well. at least in or industry, bicycles, we often get a response like : "you're the only one to whom this happened" Thanks fo this group, we can be sure that thus part is a fail.
  9. Tailgate cap molding trim starting to fall off

    I'm thinking since it's not just a sporadic nor marginal occurrence, they will likely come up with a better one and distribute them accordingly we are fine waiting but it would be great to find some push in plugs couple on top couple on the back
  10. Tailgate cap molding trim starting to fall off

    Double-yoo TEE. eff? Sure, $194. is just over a tank of diesel in a large Pickemup , and the plastic cap is supposed to last for years, the fuel a few days to a week, but in this case the plastic is too short lived, I’ll drill holes and insert my own push in plug clips. Hopefully it’s be of...
  11. Tailgate cap molding trim starting to fall off

    Just a doggone minute……..if that flimsy 4”x4’ polyethylene panel is more than $50 I’m in the wrong biz. The subcontractor that molded those is likely laughing all the way to the bank and should be held accountable as should whoever made the tonn-NO cover - ours lasted a whole week. No big gripes...
  12. Tailgate cap molding trim starting to fall off

    The prongs that are molded onto the molding are compromised and s most broken off
  13. Tailgate cap molding trim starting to fall off

    The full length plastic top edge cap on our tailgate started coming off after a few non extreme loadings and no abuse. The prongs are mostly all gone, broken off . Anyone know where we can buy one? We’ll worry about any kinda warranty when the local service center opens .
  14. Truck bed tents?

    We tried the Rightline tent - total bust. The poles were incorrect lengths so we cut them as the temperatures dropped and the night rolled on. Biggest pisser was the unibodies bed left no way to run straps and NO place to hook onto anywhere like fenders, wells, underbody. We opened rear doors...
  15. A Rivian commercial by way of Turo! ?

    Sadly we beat up our own vehicles and rental properties worse than most of our tenants and those we’ve seen rent cars. We still get what we need from everything and see so busy with work and personal chores that we believe life’s way too short to spend being fastidious and fretting imperfections...
  16. ⛔️ Powered Tonneau cover removed from R1T production until further notice on all future deliveries

    our powered cover died after a week When there was a ( short lived) service center nearby they removed it Not missing it and would take a credit , some side rails, or other gear. It seemed like the weakest made part just watching it operate
  17. Truck bed tents?

    Good observation F’rinstance we are presenting at a convention in Dayton fairgrounds next weekend. Host motel 7 miles - arriving 0300 Friday for afternoon presentation. Do I wanna pull into a holiday express , Settle at 0330, check out at 0830 and drive rush hour to the grounds? NOT And en...
  18. Truck bed tents?

    Thanks Shoulda done it decades ago We are looking forward to the nest - though we will miss those DIY waffles at the motel breakfast bars
  19. Truck bed tents?

    TMI? We’re on both sides of 70 and I can hop in the bed and You’re right we use a single step at the gate This is simply a place to catch 7 hours of z at the occasional event at the store or on the road. Like on the small ship cruises where we crew bike events, we spend almost no time in cabin...
