I'll try and get a diagram/template posted. I made a few different versions inspired by what others have posted:
60/40 split - hotdog fold:
I also made an insert that just covers the underseat storage. This is a nice option in that I can actually fold the seats down on top of it. Works well...
I saw this as well. It even prompted me to write them a comment via their Contact Us page. I have low expectations that they'll redact that article, which is littered with complete misinterpretations. I legitimately can't tell if it's intentionally misleading to support their well-documented...
Pixel 6A user. My truck didn't wake up as I approached it. Unlocked with the app and no issues getting it to start.
Generally PAAK has been decent for me, so it not unlocking as I approach is somewhat of an anomaly.
Background: My first job was at Discount Tire and I have what I'd consider moderate mechanical experience from working on cars over the years. In preparation to have snow tires put on my R1T, I opted to remove the panels because I too thought $200 was an absurd expense for what is a...
You should map this out on A Better Route Planner. When doing so, I would suggest modifying the default settings to a more realistic efficiency (I think it defaults to like 2.3 mi/kWH, which is too aggressive for my risk tolerance). For example, on a recent trip, I estimated at 1.6 mi/kWh given...
I have an Overhead Door Co (Model 696CD/B). Unfortunately, no luck programming with a working remote, nor with the Amazon remotes Quattro Powers suggested.
I tried several different remotes (both that were included from Amazon, a key fob style remote, and two other working openers). The truck...
Just placed an order for the Blizzak LTs. For what it's worth, Costco is offering $150 back right now. Worked out to ~$1100 after install and tax. Discount Tire is offering $110 back online (and will usually price match/beat it. Give your local store a call).
A few thoughts (and this thread was...
Took delivery yesterday as expected. Overall, it was an easy experience. The delivery person/guide was very knowledgeable and an R1T owner.
Overall, the truck was in great shape. A few minor issues - couldn't get my garage door opener to pair (Overhead Door Co. - trying a different universal...
The truck should be delivered in the next few hours. I'll admit, the process was insanely rushed (I only had ~12 business hours to work through financing, insurance, registration etc) and while I was able to get through all of it, it was hectic.
I'm hoping everything works out. Feel like I know...
Update. I locked my configuration on November 9.
Got my 8 steps today (12/1) and was able to schedule delivery for Monday 12/5. A bit of a fire drill trying to get financing and insurance turned around this quickly but....We'll see!
I mean....I get it. Vote with your dollars. I'm all for that.
To maybe clarify my position a bit better - I knew things were going to break. I accepted that.
BUT, I can't see ownership as viable if they can't competently fix whatever breaks AND I have to spend my time shuttling the vehicle...
Have either of you pushed back on Rivian? I'm shocked by how many owners seem to be taking this in stride. There's a repeated pattern I'm seeing where: A) Rivian wants you to spend your time getting the truck to/from them (despite promises that this would not be the service delivery model B)...
Nope. Like I said, it's kind of nasty stuff, so I wouldn't let it dwell/dry on the paint, but it's a tried-and-true product that's well-regarded in the detailing community.
Correct. The product reacts to and "binds" to the iron. You'll see the iron-x turn either purple or red (e.g. Sonax wheel...
Iron-X is pretty nasty, but a very effective product. I use it on my cars ever year or two as part of a decontamination/correction.
I'll be interested in how much iron EVs collect given the limited use of friction brakes. I assume they'll still be affected given environmental contamination.
Another slam dunk by the Rivian PR team.....
6/11/2022 - Rivian communicated a Nov-Dec 2022 estimate
10/21/2022 - Received a "we're not making the powered tonneau" e-mail. Changed my config.
10/28/2022 - Received a "we're not making your color combo" e-mail as delivery estimates went live in...
