  1. Service Center Coordination; Tire and Wheel Swap

    We had a not dissimilar experience at the San Antonio service center. Still confused why a tire rotation is $67 but a tire swap (Rivian OEM tires all mounted and balanced) is somehow $400. Not sure if it is still the case now, but the SA SC has used contractors to do simple things like tire...
  2. Current charging costs?

    While I mostly charge at home, I haven't seen any increases in fast charging rates. I suspect that this reflects relatively flat electricity rates. These are generally set by utility companies that adjust on 6 month or annual basis and subject to commission approval. There is a floating "spot...
  3. How to tow a Salvage R1T

    OK, this is weird. I think you bought my totaled R1T, Nanuq. VIN 7FCTGBAA5PN028668 I recognize those connectors as from the EV Play device I had installed. I pulled this before surrendering the vehicle. This explains the center console not coming up because it is not plugged in. The round...
  4. How to tow a Salvage R1T

    Had some challenges finding an insurer for mine as well. Finally ended up with USAA. They didn't ask and I didn't volunteer any info about it being salvaged. When our R1T was t-boned and totalled in December, the driver who hit us was minimally ensured. USAA paid out about $8k lower than what...
  5. Introducing EV Play "Auto-Mate" for Rivian® -- automate your center-screen functions

    Another great product, Alex! Can't wait to have it. Would add a couple off-the-top-of-my-head ideas: - allow me to combine folding mirrors with carwash mode - connectivity to IFTT or other automation frameworks to make it easier to arm/disarm my home security when my Rivy leaves or comes home...
  6. How to tow a Salvage R1T

    Got lucky that the air bag was not deployed on mine.
  7. How to tow a Salvage R1T

    Sounds like I had a much better time with mine when it arrived. Was able to revive the 12v with jumper cables and just drove it off in turtle mode. I will second the warning about letting someone lift the Rivian with a forklift. While I was able to repair all of the collision damage myself, the...
  8. What did they do to ABRP?!?

    Thanks for the heads up and good tip for using AI on route planning. I'm also an ABRP subscriber. We used it in January to plan our Austin to Florida Lays trip, towing our boat. I can definitely concur with the rough edges in both the web and mobile app. It is also overly conservative on range...
  9. Favorite locations wiped and cannot re-save after 2025.18.01

    Having the same on 2025.46.0 on 22 R1T quad. This is after SC rolled back and reinstalled software to resolve another issue. Absolutely will not allow me to add new saved locations.
  10. DIY Replacement Torch

    This is the one I ordered. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807995757414.html There are a number available from different vendors. Probably also available on Amazon these days.
  11. DEFLATE TIRES FOR BEACH DRIVES?

    Yeah, I have no idea what the OP was talking about. We drive out R1T with OEM 21s on the beach every other weekend. Never been stuck. Never deflated the tires. We do carry recovery boards, auto deflators, a shovel and tow strap just in case. Just throw it into soft sand mode and it does great...
  12. Recommendations for coffee mug holder.

    While I understand the obsession with 3D prints, it is often better to eliminate a problem than to solve a problem that need not exist. Love my 20oz Yeti Rambler (Rivian branded). The tapered shape fits PERFECTLY in the OEM cupholders and you will never spill a drop, maybe not even if you flip...
  13. 21" Inch What does everyone do with their 21" wheels when they inevitably replace them?

    Not to be a contrarian, but my 21s with the OEM Pirellis have done well for my travels (mostly freeway and county highways, with some beach and dirt roads). I have managed to pick up 2 more sets of 21s with wheels, TPMS, and low wear tires from drivers swapping to other wheel sizes. Cost me...
  14. PSA - if you lose your crossbar keys and don't know key number, REI can help

    Just so folks know, there's an online locksmith that will cut replacement keys for you. https://easykeys.com/Yakima_A001-A200_A157_Key_Lock.aspx If you don't know your key number and your racks are not locked, there is a $5 "control key" from Yakima (aka Ilco LF12 uncut) that any Yakima...
  15. Do you Hand Wash or Auto Car Wash?

    We have a subscription at the local auto wash and run our R1T through several times per week. Much prefer the 10 minutes it takes to clean, vacuum and wipe down at an automatic car wash than the 30-45 minute operation at home. No issues on the R1T or any of our other cars. Mind you, I'm not a...
  16. Drive Mode Question: any particular reason not to just stay in conserve?

    Just be sure you rotate your tires a prescribed. I got a great deal on a set of tires and wheels from a quad who, according to the seller,kept hers in Conserve and didn't rotate. Front ones are so much more worn than the rear ones it's not even funny.
  17. Has anyone taken the bed apart?

    Yep, have done this as well. The inner structure of the bed side might not actually allow access to the crease where that dent occurred. Sure a talented PDR pro could set it right. My first R1T came with a few dents that I never bother to fix. I found it was actually liberating not to have to...
  18. Florida 4 x 21" wheels with garbage tires $500

    FWIW, I have picked up 9 extra 21" rims and tires on the cheap over the past year since so many owners are switching to alternative sizes. You may have better luck selling those as viable spares for R1T owners with 21s.
  19. What’s your go-to camp kitchen cooking setup? 🍳

    We've been on the road camping for the past 3 weeks. Took the trusty Coleman propane stove, but also grabbed an induction burner and small air fryer from our sailboat. Have to say that the air fryer has been a surprising game changer this trip, allowing us to actually broil and bake. @Budman ...
