  1. Lost rear drive under acceleration

    This is EXACTLY my thinking, almost word for word. I also purchased an extended warranty (Fidelity). If it was an ICE vehicle from a long established company with a well established market for repairs and parts (including non-OEM repair shops and parts), it would be a different story. Or if I...
  2. Accident caught on rear camera - hit by 16 yo on her phone!

    Ok, thanks… I guess that makes sense since I pay them an additional premium for that coverage.
  3. Accident caught on rear camera - hit by 16 yo on her phone!

    Ok. So I have ā€˜New Car Replacement’ coverage that is in effect. So do you believe that if my vehicle is totaled that I SHOULD expect MY insurance company to pay me out for the replacement cost of a NEW Rivian with all the same OEM features mine had, plus taxes, fees, delivery, etc… PLUS the cost...
  4. Accident caught on rear camera - hit by 16 yo on her phone!

    I really appreciate the feedback, but I still don’t think I understand the reality of this. As I said previously… ā€œā€¦You can not typically get diminished value coverage from your own insurance company. And if I don’t carry rental coverage, why would my insurance cover it for me on their dime… or...
  5. Accident caught on rear camera - hit by 16 yo on her phone!

    I get what you are saying, but seems that if I carry high coverage insurance but someone who hits me (they are at fault) carries minimal coverage, given the high cost of Rivian repairs it could easily ā€˜limit out’ on the at fault driver’s coverage. Yes, my insurance company can then go the...
  6. Rollup "Powered Tonneau Cover V2" available option on some 2025 models now

    I sure do HOPE that it can handle at least a 'bag of groceries' load. I guess I've become spoiled by my Interrobang manual cover... that I (150 lbs) can stand on when necessary. What is the reasonable load limit that others have seen on the V1 PTC?
  7. Rollup "Powered Tonneau Cover V2" available option on some 2025 models now

    Assumption based on an expected thinner panel design in V2 to support roll-up format, or based on something else?
  8. California Dune Color - real life photos (R1S & R1T)

    Hope you enjoy it! Please contribute to this thread… V2 PTC …once you get yours to fill us in on all the details regarding the Version 2 Power Tonneau Cover. Inquiring minds want to know! Thanks
  9. Rollup "Powered Tonneau Cover V2" available option on some 2025 models now

    Based on past experience, that is fair. But obviously Rivian doesn’t want to be dogged forever by unsolved and ongoing warranty issues. So I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt that once they TRIED multiple times to just put better lipstick (springs, lube, etc.) on the V1, V1.1, V1.2 PTC...
  10. Newest Powered Tonneau Cover in action (3rd gen redesigned / improved version debut on Dune Edition R1T)

    Some additional Info on the V2 PTC found on Reddit, purportedly communicated from a Rivian inside salesperson: ā€œWith Powered Tonneau Cover V2, we’ve introduced a rollup design consisting of 36 interlocking slats that coil together when stowed. The purpose of this revision was to simplify...
  11. Tonneau options?

    Interrobang’s aluminum panels tonneau is a very high quality solution that slides into the OEM rails. The storage bag is extra, but all is very high quality kit. I’m a comparative light weight at 150 lbs, but I’ve stood on the middle of my Interobang tonneau multiple times to trim tree limbs...
  12. Frunk Emergency Access Tool Holder Idea

    Now THAT is thinking outside the box! I like your design a lot! If you market, count me in (no 3D printer here… and no interest in getting one).
  13. Newest Powered Tonneau Cover in action (3rd gen redesigned / improved version debut on Dune Edition R1T)

    Looking for feedback from the group regarding any quasi verified details on what Rivian is calling the V2 Powered Tonneau Cover (V2PTC). I am looking specifically for any measurements of any protrusion into the previously empty gear tunnel space as - possibly - shown in the earlier image in this...
  14. Backed into a pillar in a parking garage. Final repair bill...

    Not sure I can definitely answer your question regarding the Rivian’s engineering. But the ā€˜SpareBumper’ uses internal and external solid rubber ā€˜attenuation’ pieces for impact absorption. The external pieces are designed as large dense rubber rings (2) that fit around the outside of the square...
  15. Backed into a pillar in a parking garage. Final repair bill...

    After hearing about the high costs of minor repairs on Rivians, the first accessory I purchased (even before vehicle delivery) for my R1T - 'SpareBumper' - touted to absorb up to 30 mph impact. Hitch receiver mounted. You might consider... SpareBumper
  16. Advice from NW Rivian Owners

    Spoke to an owner of an R1T with almost exactly that area and severity of damage. Owner followed insurance company’s requirements… first estimate at a non-Rivian-certified shop just for an initial estimate: $9K. Then made appointment at Rivian-certified shop. Initial estimate: $42K. Seriously...
  17. Request: Manual retractable tonneau cover

    Oh how I remember the feeling of having the PTC yanked from my order… grrr. And so then putting my order on indefinite hold hoping they would resolve the issues… grrr. Finally deciding to pull the trigger before my early order deal was negated, accepting a manual cover instead. Luckily the...
  18. Beware, Beware the 12V Battery Warranty (Also positive Eastvale CA service center visit)

    For me - the guy who has spent too much on camping/overlanding accessories on his ā€˜retirement gift to himself’ to think about letting it go for the next 10 years - it was about buying an extended warranty now at a known price rather than trying to guess what an extended warranty will cost in 2-3...
  19. Tonneau covers: rivian 0 for 2.

    Was REALLY bummed when the PTC was pulled from my (what turned out to be 2024) order against my will. The Interrobang manual cover has worked great and standing on it (150 lbs) is no issue. But in my very tight garage with the door closed (so no room to drop the tailgate) it still sucks to not...
