    PSA: Rivian Tailgate Pad is back in stock

    Has anyone figured out how to use those worthless straps that hold the bikes in place? They are sewn in, so impossible to replace with ones that work. They do not hold at all.

    Charging options in Mammoth??

    There are a few Rivians in Mammoth. We have a charger in our garage as I expect the rest do as well. There are no chargers in town that I am aware of. However, if you charge in Bishop, you should have enough for your trip. Yes, you will lose a bunch going up the hill, but driving around...

    Should I purchase a used 2022 R1T Adventure or a new 2023

    I bought a new adventure one and a used adventure one after prices went up. Very happy with both.

    Why R1T outselling Lightning 4-1?

    It is simpler than that. What makes car companies work for the last 100 years, what they invested the most in, have the most skills in, things that made their brand, are now totally irrelevant. The skills and technology going forward and 100% different.

    R1T vs. R1S in snow?

    it is the same with most (all?) four wheel drive vehicles. I used to unlock my front wheel hubs on icy surfaces. In normal four wheel drive mode, my Jeep would become a hockey puck. Technology can help, but when it is super slick, four wheel drive becomes a handicap. Of course, the opposite...

    Does Lucid Gravity solve many of Rivian R1S issues for families?

    I think you made my point very well. The US models on that list are not 4 door sedans by any stretch. They are either trucks or SUVs. Las time I looked, Toyota and Honda are are not US companies.

    Does Lucid Gravity solve many of Rivian R1S issues for families?

    Rivian’s strategy and performance over the past two years positions the company to be the only new EV manufacturer that has an excellent chance of making it. Lucid has great technology but a very dumb strategy. The two most popular vehicles in the US by miles are the pick up truck and the...

    Powered Tonneau WILL be available as RETROFIT in 2024 (per Rivian Guide). This is HUGE!

    I am returning my manual tonneau. This is my second one, both broke within the first couple of uses. The release mechanism is so flimsy, it should be pulled as an option and redesigned. I am either going after market or will wait for the powered option. I just wish they would come out and...

    UPDATED RANT: Rivian Service Centers are a poorly managed drain on the company

    Sorry folks, my experience has been the total opposite. The service centers have been exceptional. Best car experience I have ever had, including some very expensive cars. And Tesla is the very worst. Black and white really. My guess is I live in Southern CA and the rest of the country is...

    [CT] How long to get your plates from the DMV?

    Forever. Crazy CA calls the RT1 a commercial vehicle. Just more completely unnecessary bureaucracy.

    If you are taking delivery soon ... make sure Registration / Title was done correctly

    It’s California. They class the RT 1 as a “commercial vehicle” due to its weight. I had to go through tons of red tape and forms to finally get my title. Which, being California, they charged me for again.

    California R1T Tailgate Pad - NEW - Local Pickup Only ($215)

    Ok, thanks. I need it for some work I have to do so will drive up to your location if your guy doesn’t want it. While it looks good for bikes, I want to use it when I carry lumber too long for the bed but when I can keep the tailgate up.

    I am interested. How can I contact you?How did you get it? It does not appear to be available in the gear shop.

    What would you want to see in Rivian's R1 Summer 2024 updates?

    Fix the tonneau. Replace all the current, junk, plastic, manual ones with the third party aluminum one. Give us all the originally promised power one that works.

    Manual Tonneau Cover from Interrobang - my review

    Great idea. My manual one broke again, and I was being extra careful when trying to release it. It is just a horrible design with a tiny, thin plastic piece connection the cable to the release. If they would just replace the connection with a metal one, it would be fine.

    Rivian should merge with Lucid

    Folks, Rivian would not buy Lucid, it would be a merger based on the value of each company. Lucid has three things: superior battery technology (which neither the Japanese nor the Germans have at all), deep pockets from an investor which has a track record of staying with an investment, and...

    Lucid misses Q2 delivery estimates quite badly, stock tanks

    I am in Southern CA and I see them all over.

    Has anyone figured out how to effectively use the home proximity exclusion for your cell phone?

    Sorry, it is not closer but larger so it does not exclude our garage which it thinks is too far from our address. However, the first response was very helpful in that it is only a locking feature currently, not an unlocking. Why one and not the other is a mystery and disappointment. We...
