  1. Farewell

    Same here. Traded my '22 R1T for a Silverado EV Trail Boss. Favorite vehicle so far. I loved my Rivian but like the OP got tired of the noises, clanks, HVAC floods and having to wait 2 months for service. This forum has completely turned south over the past 3 years with haters. Be happy...
  2. PSA for all Gen 1 owners! Check your carpets for signs of moisture

    I have a 2022 R1T. VIN in 7000s. Every now and then I notice a vinegar / mildew smell when I get in my R1T. It comes and goes in both the winter and summer. I've blamed the washer fluid (since I use that a lot in winter) until I started see these posts about the drain. I haven't noticed...
  3. Comma AI 3X in Central Oregon

    I too am in Central Oregon and I just discovered the C3X. I'm dying to know how you like it. Thinking of ordering one. (I come from years of a MX with autopilot and miss not being able to use Driver+ in our area)
  4. Tesla Model X vs. Rivian R1S comparison review - from a real owner of both.

    I have a 2022 R1T and have had three Model Xs over 7 years. Rivians's software is real good, but not quite a polished as Tesla. The bird's eye view is amazing and I use it all the time. There are two differences I notice most. 1) Build quality. Shutting the door on a Rivian sounds like a...
  5. Does anyone else find the new side camera views distracting and useless?

    I don't really use them for changing lanes - don't find them to be much help. But when sitting at a light, waiting to make a right turn, it's a nice check for bikes and pedestrians coming up on the right-rear.
  6. What insurance companies are you all using?

    Central Oregon State Farm $517 for 6 mos. Deduc $0 comp, $500 coll
  7. 3D printer

    I've had a few Enders, currently have two MK3+, and two weeks ago I bought a Bambu P1S with AMS. I was so impressed I bought a Bambu A1 mini with AMS lite a couple days later. I've been huge Prusa fan for years but the Bambu printers blow me away. Speed, quality, "things just print" and...
  8. Electrify America claims their CCS chargers are incompatible with Rivian

    Does EA claim they're incompatible because the owner risks burning their vehicle to the ground?
  9. OTA 2022.31.5 software released publicly

    I agree. I don't understand the interest in percent. A person needs to know the range, and then calc the miles, to know if I can get from point A to point B. Can I drive from Denver to Colorado Springs with 25%? Why not just show you the miles? However, percent is useful enroute AND there's...
  10. Matte wrap or not?

    Colorado Detail dot com. This is the 4th vehicle of mine that Steve (owner) has done for me. Not the cheapest but excellent quality and it shows.
  11. Matte wrap or not?

    In the end, I love it. I've had several compliments and it's so easy to keep clean - no water spots. I guess it just took time to get over the shock of it not being what I 'thought' it would look like. Thanks all!
  12. Matte wrap or not?

    This is a little delayed. Thanks for everyone's comments. It's started to grow on me. I also went by the SC and took some comp pics. In addition to the stealth, they wrapped the piano black on the bumper with a stealth that had a slight texture (not sure the term for that).
  13. Matte wrap or not?

    The comments here have been helpful. I don't feel like an outlier. For Sale: lightly used PPF wrap, custom cut for a Rivian R1T ;)
  14. Matte wrap or not?

    Yes. Ceramic on the PPF. I'll ask about that.
  15. Matte wrap or not?

    The owner is a great guy, real skilled, high quality shop and very popular here. This is the 5th wrap he's done for me. He previewed it by taking a large piece, sprayed water on the hood and pressed the wrap to it and smoothed it out. He did the same with when I did the white. Of course, no...
  16. Matte wrap or not?

    I googled for weeks looking for pics of matte on green but only found El Cap and silver.
  17. Matte wrap or not?

    I do have to say, matte doesn't show water spots. Unlike my other cars, I rarely dried after a quick car wash. In Colorado we often get 5 min rain showers in the afternoon so spotless was nice.
  18. Matte wrap or not?

    I. can be odd about some details and this is the type thing I'd notice every time I approach the truck. I hope I'll be ok with waiting for the next rewrap appt instead of taking it off myself beforehand. *IF* I decide to re-wrap, does anyone know if it's ok to remove it yourself or leave that...
  19. Matte wrap or not?

    You make a great point, something I didn't consider. Matte on white only changes the finish. Matte on green changes the color too. The shop previewed a large slab of matte on the hood but I didn't tune into the color change. Arg.
