  1. LF: Repair recommendations for R1S tailgate trim

    We have some damage on the tailgate of our 2025 R1S from backing into a partially open garage door (don't ask how :facepalm:). There's a dent and some scratches, all limited to the piano-black plastic trim at the top of the tailgate. See pictures. Curious how we should go about repairing this...
  2. Which one do you prefer? Kagu/3D mats vs Tuxmat (including seatbacks and cargo area)

    I've been trying to decide which 3rd party floormats/cargo mats and seatback covers to go with. I've (currently) narrowed my choices to Kagu/3D vs Tuxmat, but would like to hear the thoughts/reviews of those who have purchased each? I'd also like to see if anyone has come up with a decent form...

  5. Tailgate refinement needed. Rattles, clunky and heavy

    My tailgate is the worst part on the whole truck. Rattles, clunky, heavy. I feel like I'm shutting the tailgate of a 78 Ford. Anyone have any ideas?
  6. Bed Extender?

    Hello all. I see the mention that the size of the bed is longer when the tailgate is down which includes some neat extension slide out. However, without some sort of cage or ability to securely strap at the tailgate, its only longer when not moving. I have reached out to Rivian but havent...
  7. Rivian submitted new Swing and Drop Tailgate patent

    "Rivian has submitted a patent for a “Swing and Drop Tailgate” door that would allow for easier access to the bed of the R1T pickup truck." This from an article at the Teslarati website. Seems like a long overdue approach.
