I’ve only used this stupid thing once since delivery. The rubbery parts have this powdery haze. At first I thought UV damage, but the bit surrounding the USB port is not exposed when docked. What’s happening to the material? Anyone else observing the same? I’m tempted to treat it with Cerakote...

Bought these a while back. Never got around to use them. Both keys are included, as shown. Unfortunately, my cat’s medical bills are adding up. So it’s time to let these bars go. $680 in-person. Can meet at Irvine or Orange RAN. Will not ship. Shipping cost is too high to make sense. PS—if...

One pair, by Abstract Ocean. Fits R2 also, per Abstract Ocean and personally confirmed with a friend’s new R2. Excellent condition. $10, local only. Can meet at Irvine or Orange RAN.

Excellent condition. Complete with two genuine Apple 15W MagSafe chargers and Soonish’s step down charger ($39). Complete and plug-and-play for all gen1 R1T and R1S. $100 in-person. Can meet at Irvine or Orange RAN. Shipping extra if shipped (DM me, probably about $16 via USPU Priority).

Just came across this excellent piece from ABC News in my YouTube feed. I never thought I’d say this but American car industry could learn from what Renault is doing. https://shorturl.at/G3ykY

Overall, a great chat with Max Koff and Jeff Hammoud. Primarily on the R2, but R1 and the Rivian brand are also discussed. Be warned, there is cussing.

I just stumbled into a new, or at least new-to-me, jack pad from Maxtrax. It's designed to mate with their Mk2, XTREME or Lite traction boards, and from a stable platform for jacks. It has a indentation for the Hi-Lift jack's rectangular footprint, which should also work with some bottle jacks...

From time to time I've pondered piecing together a tool roll or kit. And searching past discussions to identify what pieces to acquire, it's clear the information is scattered. And I could just start buying assortment of sockets and wrenches, but would really hate to waste $ on bits that are not...

I never really noticed since delivery until now, the center vent seems to have more air flowing through the driver side than the passenger side. Does yours do this? Gen 1, end of May '23 build.

Just received text msg in title from "56839". Interestingly, Rivianroamer dashboard shows 12V in "normal operation". Original 12V has already been preemptively replaced in January 2025, during appointment for unrelated issue (correcting alignment of doors). Since I've been noticing the front...

Just saw this being shared on Reddit. Looks like Rivian made changes. https://rivian.com/support/article/what-is-the-maintenance-schedule-for-r1-vehicles [below is added by admin] What is the maintenance schedule for R1 vehicles? Rivian recommends the following maintenance be performed on...

Looks like EV Base has a electric retractable roof shade for the R1T. I don't see one for the R1S. https://www.evbase.com/collections/rivian/products/electric-sunshade-for-rivian-r1t-glass-roof-automatic-retractable-sun-visor-shade I have no affiliation with EV Base. I stumbled across this on...

Pinzegauer 6x6 EV conversion. Not sure where this belongs, but it's too cool not to share. Which one of you R1S owner is involved in the project? Part 1: Part 2: Part 3: Part 3.5:

Brief summary: The testing standard is different in the US and Europe Tires bearing this symbol might: A) barely meet requirements, B) meet requirements, or C) does not meet requirements and is using the symbol "illegally" In the US the testing is self-certified by each tire manufacturer "It's...

So, how has it been like with State Farm? How has it been for filing claims and getting repairs? I've been a long time State Farm customer, decades. But chose to go with Nationwide-Rivian for my T due to extent of coverage and their new car replacement policy. After nearly three years, I'm...

Somehow, somewhere, someone gifted me a dent at the top of the passenger bed upright, over spot between gear tunnel and wheel well. I have PPF so any PDR attempt would likely need access to the back side of the sheet metal. Wondering if this area is exposed or accessible once the bed trim is...

I guess this is my first actual failure since July ‘23 delivery. Since new the tailgate has misbehaved a few times, but it has always “fixed” itself with a squirt of lube on the latches. Not this time. Yesterday and most of today I was able to drive with only a malfunction warning in the mobile...
