  1. Thule Motion XT XL cargo box fits well on R1S roof crossbars

    No problem! You'll be very happy with it. It looks great and it has a massive amount of space inside!
  2. Thule Motion XT XL cargo box fits well on R1S roof crossbars

    Thanks for this info. Good to know that the box doesn't seem to have much impact on efficiency. I had heard others mention that the front position creates more noise, which was the main reason I put it in the rear location. Using the rear wheel as a step actually works well. I also think it...
  3. Impact of ski rack vs roof cargo box on efficiency for R1S?

    Went with a Thule Motion XT XL box. It fits well but haven't done a trip with it yet so not sure how it impacts efficiency.
  4. Thule Motion XT XL cargo box fits well on R1S roof crossbars

    I couldn't find this info online, so thought I'd post this in case it helps anyone else. The Thule Motion XT XL box can be mounted with the crossbars in the middle and rear positions without hitting the liftgate. When the liftgate is fully raised there is 1-2" of space between the liftgate and...
  5. 2002 4Runner --> 2023 R1S. Anyone else coming from a 20+ year-old vehicle?

    Impressive! I don't think you can be declared winner yet but I think you're in the lead! ? Can anyone beat 1996?
  6. Matte wrap gang! Let's see photos of your matte Rivian R1T & R1S

    Just got mine back. Love the look of Rivians in matte.
  7. 2002 4Runner --> 2023 R1S. Anyone else coming from a 20+ year-old vehicle?

    Most people here seem to be coming from a late-model Tesla MX, BMW X7, etc. It's funny to see the things that bother people about the R1, like driver assist features and missing software features. When you're coming from a 2002 vehicle everything about the R1 feels like magic! Anyone else...
  8. How many times have you launched your Rivian?

    To launch a Fisker Ocean you need to put the car in "boost mode," which unlocks the full HP and torque. But they only allow you to active this mode 500 times total! They say it's to limit wear and tear on the car, but this seems like a terrible idea. I'm so glad Rivian didn't implement something...
  9. How many times have you launched your Rivian?

    Curious to know if this is more of a novelty that most people do a couple of times to show off to friends and family, or something people do regularly.
  10. Should you tip your PPF installer?

    How much do you tip? Do you normally do a fixed amount or a percentage of the service provided?
  11. Should you tip your PPF installer?

    R1S is currently in a shop that is doing full PPF, ceramic coating and window tint. Total cost comes out to about $7k. There is a sign in their office saying "tipping of installers is appreciated." This is fairly large organization with a bunch of employees. I have no idea which of them...
  12. Impact of ski rack vs roof cargo box on efficiency for R1S?

    Interested to know the impact that a ski rack has on efficiency vs a large roof cargo box, like the ones from Thule and Yakima. I would guess that you'd take a bigger hit with the cargo box but it would be nice to have the extra storage. Curious to know if anyone here has done some testing with...
