Keep checking Craigslist; I check it regularly for deals on Rivian accessories, and most weeks there are 1-3 sellers with bars, usually silver. I did notice today that one person is renting bars and one is selling a single bar in SFBA.
I've purchased these for the last four wagons/SUVs I've owned; you'll forget about the price in the first year when you realize how much cleaning time you save. They are machine washable too, but frequent washing is probably going to ruin the waterproofing features...
That's much more than what my 74K '22 has seen, but she's been in the shop more than I'd like. All in, it's still the best vehicle experience I've ever had; unfortunately, there's no equivalent vehicle for sale that offers the same upsides. Maybe someday Tesla will take the "cyber" out of their...
As @SwampNut already stated, a standard inverter is designed to convert DC to AC only one way; the circuits inside would not convert 120V inputs to the 400V battery, or any other DC systems for that matter. There are some inverters designed to go both ways, but no automaker, to my knowledge, is...
In my experience shopping for R1Ts, there will be a larger price gap; both should be pretty close in capabilities and speed. There are lots of refinements to Gen 2, but what stands out for me would be autonomy and the v2 tanneau cover (mid 2025). CCS port is just fine. Don't forget about the...
My thoughts exactly; just because it has an official-sounding site name doesn't mean it has anything newsworthy to say. The fact that the site is littered with little ads all over the place just screams AI SLOP. I have several online sources that I go to get my EV news updates, and this site has...
Sorry to hear about your sour experience; it would be helpful for us Gen1 owners to know what to expect. What exactly did they say needed to be replaced (damper, air shock, etc.), and what did they quote you to get her back up and running?
I'm at 72K, and my costs have been similar, not counting tires. Just replaced batteries for $550, got lucky with the tanneau cover failing at 59K. HS washers are clicking again, and I've decided to just live with it. It's less convenient to take her in to SC, 30-40 mins away, than the local...
Thanks for posting. I have yet to buy a trailer due to the lack of space to garage it at my house, but this is exactly the kind of road tripping I want to do in my truck. I plan to rent a trailer on Outdoorsy before going full in. I feel the charging experience gets better every year, especially...
There's one product on the market that stands out as the absolute best, IMO, but they don't yet list the R2 model on their site. If you can afford to wait, I suggest reaching out to ask them the timeline for releasing an R2 version. On the contacts page, there's a form to ask about a vehicle...
I did my own sleuthing at the time and concluded it was more of an annoyance, not an early sign of life-safety failure; the Rivian SC told me the same. That's the main reason that I decided to live with it long-term.
There are a few common pain points like the tanneau covers, 12V batteries, A/C...
I had mine replaced last week; I have an early Gen1 that uses two batteries. The total was $549.55 out the door, including a $259 credit for the second battery. They called it a BOGO fee, helping those of us with the two-battery setup and larger battery replacement costs.
I feel these Ohmmu...
Thought you might want to know that Rivian will send you the past service history. I asked local SC, and they said they can't do it there, but that they thought the Rivian headquarters would send me the history. I called them this morning and received redacted service bills for the entire life...
There are a few flippers with listings, but not many. I suspect people recall the recent bad financial choices others made when buying an overpriced Cybertruck. CARS.COM currently has two R2s listed, $77.4K & $79.5K for those two. I've also seen Craigslist ads offering to transfer their early...
Yeah, my halfshaft clicks came back in less than a year after replacement, but it doesn't bother me enough to pay out of pocket to replace them again. That is where the Meridian audio comes in handy :rock: .
Congrats on the milestone and thanks for sharing. I've been waiting anxiously for nearly 2 years for the R2 to be available, and now that it's here, I'm having a hard time considering giving up my R1T. At 72K I've been in the wind from a warranty standpoint for almost a year, but she still...
