You are not going to miss it. My silly camp speaker doesn't even work 99% of the time, in fact I've only been able to get it to work with my iPhone 13S once. I finally gave up and just threw it in a box in the garage and am filling the cavity in my center console with miscellaneous crap that...
Yeeehaww!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU RIVIAN! Just in time. I am stoked to use the Las Vegas charger in about two weeks for a 4-day offroading trip in the desert.
Do you happen to have a photo of your setup? I'm wondering how to route the antenna cable. I was thinking that you could go from the gear tunnel into the cab via a gromet, but how to get to the roof? I kinda wish that the R1T just came with a regular old metal roof for this application.
How about a plush "comfort backrest" for the Rivian seats, which fills the seat gap by the shoulders? You could sell them in pairs. I think most owners agree that the seats aren't very comfortable and that is one thing that needs improvement...
Bummer to see this happened to you man. That has to suck seeing such damage to your nearly new vehicle!
Question for you guys with experience living in the hail zone: Could this damage have been partially or largely negated if Rivian didn't use aluminum the thickness of tinfoil for the stamping...
I told you man, complain about anything in this forum and the fanboys come out with pitch forks and give you a head trip making you question your own sanity. Posting anything mildly critical on this forum is like being abducted and then slowly brainwashed into thinking it is your own fault.
On...
Has anyone hard wired a ham radio into their R1T yet? I've got a Yeasu FT7900 from my old F150 that I need to install. I also need some ideas on where to mount the antenna. I may opt for a door mount since we're stuck with a full glass roof.
Very cool, I will be picking one up. I appreciate you guys getting into the aftermarket and will get some of your other stuff as well.
Agreed that the spring retention on the carabiner is too light. Need to figure out a mod to put a heavier duty spring in their, like 4x as strong.
I like the open design, but I could see Rivian offering an option in the future like Ford, either an open center, enclosed center console, or jumpseat.
What the interior needs first is to ditch the camp speaker which 99% of people will never use and make a lockable storage drawer.
Good mod Revin, thank you for that link, I am going to purchase the same covers and keep a makeshift pad on the seat behind it. Part of the difficulty in designing a pad is that the seam with the stitching is stiffer than the surrounding material, so you almost need something to overlap it. My...
I am noting how those advocating for leasing have not provided any hard numbers.
We as humans are more emotional than we are rational. We drum up in our minds what we feel and then use logic to rationalize those emotions.
Until someone provides some hard numbers, I say you're still paying more...
I'm at 1.79kWh/mi with 20" ATs. Built in April, delivered in May '22. The area I live in (south OC socal) has some hills but no mountain driving. I am always in all purpose, high regen, soft ride mode. Never use conserve mode. All city/highway mix, no offroading yet. Only have 2,000mi on the clock.
Tall guy here. I can't for the life of me understand why Rivian decided to cut out a portion of the seat which results in my shoulder blades digging into it. Scrap that, I do understand why--they did it to make the seats look super duper cool! Although I don't recall any other manufacturer's...
I can't stand the blinker noise either so I literally no longer use my blinkers when at stop lights. Not sure what was wrong with the blinker noises we have been using for the last 75 years, but Rivian has to reinvent the wheel wherever and whenever possible.
Just my 2 cents...
Oh and also, if...
That key ring product is a clever idea, I'll have to watch out for an aftermarket version for Rivian. Then again, I don't wear my wedding ring in the water because I've heard of guys losing it...just heard a story this summer of that exact thing happening, guy lost it the first year he was...
So what are you guys/gals doing for vehicle access when you surf? I have just been throwing my wrist band in a rag in the truck bed after locking it, looking all inconspicuous. I'm not to worried about people rummaging through my truck where I surf, heck I would probably feel OK leaving it...
