  1. In case of a zombie apocalypse, would you escape the city with an R1S or Audi A6 Quattro

    Unfortunately, most of us will find out about a SHTF event at the same time and will react in the same way with panic and fear. I will most likely spend that initial time shoring up / fortifying with my neighbors and spending whatever precious time we have with my family as we prepare for the...
  2. Can you guess the forum member this one belongs to?

    Negative on the handicap placard. I have a disabled son and it is hard enough to find parking with people already abusing that privilege.
  3. Rivian V2H Technical First Look (Patent)

    @Pop, @mudito and I have pretty similar setups. I like the DC power supply in his thread to convert AC/DC. So I am picking up one of those to complement my setup. The power supply he uses has a higher DC output voltage range than the one I currently have (higher voltage, less current). I also...
  4. Rivian V2H Technical First Look (Patent)

    If you have a decent inverter system with battery backup, with or without solar, etc.. installed at your home, this is a non issue. In today's world, load shifting and backup power should be at the front of your priority lists. You cannot control the grid or the cost of electricity. The cost of...
  5. Don’t buy a Rivian and why?

    I have had a great experience from the very beginning. My 22 R1T is going on 4 years old with 47,500 miles. I live about 45 mins away from a service center and that was a big factor for me in choosing Rivian in the first place. I tempered my expectations because this was a new company, new...
  6. Opinion on 20" tires for R1T

    I'll add my 2 cents. I have the BFG KO3. Great tire if you are looking for an off-road worthy all terrain tire. I didn't really notice a huge hit in range, but I don't track that very often. I use the truck for what it was built to do and I am on construction sites several days out of the week...
  7. How to open up the rear seat floor vents?

    Not sure if there are any clues in the Rivian Upfitting guide. I have it downloaded at home. You can probably search for it.
  8. Rivian dropped my truck!

    Is this a new feature of Full Autonomy to drive itself on or "off" the lift. Not seeing any pics of this actual truck off the lift, I had to resort to generating my own. I used GROK and it did a hodgepodge of the Cybertruck and the R1T. LOL.
  9. BestEvMod’s April Giveaway

    Versatility. That is probably the one word I can use to sum up my R1T. Even after almost 4 years of ownership, I am still finding new ways to enjoy it. Like airing up the lake mat while powering my cooler full of drinks for a day at the lake.
  10. Is this underbody damage OK?

    If there is no damage under the cover replace it with the front skid from Weistec. https://www.weistec.com/front-skid-plate-rivian-r1s-r1t?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=18442053262&gbraid=0AAAAADMkf-WSDFUySC2nWSCBjNRXLn620
  11. Rivian dropped my truck!

    I'm amazed at how long these threads can run on and on.... Insurance is there for reason and ultimately the attorneys and the insurance companies will sort this out. It sucks for the OP, but Sh!t happens, ask this guy.
  12. Worst truck ever. Bib fails and your done. No heat. No power just hours of beeping in a winter storm for 5 hrs.

    I still do not know what a BIB is. Are we still guessing? BIB = Bring it Back, Bigger is Better, Back in Business, Baby's in Black, Boys in Black, Boys in Blue. BIB = Battery Isolation Box? 12v Battery Issue?
  13. Toll Transponder Positioning

    I use the old-school Florida E pass with the suction cups. I removed the suction cups and it fits nicely between the crack of the dash and the windshield.
  14. Grab Handles for R2

    This vehicle has not been delivered to customers yet and it amazes me how quickly negativity hits the internet. The answer is simple, don't buy one if it does not fit your needs. There are plenty of cost cutting measures OEM's use to lowe the price point on various trim or editions of the same...
  15. "Owner Since" date info now displayed in Rivian Account 3/2026

    Sweet, thanks for posting I didn't notice this info was shown now.
  16. What Actually Fails First in Real-World Rivian Ownership

    Had a rear drive unit failure on my quad early in my ownership. Fixed under warranty, but had to limp back to my house and the truck was virtually undriveable after that, so it had to be towed to the service center. That was an eye opener and my first how expensive is that to fix when out of...
  17. Flat Tire on a 7,000+ lb EV: What’s Your Plan and Tools?

    I start with good set of load range E tires. 10 Ply tread and 3 ply sidewall. I use a Power Mountain Tallboy Off-Road Bottle Jack on my Megawatt Rock Sliders. This gives me all the confidence I need lifting in any condition. Then I use my ARB Tire plug kit and on-board air to get back on the...
  18. Autonomy+ Poll: Will you be buying / subscribing to it?

    I have a Gen1 R1T so I will pass until my next Rivian.
  19. Train Crossing Arm hit my car

    Drive Cam to the rescue. Hopefully you have it enabled. I would go after the railroad company if it is clear on the drive cam that the arm fell on your vehicle after raising and the flashing lights / siren were off. However, if the lights were still flashing and the siren was still sounding...
