There is no "standard." And when the filters start to get clogged, a pump can be very slow. Edit: Costco's maintenance is usually pretty good, so a slow pump would probably have its filters changed before it became obnoxiously slow.

I have. I never bothered to time it, in all of the hundreds of times I bought gas at Costco, but I am quite certain that I never equaled either of those numbers. Sure Costco lines move fairly fast, but average of 4, and max of 10 - not my experience. And I'd rather be sitting in my EV doing...

It is substantial. Park your Rivian in the sun for awhile, and then touch the underside of the pano glass - it will be hot - so the pano glass is radiating and convecting heat into the cabin. Then touch the headliner anywhere, it won't be all that hot, comparatively. And even though most of the...

It appears to have been a rock impact. I recall once when a rock appeared to hit near the top of the windshield. It made a sound loud enough that I expected to at least see a chip or star crack, but I never found a corresponding impact point. Months later I noticed that the pano glass was...

I bet it would pass the Kim Java test, even now. And I'm sure it outlasted the glass roof on my R1T, which is currently shattered. And, you most likely have the option to repair your carbon fiber roof at substantially less cost than replacing a glass roof. But I'm glad you posted those pics - it...

It sounds like it could be the fan blades hitting something.

I just finally got mine replaced with the latest version a month or so ago - yours is so much quieter than mine.

Murder on everyone else in the garage, too.

Fobs do come up for sale on eBay, but they want $300 or more. But Swampnut's suggestion sounds better - stash a key card, and give your wife the fob.

Aren't you Mr. Helpful.

There are many Rivians beyond 60,000 miles, and some beyond 100,000 miles. I expect that my R1T will exceed 60,000 miles in a few months.

Rivian isn't paying retail cost for batteries - not for the AGM batteries, or for Lithium batteries (if they chose to install them). However, the cost to Rivian to replace any battery as a service item is far, far higher than the cost to install a somewhat more expensive battery on the...

Connect your 12V battery to a trickle charger with desulphation cycle, at least part of the time. That would likely be far more effective at keeping your battery alive (and healthy) than keeping it "plugged in the home EVSE."

If you charge them with trickle chargers frequently, it'll probably start sleeping more, due to improved health of the batteries.
