? I agree. This would be far from optimal, but could be a blessing in a pinch IF it works. It sure would beat getting out of the car ever 3 miles on a two lane road with no shoulder in the dark to scrape headlights ?. I keep a lot of preps in my truck at all times, including a small can of WD40...

In an emergency situation, I might try spraying some wd40 on a rag and wipe them down, but just over the ppf. Although, I’m not sure if the wd40 will hurt the ppf. It all depends what the material is. It’s probably fine and would work longer than ceramic stuff. I would definitely try to...

My hotspot works great. I use it every time I drive. It connects automatically for me and my kids. I remember the first time I tried it, I had trouble. Tried again later and it worked fine ever since. The speed is slower than my ATT phone, but at least I don't get throttled date at the end...

My Vin is in the 5719. So far my cover works, but sounds like there's a ton of friction. I gently help it in and out for now. If it breaks, I'm looking forward to working on my own "redesign" until they replace it with whatever they see fit that works. After watching the Munroe video, I have...

I leave auto off most of the time. It's easy to get a false result because it only does it sometimes. When it does it, it does it consistently, which is why I'm guessing it's a feature. My money is on over-automation, but only Rivian can answer that. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I filled...

Thank you for that great review. This kind of helpful sharing is the reason I make the time to participate in forums like this. I'm looking forward to hearing more as the winter rolls in.

This has been bothering me since day one because I drive past a mushroom farm that often smells of manure on my commute ? . About half the time, the recirculation button in the AC control panel will switch back to outside air on it's own after a minute or so. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm...

I like this solution. How about attaching two panels together at a time so you can install/remove them a little quicker. They'd probably still fit in the gear tunnel that way. I've been taking special care with mine and thankfully it still works. I use it a few times a week since June and it...

? Sounds about right.

Great. I'm interested to know what parts they end up replacing. I was chatting with the guy who owns the body shop here in California that Rivian uses when I picked up my truck for after some paint repairs. He let me know that a lot of the trim panels and seals on the R1's are one time use...

As stated above, this stuff changes constantly. They make a rule, it gets abused, then they add in all these specific details and caveats... and wallah! you have our overcomplicated tax code that still isn't clear even to professionals. Maybe it's better to say it's, "open to...

I'm not sure. I can't remember, but I'm planning to take it apart again On my way Sunday or Monday and can let you know. If you take pry the plastic covers off, then remove the fasteners, it comers off pretty easy. just don't lose any little washers or other fiddly bits into the cracks. I'm...

I took this video when I installed some extra tie down points in my bed. I was thinking of making a how to video and got too busy to follow through. The video shows the cover removed. I wanted to see how strong the attachment points were to get an idea of how much load they can take. The...

Mine is dead too. The gear guard cable still locks and unlocks with the truck and the light on that panel for it blinks, but the compressor has zero response.

Hey friends, just thought I would share my experience with Driver+ and how it has improved. My commute is about 100 miles round trip. The main highway I drive on is really funky with much of it being light concrete with seemingly black lane lines created by tar laid over old lane lines seen in...

I got the notification this morning. Going to update shortly. Looks like a nice list of improvements. I’m still waiting for loading mode though. Front up and back down for getting cargo in and out of the bed. Seems easy in my mind, but there’s prob more to it.

That sounds familiar. There's probably different rules for heavy equipment though. I remember my forklift didn't qualify as a "vehicle" and so I still had to depreciate it over 5 years or something like that. Maybe it was 50% in the first year, then it tapered off. I'm pretty sure the...

I haven't seen this discussed much, so I thought it was worth mentioning. The term "G-Wagon Loophole" is referring to people using this tax code to buy Mercedes G Wagons because they weigh just over 6k lbs. I'm in real estate and bought my R1T to commute about 100 miles a day to work. I...

I know the focus of this interview is on Rivian, but I found it odd they didn't mention Tesla FSD in their conversation, or even hint at it without saying "Tesla," as RJ was talking about how hardware intensive level 4 autonomy is. Am I the only one who sees the writing on the wall? I know I...

Oh that's tempting.. But I mussn't Chao
