Y'all are awesome. The annoying thing is I just got the email yesterday to confirm my shipping address for the Rivian adapter, which is what made me look at the route and discover the supercharger option.

Once I get that adapter, I'll be open to loaning it out, but it could be a few weeks
I got my email yesterday too.

Sent you a DM.

Recently received my Rivian NACS adapter. It will be available to borrow. Currently live in Ames. Just message if you ever need to borrow.

Mine arrived last week and is also available as a loaner if a need arises. Ankeny/DSM area.

The Atomic Wheels AW01 and General Grabber HTS60. Got a deal on the wheels, so they cost around $2100 shipped, got TPMS sensors from Amazon for $31 a pop, and Discount Tire mounted the tires and swapped things over for around $1,000. Figure next set of tires will break even on this wheel & tire combo versus sticking with the 21s.


Thoughts on the 20s?

Thoughts on the 20s?
I love the looks of the wheels and how the brake calipers are much more visible. And I appreciate that this will save me money, eventually. I don't know that my efficiency has increased, but it also doesn't seem to have decreased either. Ride comfort is... same? I dunno, it seems like a pretty subjective thing and hard for me to say. I guess it seems better overall.

I don't drive a whole lot so my experience may not be truly representative of this setup.

From Mark Steffen

Hello Iowa Rivian Owners. I am organizing the EV Display at the Ames EcoFair. It will be held on Saturday, September 28, 2024, at the Ames City Hall Parking lot. Thanks to Rivian R1T owners who brought their trucks last year. Hopefully one or more of you can bring your R1Ts again. It would be great to have an R1S too! If you can be there please sign up on the National Drive Electric Week website here; https://driveelectricweek.org/event?eventid=4437 This will let people who are interested in seeing a Rivian in person, that it will be there. The attached picture shows where the EVs on display will be parked in the Ames City Hall parking lot. The Ames EcoFair is a well-attended event. The display is in an even better location this year.


I signed up my 2022 R1T

Any R1S peeps available?

Nice, but I'll get a lot more excited when someone finally puts in just about any public charging in the Okoboji/Spirit Lake area. There is a dealership with 6.5kW Chargepoint chargers, but they are only available when the dealer is open, which is annoying as hell.
