I have a new sliding glass door to pick up this weekend. Has anyone transported one in the bed of their R1T and care to share how it went? These large doors are supposed to be transported upright, else risking damage to the glass. I’ve seen folks build a temporary structure out of framing...

Hat tip to gourd season Link to STL for the brackets

I have a set of four factory 21” wheels for sale. $600 for the set with factory TPMS and aero covers. I ran these for about 18 months before I changed to 20” Atomic wheels. They were coated in Hyperdip for most of their life so they are nearly blemish free. Any issues you see in the pictures...

From the email Rivian sent today: It’s interesting that Google Cast and YouTube are stated as “coming soon”, but GGLC is in a few months. RivianTrackr tells us that GGLC is coming in 2024.35. My Rivianology assessment points to Google Cast and YouTube being software locked in the current...

For the last several weeks I’ve had the good fortune of being able to test the first Rivian ring key in the market. It’s made by CNICK (teslaring.com), who appear to have been making rings for Tesla for some time. They make the rings (I think) by dissolving the plastic around the chip and...

Streaming Gear Guard video is coming later this year per this article at CNET. I hadn't seen this mentioned in any of the news so far today.

Rivian Service told me their official policy is they will not activate a wristband or keycard once it has been resold or changed hands. They said it’s a fraud and security measure. Has anyone been successful in activating a keycard or wristband they bought from another owner/eBay/etc.? They...

I was browsing Priority Tire last night looking at available 275/65R20 A/T tires. I was surprised by the number of generic tire brands out there. The situation reminds me of the prolific number of all caps, un-pronounceable brand names that have taken over Amazon. Like most of you, I’ve ordered...

The 20" MSW Type 52 wheel is available to order at Tire Rack for $313 each, shipping in December. It's a close copy of the stock 20" wheel, same 48mm offset, and accepts the stock center cap. @vigga previously chatted with TR who said they are rated at 2,535lbs per wheel. I've been making...

I'm at 23k miles on my 21s with a 5 tire rotation. They have about 5/32nds remaining so it's tire shopping time. I'm going with 20" aftermarket wheels (either Atomic or Black Rhino). I don't do much (any?) off roading, but of course I want the people in the Whole Foods parking lot to think I do...

Efficiency of my 22k mi R1T has fallen off a cliff. Every time I start driving I get horrible efficiency for at least 5-10 minutes . Eventually it comes back up to somewhat normal but is still below what I've experienced over the last 15 months. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I...

Last week I rented a 32’ travel trailer for a week long vacation with my daughters. We picked up the camper in Joplin, MO and pulled it a short distance to Noel, MO to float the Elk. Next we drove west, mostly on Route 66, to Keystone Lake just west of Tulsa. Then we drove the rest of the way...

I am deciding whether or not to power coat my 21" wheels. Until then I used Dip Your Car's Hyperdip. I used Anthracite Gray, about a can for each wheel. I was rotating my tires at the same time so it was easy to spray them on the ground using index cards to stop overspray on the tires. The...

I built upon the design of @Snazzy Labs phone holder to make a ball mount that sits on top of the charging platform. I designed it to fix a few issues I had with the other solutions. While Snazzy’s clip worked very well for charging my iPhone 12 Pro, I didn’t like that I couldn’t see the whole...

Seeing the fine work that @RWerksman has been doing, I was inspired to create a center console organizer. It's a series of three trays with the top two designed to be removable. The center console has a slight "v" shape which allows the top tray to be about 20mm longer while still leaving room...

A little birdy sent me an advance copy of my email, the one that's going to start going out next week to everyone. Yikes! Jeff, As we shared previously, we’re taking every opportunity to get you into your new Rivian as quickly as possible. With that in mind, we’re happy to share updated...

The First Mile event calendar in Kansas City came out this morning! I'm scheduled for a drive on 6/2. Check your account if you're in the area. Look for the calendar icon in the left sidebar below the RIT/RIS icon.

Let’s say you’re an early R1T preorder holder with a $1,000 deposit placed in 2019 and you’re still waiting due to Rivian’s f‘d up delivery priority. What has that $1,000 done for you? What’s the lost opportunity cost? Assuming January 2019 to now, if you’d invested that $1,000 in a lowly S&P...

I live relatively close to the KC service center, so I’m not asking about my situation exactly but I’m wondering if anyone has changed their delivery address to the factory address in Normal and received a guide/PBA. None of us know how the Rivian Magic 8 Ball works but it seems plausible that...

I haven't seen this one posted anywhere yet. It's from the Bloomington, IL paper. The video is about halfway down the article about them expanding their plant. Rivian plant expanding again in Normal I appreciated how the gear tunnel doors are mounted inside the truck bed, while awaiting assembly.
