  1. EV Sportline Rock Sliders. Not Jack-able by Rivian

    FWIW, I had my truck serviced on 4/17 in Fife, WA. They lifted it w/ the sportline rock sliders installed, no grief.
  2. What Did You Expect To Use… But Actually Never Do?

    - Camp speaker. Used it once when camping deep in the woods in bear country. - Air suspension. Kinda wish I could convert to springs at the standard height. I off-road and drive sporty a lot. Happy enough w/ standard height for most things. Love this truck so much though :-)
  3. Poll: Tie-rod failures when off-roading (Gen 1).

    Hi all, Hoping the community can give a pulse check for me, and I suspect we'd all be curious. I've had my R1T since 2022, but due to multiple life events, haven't done nearly as much off-roading or trails as I'd like. That's opening up now, and my toddler loves adventure!!! I'm feeling a...
  4. 20" Inch Goodyear Territory AT 275/60/20 Factory AT tires + saving $

    Well, with 800 miles on my new Territories, I had a rapid decompression yesterday on the highway. 0 psi by the time I pulled over. At first I thought I hit some road debris, but I think actually it was a large nail that I must have collected earlier and it got flung out. At any rate, the hole...
  5. 20" Inch Goodyear Territory AT 275/60/20 Factory AT tires + saving $

    Installed yesterday on a fresh set of MSW 52's. Just did an hour of highway + backroads to get a feel for them. Really pleased. Got 2.18 mi/kwh, 46*F outside and wet. That's on-par with my average on the 21"s of 2.2 mi/kwh! Legit didn't expect that without more break in. The ride feel is...
  6. 21” Pirellis suck!

    I've got the 21s on my Oct 2022 delivery R1T. 25k miles now. checked my wear just a couple weeks ago, at 7/32 and 8/32. PNW resident. Even mix of highway, city, and very spirited sport driving on back roads... Must be the heat down there in AZ!
  7. M.O.L.L.E. panels

    +1 for BuiltRight, I've got the fully MOLLE set on my T and very happy with it. I have a 5 gallon water tank off one of the panels and it's been great for nearly a year. Also agree on the interior usage. I ran panels in the rear window panels on my old Nissan XTerra and had luggage off those...
  8. Winter Camping Gear Winners & Lessons!

    Awesome! I've been rocking the gazelle T4. A tip I learned the hard-way: it performs so much better in the rain if you use the guy ropes to pull flaps away from the eyelets on the side. Last fall I spent 2 days just outside the Hoh rainforest in my T4 in truly torrential rain and stayed...
  9. How often do you have to reset your Rivian wall charger?

    I've never needed to reset my charger, I don't think. Sometimes I have to reset the truck. Once every 2 months, my R1T will fail to initiate a charge from the wall charger -- either red ring or staying white while plugged in. It's happened about 4 times now. At first I suspected the wall...
  10. What cooler do you carry in your R1T bed?

    I'm running the 30L version of the "ACOPOWER&LiONCooler 12V Car Refrigerator" (amazon link). It has a battery that charges off a wall socket and can run the fridge for about 18 hrs on a charge. It fits in the bed w/ tonneau closed. The bigger sizes will NOT fit. Absolutely love this thing...
  11. 10,000 miles road trip - Los Angeles to Rhode Island and back.

    Awesome! I too have come to R1T glamping from moto-camping previously -- it's so luxurious!!! I have this fridge (ACOPOWER&LiONCooler 12V Car Refrigerator-32 Quart -- X30A) and it fits nicely in the bed with the tonneau closed. Absolutely love it!
  12. 【BestEvMod】HEPA Air Filter Replacement we made.

    Ditto. Agree the quality was flimsy, but it IS very effective against smoke! I installed mine during some smoky days up here in the PNW, outside PM 2.5s were around 100 or so (which makes the math easy). I have an air quality sensor (Wynd -- discontinued now), and tested both the outside air...
  13. What Was Your Previous Daily Driver Before Rivian?

    2010 XTerra, 2" lift, full off-road underbody protection. Absolute beast in any condition, took it on jeep roads and surprised the rednecks. Loved that truck. Didn't love the 15mpg. Sold the XTerra to a friend, so I still get to see pictures of her exploring the world. Now my R1T has 21s...
  14. Reason 1 why not to eat in your R1T or R1S

    Use fish tank filter medium! Back in Feb I dropped a chapstick into that crevice. It was rolling around under the seat for months. After they retrieved it (for free!) during a service appointment for wind noise, I vowed never again. I got some fish tank filter medium and cut it to a couple...
  15. What’s making noise in my front bumper area while parked?

    Ooooh, I've been experiencing that noise too! Can someone share more details on how to best get at the moving parts?
  16. Polestar Is Beating Rivals Rivian, Lucid With No-Fuss Performance

    We're a P2 (hers) and R1T (mine) household. They are both fantastic EVs! The P2 is really insanely fun to drive fast on gravel and forest roads. It's begging to have a rally build. The P2 is also much more confidence inspiring in winter weather. And the google integration is amazing (though...
  17. Steering wheel noise when extending/telescoping

    No kidding! Mine does this too. I thought it was normal. Sounds like my otherwise perfect R1T finally has a problem!
  18. My Rivian completely dead from ~40% vampire drain after a month long vacation

    Yes, my Polestar 2 seems to have close to 0 vampire drain. I've left it for 2 weeks in a freezing airport parking lot (Seatac) and had 0 loss. Nearly all P2 owners have the same experience. Amazing car. If only it had better range :-(
  19. How often is 100% SoC "safe"

    I think you'd have to work INCREDIBLY hard to degrade a battery below 70% SOC over 8 years. I view that warranty as really covering long-term defects. Charge state is a thing I worry about re: the big one (the earthquake, that is). We're an all EV family now (R1T + Polestar 2), and in the PNW...
