  1. Gear Tunnel Confessionals

    I keep my charging items and car duster in the frunk. Things used often. I keep my heavy items in the tonneau covered bed. Off road Jack, rescue straps, cinch straps, ramps , bed extender. The gear tunnel with sled gets all the tools, cleaning supplies, jump starter, power tools, Jack pucks...
  2. Poll: Would you buy your Rivian again?

    If I went back in time given the availability of competitors then and all other factors equal, yes I would. I wanted to support Rivian's mission. I'm impressed with the R1t. After almost one year and 6000 miles I've had no problems. I charge at home for about 12 cents per kWh. Mostly around...
  3. Dashboard Rattle - Solved using rubber seal strip

    Another simple fix for this mid dash rattle (you can press your hand mid dash and it stops) if you have a dash mat is to put a steel plate under the dash mat over the rattling section of the dash. I had a nice plated piece of steel in my scrap pile that fit perfectly in the recessed central part...
  4. Tesla trade-ins data

    Well said. A few years ago I would have bought a Tesla for the reasons you mention. Tesla was crucial for the early viability of ev development even if the 2 original engineers were forced out by Musk. His wall street money made Tesla possible. Now I wouldn't even consider buying one. I vote...
  5. Dashboard Rattle - Solved using rubber seal strip

    Success. I just used a 12 inch piece of thin cord and pressed it under with the plastic tool pictured. Any sharp edge plastic knife should work. You don't need to spread the joint. Just press the cord under until it disappears. Took it out for a 12 mile ride. 90 degrees and some bumpy road...
  6. Dashboard Rattle - Solved using rubber seal strip

    Same exact problem on my gen 1 R1t. I tried securing the dash mat to the dash but it still rattles. I'll try your technique next. It's gotten worse over time. Used to be just intermittent and with bumps. Now it's all the time. Seems like Rivian could offer a DYI fix suggestion if they put in...
  7. 220V outlet at VRBO

    I home charge from my nema 14 30 dryer outlet for my Rivian and Equinox ev. That is a nema 14 30 outlet pictured. Your rivian charger has a 14 50 plug so you need a 14 30 to 14 50 adapter. (Don't worry about moving up to the higher capacity 14 50 cord from the 30 amp source.) They are readily...
  8. Tesla trade-ins data

    Nothing wrong with voting your conscience and nothing wrong with purchasing and boycotting based on your conscience. In fact we should all do so. Too bad that a good car is seeing the consequences of a bad man.
  9. California Dune Limited Edition R1S & R1T Unveiled!

    If you're a rattlesnake or a lizard you want to blend in with the sand. If you're a sand vehicle you want to stand out loud and clear. Bright colors are preferable.
  10. Accident caught on rear camera - hit by 16 yo on her phone!

    I'm glad you are okay and she is also. Good for you for going the ethical route and not feeding the injury attorneys with bogus injury allegations. Nice to know there are honest people left these days. Keep us posted as the claim developes. Looks like many are interested and our day may come too.
  11. Another CyberStuck rescue…

    Cybertruck is better for hauling fireworks and volatile chemicals. Also better at cyberassault vehicle wrap decorations.
  12. Brake Pad Replacement DIY for Rivian R1

    Agree the Harbor freight badlands offroad Jack is the best. I just bought one and already used it doing a rack and pinion replacement on my old Ice car. That along with the 12 ton HF Jack stands, a pair of rear drive up ramps and some smaller stands gave me easy high working room beneath the...
  13. New RAN stations in Placerville, CA and Cisco, TX are now operational

    I'll be spending time near Pismo beach this summer and storing my RV in Paso Robles. I'm hoping the Pismo RAN will be up and running by then. Staying part of the time at a no hook up state park and planning on powering a small refrigerator and TV with the Rivian. Sure would be nice to have a...
  14. Canoo furloughs employees and shutters buildings - former employee speaks out

    Big difference between big companies expanding their capabilities by acquiring small companies that offer additional technology or other enhancing, expanding capacities vs intentionally sitting back and waiting , avoiding risk until the market becomes more stable. Especially in markets that are...
  15. Cybertruck sales appear to be down, way down.

    CT is more of a political statement than a practical alternative. When the politics cools or diverts so will the sales.
  16. Canoo furloughs employees and shutters buildings - former employee speaks out

    I admire the risk taking pioneers in the ev industry. I'm afraid the big three and others with deep pockets will sit out the risk and then jump in full force once public opinion and demand safely allows. That's why RJ is the man and he gets my continued support and tolerance of unavoidable...
