Honestly this feels a little counterintuitive to me in the sense that if you were doing stop and go (after the "warmup period") that it would actually be beneficial - due to the added regen vs just holding a set speed for the same amount of time. But I guess in practice it's not that simple...
That looks like a pretty damn serious "parking lot" accident. That's a real accident, not just a "bump". Still surprised it's frame damage, but that's not a little tap - the tow hook is ripped off
So having just taken ownership a bit earlier this month, I'm a little worried about the efficiency I'm seeing vs the numbers other seem to throw out here pretty regularly. But specifically, this is "around town" driving that I'm more concerned about, I have the 22s so I know things will be...
Rock sliders don't provide any significant "mechanical" advantage - as compared to things like gearing, engine mods, suspension mods, etc. They're primarily protection. Yes, they can let you "slide" over an obstacle that might have torn a hole into the body/frame and "hooked" you up on it but I...
Yeah, that's kinda what I figured - the plate itself won't matter much, it's the registration they'll go off of, and it's an electric reg. so you'll be paying - which is fine - it's just unclear how vanity plates work with the EL registration
Just saw this too - how does this work? So if you're more than 90 days outside the window you just... don't get to apply? That seems nuts. There's something in the FAQ that mentions buying "outside" a cycle but it didn't really make sense to me. But it seems insane to randomly penalize someone...
Maybe a stupid question - I just got my Rivian plates, they are "EL" plates - electric vehicle plates (with the additional yearly fees).
Can you get "vanity" EL plates? are they just regular plates and still just pay the yearly fee per the registration type? how does this work in IL? Thanks!
So picked mine up yesterday and I can agree that in the default tuning (with 3d processing off - I find things to be insanely weird with it on) is definitely... ok...
Background: I went to college for sound engineering (for 1.5 years and then I was working full time for one of the largest audio...
Definitely could be this. As there has been at least 1-2 releases and possibly they remapped that first part of the pedal travel to allow for a little better control. It's a great thing whatever the reason as I had genuine concern about being able to accurately place the vehicle in 1-2in...
Weed whacker was there but very minimal just for a few minutes after initial wake. To be fair though it's only like mid-80s here though so might be more severe when it creeps up toward 100
It's on high. I wanted to just go straight to "hard mode" and learn one-pedal driving as it was going to be (this is my first EV), but the test driver was on high as well, so I don't think that would account for the difference
Also side note...
When I did my test drive, I have a distinct memory of the accelerator pedal being very.. soft? It was squishy and like VERY easy to depress.
On my vehicle it feels much more firm, it has some heft... not where it's uncomfortable to hold in position, it's just enough to...
Found a near enough match in the store last week, and picked it up today. VIN 131XX
One question - I had the wall charger, field kit, and cargo crossbars in my order and got.. none of them today. Is that still normal? I know early on pretty much no one got any accessories at delivery - is that...
