Thanks for sharing that great design! I think I have that same aftermarket tray insert and share the same frustrations. It wasn't initially clear what would keep me from tilting the tray and dumping out the contents (as I am prone to do). The very complete and well done videos seem to show...

I would say that, although this "how fast can I recharge" test can offer insights, it tends to put the focus on one narrow aspect that is an edge case for many and, let's be honest, reinforces a bad practice of one wants to have long term battery health. While there is certainly a portion of...

Mine is an October '23 build with no PPF option. Only has it on the gear tunnel doors.

FWIW, there's a similar thread on Right to Repair with folks pooling to get service.manual access, tools, and software. That's a brave move to take on frame straightening. Lots of R1S out there "totalled" without any frame damage. Did some body straightening on my R1T, but that doesn't impact...

Like the color key! I only knew blue and green. Great to have fluids color coded like that!

It's interesting that the design has changed over time... Current Riviian Torch

Again, trying to clarify that the information posted is publicly available. Here is the site with all Rivian service bulletins, released to the public: OEM1Stop Tech Info Site There are similar pages for other manufacturers. NHTSA is another source of public technical information on vehicles...

These are public documents. Nothing confidential is being exposed. When I get to my computer I will post the general site.

Yep, repairing a salvage vehicle is not for everyone. I did all the work myself and quite enjoyed it. The $780 inspection is something that it Rivian imposes to ensure that the high voltage system is safe for their technicians to work on. Tesla similarly charges of $1,000 fee. Yes, I had to...

This is wrinkling from the rear impact through the bed rails. It is body, not frame damage. What happens is that the bed sides all shift forward and that narrowest place above the gear tunnel is what gives way. Had the same on mine. Flattened out almost 100% with a hydraulic straightener. To...

Saw this come up at auction in Eugene... Sweet 2023 R1T dual adventure large with less than 2k miles on it. Rear damage. https://www.copart.com/lot/62502274/salvage-2023-rivian-r1t-adventure-or-eugene Probably ~$3k in parts to put a new bumper and tailgate on it. Helluva discount. Acquired...

You can certainly do what I did and get a dinged one at auction. Here's at 2023 R1T with less than 2k miles on it. https://www.copart.com/lot/62502274/salvage-2023-rivian-r1t-adventure-or-eugene Likely ~$3k in parts to fix the bumper, hitch, cladding and replace tailgate and sensors. Probably...

Many thanks for pertinent and useful info on this topic. Probably a much more powerful position to team up with big movers in this area than for individual Rivian owners to simply complain (although both are probably needed). Checked out your website. I do wish you offered a nice big repair.org...

Lots of folks have made DIY covers that slide into the tonneau slot. Search around the forum a bit. I adapted a $160 soft tonneau for a Maverick and am very happy with it.

Just for clarification, are you referring to the powered tonneau cover, the manual hard cover, or some alternative?

That would be really interesting and helpful. Good idea.

Out of Spec Reviews did a detailing episode a while back. They recommended GYEON Leather Cleaner, medium strength. I'm not sure if that was specific to the Ocean Coast interior or not. I have not yet used that product. I have used P&S Professional Xpress Interior Cleaner and was happy with the...

Looked, but I'm not seeing it in the photos. Maybe highlight it?

Yep. I hope that law suit succeeds as well. The John Deere case is rather specific because that company has gone to extrme s to prevent farmers from doing anything at all. Delays in service have lead to significant crop loss. Nonetheless it is a step in the right direction. Outcomes may narrowly...

Not much off-road experience here, except with respect to ranch work. At first viewing of the video, I thought the capabilities of each vehicle were fairly well represented. Certainly did not lead me to regret getting my R1T DMP. The follow-up comments were a _huge_ education for me. Also...
