Please let me know if you have installed heat rejection glass roof tint on your R1S and you are thrilled with the difference it has made with heat in the car. I got my R1S in the fall, and now here in South Florida the baffling no-shade feature is brutally hot. Any info you can provide on tint...
Bottom line is delaying the Georgia plant is a bad strategic move for the future of RIvian as a standalone company. Delaying the Georgia plant is likely just a move to plan an exit in the form of a takeover.
Even if Rivian could pull 20% gross margins on R2 (there is no way they will pull gross...
I use the R1S 3rd row almost every day and have a car seat in the third row all the time. I usually load the third kid for the third row from the tailgate. It's part of the adventure of the adventure vehicle.
I bought an absurd number of car seats until I found this one "Graco SlimFit3 LX...
We have a Quad R1S and a price-slash 2023 Model X Plaid (purchased when EM freaked out a few months ago and lowered the price of the MXP to $90,630, no upcharge for any color, for a hot minute). The Tesla supercharging network is really great. The MXP is awesome. If I had any use for a pickup...
You are probably right about the elastic. Why anyone thought it would be a good idea to put elastic in a door panel, and cover the lower part of the door with cloth is a engineering mystery.
This print takes about 18 hours on my machine because I print slowly with PETG.
The 3D Model STL file is shared here:

I printed with Overture Black PETG. I printed this on my Prusa MK3S+.
I designed and 3D printed this bottle holder for my Rivian R1S. Now I can put bottles in my doors.

Today (1/16/2024) I received the following email from tuxmat:

Thank you for your interest in TuxMat!
A 2023 Rivian R1S was recently scanned in our Toronto store and the production of the prototype is underway.
We hope to have custom fitting mats for your vehicle available in approximately...
I ordered one of these:
https://alldock.de/ALLDOCK-Split-cable-USB-C
..which claims to be the "world's only solution to extend the USB-C ports of your charger." It has shipped from Australia to the USA so I don't know how long it will take to arrive. I'll post info on it when I get it.
The 3D Model STL file is shared here:

I printed with Overture Black PETG on the Prusa Textured Powder-coated Steel Sheet. I printed this on my Prusa MK3S+.
On my R1S I wanted something more simple than the many products on the market, so I designed and 3D printed (yet another) MagSafe charging pad. Simple, charges 2 phones. 2 Apple OEM MagSafe chargers are installed from the bottom. No cutting or removing anything. This locks in and does not move...
R1S with 21" road tires. 110v at 14A I get about 1.4 mi/h charge rate. At 110v I frequently have to kick down the 16a to 14a to not blow a breaker (other things on the 20a circuit of course).
The NACS 277 Volt standard is the way to go for sure, but will be a total pain for us Rivian owners with pre-NACS vehicles. Hopefully Rivian makes the NACS R1S parts backward compatible with CCS R1Ts and R1Ss. Due to the 277 volt issue, this will require a new plug and new inverter.
This morning in m R1S with 2023.46.0 the infotainment went black and self-rebooted while driving, about 20 minutes into a drive. I was in the process of making an Alexa query for music and Alexa was in the process of responding when the software crash occurred. This is the first spontaneous...
I have this problem...grinding noise when telescoping the steering wheel in and out a on a weeks-old 700 mile R1S. I scheduled a service appointment and got a call from a Rivian rep a few hours later. He asked me to upload a video of the issue via the app and attach the video to the service...
Why did they put cloth on the lower area of the door panel of my amazing R1S. They look terrible all the time with dirt on them from, you know, shoes.
Has anyone ripped off the cloth to find presentable (better) plastic underneath, or is there some other solution?
So far, the dopey popout...
Has anyone done an analysis of the total R1S production rate to determine when they might get through the order book, so that we might have a general idea of when we might actually receive our R1Ses?
I ordered 2 LA Silver R1Ses in 2021. The original delivery estimate was Late 2024. In late 2022...
