  1. Thule’s new “Outset” 2024 hitch-mount tent a good fit for Rivian R1S?

    That really comes across as a solution looking for a problem. I’d much rather get a hatch back connected tent. I guess one advantage is that you can disconnect the tent from your vehicle and have it available for driving. But you could also just get a ground tent for a ton less money and more...
  2. iKamper X Cover 2.0 install on R1S

    Hmm, iKamper used to have an aero shield that could be placed in front of the X-Cover to reduce wind noise. I guess they discontinued that when they killed the X-Cover 1.0.
  3. Colorado Checking In

    That was a helluva game.
  4. Gear Tunnel shaped Duffel Bag at the Gear Shop.

    Yea, if I still had my Rivian Blue truck, I might not have ordered. But now, with Launch Green, itā€˜s a no brainer.
  5. Frunk Fridge Update. Dometic?

    Yup. That’s pretty much the case right now. However search the forums and there are threads showing how to wire up a 12v outlet in the frunk. The only question there is whether or not the wiring harness still has provisions to wire it up.
  6. Colorado Checking In

    I’ve stopped using Conserve mode on I-70. Regen braking works better in all purpose mode and I think it’s a big benefit in the mountains. Conserve mode isn’t helping range enough to justify its use through the Rockies. Conserve mode, however, is extremely useful along more flat areas like...
  7. Gear Tunnel shaped Duffel Bag at the Gear Shop.

    Don't forget the socks.. :CWL: Anyways, the bomber doesn't do much for me. I wish they had gone with an MA-1 based design and embroidered the Rivian logo on it. Anyways, I still have my bomber from the Army. ?
  8. Gear Tunnel shaped Duffel Bag at the Gear Shop.

    I did a search and didn't see anyone posting this. The tailgate pad is getting attention but Rivian also released a new duffel bag and a packing cube set. Both have Rivian branding but the duffel bag is shaped to fit in the gear tunnel. It looks like a quality product as well. I just ordered...
  9. RIP Vegan Dashboard

    yup, it had a really good looking fabric on it. It looks a helluva lot better than the vegan leather (such a stupid name). Rivian has perhaps the best looking wooden dash in the industry.
  10. Automatic Tonneau Cover Retrofit Fix Update...

    I’ll believe it when I see it,,,, on my truck. Yea, I’m going in on Sept 20th. It’d be nice to get that done but I’m definitely not counting on it. IMO, if they were really this close to having a fix done, they would have announced it already.
  11. Gary visits Mt Evans

    Decided to take a little road trip over the Mt Evans. For those that don’t know This is a 14000+ ft mountain in Colorado, near Idaho Springs. The road to the top is the highest paved road in North America. It’s a really nice way to beat the heat. It was only 59F at the top. :) BTW, if you ever...
  12. Rivian Patents R1S Camp Kitchen Design

    Rivian has already botched the good will everyone had towards to gear tunnel based camp kitchen. Now we have an aftermarket option that is MUCH better and more affordable. There are already several SUV based kitchens available out there. I think their attention is best put somewhere else
  13. Which extension cord?

    Good move. Just remember that ALL of the outlets have a total output of 1500w. So if you plug in a fridge using 1000w, you can only power another device using 500w. Check your fridge specifications to find the wattage. I shouldn't be a problem but it's good to know now.
  14. Which extension cord?

    The outlets are 120v and 1500watts. So you just need a cable that can handle 12.5 amps at a minimum. (1500w/120v=12.5amps)
  15. New garage open/close from steering wheel feature is awesome

    The garage function alone makes me very happy. I was watching how close I had to be to the house before it prompted me and frankly it was perfect. I was alerted immediately after turning the corner onto my street. Also, proximity unlocking, when the truck is sleeping, is working VASTLY...
  16. What *Really* happens to used EV batteries (Jerry Rig Everything vid)

    We've all seen the FUD about EV battery recycling, or the lack there of. Jerry Rig Everything has a great explainer on how our batteries are being recycled.
  17. Should I cancel $1800 manual tonneau cover order?

    If you can cancel and get a refund, you absolutely should. It appears to be a very overpriced piece of junk.
  18. Popular wherever i find myself. (The truck is)

    I remember the first week I had my R1T. I stopped at Home Depot and a fellow redneck in a bro dozer got out and asked, ā€œWTF IS THAT?!?!?ā€ He thought initially it was some Chinese made truck but really got interested when I told him it was an American company and built in Illinois. The brother...
