hate to bring the bad news, but my neighbor’s nephew’s friend works at a SC and he told me they just paused the auto tonneau retrofits due to some issues with the boxes the parts come in. Said it should be about a 30 day delay while they redesign all the cardboard boxes ?
Ouch. Now this is why Rivian should really include some instructions. The panels are kind of fragile to begin with and hate to see what yours look like after the ”slamming, lifting, pushing.”

ThIs. Lots of folks gave Ford praise for making the lighting a regular truck, but that’s why few are interested. If you want an F150, get an ICE F150 as it’s cheaper and can do more. If you want an EV truck get a true EV truck. And Rivian is the only true ground up EV truck you can get today...
All fair points to not buy an R1S. that said, all of those points were pretty obvious before you bought it. My advice going forward - do more research before you buy as it will save you money and headache
Alright probably, but I think it’s posts like this that give the masses awareness and access and allow them to play with it for a short period of time at least. The alternative is a very small group secretly knows how to access it and has it for a longer period of time. I didn't know this was...
Alright, so after doing some reading it seems like steps needed to un-f**k yourself alone and off grid goes something like this:
1. Jump the primary battery from the hitch using a jump pack. You got to store that jump back in the frunk and you need to keep a tool in the hitch receiver to be...
So your story scares me. Why did it have to sit there for 2.5 weeks until mobile service could replace the batteries. If my ICE 12v dies in my driveway, I’d have it sorted in a couple hours max. Did they have you try to jump it? And if that didn't work, cant we replace the batteries ourselves? I...
I've seen inconsistencies but not as bad as yours. Typically, mine are in the opposite direction as I'll set the compressor to 48, but then the tpms reads ~46. I assume your tpms readings are right after you fill up? When I drive and air heats up I'll see a previous 48 go as high as 52.
I did...
Oh yeah, the ramp! I forgot about that. That was a cool feature.
To be fair, didn't Rivian do the same thing? Like, what happened to the camp kitchen, tank turn, etc.
Yep, that's fair. I had assumed AT tires were standard, but that might not be the case. That said, in terms of pricing I do think the powered tonneau cover and the underbody protection is standard on the CT, but it's not on the R1T and not factored into the 87K. I'm not sure what the eventual...
I'm at 95% with 8K miles. Not sure if that's good or bad but doesn't seem good.
Update with charging details:
Most of the time charge from 50-70% at home
Maybe 20 DCFC charges
Have charged to 100% or close to it several times for road-trips, but NEVER let it sit at 100% for more than a few...
