  1. Rivians Loaded onto trains in Normal

    Delivery center said they used a iron remover wash after receiving the truck from rail. I still did an iron remover at home before coating it, and there was still some left.
  2. Mount four bikes on cross bars over bed with bed rack?

    Those are the 1up roof top, with the flush mount (allows to connect to rivian crossbar). They are adjustable to slide the rack backwards so the tires and rack stay away from the spoiler. Have two, work great.
  3. ⚠️ Rivian Recall: insufficiently torqued front upper control arm & steering knuckle fastener [official torque value = 90 lb-ft / 122 Nm]

    When I called last night at 11pmPST (there was someone that picked up! that line has someone 24/7), they gave me the hours and said just show up.
  4. ⚠️ Rivian Recall: insufficiently torqued front upper control arm & steering knuckle fastener [official torque value = 90 lb-ft / 122 Nm]

    Was at South SF Service center at 8am, they have a pop-up service lane with 4 spots. Like advertised, took less than 10 minutes. Put truck in rock-crawler mode, tech with torque wrench asks you to turn full tilt each side so they can access and check the nuts. No issues on my truck or the one...
  5. 2022.35 OTA software update rumors?

    My request: charge by timing Given how large this battery is, even with level 2 40A at home a substantial charge can take a long time. Given I have time of use billing with the electrical company, would like to have car determine when it needs to start charging to finish by a certain time. My...
  6. Nothing

    I have a 4-bike Kuat NV 2.0 attached to a Yakima backswing. It works, but it extends out quite far behind the truck. Clearance from the bumper without any added extender. When swung out, the tailgate can come down.
  7. iPhone 14 Pro is not compatible with the Rivian Charge Pad

    oops. Mine 14 is coming next week. Guess ill get to use that USB-C to lightning cable!
  8. Glass roof UV reduction efficiency measured (@ First Mile Dallas)

    I almost suspect that a reason tint companies may not want to tint these larger panoramics is that it seems like a huge pain in the ass to do so, and it would require larger sheets of film that are more expensive or they dont want to deal with the extra labor involved.
  9. Glass roof UV reduction efficiency measured (@ First Mile Dallas)

    Honest question about the concerns for tint/ceramic/IR films on the roof. I tried to search for any real issued warnings/disclaimers about this, from a manufacturer of car glass, OEM, tint companies and couldn't find anything. There are some comments about it on the web, forums, etc, but it...
  10. Installed on R1T: Tinted ROOF glass and CLEAR FRONT windshield HEAT and UV blocker film and window tint!!

    I'm having my roof tinted right now with Suntek CIR to help with the heat in the cabin. Have several friends who have tinted the roof window in their teslas, Taycans, etc and the difference is immense in comfort.
  11. Time for a Lube Party... Dry Lube = answer to the tonneau cover issues

    My R1T is 98XX, so right around that 10K point. I havent had any problems yet, have lubed the track with CRC dry lube. It seems to operate the same as other videos I've seen. Doesn't stop me from holding my breath each time I touch the button, hoping today is not the day it gets stuck...
  12. Dust buildup from driving on gravel roads

    does the dust collect in the tonneau storage area? Curious if that could add to tonneau woes
  13. Best product for tonneau panels protection / maintenance ?

    Just applied gtechniq C4 on all the plastic trim on the truck, and it looks amazing. However, it makes the tonneau cover stand out as not as deep in color. Trying to identify what this is made of. Is it powder coated aluminum? Anyone decided on an ideal protectant product, particularly...
  14. Rivian Transitioning to Railway Train Transport For Deliveries

    For any detailing minded folks curious about iron deposition with rail transit… When I picked up my R1T from South SF, they said that they had put it though an iron bath to remove iron contaminants picked up en route. I wanted to be extra sure before putting PPF on it this week, so did...
  15. Delay your order (on purpose)?

    picked up mine this week. VIN 98XX. I've gone over and over the car trying to identify build quality issues to submit a ticket for. I havent been able to find anything yet, its practically flawless. There is one weatherstripping part that is rolled outwards in front of the passenger door, but...
  16. Tonneau cover issues

    Just g Just got my truck Tuesday, VIN 98xx, and I’m so afraid of this (getting stuck when I need to contain things). Already sprayed the rails with PTFE dry lube, but we shall see!
  17. Maxtrax attatchments

    Me too! Looks like a lot of adjustability. Should be able to work nicely with the ActionTrax and other boards. (I’ll report back if it doesn’t)
