  1. DHD Tie Rod Sleeves Upgrade - Install Tips and Info

    Not sure this is true. My 2023 R1T was built in May and has the old, 14mm tie rods
  2. Sticky steering for days…then it cleared up.

    This literally just started happening to me. Did you ever figure out why? For me it also happens to be occurring now right after I did my seasonal change to my all terrain tires, and right when I installed a comma4 device. So I'm trying to narrow down the cause.
  3. Comma harness issues?

    Weird indeed. I'll try the hard reboot. I'm just hoping I didn't knock a wire or connection lose when installing the harness that is causing slightly more resistance with the steering. I was very careful though
  4. Comma harness issues?

    What's the disco reboot? Because even when the comma4 is unplugged, the harness is still installed. So I was wondering if there is something about that wiring that could be causing a minor interference. I hope not cause it's a pain to redo the plug into the AXM.
  5. Comma harness issues?

    I recently installed my comma4 and I am having a subtle issue. When the comma4 is not activated (or even unplugged from the usb-c entirely), my steering wheel feels "sticky", like it gets stuck in certain positions, and not smooth like it was before. It only requires slight effort to move it...
  6. High Capacity Battery (Lucky me?)

    I wonder where I'm at... my 2023 R1T has been averaging 2.61 mi/kWh with the 275/60r20 Michelin Defender LTX M/S2. and I have all terrain tires for the summer (285/65) that still average about 2.45 mi/kWh.
  7. 2027 R1 Due in August - What's Changing?

    Idk if I see it as a liabilty, as much as I see it as a tradeoff. You can't get 14.9 inches of ground clearance without adapative air suspension. if the ride height was permanently that high it would not handle well, put too much stress on certain components, and be dangerous at highway speed...
  8. Gen 2 tie rods stronger than Gen 1?

    the thinnest section is the same on both the old and new ones... However after doing some more research, the first point of failure is usually at the threads. So knowing this, I can see how the new ones are still stronger.
  9. Gen 2 tie rods stronger than Gen 1?

    Right but that's what I mean. The thinnest section is just as thin. Not where the threads are
  10. Gen 2 tie rods stronger than Gen 1?

    Adding a data point. My R1T was built in May 2023, and I confirmed it has the older M14 tie rods. What's confusing to me, is that the newer ones don't look any beefier... The thinnest point is just as thin which is where I would assume it would fail.
  11. Reclaiming empty powered tonneau cover space

    The dimensions mean it would perfectly fit a yakima road shower
  12. Windshield - Too easy to get chips/ cracks.....Any experience

    I'm already on my third windshield in less than 3 years.... I have been making sure I don't tailgate or drive anywhere near big trucks. Infuriating. I just got another chip and crack that is about 7 inches long right now but sealed. I will be pissed if this one keeps spreading.
  13. Got State Farm for insurance? Love to hear from you.

    I had State Farm on my Rivian for the first 2.5 years (I just switched). The Good - claims process and payout - very high coverage limits if you want them - decent discounts when bundled with home The Bad - Save Drive Discount is abysmal. No matter how conservative I drove it never gave me a...
  14. [ENDED] Comma 4 and PayPal Pay in 4 Offer Means $200 OFF !

    As I wait for my comma4 to ship, can someone answer 2 additional questions for me? 1. Would it be a pain to install the longitudinal harness at a later point after everything else is already installed? Also is it really worth it? Its like half the cost of a comma4, which seems very expensive to...
  15. Trail damage prevention: what’s worked best on your Rivian?

    i've scraped my rocks sliders countless times, they've saved me the most (megawatts). I also have the RUS and I did high center on that once on a Colorado trail rated 5/10. i also got a hitch skid, for like $130, haven't come down on that yet. Also running 285/65 Nokian Outpost nAT which have...
