No hitch extender is needed on the Quikr Mach 2 with my R1S. The tailgate comes down and misses the hitch with a few millimeters to spare.

Yes, I’ve done it multiple times from Berkeley to Kings Beach in my 2023 R1S quad. I usually arrive with 20% in summer, 10% in winter, using conserve mode most of the way. But I would not try it if it was snowing or the roads weren’t clear. I remember the sight of so many stranded Teslas...

My Quikr Mach 2 is going strong. Solid as a rock. One of the best things about it is its modularity. I normally have 2 bike trays installed and add another 1 or 2 when needed. But installing or removing the rack entirely takes only about 90 seconds when it’s set up with 2 trays, because it’s...

The other day I was unloading my R1S and put my phone inside to prevent it from locking. It locked anyway, with my phone inside. I suspect that it detected my wife’s phone leaving (she was helping me unload, and her phone is the other PAAK). This could have been a big problem if she had...

The easy add-subtract tray process and ability to carry 4 bikes were deal-sealers for me with the Quikr. I usually only need to carry one or two bikes but have a few trips a year when I need 4. And it’s so easy to slap on those extra trays. Quikr also has really good add-on locks that are keyed...

There’s already a securities class action pending based on purchases in the IPO and the several months after that. That one is larger (more money at stake) than this new one. The court denied a motion to dismiss. In this world, when there’s a stock drop there’s usually a lawsuit claiming the...

A swing away might work for lots of people but: 1. It adds 39 pounds to the whole assembly, thus more torque on the receiver (like carrying a DH bike at all times) and makes the rack stick out another 8 inches (based on the Kuat, one of the best swings aways). Try parallel parking with that...

Mmcool, let me third the recommendation of the Quikr rack. It’s really awesome, and I love mine. Rock-solid in holding the bikes. Sticks out only a few inches to the back when folded up. I can remove and install the rack in less than 2 minutes, add or subtract trays in 60 seconds. It fits the...

The only thing I would change about my 2023 R1S is that I would trade power for range. The amount of power this truck has is ludicrous. I love it but it’s way more than I need. I would gladly swap 250 extra hp for a dual motor with Max Pack so that I could more confidently make it up to my...

I’ve experienced the steering wheel tugging at times due to the lane keeping assist function. E.g., when I am intentionally drifting across multiple lanes of a twisting, empty freeway, it sometimes tries to keep me in a lane. it hasn’t really bothered me, but perhaps some aspect of that feature...

Yes, please provide more details. I read somewhere here that somebody bricked his Rivian by changing the speakers, supposedly because of a different current draw but maybe I’m misremembering that incorrectly (it was pretty hard to understand how that could happen absent a wiring short).

Just a normal wave or thumbs-up sign I think!

I park my R1S in a public commuter train lot every day. Someday it’s gonna get dinged. Such is life. Hopefully the first ding will come from some off-road adventure scraping a rock, tree, or otherwise doing what the truck is made to do. The only thing that strikes me as bothersome here is the...

Service center fixed the worst wind noise on my R1S by adjusting the passenger side windowm replacing trim and adjusting the door (which they said was slightly bent!). The worst of it went away. This is the SF service center. They were great. They could not fix the silly horn though!

With the Quickr Mark 2 rack in flat position, I can open the tailgate without interference (there’s a couple millimeters to spare). No adapters needed.

Update: My Quickr Mach 2 rack has arrived and is installed on my R1S. Initial impressions: This is far and away the best-designed and -built rack I’ve seen. It’s easy to use, rock-solid, and insanely easy to add and remove extra trays. It’s the same basic concept as the 1Up but much...

IMO, most of the doom and gloom surrounding RIVN stock remains a direct result of disappointment following the overly successful IPO and frothy market overenthusiasm right afterwards. The fact that everyone who bought in that period is now looking at a loss in their portfolio creates natural...

Thanks for the corrections and updating my old info racekarl and PeterSK! I don’t know if it’s a matter of money, programming resources or both, but Rivian needs to get Apple Music running natively on their system. It’s the only major streaming service with lossless and hires as the default...

Me too! I prefer Apple Music and don’t want to have to add a Tidal subscription. Unfortunately, Rivian is not the problem here, it’s Apple. Apple currently is extremely strict about who it will allow to access the Apple Music API for integration. Apple offers CarPlay for this and doesn’t want...

Fix the audio in the R1S with Elevation speakers! Or give us a parametric equalizer so we can do it ourselves! This is a Rivian-created issue that Rivian can fix or at least band-aid with software. See the proof in this thread by superfluid...
