  1. Borealis and Forest Green not available at R2 launch

    Very disappointing. We were all-in on a Borealis Launch Edition despite all the hubbub around Gen 3 hardware/LIDAR. Will figure out how to pivot when the configurator comes online. Hopefully we'll have some clarity from that. We were OK taking Gen 2 hardware, but with the lack of colors, sounds...
  2. Rivian and Redwood Materials partner to re-use Rivian batteries at Normal plant

    There are also vehicles that were involved in an accident where the pack remains salvageable in addition to the aforementioned cases where battery degradation means the pack isn't desirable as part of an EV platform but the capacity is still sufficient for other, stationary use cases.
  3. Rivian repair by owner

    I understand this to a degree and we've, unfortunately, seen it across the industry. Vehicles have become increasingly complex, requiring bespoke tools, procedures, knowledge, and software support to repair. This forces folks to the dealership if they're in need of repair or it completely...
  4. Rivian repair by owner

    I'm interested in this. For example, I had a leaking rear damper replaced under warranty. In any other vehicle, if this occurred outside of warranty, that would be DIY. Given the complexity of Rivian's suspension the number of sensors involved, I'd be curious as to what this would look like if...
  5. Submerged in Mud Rivian R1T Survives Flood in Hurricane Helene!

    The wobble is almost certainly from caked mud. This is common in any environment that gets snow/slush. Ice builds up within the barrel of the wheel and creates a balance issue. While it's probably a good idea to get the truck checked out, the community reaction strikes me as more emotionally...
  6. 20" Inch Michelin Defender LTX Platinum tires review update!

    My first job was at Discount Tire. The LTX line was ALWAYS one of the store favorites. They balanced easily, customers loved them for their quiet, comfortable ride, they have excellent traction in all conditions (Minnesota), and they came in a ton of size/load ranges. I really like the look of...
  7. Advice for winter tires?

    R1T with the factory 20s with ATs here. They were fine in the snow, but I went with a dedicated winter tire (Blizzak) given the weight of the truck, my relative unfamiliarity with regen braking (this was prior to the snow mode release), and some interesting driving dynamics in a quad motor as...
  8. Manual Tonneau Cover- how do you like it?

    I really like mine (pre-hike pricing). It looks good, fits well, is quite functional (one underrated feature is that the panels are linked. So if something slides to the front of the bed, it's easy to pull the whole cover a bit, create an opening near the front of the truck, and shove that item...
  9. Ohio For Sale: Wristband Key

    Interested if @connoisseurr doesn't purchase it.
  10. Rivians built with CCS charge ports will get free NACS adapter, with additional adapters available in the Gear Shop

    I'd be interested in the schematics supporting this. Not saying you're incorrect, but my brain is having trouble rationalizing the ability to create a relatively small adapter but the inability to do so internally through hardwiring. In my simple brain, this isn't vastly different than...
  11. What do you want addressed in the next OTA update?

    I believe they mentioned this was coming. I believe NHTSA has to review each individual camera for latency, perspective etc., so once they clear it, this should be in the near future. Personally, I want this for towing, too.
  12. Wavy auto glass after window tint

    I noticed it when I had my windshield tinted. Let the truck bake in the sun for a bit. The film should smooth out. If it doesn't smooth out after a week or two, I'd go back to the installer.
  13. Not enough range warning

    @gsqrd I'm in Madison - If there's anything I can do to help (anything from charging or vehicle help to food or place to stay recommendations) don't hesitate to reach out!
  14. Tractor Hauling

    Great pictures and conclusions. For reference, I did a ~110 mile roundtrip with a heavy U-Haul car trailer (~2200#), a ~1600# race car, and a whole bunch of gear/tools. I came back with a comfortable amount of range and really ate into that on the return trip where I went whatever speed traffic...
  15. Dog Platform Bench custom DIY made for R1T back seat

    Sorry for the delay. Inlay - Approximate dimensions are 1150mm by 315mm. The corner radius were made by taking corrugated cardboard and pressing firmly on the indentation of the underseat storage. I used that impression and trimmed it with scissors to create a template. I traced that radius...
  16. Have the truck lock by itself or give warnings if you forget to lock the car at home after a certain amount of time.

    I assume this means you're not using PAAK? Proximity matters, but my truck locks using PAAK even when at home.
  17. Owning the Truck but not the Software

    I think your concerns are reasonably well-founded, but I also think you're (perhaps) underestimating the impact of a market opportunity and/or someone taking personal interest in solving a problem. This is to say nothing of the legal matter, just the viability of owning the truck outside of...
