Did you end up pulling the trigger? I might be willing to split that check. I actually have been contemplating YouTube tutorials for DIY repairs. Getting ready to service my half shafts and a could other minor things this weekend actually.

Oh man!! Sorry to revive a long dead thread, but the PDF links you shared either didn't load, or I just didn't notice them when I first saw this response on my phone. Thank you so much for those guides!! I'm all good on the doors at this point, but is there any chance you have similar guides for...

Quick follow up for you: I just installed the new handle, and everything works beautifully. If you happened to watch the full video previously, I postulated that the black adhesive would re-adhere and I can confirm that was the case (It was basically just as difficult to remove this time as it...

Wow! Good for you, that's awesome! I'm guessing California state laws are maybe helping you out a bit. I purchased mine in Kansas, and now have it registered in Colorado. I had WAY more issues, and as soon as I mentioned it being a lemon I got redirected to Rivian legal. From then on, only they...

No gambling was involved. ;) Zonal architecture isn't a thing in gen 1 vehicles, and in the full video you'll find that I talk about the slow failure of this door handle in particular. In terms of fixing the sub-components of the handle, I plan to try refurbishing this and selling it but the...

Oh no...just realized the image didn't load in the video. Ignore the black screen where I'm just circling empty space! :)

So I did quite a bit of searching and didn't find any videos of someone doing this, so I made my own as a guide for the next DIY-er that chooses this particular adventure. All the other videos I found were A) not the drivers door (so didn't address the flashlight mount) and B) stopped at having...

Am I the only person that reads that and thinks.. "Oh, please....no."?? These vehicles are already so complex and expensive to keep on the road, the last thing I want is to add more things that will break.

Don't own one, but I played around with the one installed on the California Dune edition truck at the local show room. It is soooo much smoother and quieter...my first question was "when can I buy it for my truck." It's an unofficial answer, but the guy working the showroom said that they will...

I think avoiding this sort of expectation is exactly why they didn't charge you for it up front. Tesla HAD TO deliver these upgrades (at great cost) because when I purchased my Model 3 (in Jan 2018) there was an explicit line-item for "full self driving" for which I paid thousands of dollars...

Sorry to revive an old thread, but wondering if @RedCanyon could provide a closer photo specifically of the mounting points/clamps of that tent? Best I can tell, it's got to be the only difference from a regular SkyRise.

Wait.. you got front wheels OFF THE GROUND in your gen 1?! That is the coolest thing I've ever heard if so. lol

This depends on where you live. I almost never get loaners any more..just uber credits.

There must have just been a bad run on the 12v batteries at some point. I'm at 54k miles and also original 12v. Literally everything else has been replaced, but the 12v is going strong! ?

Regarding the "cooled seats", they aren't . R1 vehicles (gen 1 at least) are ventilated only, not cooled. The temperature you're experiencing is purely a result of the ambient temperature in the vehicle. Perhaps they're moving less air than they used to because the seats themselves are simply...

FWIW, Wheel shake due to any tires is NOT normal. If you have it, I would take it to your local tire shop, or Rivian, and insist that they balance them at a higher speed. My truck with 20" A/T had some shake above 75 mph when I first got it, and I made them rebalance the tires twice before they...

My truck certainly never routes to Tesla chargers appropriately. I've even set the Tesla charger as my destination and the truck will try to make me stop and charge at another charger that is only blocks away. I don't have enough RAN charging along my route for that too be a factor, and I...

How is/was it anything more than that? I have the Yakima Skyrise 3..and I've been parked next to someone with the Rivian branded tent. I've not noticed any difference in construction. What am I missing?

TL;DR - After considering gen 2, I JUST purchased a new gen 1. I really considered it, but find myself in the same boat regarding the pricing. The only thing I've always really wanted to change about mine is that I love Ocean Coast interior, and I have Black Mountain. Add to this the fact that...
