  1. Rivian’s RAD TUNER is like an equalizer for customizing the Gen 2 Quad powertrain

    Maybe I should make a new topic but does anyone else notice no safety Nannie’s are enabled anytime you use *any* RAD tuning. That is a major problem and means I can’t run these custom modes due to liability. This is not a development mode. This is not an off road only mode —- I see NO reason...
  2. What Actually Fails First in Real-World Rivian Ownership

    AI/Gemini summary: The BMW iX and Rivian R1T represent two fundamentally different philosophies in EV braking design. While the BMW iX uses a highly advanced "brake-by-wire" system that prioritizes a seamless, "gas-car-like" pedal feel, the Rivian R1T utilizes a traditional hydraulic setup...
  3. What Actually Fails First in Real-World Rivian Ownership

    Wow, I'm reading that the brake pedal in the Rivian is primarily a friction brake. in my outgoing BMW iX had a blended brake pedal where light braking still was primarily regenerative and became progressively friction-preferred with heavier braking. That said, the regenerative braking is much...
  4. What Actually Fails First in Real-World Rivian Ownership

    Your tesla was thousands of pounds less than your R1T. These brakes are also undersized. Also 85k isn't low mileage by any stretch. Hopefully they continue to work on these wear issues, and sorry for the expense!

  6. What Actually Fails First in Real-World Rivian Ownership

    For four rotors/pads? seems market to me unless using a small local shop.
  8. What Actually Fails First in Real-World Rivian Ownership

    My god I wish mine wouldn't unlock. Mine unlocks from in the living room, if I'm walking anywhere in the house adjacent to the garage which is pretty much everywhere. May need to turn off remote entry. First world problem indeed.

  11. You've Owned An EV For A While Now. How Have Your Charging Habits Changed?

    My charging habits have been pretty consistent because I like to work within resilient, flexible systems. I charge to 80% everyday with the R1; 90% with the iX (turn-in at lease end next week). Inevitably, with the kids, there’s a day here or there I forget to charge and the everyday habit...
