This is excellent! I've had a few people reach out to me about doing something like this. Alas, I have an R1T so I couldn't test it. I'm happy to help in any way I can, and quickly.
Hey everyone - just a quick update on this.
I was just on the phone with the wholesaler for these, and availability is next to zero for the time being. I was able to grab about a dozen sets from inventory -- they'll be in stock on Thursday -- but everything else is looking like end of March...
Rivian cannot put a service center in PA due to laws enacted after Tesla entered the market. There was a lengthy discussion about this as a 'headwind' around IPO time.
I'm over in Pittsburgh and have a drive to Cleveland every time I need service, so I feel your pain.
I'd suggest reaching out...
Hello my dudes!
A second announcement for today, this one being for a significantly updated product -- the OpenSourceEV Parts Aux Cup Holder V2.
Updates to this product are based on community feedback:
Front Door and Center Console cup holders now sit higher to allow you to remove...
Hello my dudes!
Today is another super exciting day - allow me to officially introduce the OpenSourceEV Parts NextGen Phone Mount. It's the latest generation of the best phone mount on the market for Rivian R1T and R1S. NextGen is completely redesigned mount, and like the Left Mount V2, it...
I ended up replacing my 20' Pirelli tires at around 12k due to the drone. It was so, so loud.
I have a bit over 6k on my Yoko Geolander G015's and they're ... fine. $300 each, 4% less range, and a bit softer overall. I'd probably make a different choice, but I don't have regret buying them.
I would do a complete reset -- not just the infotainment reset -- and see if that helps at all. My guess is that might be caught in a state and that would clear it.
From what I've read about this, it appears to be substantially a servicing issue. Expensive and lengthy repairs really take a toll on the overall profitability of a vehicle that must be on the road to make the financials work ta all.
I've encountered zero issues with my truck sleeping correctly with this connected to the OBD-II port. It's sleeping right now and my unplugged vampiric drain has always been good.
Hi Brian - Most mounts use the 17MM standard. RAM tends to use the 1" setup and Peak Designs tends to use the 20MM setup.
We are starting to see some that use the 16MM setup, but that's pretty rare.
I've had one of these connected to the Scosche adapter in my truck for the last year plus without issue.
FWIW, I've added a disclaimer to the item on my site as I resell this product.
Also - its worth noting that that was posted here and anything made going forward will is done in a slightly lighter shade of black as it matches better with the interior of the car. Best example showing this is the upcoming Aux Cupholder V2:
(the white balance here makes it look more grey...
Production intent:
Keep in mind that these are still 3D printed. They are also not quite perfect due to the need for supports in general. For instance, here is a zoomed closeup of the passenger top corner -- the worst area:
(again, disregard the line in the middle of the front...
Update:
I've been working a bit on this, trying to get the supports correct enough to make it acceptable as an item that can be produced:
(disregard the line in the front - that is from a filiment roll change)
I think I've nailed it. So much so that I'm looking to move forward on...
