  1. Loud wind noise in cabin

    +1 to cross bar whistle. Well established complaint in other threads. Some have stuffed foam weather stripping along the t-track with success - cosmetically invisible if you absolutely want the look of crossbars on even when not in use. +1 to having quarter panel adjusted or replaced. I...
  2. Vinfast Wild concept at CES in Las Vegas

    https://electrek.co/2024/01/09/vinfast-vfs-wild-ev-pickup-concept-announces-plans-sell-vf-3-mini-suv-us/ While still a concept, this R1T “clone” definitely piques my interest as a Rivian fan. Expandable bed, beefy looking wheels/tires, and running boards. Definitely leans towards the...
  3. Problems problems, all these damn problems! Let's hear from those who've had little / no issues! ?️

    March 2023, xx0044xx, R1S, 11,000 miles Only minor issues that stellar N. Las Vegas SC has handled quickly. Love the reactions when the stock R1 holds its own against the (lightly) modded Jeeps and Tacos. Recommend to anyone looking for capable off-road vehicle that switches to efficient mall...
  4. PaaK - Unable to (re)set-up

    Sorry if this is redundant, but did you go into the app and remove the phone as a key, and then forget all Rivian Bluetooth sensors on the phone (car audio, 4 prox sensors, and camp speaker)? I had to do this a couple times when I setup my new phone (15 pro max). I think the car was still...
  5. Tesla to Recall More Than Two Million Vehicles Over Autopilot Safety Concerns

    Wonder what the backlash will be from the installed base who paid $$$ for FSD. I know a few people who absolutely love Tesla FSD and swear by it. This is akin to Rivian’s attempt to nerf the launch acceleration earlier this year. Very hard to hobble a very popular feature.
  6. R1S Spare tire hitch mount options?

    Little pricey? I’ve been happy with Rigid Armor. Can get similar one from them for $1100. I got mine used with fold down table accessory for $1100 (cross-trek version). My use case is occasional light off-roading (3-5 OnX). The hitch mount has been solid over 6 months. I sent Rigid Armor the...
  7. Should I purchase a used 2022 R1T Adventure or a new 2023

    not sure why. Most assume annoying cost-cutting measures. FWIW I don’t hear anyone complaining that the 12v plugs or horn are failing - just that the newer single horn configuration is embarrassingly weak.
  8. Should I purchase a used 2022 R1T Adventure or a new 2023

    Just to aDd another dimension - there are some subtle omissions that have been made between the early and later VINs. The ones I see mentioned most often are: Removal of frunk 12v Removal of center dash 12v Removal of one horn If these are important to you, check the used vehicles to see if...
  9. DIY - Lower Front Bumper Fascia Removal/Paint

    That’s great news! Can you share details? A couple used replacement are listed on eBay for $300-500, so that price is really attractive once I FUBAR mine. I was thinking of taking both pieces to a local off-road shop to see what they thought. I think EV Sportline replied over a year ago that...
  10. DIY - Lower Front Bumper Fascia Removal/Paint

    TL;DR - I scraped up the silver fascia below the main bumper. Rather than costly repair for high wear area, I removed, sanded, and painted it. Photo above is after. Before photos: More After Photos: Tools/Supplies: Tools List: Torx Set (3 different bit sizes) Nut driver...
  11. PSA: Rivian can update your wheel size OTA [update: nope!]

    @NineElectrics All good. At least we have solid reassurance they are still working on it. We’ll get a victory soon!
  12. Rigid Armor hitch spare tire carrier for R1S -- installed photos & review

    Definitely lose the rear camera and sensors. When backing up I rely on the overhead for backing into spots for centering. Just have to get used to the depth. I actually considered adding after market backup cam but haven’t pulled the trigger on that yet. Watch your departure angle and obstacle...
  13. Si.LE.R1S

    Los Angeles Rivian Club

    Gearing up for this! 1st camping trip (in R1S or otherwise) so assembling/renting necessary gear. Glad to be going with more experienced folks lol.
  14. Anyone gone off-roading with 22s?

    I have set of dark 22 that I took on packed gravel - didn’t air down. There were definitely marks all the way up the side wall. That was my single test run in 22”. I now have set of 20” with stock ATs. Have been doing some 3-5 rock crawling and have some decent rim rash. Basically the stock...
  15. Si.LE.R1S

    Los Angeles Rivian Club

    Total newbie. It there a specific site or RV park where folks are setting up?
  16. Front center lower bumper fascia - has anyone removed/replaced this?

    Looking for a guide for removing the silver plastic panel in the center below the front bumper on R1S. From pictures on eBay it looks like it has a bunch of those ridiculous tabs like the hitch cover, but also two or three bolted anchor points. Got some rash and I am thinking about sanding...

    I have been using this one. Has both 4 and 5 pin connectors. WOFTD Trailer Plug Adapter 7 Pin Round to 4 and 5 Flat Blade Trailer Connector Trailer Adapter, 2-in-1 Flat Blade Plug https://a.co/d/ans9LqC
  18. Nevada WTB 22” Dark for Spare

    Anyone in desert SW or SoCal selling?
  19. List of compatible tires (for each Rivian factory wheel diameter)

    Not smaller overall diameter with 20s. Will be larger (or same with non OEM AS) Stock: 21 + Pirelli AS = 33” 22 + Pirelli AS = 33” 20 + Pirelli AT = 34” (much more sidewall with smaller wheel and larger tire diameter, least efficient) 20 + Pirelli AS = 33” (same as 21 and 22 stock options)...
