  1. Is there any scheduled maintenance for my R1T?

    Tire rotation every 5,000 miles for me as I would like the tires to last as long as possible or at least until there are options for the 21" Pirellis. Discount Tire which is now a Rivian partner will do the rotation for free, pretty easy. I had a Tesla for 3 years prior to the R1T and the only...
  2. Rivian tonneau fix appointments

    I spoke to Rivian service this morning regarding a minor issue and asked about my tonneau cover ticket, he said my ticket is still open and I will get a call eventually to get it replaced as he said the fix is to replace all the powered covers with the new design. He could not give me a time...
  3. 1-year anniversary today

    Glad to read some positive comments VS complaints, I've had my R1T for 1.4 years with similar mileage and no complaints or issues, even my power tonneau cover is still working albeit barely.
  4. Body Shop recommendations in East Bay Area Fremont area?

    WSJ article "Why Repairing Your EV Is So Expensive" R1T as an example https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/ev-repair-expensive-eecf09fd?mod=djemwhatsnews
  5. Christmas mode update?

    I am not an IT guy but I would agree if extra programing just for fun would cause extra software stress.
  6. Body Shop recommendations in East Bay Area Fremont area?

    That doesn't look terrible but I'm sure outrageously expensive to fix. Give Rivian a call, they will give you the Rivian certified shops in your area.
  7. Christmas mode update?

    I remember when I had my Tesla they programed it so the vehicle would give you a festive concert with lights coordinated to the music, it was very original and very impressive. I wonder if Tesla still does that?
  8. Denver to Durango through snow in new R1T with stock 21” Scorpion tires (maiden delivery voyage)

    Glad to hear the 21" performed well for you, I opted for the 21" over the 20"AT as I was planning to do some off roading in Arizona but 90% of my driving would be on road. These tires have performed well off road (not heavy rock crawling) and excellent on road.
  9. UAW is coming after Rivian

    Well done and well managed!
  10. UAW is coming after Rivian

    Unions had their place a hundred years ago, today they can most certainty be a detriment. Take the teachers union in Chicago, they got one of their own elected mayor and he will negotiate the contract with them in 2024, how will that turn out for tax payers in an already highly taxed state? In...

  12. Saw my first Cyber Truck

    All this negativity about the CT, I thought it was pulchritudinous including the gal riding along, that said I'll have my first Dos Equis of the day!
  13. Saw my first Cyber Truck

    I still don’t know all the features of my I Phone let alone my R1T?
  14. Saw my first Cyber Truck

    I was driving down the 101 in Scottsdale AZ and I looked to my left and a CT with CA plates pulled up next to me, it was unmistakable, also a pretty gal in the passenger seat was smiling at me (or probably my R1T) and then said something to the driver and he floored it and took off. It was...
  15. Tire rotation - Discount Tire

    I had an excellent experience at DT in Scottsdale rotating my 21" tires at 5000 miles. I only knew about DT partnering with Rivian after calling Rivian to schedule a mobile visit to rotate and the Rivian advisor told me if I have a DT close by to use them which I did, $40 to check and balance...
  16. Advice on Gear Tunnel door dent

    I watched the video and might be able to do myself but it does not show how to remove the old PPF?
  17. Advice on Gear Tunnel door dent

    I have a scratch on driver side gear tunnel door, it looks like paint is ok just the PPF slightly peeled. Rivian recommended a body shop that is Rivian certified and not very close. They basically said the shop can order a precut PPF, peel the old one off and apply the new one. I have not...
  18. 5,000 mile tire rotation: how-to DIY tips

    The Discount Tire in Scottsdale charged me $40 to check and balance if needed all 4 tires, tire rotation was free. They are Rivian authorized and had all the necessary tools and info to work on Rivians. They do not take the tires off the rims and they put the tire on a machine that spun the...
  19. 5,000 mile tire rotation: how-to DIY tips

    FYI if you have a Discount Tire store close to you they partnered with Rivian and will do a tire rotation plus a balance for $40. I did not check to see how they rotated the tires but they said 3 wheels were slightly off and they performed a rebalance.
