I understand that nothing I or anyone says is likely to change your mind on this, and that’s okay as each of us has to make many choices about what/what not to believe. As others have pointed out there has been no solid connection between leukemia and EMF due to our inability to determine a...

Virtue signaling is not necessarily a bad thing. In this instance I see it as a positive. The drug chain is being candid and sincere; and they, like all of us, have a right to do as they choose as long as it’s not illegal. It was reported they buy 180 EVs a year; so they are still buying EVs...

I believe it’s the charger. Several days ago I used a Tesla Supercharger with the Magic Dock; so Tesla’s built in adapter. Started out just under 200 kw. Within about 7-8 minutes it had dropped down below 130 kw stating that it was being limited by the charger. Stayed there about 30 minutes...

What speed were you averaging on that drive?

In my opinion, yes. Seems it would be easy to cancel the order, and reorder to desired address.

I believe that is only half of the story. If warrantor refuses warranty coverage what are you going to do? Are you going to somehow force them to cover it? Assuming you are unable to convince them to cover it your only option is to sue them? If you choose to sue then both the warrantor and...

Obviously, you won’t have to do that now since they are covering the repair under warranty, but if you ever do consider doing that in the future it would be good to think carefully about it or even get Rivian’s thoughts on it first. Adding a simple horn is one thing (doesn’t really affect the...

“Oh ye of little faith”, to borrow a quote.

I’m puzzled. I must be missing something. Please, what is so important or useful about being able to view the odometer while driving? In my experience the odometer is one of the least used pieces of information available In a vehicle. For the uses I have made of that information it can...

How do you plan to clean/wash it? Power wash, hand wash, drive thru car wash? And is that how you cleaned your other two? Did you ever have any issues with the ppf on your other two … peeling of the ppf, un-self healing scratches/cuts, or significant shrinkage of the ppf that actually...

I would have asked that of Rivian as they are the ones who made it work that way.

Use a flat faced punch and hammer to drive it out. Slides right out. If no punch available can make one with appropriate sized nail by grinding/filing the point flat.

As others have said the front brakes are not applied when in park; so front wheels could turn/roll. If you had put the rocks behind the front tires it probably would not have “slipped” since those tires were on dry concrete.

I’ve read of others experiencing these “courtesy wipes”, but I have never had a single one. My wipers never operate unless I switch them to one of the “on” positions. I always keep mine in the “off” setting unless I need them.

Don’t really know your situation as you don’t really provide a lot of details, but based on my recent experience I would guess it is the colder weather. My R1S is on 20” ATs, and has about 8,500 miles on it. My overall efficiency for the first 7000 miles was 2.19 mi/kw. For the last 1,500...
