Advice sought and no doubt a fairly dumb question as one can get used to anything over time. However, we've nver had a vehicle with running boards...I'm 6' and my wife is 5'9". However, the effects of time have started to hit knees, ankles and hips. After long, moderately difficult hikes, the...

Crazy bad to be sure; however, the suggestion that this means hidden stuff is likely to be a QC issue is not accurate. In fact, the opposite is just as likely to be the case. It's called inattentional blindness. It's a crazy phenonomon to be suret but basically, he QC person may have been so...

I get the not liking the beadlock look....but I do find the poser moniker a bit funny when you consider that probably 75% of R1T users will never haul sheetgoods, a load of mulch or even very large, bulky cargo that requires a truck bed. Or how about the 20's? When I decided I did not care for...

No good deed goes unpunished. I happen to be THAT guy! I guarantee you at the exact moment I moved over on the wrong side of the street, some kid would come flying out of his driveway on his dirt bike and slam into me. Forget about the lawsuits and the civil and criminal trials, the kid...

Not sure where you are getting your information (there are actually a fair number of Rivians in NC). First, I don't understand how direct sales in NC would impact you since you already have it??? Second, it isn't any more difficult to register your Rivian than any other make of car. The process...

Thanks for the input. Since I have dogs, my back seat has a dog cover, which means I never use the under seat storage so I forgot completely about that. For me, it's the perfect place to store this stuff. Right now leaning towards the bottle jack and puck @Mark_AZR1T suggested with the hold...

So how do you pack it and where do you carry it? Do you keep the jack upright and/or are you concerned about a leak with the bottle jack if it is laying down

Rivian's timing for delivery is suspect at best so I'm not waiting on the spare availability. I'm also not surprised to hear the that kit that comes with it is not particularly robust. To be clear, I am not looking for a kit that is top-of-the-line with, for example, a torque wrench. I have a...

Like many, my R1T has no spare. It appears that many have gone the route of getting a spare via the secondary market (people changing wheels and offering their old wheels individually). I'm headed down that same path and wondered what people are doing to create their own tire change kit. What...

When I gave up waiting for the max pack, I switched to the 21" option to maximize range. I figured I would wait until they wore out to decide my permanant solution since, by then, I would have a better feel for my real world range. While in the mountains this week, I was tempted to go offroad...

Strange, I'm in NC. With two of the top six dealership conglomerates, Sonic and Hendrick, based in NC it's no surprise that no direct sales or service is allowed. The closest service center to me is ~4 hours away in Atlanta yet I received my R1T last month.

I joked earlier about saying that some unexpected behaviour was a feature; however, your are spot on. I've seen many times where the development side thought a requirement was stupid, expressed that concern, and were told they were the stupid ones. So the 'feature' was included only to have to...

Yeah, seems like a reasonable guess, but who the heck knows what they may be doing. If one ever wants to experience the law of unintended consequences...get into software...sometimes it's like playing whack-a-mole...squash one bug and another pops up.

Truly one of my favorite things is usability testing. You bring in a person have them sit in a room with the computer signed in a dummy account and the tester will have them do various tasks...for example: "OK, go ahead and change your address." There is a one-way mirror so you can watch the...

"It's a feature" (I admit I may have said those words a time or two.)

Last one for now...I always tell people the reason for testing is not to make sure your software works but, rather, to find what doesn't work. May seem like the same thing but it really isn't. Any decent developer/software engineer can make his or her code work. Toward that end, as a final...

Many years later, I was working at a software company with a pretty esoteric client server application used for mission critical applications. We were very, very picky about the hardware used, certifying to a very limited set of clients (PCs). Anyhow, we had a client (company) that had a...

First lesson learned..It was 1979, just starting out working at a Fortune 500 company. I was writing a COBOL program. It was decent sized, ~10,000 lines of code. (For you youngsters out there, even using repetitive techniques like PERFORMS, 10k lines was not that unusual). It had a fairly...

As I read these threads, it occurs to me that there are a some who don't have a full appreciation for software/software development. This is not meant as a slight in the least. I find myself in the same situation when it comes to discussions around mechanical issues like suspension or...

Hate to say it, but just got my tag today together with a bill, so it looks like they haven't sorted through that aspect of the process yet. I'll shoot a quick note to my guide to get the refund ball rolling. Have you received yours yet and do you have any tips to speed up the process? Thanks
