Rivian should contract with a packaging engineering firm to design boxes/crates to protect these scarce and expensive parts during the shipping process. With the millions of dollars of parts that they ship, it won't take many saves to pay for whatever it costs. Happier customers would be the...

What do you sell?

But he wasn't injured, and he wasn't stranded on the side of the road. I'd call that a win - two wins, in fact.

This is just unacceptable. These are expensive and hard-to-get parts. Rivian needs to have rigid crates built to ship these parts. Sure, it'll cost more to ship them, but if a higher percentage arrive undamaged, it'll pay off - both in parts cost, and in customer happiness.

That door with the "unrepairable stamping defect" would be perfect for a temporary repair to keep OP's Rivian on the road while awaiting the perfect new parts. I can't understand the mentality that it is okay to leave customers waiting for months and months. Rivian needs to do better, to be more...

Surely any sane retailer shops the competition. How can pricing DCFC so far above the competition be called "testing?" Everyone already knows the end result.

It'll be a stiff and bumpy ride if you keep it in the lowest position all the time.

It happened to me a couple of days ago - it rebooted once while I was driving on the interstate. That was the first time in the 2+ years and 37k miles I've owned my 2022 R1T. I am so glad that I had read about it on these forums, so it didn't freak me out.

Unlock all doors or only unlock the driver's door is a setting - you can change that. My R1T has a very distinct difference between partial and full pull on the blinker lever - the amount of force to go beyond half pull is very obvious. There may be something wrong with yours.

"Only thing that has me hesitant is the mileage, 39,000 miles. Now I am coming from a Tesla Model Y so I know the mileage of a used EV is nothing like the wear similar miles would have on an ICE vehicle. I guess I am just looking for a bit of reassurance from current R1T owners that my...

Is it the steel L-brackets that you are concerned may flex and fatigue, or is it the Weistec aluminum port adapters?

Another option would to get a heavy duty floor mat (door mat) from Home Depot or similar stores. I did that two years ago, and it is still functional. I think it was about $40 for a 4x8' mat, which I cut to length.

" I don't have a very solid analysis on whether this will fully support a 600lb load since we are changing from tensile stress to shear stress but my gut feeling tells me that it will be okay. Does anyone has experience on this? " You are wondering whether the four brackets will handle the...

Has anyone tried a desulfator/charger, like a BatteryMinder...

Read a page or two, to understand - you won't need to read all 8 pages.

These are the Weistec adapters, that you are speaking, here? If so, I am definitely interested, and it makes me make even more interested in getting in on the next batch of toppers.

Mine did - v1.1 lasted about 10 months. I am currently in a two month queue to have it serviced.

If the OP has a Gen 1, as I assume is the case, it isn't going to do what he desires. Highway Assist will probably, over time, work on more highways, but I think that Rivian is devoting its efforts to implement level 3 driver assistance to its Gen 2 vehicles. If the OP wants something better in...

This whole conversation becomes so much easier if one reads enough of the user manual to understand what "Highway Assist" is, and where it works. There is no other true lane centering, unless it is in Highway Assist (which will only function on mapped highways).

Ummm. Cost? Are you forgetting cost? Like a thousand dollars difference? And the fact that Safelite can probably get to it quickly, and finish it quickly.
