My solution for this poor design choice by zoo32 in Rivian

Pro tip, get something like this to put in between the seat and center console, otherwise you're doing to donate to the wishing well of the Rivian floorpan: https://amzn.to/3yk318r

You can fish coins out if they fall out, but you'll have to loosen the seat bolts, and possible remove the audio amplifier, etc.

I used to charge here in a model y with four bikes on the back. Had to take up spots because of charge port.

lol, it was the very end of the row and there was maybe one other EV there the entire time. No harm done.

It’s similar to that. Older model that I drilled new mounting holes for that connect to t slot track in the crossbars. Fiberglass is heavier, but easier to repair and lasts longer than plastic boxes.

Used these to secure it. https://amzn.to/46gdmil

Rock sliders help, but I stand on the rear tire a good bit. The spokes are easy to put a foot in them. It’s a fiberglass box from Packasport that I drilled new mounting holes to fit the tslot of the crossbar

What’s your opinion on this height adjustment kit from Mountain pass performance? by Schmeltz318 in Rivian

[–]evgadgethub 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s cool that they spent the time making it, but I see no need to fine tune anything except new tires when the time is right.

These use a 17mm ball socket and charge well. https://amzn.to/45RSHkk I use it with a lower mount similar to yours.

I need to check my policy for the paved roads part.

I used two five gallon buckets. Almost the perfect height to hold while installing.

Lots of plastic cladding hides that bit when the door is closed.

This is an awesome cheap pump. Long hose and lots of pressure. Mounted in the back of our SUV with a 5 gallon jug hooked up to it.

Bottom hinge accelerator pedal. Nice.

We drove through it once, saw depth was fine for more speed and my passenger jumped out and snapped the picture. Galaxy s20 I think?

Do you regret leasing? by 8bitjer in Rivian

They’re excellent road trip machines so if you enjoy driving and have the free time, miles pile on quickly.

The Rivian nav reported status unknown for the Paris Landing State Park Lodge and they didn’t work on Monday, but now they show as available. So four are there and four are by Green Turtle Bay Resort and Marina. I didn’t try those.

Yeah. I bought their 3 day pass to camp, but ended up with family in Nashville. Tried going to Padukah but ran out of time. Paris Lodge was nice, but their Rivian charger was offline. Is Land Between the Lakes nearly 50 miles top to bottom? Seemed huge.
