  1. Beware, Beware the 12V Battery Warranty (Also positive Eastvale CA service center visit)

    Likely XCare, to get 100K+. Also Fidelity. I went with Fidelity although I was not offered a 100K option on my 2024 R1T, which I wish I had. I felt more comfortable at the time with the Fidelity exclusion list and reputation, but I think there are many similarities between the two. Due to the...
  2. Keep R1T After Warranty or buy new one

    Same reasoning I applied when I invested in my extended warranty. Even though I was barely over 10K miles on my 24 Gen 1 R1T, I wasn’t offered a 10 year extended thru Fidelity - 8 max. As much as I’ve invested in aftermarket items, I wish I had the 10 year. Just completed front damper and jounce...
  3. The preconditioning myth

    Ok, let me ask a possibility related question/option but that I haven’t seen mentioned. I have a Level 2 charger installed outside my garage. A not untypical use case for me is to park outside on a weekend day and charge to 70-80% using the Level 2. Then during the week do my local running...
  4. Saying Goodby for now

    Would you mind saying who you went with for the extended? Fidelity would only offer 8 years. Thanks

    No clearance issues for my Gen 1 truck. More details: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/for-people-who-dont-have-exposed-cargo-racks-where-do-you-store-jump-box
  6. Protect Your Rivian Rear!! DIY rear bumper protector

    As a few others here, I have the ā€˜Sparebumper’ - was the first accessory I bought for my R1T. Engineered for low speed impacts, and has a nice space inside for tools.
  7. Anyone have any luck finding 3rd party extended warranty?

    No recommendations, sorry… but also looking for the same in an extended warranty. If you don’t mind saying, were you a major off-road user? Worried if these major parts are not holding up for 78K miles!
  8. Bait and switch - frustrated with inability to use music apps without Connect+

    Don’t want to hijack the thread, but it seems to have shifted slightly from the OP, which I thought was about what I am experiencing… so just to clarify, is anyone experiencing the following: I let my Connect+ lapse (mostly just to test), and now… - I have no Amazon Music access when signed into...
  9. 12V in Frunk - Factory OEM Retrofit Install Finished!

    Details please? OEM harness… so your Rivian was one of the limited group that still had the harness connections but not the outlet? Correct? Links/sources for parts utilized? Any details you can share on installation process, or if you just followed steps/parts listed in another post, please...
  10. Some details about 12V jumping and jump boxes (after an accident)

    Interesting and useful information - thanks for trying things and posting. Problem is, as I indicated in the other thread, ideally I’m looking for a solution (jump box) that I can access from outside the truck… in case (likely) I get stranded with the dreaded surprise 12V failure. So having a...
  11. Just got a Gen 2 2025 R1S dual motor performance max. Some impressions:

    Yeah… same front wheel drive bias for my Gen 1 R1T Dual Max in All Purpose. So I worry about excessive tire wear as well. Like you, I've considered driving around in sport or snow mode (in Florida ;-) just to get AWD… and not worry about the range impact unless I’m doing long road trips. But I...
  12. 2025 R1S updated must-have accessories list?

    My first accessory purchases… based on Forum-reported rear impact repair costs and frequency of 12V failures: Trailer hitch rear end impact attenuation bumper (ā€˜Super Bumper’) and tools/jump box that fit inside.
  13. Crack in Glasroof of R1S

    My personal experience: After various troubleshooting steps on my own, reported a non-functional Rivian home charger issue via a service ticket. Made multiple calls to service regarding status every 4-5 days when it seemed no action was being taken; walked thru various troubleshooting steps...
  14. Clunking sound from front end.

    8 years is the drivetrain coverage… which doesn’t include the suspension per my read of the warranty… so wouldn’t that be just 5 years (or in my case only 4)?
  15. Service Center Lesson: Remove ALL Accessories

    Curious if this would be true for all brands of gear tunnel slides (probably). Which brand do you have? And regarding water tank, which brand and location for that. Thanks.
  16. Gear Tunnel Slide Options Compared

    Yes, per @BoxGods 50 orders are needed. 250 people were on the Rivian Aftermarket website list waiting for final design and pricing to be locked ($995 plus shipping) and the ā€˜Production Validation Article’ to be installed and tested in an actual truck. See this link for the test unit… looks...
  17. Bluetti Portable Power Station - Is This The Deal It Seems To Be?

    Looks great… and now I’m interested… but I don’t see the 50% discount on the link. Still valid?

    For those following @BoxGods gear tunnel slide and camp kitchen design/build, the order book for the slide just opened. https://rivian-aftermarket.proboards.com/thread/25/slide-utility-tray-project-info?page=31&scrollTo=1712 ā€œHello to all of our Rivian Aftermarket Group Members We are now...
