OK, finally got the raw clips from my son and made time to stitch them together. Not as informative or complete as I had envisioned, but hopefully still useful to many of you!

Yes, all things I have learned as a result of this experience, @Erik+ ! The DHD tie-rod sleeves seem to be what others here have recommended, and I've spent some time watching multiple Youtube videos on swapping out tie rods, adding sleeves, and the like. And no, I'm not letting this...

Not yet, @JeremyP , as all clips are on my son's phone. Will ask him to upload somewhere for me so I can edit in the coming days.

I begged and pleaded the SLC service center for the 16mm tie rods, to no avail. And I made certain to let them know that the 14mm tie rods BOTH broke on the trail last weekend and left me very high and dry with an ungodly towing bill, along with Rivian's $3000 repair bill just to give me the...

Update __________________________ It wasn't "another few hundred bucks" I have to eat, but over $3,000(!!!!). And that's just to replace the crappy tie rods with a new set of crappy tie rods (along with a couple add'l fixes that I don't fully understand yet), bc Rivian said the 2024+ tie rods...

When I was at Duke's RV Park in Hanksville last Fri eve, the manager there said that just a week or two ago, a team of Rivian employees were there inspecting things and asking a bunch of question about things related to electric/charging. Hope that means that Rivian will be installing a RAN...

Thanks man...will do!

(apologies for the random text at the beginning...thought I had deleted that before posting)

comfort, esp in an area where towing can get quite expensive and time-consuming. And that was on dry surfaces. I can confirm that a 2023 R1T 135kwh would cut it too close for comfort on range going from Hanksville at 95% SOC to Doll House, via the shortest route (Poison Spring Rd). And I'm...

Welcome guys! I'll put in for the R1T sunshade 🤞

OK, story time. Right after taking delivery of my Canyon Red R1T in March 2023, I planned two big off-roading trips. The first one was a weekend getaway to Flaming Gorge with my son to celebrate his college graduation, and the second one was a 10-day tour of southern Utah with my 85-yo dad and...

Oh sweet--I see the separate one on Plugshare now that is open to non-Tesla EVs. Thanks for the heads-up, @VSG!

Yup, got the 30a adapter...it's come in handy a few times :). And btw, I learned a few years ago when researching how to charge an EV from a battery like the Zendure or Jackery that you need a special grounding plug inserted into one of the AC 15a outlets, or it won't work. Here's the one I...

Same thing happened to me a few years ago while camping somewhere remote (also in an ICE vehicle)...had to wait an extra day before a fellow camper showed up and jumped us. I'm self-employed, so there was no boss to get berated by, but I did lose a few hundred dollars of billable revenue, and...

Makes sense, Dean. Not sure if a portable battery w/solar is a worthwhile investment for you, but happy to chat about options there if helpful. I went high-capacity and high-$$, but there may be adequate lower-cost options that get you over the hump. BTW, I just learned yesterday that the...

Oh cool, enjoy! My son and I plan to hike down to Spanish Bottom from Doll House. A river-rafting excursion down the Green/Colorado Rivers is on my list!

I plan to attempt exactly that Sep 20-22, and will post here what my experience was. I haven't found anything online anywhere of any R1 owners doing this. I plan to charge fully in Green River, top up to at least 95% in Hanksville while grabbing a bite, and then take the Poison Springs Wash Rd...

Took delivery of my Canyon Red R1T 6 hrs ago...even more of a badass vehicle than I'd expected, so blown away that I keep giggling from the sheer joy. Have owned a Tesla Model S since 2016, and had experienced similarly exceeded expectations for the first few months; plus I've had over 14...

Equal parts educational and entertaining!
