  1. Costco Connect insurance, are you willing to risk it?

    @sdasilva27 Was this an R1 that was totaled and covered by Costco/Connect?
  2. California WTB to Trade AT 20” for 22” inch wheels

    @PVERIVIAN Just curious. If you accepted the R1S with the 20” AT configuration and plan on swapping to 22”, it sounds like off roading is not in the cards. Is yours configured with the whole all-terrain package, which includes the underbody shield? If so, you might consider whether you want...
  3. California WTB to Trade AT 20” for 22” inch wheels

    20” wheels are smaller but the actual Pirelli AT *tire* is bigger at 34” (versus 33” Pirellis you currently have on 22” wheels). I’m guessing your wife is like mine and hates the height, so she’d be pretty upset if you got even bigger tires!
  4. R1S Jarring Ride Driving Diagonally at Slow Speed

    Agree with Rally mode from other post. Can also just disable stability in any mode and get same effect (without sacrificing forward collision warning), turn on soft ride, and keep at standard height. I do this if I have a lot of passengers in R1S. At the end of the day, though, this drives more...
  5. R1S liftgate opened while driving and all luggage fell out! (Drive Cam video added)

    This is clearly superior AI. Fight or flight response. R1S $#!+ itself and ran. Fast!
  6. R1S Spare tire hitch mount options?

    Did the final install with: Kuat swing arm $350 eTrailer spare mount $120 2” spacer (2-pack) $45 Final clearance between inner rim of 20” Rivian AT wheel is 3/4” to eTrailer vertical bar using 2” aluminum wheel spacer. Lea range between tire and rear wiper is 7”. Images below. I think...
  7. Emergency generator

    From the older post, it seemed like THD is very important for EV charging. The description for the above generator specifically seems to address that (see below). Would love to hear your experience if/when you are brave enough to experiment for us!
  8. Emergency generator

    TL;dr This was the final post on that older thread, from @Thedude Looks like it can and has been done. Just gotta find the right generator.
  9. Emergency generator

    Found older thread: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/charging-with-a-generator.4504/
  10. Emergency generator

    I was looking up the exact same thing last night and the consensus seems to be that it is doable, but very quick diminishing returns to plan for this type of emergency. You have to bring the fuel source and generator “just in case,” which will have some impact on range. And best case scenario...
  11. R1S Spare tire hitch mount options?

    Just another thought. You could also just drop a can of large tire Fix-a-flat, but the caveat is always that some (most?) shops won’t repair a tire if this has been used. Still won’t help if the tire shreds, but when maybe the shredded tire/wheel will fit in the well! Lol.
  12. R1S Spare tire hitch mount options?

    D eTrailer and some other vendors have a straight hitch mount intended for front use that could be used in the rear in a pinch. But you would definitely have to get 2-3” spacer due the crazy offset of the Rivian stocks. I imagine this would hold up just fine with donut spare speeds. I have a...
  13. Well that sucks! Rivian insurance doubles in 1 year

    Sounds like a comparable plan. The Rivian insurance also includes gap coverage in the same rider, and covers the vehicle at 110% MSRP for first 3 years and 100% original MSRP up to 6 years if I’m reading correctly. Gonna talk with agent to confirm. I’ve attached if anyone wants the specifics...
  14. Well that sucks! Rivian insurance doubles in 1 year

    @LevelHeaded and @Riv_Goat Shopping around I found that State Farm *does not* offer any optional new car replacement rider (see Wallet Hub screen scrape below). I guess I’m just a little paranoid with my first EV and what I’m hearing about the rate of totaled R1s from “fender benders.” I have...
  15. First tire rotation completed -- my experience

    @the_mace How much tread left after 7K? On track to get 20-25K?
  16. Well that sucks! Rivian insurance doubles in 1 year

    For those who do not have Rivian/Nationwide, can you provide carrier and details regarding vehicle replacement coverage? Rivian/Nationwide new vehicle replacement policy is actual VIN MSRP + 10% for first 2 years after vehicle was delivered. Rivian also explicitly covers off-roading. I’m...
  17. R1S Spare tire hitch mount options?

    (FKA Vegas_R1S) I order the 2” spacers. Went for the cheapest option but they are talking forever to ship. Will send a follow up pic of the entire set-up with clearances once I get them. I did notice some wobble at the eTrailer - Kuat union, but seemed minimal - should be addressable with...
  18. OTA Tire Size Update

    OTA wheel update “no go” for me. Rivian support called me today to follow-up to see if the push worked. I also tried resetting the the system to see if that might trigger something. Guess we’ll just have to keep waiting. Hopefully OP has better luck.
  19. R1S Spare tire hitch mount options?

    My eyes did wander over to my bit set…lol. But the two other positions are reinforced inside the hollow shaft, so drilling a new hole probably would not be equivalent. And you’d have to hack off the first third of the hitch shaft. ??‍♂️
