The Interroblog: Rivian Gear Mods, Shop Experiments, and Half-Baked Ideas

This is where we document the experiments, updates, field
tests, and occasionally poor decisions that shape our gear. Expect a mix of
product development insights, customer builds, and weird science from the
Interrobang team. It’s part dev diary, part shop talk, and occasionally useful.
