I called Rivian service this morning again. They pushed the update again (for the 3rd time), it failed again at 7%. I am now scheduled for service next Thursday :/ Bugger.
So here is my situation...
Someone was supposed to drop off their R1T so I can complete our product line for the R1T (full color wrap, sunroof, rear windows tints and a few plastics). They had a change of circumstances though and did not drop off. Right now I am working on finalizing our Model Y...
Anyone else having issues downloading the 2025.26 update? I received the update notification earlier today, initiated the update and after a while of being stuck at 7% it said it failed & I need to contact Rivian to continue to receive updates.
I called Rivian, they said - soft reboot and we...
Tough choice. Let me make it tougher and chime in here...
Not sure you knew that but if you are handy, you can actually get full front a lot cheaper. We are fellow R1S owners and make our own cut patterns from scratch, so that they are easy to install with 0 disassembly.
So...
Full Front...
Gen2 R1S Dual Standard here... happy to hear your story! I can't help but think though, that Quad would be advantageous for the added torque vectoring but I don't have the experience to back it up... so for the time being my wife's preventing me from throwing away another $100k on a Quad with...
@electruck4x4 Well I actually decided to go all in 😂
I changed my stock Pirelli ZEROs to Pirelli XTM ATs (photos below) last weekend, and I am going to Yosemite tomorrow for a one week vacation and planning to go on the Shuteye Peak trail one of the days, which is rated Moderate to Difficult...
I can absolutely resell this by the foot, but I'd advise against using it on houses for this reason - this is a VERY expensive film. I am not sure why to be honest, but it is unfortunately. For houses you don't need something as expensive as this - you neither need the protective feature nor the...
I think there is a chance the windshield will be identical...I will have to find a Model Y to test. The sunroof I think won't be the same though - if you look at the Tesla shop you will notice that it's a different sunshade for the roof of the Juniper and the previous generation...so I am not so...
That looks really good on picture! Did you check the visibility from inside? Any major missed bubbles or dirt?
That little "hazing" so to say goes away in a day under the sun by the way.
Correct yes, it will cure faster with heat (sunlight or heat gun) but it cures without it too, just slower.
Please let me know how it went...
Remember -> 1) window needs to be cool not warm/hot. 2) use PLENTY of soapy water any area that you left while working on another (say driver/passenger...
VHB doesn't stick too well on the OEM pad but this one is a bit better if you want to try that route:

I just tested it...but it still doesn't stick super hard. With that said I do something else- when I pick up my phone I push with...
Honestly no idea... the film is flexible (feels like PPF even though it's not made out of TPU like PPF, but EPU), so I'd think it would conform to tiny dips and such, then again my own windshield didn't have those so I don't have first hand experience :/ It's a risk, seems like small risk but...
That's cool but having all the cooking smells stick to the Alcantara doesn't seem like something I'd like. When I and my family go out on a picnic, I have a pizza oven that I carry but plug with an extension cord way outside the R1S so I don't get any smells on the interior.
The manufacturer of the film recommends ceramic coating actually. I already coated mine with some coatings I got on Amazon but noticed 0 difference in how it handles water. With that said I am working with a chemicals manufacturer in SoCal to make a coating that works and my test sample is...
