Now that I've installed the SnapPlate front license plate holder, I finally filled out the EveryAmp review. Here it is. Hope it helps others: Shipped promptly, so the license plate holder arrived well before we picked up the car. Engineered and built VERY precisely to hold the plate very close to the front bumper without scraping. Installation instructions were clear, would have benefited from one more picture showing how to find the center slots in the grille. Grille Depth Adjustment instructions were also clear; with one half-turn adjustment of three screws, the license plate holder fit PERFECTLY in place. Check the EveryAmp web site for photographs of how much their product blocks the front camera image at every setting. After reviewing the photos, I chose the center setting. I find the camera interference at that setting is trivial for me. There's a lot of competition for the front-of-R1 real estate. My understanding is that Rivian's front plate holder requires drilling a hole in a perfectly good vehicle, and can also block a small part of the camera image. Tow hook mounts take a tow hook out of commission, and can block a sensor. EveryAmp's mount is designed to protect the grille by snapping off when attacked by a car-wash brush, so you have to dismount it (relatively easy to do) and remount it before washing. I'm still happy with the EveryAmp product, which we have installed in our R1S and now R1T. Very best wishes!

One of our club member who just got his Rivian R1T, started experiencing some teething issues. With less than 1,000 miles on the clock, he noticed that a window trim piece was separating and lifting. The front passenger door was even starting to clip the trim when opening and closing.

To temporarily fix the issue, he decided to use some Gorilla Glue and a clamp to hold the trim in place until the mobile service team can arrive. He was a bit disappointed that it has taken over a month to schedule the service. Rivian's mobile service was actually one of the main reasons he bought the truck, and he's hoping they can get that aspect sorted out soon.

Despite this minor hiccup, he still loves his R1T and the experience of driving an electric vehicle. It's perfect for his daily needs, and he's enjoying the smooth, quiet ride. Fingers crossed that Rivian's mobile service team can get the trim issue fixed quickly and efficiently.
