The efficiency and charging curve looks to be disappointing, especially compared to all of the hype we were forced to endure over the last few years.
Let's hope that it charges better when hooked up to a 800V dispenser.
I did something similar in our R1S using fuse taps. I was going to use a surface mount like the OP, but realized that I could drill holes in the console organizer I bought from Amazon.

Don't get too excited. It's likely that the built in SXM will be streaming only and linked to your VIN as if it was using the satellite receiver. That means you will have to pay for an additional subscription even if you have a streaming plan with another vehicle.
I guess I will be forced to...
Does anyone know what the the socket on the tie down is used for (circled in red below)? It looks like it should accept some sort of pin and appears to unlock when the button with the Rivian logo is pressed.
It could be useful for attaching accessories like camp kitchens or slide out...
Another update from Plugshare--the utility (WPS) has energized the site and it's all in EA hands now. Fingers crossed for an expedient response from EA (haha).
I'm guessing that R1Ts are not that uncommon on Ventura Boulevard nowadays. I think Alan Ruck was within a mile of Ventura when he crashed his R1T :CWL:
Awesome! I hope you'll eventually offer your dash bracket with a ball mount that can be used with 3rd party phone cradles and devices. I don't think there are any other brackets like yours elsewhere.
I think you can see a bit of cord on the left-facing side of the dash when the door is open, but nothing is visible from the driver or passenger seats.
#3--non-standard colors are not allowed by NHTSA when the vehicle is in motion. It would be cool to have the ability to change colors when parked though.
#4--this will likely come only after Rivian introduces a paid data plan and starts to monetize their infotainment.
There's no need to remove the screen. You should be able to gently lift the top part of the dash with a trim tool and slip the wire underneath if the it's thin enough. You can then run it across the left of the dash and route it around the driver's side door trim.
I know for a fact that the...
I would recommend against clicking through to the DailyMail page since they specialize in anti-EV articles and general misinformation. Best to go to the source article at: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/hybrids-evs/real-world-ev-range-tests-models-that-beat-epa-estimates-a1103288135/
I have the Bambu Labs X1 Carbon and it's easier to use than my laser printer. It's pretty much ready to print right out of the box and handles all of the calibration and bed leveling automatically.
I highly recommend it.
Don't go through your guide. Call the 855-RIVIAN5 number listed on the spare tire kit to order it. Tell them you are pre-Mar 1st and they will confirm the date of your order and honor the $450 price.
