  1. Real efficiency data for Michelin Defender LTX Platinum 285/60/20 on EV Sportline R1000 wheels vs OEM 21"

    OP, I recommend using standard ride height. Auto will eat tires & degrade ride quality...height provides very little efficiency improvement.
  2. How to Improve a Rivian R1T's Meridian Sound System w/ Simple EQ Changes (Equipment Measured Tests & Results) + Comparison to Elevation System

    @superfluid , I have a Meridian R1S in Austin (Leander/Cedar Park) & would love to help with some scientific comparison testing.
  3. RAN chargers being installed in San Antonio Texas @ The Shops at La Cantera

    Was there yesterday evening, no additional progress. Pic of nav shows their specific location.
  4. Configurations being built

    He decided to be flexible in order to take delivery ASAP!
  5. Configurations being built

    To date, I'm only aware of R1S with BM interior AND underbody shield. That could easily change at any point though...
  6. Fresh battle scar to my R1T from overlanding/off-roading weekend

    This is important, a bit of heat is required for PPF to self heal.
  7. Steering Wheel Shake at Highway Speeds

    Please tell me you're kidding. "Don't address the core problem, try to hide the symptoms" is not the right type of solution.
  8. Houston 2nd Meet Up Saturday, June 25th at 9am Location MKT Heights

  9. R1S Updated Delivery Timeframes?

    It's actually another one!
  10. Fresh battle scar to my R1T from overlanding/off-roading weekend

    Plastic welder. I've used one to fix kayaks & perform other plastic repairs...cheap & easy.
  11. R1S Updated Delivery Timeframes?

    I'm not an employee, got my 8 steps & VIN today, 0286. December 2018 preorder. No word yet on actual timeframe, but it seems non-employee 8 steps started happening yesterday. I was actually a little bummed & emailed my guide yesterday, then traded another message this morning before receiving...
  12. Rivian R1T CV axle failure missed by service center

    There should be ZERO joint play in any CV or driveshaft ujoint. This is absolutely a source of noise when torque is applied (and removed). See below also, it's my current theory on that issue as well. 100%, I had that EXACT conversation with someone immediately after watching this video, and...
  13. Steelies!

    It's not only possible, but likely. Yes. Many steel wheels have 3K load ratings per wheel, which is more than enough & better than most alloy options.
  14. Any activity in the Austin, TX area?

  15. Steering Wheel Shake at Highway Speeds

    FWIW, I think it might be play in the CV shafts that cause vibration/wobble at higher speeds.
