  1. Best hitch tray 4-bike rack that doesn't completely block rear camera when folded up?

    I bought the lights from etrailer.com. I would recommend that they sell a product like this invention. Screwed the lights onto an aluminum bar with a rubber protector on each end for a nice touch. The wiring comes with the lights. I had to buy an adapter to go from 4-pin to 7-pin. The lights...
  2. Best hitch tray 4-bike rack that doesn't completely block rear camera when folded up?

    I only have the two-bike rack. I only have the two bike rack. Which doesn’t cover the rear lights as you can see here. When I do carry the bikes on the 1 up, I created my own rear light fixture that I bungee on the 1 up rack for safety. You never know when someone doesn’t react timely if the...
  3. Time for new tires - what is the recommended aftermarket tire for 22"?

    I put 22” Michelin defenders on at discount tire. It’s 1700 bucks. Alignment is done by Rivian S.C. but I only needed a $100 check and not the $200 realignment. Very happy with the Michelins and how quiet they are versus Pirelli. Only got 20000 miles out of the pirelli’s which was very...
  4. Best practices for driving in extreme cold

    I was at the SC today, and they gave me some tricks about heating the cabin. Cabin warmth will be affected since the battery needs to get warmed up before YOU. So obviously you're best off using the Climate Scheduling in advance of jumping into the rig on a cold day. But I thought these tips...
  5. Best practices for driving in extreme cold

    This was very insightful. Thanks for the bulleted items. I can't stress enough that if you decide to get over 70 mph on the highways, the range really gets affected.
  6. I'm being audited: what is a "manufacturer's certification"?

    I think the auditor is looking for this document. You probably claimed the 30D tax credit and they want to see that the seller reported the info to the IRS.
  7. Any tricks on reinstalling the trailer hitch cover?

    I’m with mkg3 on this one. I have to remove and reinstall the cover each time with the bike rack. So get on your knees with the knee pad, align the tabs and give it a whack with the side of the fist. You will notice that the cover (even if tabs are aligned correctly) will overlap the...

  9. Using trailer plug for lights

    i used lane warning and cruise control when i was returning this week from Up Nort. I think this capability is achieved because i hit Cancel when it asked me if i wanted to be in towing mode.
  10. Using trailer plug for lights

    I started a Rivian Forums about a Bike Rack plug back in June: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/trailer-hitch-plug-adapter.15213/ I had the same problem with 3-4 bikes on a Yakima bike rack and folks driving behind me wouldn't see the brake lights. So i invented my own brake/turn...
  11. Air Conditioning vents

    On the climate screen, just move the vents around on the touch screen. Up or down or sideways.
  12. Trailer hitch plug adapter

    The first time I tried the adapter it didn’t work. But I had to make sure I shoved the adapter in tight so that the connection was sound. Also note that there is a tab on the adapter I bought that has to match the opening on the R1S plugin. I attached some photos of the adapter, the R1S hitch...
  13. Trailer hitch plug adapter

    I was struggling to find 7 pin to 4 pin adapter for the R1S. I have a bike rack lighting system that was the 4 pin style so I needed something like this. I found this one on Amazon for like $12. I wanted the flex cord since it will solve for the fact that my bike rack wiring probably wouldn’t...
  14. Minnesota Pre Orders

    after 4 years i did take delivery of an R1S in the last couple weeks. Exciting to drive but it is worth noting that you might have some admirers, some of which may not be humans.
  15. Latest EV tax credit status (as of 12/30/22) - summary by NYT

    i agree that you can't find that definition of binding contract anymore on the IRS site. I've seen some previous IRS-issued Notices where they state a specific definition for a written binding contract (i.e. for renewable energy projects credits). But I am somewhat relying on the notion...
  16. Latest EV tax credit status (as of 12/30/22) - summary by NYT

    This Kiplinger link provides alot of information. Article was updated in January 2023, so recent. I see many previous posts about what happens in 2022 or 2023, what tax year can i claim the credit; what if i signed a binding agreement prior to August 16th, etc. Read on...

  19. R1S Updated Delivery Timeframes?

    I am a first half 2023 as well and am not expecting much communication. Maybe you want to listen in or follow the August 11th Q2 earnings call to see if Rivian casts any light on the R1S deliveries.
