I had an Equal-i-zer hitch for my boat trailer that I regularly used to haul my sailboat to and from the ocean ~50 miles twice a year with a much lighter Toyota Highlander. Then (at least) the Equal-i-zer required brackets mounted on the trailer frame to engage the anti-sway and load equalizing...

I generally do this for myself in a dark-ish garage. The charge cable is hung on a supporting post about even with the left wheel. I approach from the rear detach the cable from the post and plug it in leaning forward towards the front of the car. The light is being cast mostly in front of the...

Found on floor near right corner of front seat console. Any idea what it is or where it goes?

Inquiring minds want to know. New England RAN locations seem comparatively sparse and widespread. There is only one location actually in southern VT. None north of that in Vermont. One in New Hampshire (practically in Vermont!) nothing else in New Hampshire or Massachusetts east of Holyoke. Or...

Could be worse. This is from picking up my son from UVM after freshman year. Lucky there were only two of us coming home. There was also stuff in frunk but didn't take a photo.

Just returned from Maine vacation where there are few choices along coast other than Tesla north of RAN chargers in Freeport (at LL Bean) or Kittery (NH State line) ( Note that I used both RAN chargers, Freeport on way up and Kittery on way home). I used the Tesla chargers at Ellsworth (older...

I just did the 8-hour 2-charge round trip from NW Boston suburbs to UVM to return #2 son after spring break. While passing south through Nashua NH at dusk caught a glimpse on my right of a structure that looked like a Rivian Service Center (no sign yet). Appeared to be near former FAA center...

Late Gen 1

I drive US3-I93-I89 from NW suburban Boston to Burlington VT and back regularly (son at UVM). Installed most recent update Friday and returned him to campus from Spring Break Sunday. Had one odd glitch (northbound) when cruise control+lane assist chose to alarm and disengage during the big left...

I see one or two most days coming home from work. Very few on the way to work, but probably because I go to work earlier than most. Two Saturdays ago, I saw three (two green R1T s and a silver R1S ). Would have been four if I had been driving mine, but unfortunately I was not ?

I have a set of the all-Season 21" on the 2023 OEM all-Season pirellis with lots of tread left. Located NW suburban Boston MA area. Let me know if interested.

I have a dual-motor R1S with 21's delivered Dec '23. My 21" Pirellis are holding up well enough so far (9.5K miles, one tire rotation) but wanted another winter option after some white knuckles in the Green Mountains of VT last January. I just received a set of 4 Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV in...

I'm not 100% certain but, seems to me that while using my home Level 2 charger the app later shows the "charging time" the interval between when I plugged it in and when it unplug it the next morning, even if it only actually charged for an hour or three overnight (i.e., it says something like...

Preface this by saying I have a V1 2023 R1S 21" wheels. The height of the exterior frame of my garage door is 84 inches. However the lowest point of the garage door itself fully open is 78 in. My standard practice is to put the vehicle in park in the driveway and allow it to kneel while the...

How did all this s#!t fit into a dorm room?
