Rivians do go to sleep, even if plugged in. Gen 1 Rivians don't charge the 12V battery while it is asleep. If the 12V drops low enough, it will wake up the truck to begin recharging it. That is a charging cycle. A trickle charger (battery tender, or similar) will keep the battery in the upper...

I'll order a shaft collar the next time I place an order with McMaster-Carr, to see if it looks like it'll work.

Thank you, Jeff. I've got my order in. Even though there's no clarity as to what tariffs will be when it arrives, I'll just hope for the best.

Uh, oh. I'll have to figure out how to change my order, or cancel.

"Fully enclosed" means it doesn't have side windows, but the sides still open - is that correct?

That just increases the number of charge cycles, and the amount of time it spends at low charge. Plugging in a battery tender will do a better job of charging it, and keeping it in the upper acceptable range.

So get a portable hole, then, and pound it into the grass - heavy-duty rebar or angle iron, with a couple of rings welded to it, so you can slip your flagpole into it.

Which model are Rivian owners installing?

It's been quite awhile since cougars showed much interest in me.

Stationary objects often follow me much too closely, even when I ask them nicely not to. /JK

" What do you think are the dangers of driving at night?" Other cars.

Since the bed is something like 7 feet long (with the tailgate down), a 10 foot load, properly secured (with a red flag or red light), is doable. I have also seen it suggested that one could sling a long load underneath, held up with connection to the hitch and one of the front hooks (no...

With the recent appeals court decision, which casts doubt on the Trump tariffs, I'll roll the dice and place my order. If I can still get in on this order.

It's not just the $200. I don't like the way I was treated during the supposed sale over the 4th of July. I had really been looking forward to adding this capability to my truck, but I am not currently inclined to give that outfit my money.

Glad to hear that "the entire unit is being replaced." Finally. Maybe I'll eventually get a working PTC. Maybe.

Search here in the forums. A couple of years ago someone repaired his bound-up PTC, and documented the steps. It was a major job. Since you are only wanting to remove non-functioning slats, to open up the bed, it might not be such a big job.

I may look into buying a used comma, instead.

That battery has the red and black terminals on the wrong side. Do your adapters shift the position, front to back, enough to connect the OEM wiring harness?

Honestly, I would if I were you. If the roll-up you've got works for you, stick with it. Or use your experience with it to inform what you'd like your next one to be, and then research what's available. Maybe the new V2 will be the ultimate powered tonneau that fits in the R1T (without taking...

My R1T (G1) had a nonfunctional (disabled) PTC at delivery. After waiting for over a year, they installed the "updated" PTC (V1.5?) parts, which worked for about 8 months. It's been 7 or 8 months, now, since it failed. The last communication from the SC is that parts are not available, and they...
