I'd love to see some funny or amusing gear guard or drive cam videos, please share! I'll start. The best way to drive the Road to Hana is to go slow and pull over any time someone is behind you to let them pass. This time I was letting a local pass, but one of her three unsecured dogs in the...

I love the distinctive look of the R1 headlights and light bar. However, as a child of the eighties I can't say I'm fond of the taillights. What aspects of the R1 do you want to see in the R2?

I scratched and tore my gear tunnel PPF with my bicycle pedal. Can it be repaired with a heat gun or should I just plan to remove it?

My truck got to take an exciting trip without me. My wife and I have moved to Maui from Seattle, and we explored a number of options for getting our truck there. Here's a short version and a long version of the story. TL;DR - The truck made it to Maui safely after 27 days in transit, and lost...

I brought my truck in this week for NVH issues, key fob proximity issues and a door panel that binds when exposed to direct sunlight. It was a much calmer day at the SC than my last visit, which happened during an EOQ delivery rush. The service team has not yet begun temporary relocation to...

How it started: How it's going: I backed into a post with the tailgate down. I managed to make it all the way home with a new pre-hung door in the bed to replace a break-in, but did this damage in the final few seconds of my journey. At least it was my own fault (I'm simply disappointed, as...

My wife doesn't anthropomorphize Gary the way everyone else seems to. She calls him "Gary the Gear Guard", which sounds more like a name for a pet, like Frankie the Farm Dog, or Larry the Lap Dog. I guess he does kinda look like a sloth or maybe a slow loris. Both seem appropriate given Gary's...

New, never used set of snow chains: Peerless SZ468 Super Z8 8mm Commercial and Light Truck Tire Traction Chain - Set of 2. These fit the back tires for 20" ATs according to posters on this forum. Rivian does not recommend using them on the front tires since steering could cause the chains to...

Rivian in 2022 has exceeded the excellent treatment I got as a Tesla customer in 2015. Tesla 2015 Pro: Model S 70D arrived nearly flawless Cons: safety recall one month later that couldn't be scheduled until four months later. Interior rattles that never went away. Rivian 2022 Pros: R1T...

Rivian sent me two boxes of cargo crossbars by mistake. I'm lucky enough to have received Rivian's original preorder pricing, so I don't need to profit off their shipping mistake. They are honorable, and I can be too. My guide has given me a shipping label to get the set back to Rivian If I...

Thanks to this forum I learned that rail transport leaves iron particles all over the truck. Service Centers are supposed to remove it, but others have warned that they may not get everything. Indeed that appears true. I found about a dozen specks that turned purple after using this iron...

It's 68⁰ in my garage, the car climate control was set to 70⁰ but turned off, and overnight with the car sleeping the interior temperature rose to 77⁰. The area around the Bluetooth speaker is particularly warm. Has anyone had a similar experience? I did have my outlets on overnight to run a...

I'm curious about the ways folks have been creative with their power outlets. I love the bouncy house photos from another thread. I'm the weirdo trying to remove that new car smell VOCs.

I performed a soft reboot today and the vehicle awoke with the notification that I need to service my suspension. The notification persisted after another reboot. Then upon pressing the brake pedal while in park the message just disappeared. Has anyone else seen glitches like this? Am I in for a...

I will need a ramp in the future to load/unload a shipping container, and it occurs to me it might work on the R1T tailgate too. I've never examined a tailgate ramp for hand trucks, motorcycles, etc. - do they need anything special other than a lip to rest on the tailgate? I'm considering...

My guide is friendly and knowledgeable, but seems quite busy. He confirmed and locked my configuration but I haven't heard from him since, despite receiving a VIN and starting the Eight Steps. I'd rather not bug him until I start needing help with service requests. How many folks have made it...

The manual states that a USB-C drive in the center console can store gear guard footage. Is that footage redundantly stored within the Rivian vehicle as well? I'm curious what happens if a thief takes the USB-C thumb drive along with everything else in the cab.

Forum posts indicate conflicting experiences with tire shops getting the Rivian up on a lift without taking the underbody shield off first. Would that require four jack pucks at once, or a special lift? Has anyone with an undercover shield had difficulty accessing jack points to change their...

I've got a guide assigned now so I'd like to finalize my delivery checklist for inspecting and testing the new vehicle within the return window. I also want to have a comprehensive set of issues to report to Rivian to ensure the quickest prioritization and fewest trips to the service center...

We're finally seeing batches of Adventure builds with addons like reinforced underbody. Will Rivian start with those configs (Adventure, 20" ATs, underbody) first when pivoting to Ocean Coast interiors (fewest changes to their batch setup), or will they reset to the simple configs first when...
