  1. Washington Free: R1T G1 All-Weather and Chilewich floor mats (Leavenworth)

    If you're reading this wishing it was free Chilewich floor mats near Leavenworth, WA, for an R1S - I got you covered. Mine are never used because my Rivian All Weather mats arrived before I picked up my vehicle and I swapped them right away. Now, Tuggles, what did you upgrade to, that you like...
  2. R2 rear wiper in action -- potential issues or FUD?

    This guy is missing another big opportunity for views: "Rivian second row seating may have a serious problem." "I wanted to see how the second row is configured for passengers, so I reviewed some pictures, and sure enough, there are seatbelts for a center passenger!! :eek:" Sometimes...
  3. Why Did You Choose Rivian Over Competitors?

    Rivian's R1S was the first across the finish line with a 7-seat electric SUV available for me to buy in 2023. I had a reservation on the Volvo EX90, and I was also waiting for the Kia EV9. Those didn't arrive in time. Now there's several but I am very happy with my R1S Gen 1. I have a...
  4. 30 amp campground charging question

    As others have pointed out in this thread and also here, there are TWO DIFFERENT adapters for NEMA 14-50 to TT-30 and they LOOK IDENTICAL. One is for appliances/RVs and the other is for EV chargers. At some point, the electrical engineers from USB must have contributed some ideas to the AC...
  5. Rivian Assistant is here!! (Update: not quite yet) (Update 2: it's here!!)

    I hope this does a sufficient amount of its processes on board the vehicle. Gemini on my (Samsung S25) Android phone appears unable to do many simple things without an internet connection. (Cannot play/pause Spotify; cannot read last text message; etc.) Even the things it *can* do are...
  6. The unwanted first child (Gen 1) of a forgotten relationship?

    Everyone on this thread is the same: they want to own what Rivian sold them. The difference: some think Rivian sold them the paint and everything inside it on the day of delivery. Others think Rivian sold them an ever-improving, perpetually "best in class" vehicle that would continuously gain...
  7. I bricked my R1S in the Oregon Outback - Learn from my mistake!

    Don't use the wrong TT-30 adapter! Quick Campsite Charging story: I plugged my R1S into a 30-amp campsite outlet and the charger threw the Red Light at me. Turns out, I was using an "appliance/RV" adapter instead of an "EV" adapter. Others have described this. As a usability hobbyist, I am...
  8. What winter upgrade did you think you'd need… but didn’t?

    I have one of those windshield covers with loops that hook around the mirrors. That thing was fantastic for my old winter adventure car, a Subaru Outback. Almost never had to scrape. Now I just turn on climate control from my living room.
  9. Simple automatic wiper fix

    I will try your alcohol trick, and then try replacing my wipers. I drive in the PNW a lot also. My 2023 Gen 1 R1S has the following 3 levels of windshield wiper 'automatic-ness' : 3-bars = Automatically wipe 3 seconds after visibility is completely lost due to rain accumulation; 2-bars =...
  10. Rivian Switching from Alexa to Google Gemini - Bringing Voice / Text Integration (reported by RivianTracker)

    This will be great! Hopefully it takes longer than average to end up in the Google Graveyard - Killed by Google
  11. Snow Mode fail - costly result

    Sold! Ready to bolt on when winter arrives. 😃
  12. The one Rivian feature that never gets old for you?

    Remote control of cabin temperature from my cell phone. I've never had that before and it changed my life.
  13. Quiet owner.... but out.

    Me trying to figure out how to use the Martingale Convergence Theorem to decide whether my Scout ("80% of repairs can be performed without having to go to a dealership.") will be ready before my Rivian warranty runs out.
  14. Automated Settings Macros - Request for Ideas

    👆 This. A few physical buttons, maybe a knob or two. I would use for HVAC adjustments. [If you're not interested in an old person ranting about how we had it "back in the day" then skip the rest of this comment.] [Also, I really love my R1S but I am honest with myself that a few design...
  15. Interior passenger-side fuse box

    THANK YOU for this thread, for the fuse panel diagram, and for the photos! I just installed my buck converter for dash power using the parts posted by @Polar. I found an M8 bolt near the dead pedal with about 1.5cm of exposed threads. I used a ring terminal, star washer and second nut on that...
  16. R1S not being driven for 14-16 weeks - Tips?

    ... And I'll take care of your 2023 Mach E Premium. Vacuum, wash & polish included at no additional cost! :like:
  17. Meh - My R1S doesn't need a full-size spare any more

    Seems you're not alone - the folks who manufactured my manual tire plug kit make a kit designed for use with a drill!
  18. Meh - My R1S doesn't need a full-size spare any more

    Yes - my R1S came with a pouch of that kind of fix-a-flat stuff. Small form factor & doesn't require brute force or a drill. Appealing, though I am concerned it will gum up the TPMS sensor. Did that happen for you?
  19. Eliminating the charge port halo light was a bad call

    Yes! Then you could choose a rechargable mini flashlight if you wanted to...
  20. Meh - My R1S doesn't need a full-size spare any more

    Me too. Here's what I found: The dollar bill trick Basically: after patching the bicycle inner tube, if you need a way to prevent the tube from bulging out the hole in the tire when you reinflate, wrap the patched inner tube in a dollar bill at the location where the tube is going to be pushing...
