I know that this is an old issue that has been discussed in these Forums. However, confusion and misunderstandings about these devices clearly persist. What We Think We Know Rivian Key Bands were first issued with Launch Vehicles in 2022-23. Key Bands can be successfully paired with other Gen...

Note: As with some of my other posts, this is primarily intended for people new to Rivian, to electric vehicles (EVs) in general, and/or to the issue of new charging ports for R1 and, eventually, R2 and R3 vehicles. This issue was certainly new to me, so this is my way of learning and then...

Here is a preliminary attempt at a comparison (inspired by the question, here). Glad to hear from owners and vendors with more info on: additional products, information corrections/additions, additional features, and specific applications (for Rivian car models and generations). Table...

See my possibly important caution here.

I recently posted "Want to Buy" ads in a few places on the Internet*, asking to purchase a Rivian Key Band (aka "Wrist Band," "Wrist Key," etc.). The wisdom of buying such a (relatively expensive and arguably notorious) gadget aside, within a relatively short time I had to deal with twothree...

In various photos online the finish of these wheels seems to vary from one source to another. Very glossy in some photos, sometimes with two-tone shading (see example below)? And in other photos, more of a satin (or even flat) finish, and more a single, solid dark (black) color on all surfaces...

Looking for a Rivian key band (also called a "wristband" or "key bracelet") to purchase in good (like new?) undamaged condition. Prefer unlinked/unpaired ones with yellow inner band, but all will be considered. I live near Sacramento, California, but am prepared to pay for shipment. If you have...

About the Poll Early in Rivian's history, the initial goal was to create and market an affordable yet performance-laden hybrid sports car (the "R1"). That task was put aside in late 2011/early 2012 in order to change course and develop what would become among the first successful, off-road...

Note: Question 9 in the Poll above should read: "I plan to buy a Rivian R2 (2026) or R3 (2027) with NACS charge-port. ***** This post is mostly aimed at folks still new to electric-car charging. Developing it helped me--and I hope will help others--better understand adapters required for...

New Bonus Content See Post #29. ***** As long-time Rivian owners probably know (but those new-to-Rivian may not) in 2019 Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, actors and friends, took a third long motorcycle trip together. As with two previous excursions (first; second), this latest adventure was...

Currently, something like 29 or 30 states and three Canadian provinces (and possibly the Mexican states and territories?) require front license plates (LPs) on certain vehicles. At some point in the buying/delivery process many customers must decide whether to have front LP mounts installed by...

*** Will flexible magnetic signs adhere firmly to the front outside door panels (of a Gen 2 R1S)? *** In other words, is the sheet metal used to form the exterior doors magnetic (e.g., a steel or other ferrous compound)? Update: Answer Appears to Be NO. If the door panels are aluminum, then...

Note: I wanted to post this at "BestEvMod Key Fob Cover for Rivian R1T & Rivian R1S," but that Thread is closed. Moderators: Feel free to move this to a better forum, as appropriate. ***** I happened upon this Rivian key fob leather cover. (Same product here, and mentioned here.) Judging by...

Besides functional (and often expensive) accessories (like wheel-tire sets, running boards, etc.), I'm also occasionally interested in purely cosmetic stuff--like brake caliper colors and--of all things--tow hook covers.* One day I saw a photo of a Gen 1 Quad with yellow brake calipers and...

Concerning genuine Rivian key-fobs: Can a fob be programmed to work with either an R1T or an R1S? (Or are they model-specific?) Will a fob work with both a Gen 1 and a Gen 2 vehicle? (Or are they generation-specific?) Concerning the key-fob in the photos, is there any way to judge the...
