So today we got out early and headed out to the lake. We even stopped and took some awesome pics with some transformers.
The lake was beautiful, the weather was clear and 80. My father in-law even gave us a little rc boat to try lol
But fast forward to when we are leaving and the cops rolled...
Hey Rivian Fam,
Every year, my family goes to Denver for a few days as sort of a semi-staycation. We are located in Colorado Springs and Denver has a lot of fun activities for kids, so we try to get out there.
This year though, we had Bomberman! (My R1T). And I thought it would be cool to see...
Hey CO Rivian Fam,
I have some Tesla bucks expiring soon and wanted to see if anyone in CO area, wanted to make a trade.
I want some crossbars or other useful Rivian accessories.
In exchange I'll buy you something of equal value from the Tesla store.
Let me know what you have an what you...
So this last weekend we took out the popup camper for a quick camping trip out in the Conifer CO area. We found a good spot using hipcamp, it's like an airbnb type app for camping reservations, if that's something you're into, you can save $10 with my link.
Basically, we bought this little...
My R1T is in the shop, and let me preface that the stress is mostly not the service centers fault.
But my truck needs new struts in the front and a bunch of other small tweaks, for wind noise, rattles etc. I wanted to get it in for everything at once.
Initially they didn't have a loaner, so...
Hey Rivian Fam, I got a chance to check out the EVBASE wireless armrest charger and it's actually pretty legit!
If you hate long videos where humans talk, this one is for you:
Otherwise here is the full one 😂
It is expensive, BUT it's cheaper than the Rivian one! And you can get a discount 😁
Okay okay okay, it's highly unlikely that this is anything other than a coincidence. BUT its a pretty odd one cause I literally dropped off my vehicle for service yesterday and now Tesla is like..... you up?
Lol
So I took the truck out for a night of Lyft driving and I pretty much always use all purpose. (22 quad adventure)
Today though, I decided to try out conserve in standard + auto suspension.
It was 46F out and I drove 76 miles with an efficiency of 3.12 mi/kwh!!! I had the heat set to 73 and my...
Okay, I'm probably not the first person to name my Rivian this, but I looked at it today and literally had to stop and change its name.
Need some pink accents now
I know we had a post about gen 2 fobs but I figured the gen 1 Fam needed some love too.
Shout-out to @Z-RO for convincing me to go back to the service center and @Brad Foster for selling me the fob without ripping me off!
If you guys have issues getting it paired, they need to remove it from...
@EVBASE R1S running boards on R1T
Okay, so the only used accessories I can find for rivians locally seem to be R1S items, but no one says that until you show up to buy them and you find out lol. I really need to start asking, BUT, I took a chance anyway and they're a little shorter than the T...
Found here for $20 for all four (1/5 the price of the Rivian Set) : https://opensourceev.com/products/center-cap-mount-r1t-and-r1s-21-wheels?_pos=11&_sid=5c1a6e94d&_ss=r
I ended up plasti dipping them because I have the black AO emblems, but they came out good and still feel OEM-ish lol
I did the mudflaps, rim vinyl and rear tail light tint!

Also got the truck back from PDR, next is some ppf kits and then window tint
Hey all,
So I recently picked up a used R1T but it didnt come with a fob.
I know i dont NEED a fob, but I am the old guy who walks around with my fob on my belt loop to hit the buttons while i walk up to the vehicle lol.
If you're local that's best, but I would do shipping too lmk.
Got some mods installed today. Liking how it's coming together so far. Much more to go.
Anyone know where to get some yellow compass vinyls that would fit center caps?
DRL on
Off
Nothing too crazy but Rivian was awesome enough to get me into service before my 7 day return window was up to get my alignment taken care of.
I wasnt able to use highway assist it was so bad lol But now that I have the truck back I'm super happy with Rivian service and appreciate them taking...
Hey Rivian gang,
I'm not officially a part of the club yet, but after getting scooped on a few good R1Ts in my area, I decided to order one from rivian sight unseen.
I missed out on the original launch of the truck because I was holding out for CT..... Well, what feels like 20 years later CT...
