Pointless dent removal isn't a service I've ever needed :D If the PPF has pulled loose from the paint then you'll need to replace it or have a bubble where it released from the paint. If your paint is damaged, as I've recommended to other posters on here, Dr Colorchip makes a kit that does a...

Sorry you had your vehicle damaged by a couple of %%%#-. I hope you find them and they suffer greatly! We will all benefit if people like them get paid their due. As for dent removal, pointless dent removal might be able to straighten things, but it looks like the paint got damaged. I'd take...

I haven't needed the silver accents touched up on my Rivian, yet. My Rivian's main color is LA Silver, which I did get a kit from Dr Colorchip for touchup, but I don't think it matches the trim color. As I said, for me they have been very responsive when I've needed a color they don't have...

Might be worth it to have Rivian test the hold function. If it has an issue you will want it fixed, and it could help prove the vehicle didn't roll backward if they find nothing wrong. I'd try to find the Gear Guard footage, and have Rivian download the vehicle's error logs and check for...

Yeah, Dr Colorchip will give you a touch up without a ton of learning or effort. Their kits are used by auto detailers to touch up paint. I've used their product on several vehicles. I've touched up my silver R1T paint and the black on the front bumper. They didn't list the black, but an...

Not sure how big the scratches are, or exactly what you are referring to, but if it is painted silver/aluminum, you might check with Dr Colorchip. They can custom mix a paint color, or might already have the formulation. Their touch up kits are easy to use and very forgiving allowing you to...

Well I went just now to look at the windshield and I see it is mounted without trim around the perimeter. My bad.......sorry.

So I've had 3rd parties replace my windshield, rarely do they replace the trim with OEM parts. The last time I had Safelite do a windshield they did a crappy job putting the trim on, it never looked right, and they had to send a different tech because it was clear the trim wouldn't stay on...

Yeah, I don't know that I agree with V2H being just a marketing ploy. If you live in an area prone to wildfires caused by powerline failure, you are now living in an area where the power company is going to shut off the power any time there are high winds. There are more and more natural...

Another thing he should do is drape a blanket jacket, or something else similar over the middle of the tow strap in case something does break. The mass in the middle of the strap can slow or stop a broken tow hook before it strikes something. Remind me to never lend him my Rivian. He was going...

I vote for the 8 foot bed. I never thought the R1T bed was a real pickup bed. I'm not a fan of the 6.5 foot bed on my Ford either.

I think the point is that with regen there is less brake dust generated because the brakes are used less, not that the emissions from an EV's brakes are less dangerous than the ICE emissions? If your brake pads last twice or three times as long on an EV compared to an ICE vehicle then it makes...

The best way I've found to reduce road noise in my Rivian is to drive my F150 ICE truck for 30 or 40 miles. It makes the raod noise in my Rivian seem nonexistent.

In economics there is something called present value of money and opportunity costs. So basically the idea is; my money is tied up when I pay the $1000, for the sake of this example, for the next 10 years of road taxes. My money in the last year (year 10), if we spread the $1000 equally over...

The Rivian connection is pretty easy, the challenge is getting a "box" that will work with the myriad of configurations of everyone's house and their use case. The Rivian already "talks" to the chargers, so beyond the comms it is basically send the current in the other direction. If I were...

Maybe you can get Elon to demonstrate the bulletproof windshield? :facepalm:

Reminds me of "4 out of 5 dentists surveyed" which if you think about it is not anything but hype if the 5 dentists surveyed were picked for their positive opinions, possibly influenced by who knows what.

If you are going to spend the money to put a sub panel in the garage, why not size the panel large enough for future expansion? The wire, panel, and breakers may cost a little more but the labor costs won't change. If you have to put holes in walls or the ceiling that will need to be patched...

Why are people surprised to see so many rear enders? All you have to do is drive around and notice that 1/2 the people driving are paying more attention to their phone than driving their vehicle; in these cases brake lights don't matter because the idiot behind you isn't looking at the back of...

And the attorney will take 40% of the settlement! I'd go to YOUR insurance company, they'll be obligated to foot the bill if they can't get the money from the other parties involved.
