IMO it should be called Painless Dent Repair. Your damage appears to be a great candidate for PDR. Used it to knockout several small dents/creases on my Tacoma and was simply amazing. As long as the paint and clear coat are intact, i.e. no chips or holes, the process can result in a fast fix...
Wow! Excellent write up. I too bricked my R1T GEN2 this winter in the California mother lode. Had to get it towed 100 miles to the Sacramento SC. Said they had to reflash the charge controller that killed the 12V battery. 🤷♂️
Very happy with this cover. Lightweight, waterproof, zippers, price. Hope Amazon gets it back soon! :swear: .
Maybe you can get it from another source. I'd definitely buy it again. R1T Cover
Rivian SC installed new battery when they performed headlight recall 2 weeks ago.
This thread has a plethora of information on 12V system. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/some-details-about-12v-jumping-and-jump-boxes-after-an-accident.33854/
