Hi there, Had the same problem (plus months long wait for service) and @TD-EV helped me out by posting a prior thread with a you tube video. It worked and I am an average person for hands-on DIY projects (aka clueless!). adding it here...

Thank you all. This is why I love this community. Always trying to make things work and willing to share freely. I tried the suggestions above without much luck. Pressing it and keeping it down tends to stop the jiggle, but if I let go of it and try to simulate real life conditions by moving...

Hi folks, Was excited about the new Rivian black cross bars for a planned trip with Thule Cargo box on top. 1. While trying to install them, the cover over the keyhole doesn’t go down completely when the bar is in locked position. 2. Heard from a local rack store that Rivian bars may cause more...

Hi again folks, I was almost ready to pull the trigger on the rock sliders, when I realized that most folks who have commented understandably have Gen 1 R1S or R1T. There was an X post made in early Sept. stating that the current version of Megawatt will not fit on Gen 2 vehicles. Anyone with...

Hi folks, Has anyone got Llumar coating on their windows, windshield in the bay area? Also, did anyone use the Stratos or Pinnacle line versus the AIR line for Llumar? It gets confusing very fast and I wonder how much bang for the buck one gets with each upgrade. Looking for reliable...

Hi folks, Have seen a couple of informed opinions on multiple brands of rock sliders over the past few weeks. Seems that people have had varied experiences with their SC or recovery vans requesting removal of the sliders before repair (or not). Also that goat fab is the only one that leaves the...

It is insightful that folks with the ability to buy expensive vehicles are feeling squeamish about such high rates. I shudder to think what how most other folks are doing trying to pay for both auto and home insurance in CA, TX and FL. Insurance companies need to protect their bottom line and...

Auto insurance market in California unique and almost broken. Not only are premiums much higher, some large companies are actively trying to not insure expensive vehicles. Plus as recognized on this thread, much higher rates coming in the future irrespective of your driving record.

Hi folks, Any local SF Bay Area suggestions to both buy running boards (online or locally) and installing them? I have joint issues and may not be able to do it without tweaking a joint or two! Thank you :)

Hi folks, Clearly I am not great at pulling previously discussed threads on this; therefore to benefit my and other new folks posting this query to this incredibly helpful forum. Looking for recommendations regarding installation of outlet +/- charger for a soon to be R1S owner who is new to...

Hi folks, Looking for recommendations regarding installation of outlet +/- charger for a soon to be R1S owner in the peninsula. 1. Any downside to just getting an outlet? 2. What home charger would be recommended? We don’t have other EVs. Any benefit to getting a Tesla Universal Charger or a...

Thanks everyone. Helpful replies. Issues being discovered: 1. GEICO doesn’t do replacement vehicle coverage 2. I asked GEICO about OEM v/s after market and they do after market parts. GEICO is quoting me a price 1/3rd Rivian- Nationwide. 3. Have been told by someone in the know that auto...

Hi all, When I used the Rivian tool to calculate insurance, the quote provided was 2-3 X of what another large company like GEICO/ Progressive is quoting. I can understanding some bundling discounts but this difference seems disproportionate Any advantages to using Rivian insurance over the...

Hi folks, Can you please help with an updated list AND link to accessories that one should consider once the delivery of an R1S is imminent? This would include MUST HAVES and I WISH RIVIAN OFFERED THESE. Some of the discussions around this were from early 2023. Thanks!

Thank you :)

Looking for a comfortable 3 full row EV that drives well. I currently drive a diesel Mercedes SUV that I absolutely love the feel of. Seems that nothing comes close to a Rivian based on customer feedback. I briefly test drove a gen 1 dual performance and found it responsive (not overly...

The folks at respective service centers may not be as knowledgeable or forthcoming as people on this thread.Yesterday, I was informed by a test drive rep in the San Jose center (SF Bay Area region) that none of the service centers have gen 2 vehicles. I didn’t challenge this person though I knew...
