The replacement parts situation at Rivian is currently a mess.
I tried to purchase a new hood emblem since the original was removed to apply PPF film to the hood. I placed 3 calls to Rivian Service Support and got nowhere. They took my number and said they would call me back. Crickets so far...
Your dealing with electricity flowing from your casa to your vehicle. This is not the time to penny pinch on a "el cheapo" charging adapter. Do your due diligence before making a purchase.
I fully understand. Also, Rivian R1T resale prices are finally leveling off.
Here is a 5k mile R1T sale from today...

I have not, only XPEL Ultimate. It's the only film that my installer uses now. He is 100% sold on the product and has been installing PPF for almost a decade.

The PDR technician made $350 an hour that day. Not a bad day at the office!
Was the $3500 repair covered by insurance or out of pocket?
My R1T has been great so far regarding noise in this area. I incur zero wind noise at city or highway speeds?
Something has to be abnormal as the R1T was designed and validated not to make wind noise under normal operating conditions.
Strange indeed.
I picked out a shop truck on 11/14 and it had a build date of October 22nd. It was ready to be delivered at my CA service center 3-weeks after making my selection.
The Ford Lightning that I owned for a brief 3-months experienced very little vampire drain. It would lose 1-2 miles over an entire WEEK.
