Big dump haul

I'll be completely off grid when I eventually get my house built. Bidirectional charging gets me two things: Cost savings on not buying extra batteries just for use during the week or so it gets dark enough here that solar isn't available. The ability to drive to town and buy a tank of dirty...

"I ordered an R3 - it's been five years and all I got was this T-shirt"

You mean hot AND loose?

Damn, so no hard-top convertible then ?

I sure hope it's a lot lighter than the R1. I'd love a 200 mile range LiFePO4 battery. Tire dust is a big source of pollution from EVs.

I've got an object rolling around inside a rear passenger door. It's so obvious, you can hear it when accelerating or decelerating - basically all the time. I filed a service ticket, and magically the object got jammed in place just days before the appointment. SC claimed they looked for the...

Were you able to find the bugs while you had it apart? Mine is teeming with them.

Driver was well trained.

I'll probably get an R2 if it has at least two of the following: Under $40k option Small battery pack (eg 70 kWh LiFePO4) Home backup power option (supposedly possible with R1T CCS implementation, but no commitment from Rivian to ever support it) I won't get one if it supports CarPlay but not...

If only the vans were painted red.

This is what I do. The nearest service center to me is across the ocean, so I like to acknowledge the other dozen crazies on this small island who took the same leap of faith with Rivian build quality. They usually wave back in some way or another, but in the nine months I've been here I've only...

When your steep driveway is off road, every drive is an adventure!

Nope, I was upcountry. I've seen at least one other blue R1T. Sometimes I'll see multiple in one day, but I've also gone weeks without seeing one.

I gave them only my fob, with a new battery just in case. Be sure to attach a label to it with your name. I also wrote Blue Rivian on the label for mine.

I did not do this. I'd be worried about the vehicle being more active to collect telemetry. Who knows. Your other proposals are fine, but the key ones are shipping mode, gear guard off and proximity locking off. Before your drive, buy an emergency windshield repair kit to seal a small chip if...

My SC guide for taking delivery recommended Meguiars D101, which I've found to be very effective. Unfortunately I had to buy a huge jug of it: https://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-D10101-All-Purpose-Cleaner/dp/B089Z9WPDY/

One of the two gets carsick, so no Hana for her. They were both safely bored at home.

I'd love to see some funny or amusing gear guard or drive cam videos, please share! I'll start. The best way to drive the Road to Hana is to go slow and pull over any time someone is behind you to let them pass. This time I was letting a local pass, but one of her three unsecured dogs in the...

Super helpful, thank you. I'd rather not fry my key fob when I set it on the mat, and the wireless charging was never reliable. It must've been designed by the same interns that made the trash camp speaker.
