I kludged together this rear end/bumper protector for my new ride. The Pintle mount shank is 2" X 10" long solid steel and the plate is 3/8" thick solid steel. The piece weighs 16lbs by itself and is rated for 13,000LBS. The bumpers are solid rubber 2.25" thick and 7" long. Luckily, the two...

Just wanted to mention I traded in my R1T for a Wrangler 4xe Rubicon yesterday. The Jeep 4xe has about a 30 mile all battery (17kWh pack) range and a 340mi ICE range. It's got 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque with actual real lockers front and rear. That 30 mil battery range should...

I guess I'm in the same boat as a lot of Rivian owners who are at the end of the pre-paid TuneIn subscription Rivian gave us. TuneIn is asking for (and won't be getting from me!) $9.99/month for their commercial free service starting June 30th. I actually use TuneIn while driving as it's a...

Used only a few times, never installed.. I ran it with a cig. lighter plug so the 12V to 5V power adapter has never been touched. Worked well, no issues. I only drive locally nowadays, so not really needed for Waze. $200 $150 includes mounting bracket, etc.. shown below and UPS Ground shipping...

Looks like they're about to go belly up folks... 😞 Feel for the poor souls who have already purchased ($50-$60K) and taken delivery of a Fisker Ocean. Fisker Is Closing Its California Headquarters https://insideevs.com/news/718677/fisker-closing-california-headquarters-report/ Fisker’s...

With our cramped parking lots in downstate NY I'm very nervous regarding people backing in to my R1T resulting in huge bills (for me). So, to that end.. I flipped the script with some really solid bumper protection to the tune of a 1" thick solid forged cast iron step/protector which weighs in...

Going forward, I would like to propose we all measure Vampire Drain using the same simple (and only reliable) method: Reset one of the Trip Odometers, let vehicle sit for XX hrs, then re-enter vehicle and record the actual kWh "Total Energy" number. Using the driver's screen (the smaller...

Admin Addendum: * create/copy your account at sister-site Fisker Alaska Forum with just 1-click at your account copy menu ✅ Very interesting vehicle indeed... When I checked the Fisker site this morning, it seems the reservation for the Alaska has dropped from $1,000 to only $250 now (and...

If you could go back to see your favorite band or bands in their prime... what song(s) would you absolutely love to see them play for you.. of course at a private viewing in an acoustically perfect setting 😄 Led Zep: In My Time of Dying - because of Jimmy's master guitar class on display...

Last night the genius across the street decided to blow off a ton of fireworks in the street vs. his own backyard like most people do. I woke up to three of our cars littered with debris from his pyrotechnics. Thankfully with the help of cleaner wax from my boat all the marks came off my hood...

First time towing our 20' Grady with the R1T yesterday..... it towed like a dream! Smooth launching and braking, hardly noticed the 3,500lb boat/trailer behind us. As a matter of fact, used regen most of the 5mi trip down to the ramp, hardly touched the brakes.... it was that good. Absolutely...

My truck got delivered Jan 20th, my permanent NY plates arrived today Feb 8th via FedEx. 20 days from delivery to permanent plates and registration docs... not bad!

So an apples to apples comparison of my rate with the same exact coverage for my R1T from my existing Allstate agent and from Rivian ins... and keep in mind NY area rates are high (but we have $0 deductible full glass coverage). $1,210/6 months on Allstate w/three other cars on the policy...

Since my R1T arrived a little over a week with no issues that need to be addressed.. we now have too many cars in our driveway, so our 2019 Mazda CX3 has to go... and that has always been the plan since I ordered my R1T 17 months ago. It has 28K miles on it and is in very good condition, we are...

Getting my R1T tomorrow.. 8-steps completed including Insurance ID card uploaded 1/18. All was good to go for Fri 1/20 delivery till I get a "your delivery could be delayed" email today 1/19 at 3:45pm from Rivian. Seems they rejected my Insurance ID cards because: 1) Name on ID card can not be...

If you haven't heard of or seen Luke Talley.... enjoy the following video. The guy is sharper now then most of us will ever be, he's a certifiable genius and just one of the reasons the 1960's US space program flourished.

At least the dude is honest stating out loud his overall 3 out of 10 rating while sitting 2ft away from the Vinfast rep..

Cautionary video By 'Out of Spec' Kyle on just how much time and effort you'll waste if you let your EV traction battery run down to 0% SOC... tldw: it took 3+ hrs for flatbed to arrive at 3:15AM to get transported 1 mile to closest CCS charger.

AFAIK, the above hasn't happened yet.. or has it? It's been crickets for me with my Nov-Dec 2022 scheduled OC interior and "manual tonneau" config. Anyone hear anything encouraging from Rivian?

Love these longer days with clear skies.....
