Thanks so much for this analysis superfluid. I visited the forum today precisely because I‘m annoyed enough at the muddy midrange on my R1S (Elevation system) that I came here looking for answers and voila. What really spurred me to come here is that I’m driving an R1T loaner while my R1S is in...

Yes, I ordered the Quikrstuff Mach 2. They have a backlog, and my estimated ship date is March 1. Since I already have a working (albeit imperfectly) rack I’m willing to wait.

All three of these are a big deal to me. Now If only they could reprogram the horn… (;-)

How does one “check the suspension connections”? My R1S had an air hose blow off on my third drive, causing suspension failure (the truck sat on the bottom of its travel, but was still driveable with care in order to get it home; felt like I was on a 4x4 road). To diagnose and fix the problem...

Well, based on the good info above and my own requirements I ordered a Quikr Mach II rack with three add-ons so that I can have a 4 bike rack on demand. I have to wait until mid-March for it to arrive. Will report then. I did notice that my XC bike’s handlebars are already only about 2-3” from...

I’d be interested to know how this fantastic piece of vehicular technology ended up with such a puny, pathetic, ludicrous horn. The R1 shows so much thought and brilliant design. I mean, did they actually pay aretention to how the horn sounded? Did they do this intentionally? It‘s disturbing...

If used as designed, this truck is going to get much more dinged up than that. I would buff it out / touch-up or leave it. It’s nice to have the first one (always painful) on the new baby out of the way.

This seems to be a fitment issue on some R1S’s. Mine has it from the top front corner on the passenger side, though it’s only moderate in my case. I’m going to ask them to fix it when I take it in. There are a few threads on here regarding wind noise and hacks to fix it. One poster from the...

Is that from the Rivian SC? I’m wondering when the Fetzer valves need to be checked.

Yes. My house (built in the 1920s) had numerous instances of funky or worse wiring and several circuits remained live when the main service was cut. (This may have been part of a previous owner’s effort to splice in ahead of the meter). There was also at least one circuit that was live to...

This And this Leaving aside risks to the house and the vehicle, the lives of others (utility workers) should not depend on whether someone has manually fully disconnected from main supply before powering up their home panel. (Relatedly, and especially for older houses, the main disconnect...

This is an excellent review and, after two months and 1000 miles I basically agree with it. I have the Quad Motor/Large Pack R1S with 20” wheels/AT tires. My only regret at this point is not waiting a couple months so I could get a dual motor with the Max Pack. I can make it from Berkeley to...

Hey Mike813, curious what your experience has been with the BHG AT/KO2. I’ve used and loved those tires for many years on my string of Land Cruisers but didn’t think they could handle the EV pressure and other requirements (or so I was told). Do you pay a range penalty with the KO2? Regarding...

The other point worth noting here is that Rivian is under tremendous pressure to deliver as many vehicles as they can every quarter end. This is a byproduct of our capital markets with their myopic focus on the short term. It‘s not Rivian’s fault, but it unfortunately seems to make business...

Thanks all for the helpful info and pics. This is a great thread. Based on Russya’s pics of their lovely Ripmo on a Quikr Mach 2 I think that rack will work for me. The Piston Pro X is the other serious candidate. And if you‘ve ever worked with a 4-bike 1Up rack, it’s a bit of a contraption, no...

Not to quibble but Rivian would not give me a delivery date until I provided proof of “currently effective insurance.” They would not accept snything else. So apparently some ofhers had a different experience. I think this is just more growing pains related to their efforts to comply with...

More annoying to me was the fact that they made me buy an insurance policy for a vehicle I did not yet own. With prior purchases I always had (and used) a month to add a new vehicle to my policy.

Two comments: First, this is a truck at its core, despite its cost and various luxury features. If driven as the truck gods intended, it’s going to get dinged up. I never sweated (and never bothered repairing) the various rock scrapes and dents (nothing structural) on my 2013 Land Cruiser, and...

Redmond Chad, thanks much for these extra pics and measurements. Though I really like the Mach2, it’s just not going to work as my bars are quite a bit lower on our family’s MTBs (my adult son likes low bars and his are only about 36“ from the ground while mine are 38-40”) so the bars would...

Thanks Redmond Chad! Somehow the search function didn’t find your helpful post. Looks like a nearly perfect though tight fit, but I would think the handlebar on a MTB might hit the hatch. One question: are you able to get the hitch pin on the Quickrstuff Mach 2 to fit through the hole on the...
