Very cool DIY! If it keeps the 12v batteries topped off, that will be a win.

Makes valid sense, given your experiences. I have had 2 R1Ts and never had issues on the beach (maybe 30 excursions). Have hauled several other ICE vehicles out. I'm not a serious off-roader and I imagine that not all sand is the same. We have towed a few thousand miles with it and have no...

Have to append my response by adding that the MB chargers are often less crowded at our Buc-ee's and I am especially grateful that there are never any Tesla owners at the MB chargers. We have been in Europe for a few months (Tesla charging network is also very reliable here, although...

I have used both at our local Buc-ee's. Even though we have a Tesla subscription, I will often use the MB fast chargers. I will admit that part of that reasoning is a dislike for the Tesla CEO. Nonetheless, I can report that the MB chargers are reliable, require no adapter for my Gen 1 R1T and...

Yep. Will order one as soon as we're back in the states. Nice job filling that gap in functionality.

I like the 12v bed socket but am saddened it would not support my SUP pump. https://a.co/d/054glcMb This runs fine out of the gear tunnel 200w socket. Wondering why that was not tapped. Oh well. At least would support our refrigerator without engaging the 1110v inverter.

It is not the estimate that bothers me. It is the wording that asks me to approve expenditure of the worst case scenario prior to any inspection. I understand that this is not how the SC actually works; they do their diagnostics and then update the estimate and determine if the work will covered...

Hunh... We've been using that in Spain for a few months (with EV rentals, not our Rivian) and it seems pretty turnkey. I wasn't aware they had a north American presence. (We do still tend to use Tesla networks for fast charging because of low subscription pricing and reliability. However, in...

Hey there, I like the design. At first I thought perhaps this would go into the side door pocket (a favorite place for my favorite person to put her trash and a bit of a pet peace of mine). Would it not get in the way a little bit of it hangs out into the vehicle? Or am I misunderstanding the...

While this is commonplace and boilerplate, I agree with the IP that this wording is entirely one-sided and disrespectful of Rivian owners.. There is exactly one place we can take our vehicles for warranty repair work. After you have made the big leap of faith and invested thousands an a new...

Just turned it off on my Pixel by turning of the phone Key Status notification for the Rivian app. That always annoyed me as well. Useless info.

We have an earlier version of that tent from the same vendor. https://a.co/d/089vWhNB At $80 we have no regrets. Is perhaps a 6" long in length, but I would rather have that than too short. Have used it a bunch, but do end up using a conventional ground tent when we spend more than one night...

Autodeflators make this super easy. https://a.co/d/0eDpxOSX Honestly, though, we are on the beach a few times every month. The last 20+ times I have never bothered to deflate, even when recovering other vehicles. Sand mode does the trick.

Would be interested in that. Can you post specifics or links here?

We really should start a class action suit against CoPart for the damage they cause. $5k in repairs every rime they load up a vehicle.

Interesting thing to try. Honestly, my best advice is to upgrade your phone. I struggled quite a bit with older Pixel (especially Phone as a Key). Every one of those issues went away once I got a more modern phone with a better BT stack. Consider spending $80-100k on a new vehicle as...

Quite an undertaking and wonderful write up! Heartily agree with comments encouraging Rivian to better enable/support/allow owner right to DIY repair. My personal experiences with SC is that it is only getting worse. Expect it will really hot a wall if R2 succeeds.

Well, our R1T was t-boned in December. i did notice the tiniest bit of rust on one of the tie downs. It cleaned up easily with brightwork polish and wax that i use on our boat. The black surface had not chipped off, either. I'm under no illusions that these are premium quality. They are...

It is not on sale right now but here are the links at HD and AZN to the one I purchased. https://www.homedepot.com/p/TracRac-TracONE-Universal-Truck-Bed-Ladder-Rack-800-lbs-Capacity-Black-Powder-Coat-Finish-27000B/310215434 https://a.co/d/04SDUQus I have used mine extensively. Drove from...

Yeah, i went through that as well. I'm surprised if your Rivvy hasn't all but shut down. The software is such that Rivians decide to fail completely if there is any hardware error, rather than degrading gracefully. Anyway, my first R1T came from salvage so I know what you are talking about...
