  1. R1T Efficiency / Range -- can it drive 250 miles round trip without recharging?

    I'm wondering that even if you could make the trip, if you need to do it back to back, you'll have to make sure you can actually recharge enough at home to do it again the next day. Assuming that with such a long commute you're leaving early and getting home late - there simply may not be enough...
  2. Virginia Quad motor badge

    I left the doors blank after my wrap and honestly I don't mind or miss the lettering there one bit. I debated on the rear as well, but ended up keeping it, just black badging on black wrapped in satin PPF so it ends up being pretty subtle badging everywhere at that point. On a different color I...

  4. Suggestions for a wheel repair shop near chicago/NW Burbs

    Thank you for sharing man! That honestly seems quite reasonable, I was expecting about double that. I may have to give them a go. It's a bit of a haul but not too bad
  5. Stealth PPF for Midnight - Two Tone or Full Stealth?

    It's hard because first you have to find the vehicle
  6. Stealth PPF for Midnight - Two Tone or Full Stealth?

    Glad you got it finished,looks sick! And glad Pete got you hooked up with the badges ?
  7. Suggestions for a wheel repair shop near chicago/NW Burbs

    I'm stuck at a tech conference this week and was hoping to get some options before I flew out ? hence the bump. I won't be able to reach out to anyone for a while now (flying today) but if you don't hear anything and I find someone I'll dump it in here. And yeah, sharpie will be the current...

  9. Suggestions for a wheel repair shop near chicago/NW Burbs

    Well, not a great day yesterday, had to commute downtown and ended up in one of the tightest/narrowest garages I have been inside in the city. When I parked, I was thinking if one person is not fully pulled forward near the corners there's going to be a problem. When I left in the evening...
  10. Rivian Scale Model Cars Coming Soon ?

    Midnight Black, with Ocean Coast interior, 22" black sport wheels. Can you Matte wrap and chrome delete it and blackout the badges for me too :D
  11. Folks that did matte/stealth/satin PPF, any regrets, lessons?

    Details in my post - for Chicago. It wasn't cheap, but I went with a shop that can charge based on reputation. I feel it was worth it. I'd say you're looking at $5-8k for a full wrap on the lower-end and 10-12k on the high-end if you're adding more than just the wrap (like chrome delete...
  12. Folks that did matte/stealth/satin PPF, any regrets, lessons?

    Just got mine done, and ceramic coat over top - wouldn't trade it for anything. The installers were so happy with the result I had to wait for THEM to finish taking pics before I could leave. I'd say fingerprints will show, but if you're even a little mindful of it while closing doors it's...

    @juanherrera425 Agreed. And at least there are actually a lot of places a very short drive away to get those things. So as long as you're not in immediate danger of not making the charger, you can quickly grab something on the way in, and then head over to charge. It still beats the mayhem at...
  14. Vampire Drain increase after 2024.27.01 update?

    Definitely seeing more drain after the recent update. I had horrible drain early on (3-5%/day) then it gradually got better - 1% or so - and now it's back to 2-3% every day
  15. Yes, Rivian does report the speed limit as 80 MPH

    Was going to make this exact comment - It gets this wrong almost every time for me on IL roads
  16. New R1S Dual Performance Max AT Range issues

    My first two trips (only like 300mi) did not go as "planned" either, and I spent a LOT of time getting ready - bottom line is it's just an experience thing. Nothing bad happened,and my plans were "fine" the issue was the reality of the ONE viable charging station along one leg of the route where...
  17. New R1S Dual Performance Max AT Range issues

    Hey OP - First time EV owner here as well. Definitely take the responses here as "constructive" and not derogatory - it WILL take time to learn the ins and outs of this, and as many have stated, speed is the single biggest factor YOU can control - weather, grades, etc. you're just at the mercy...
  18. New "Steelie" Wheels for Rivian R1T / R1S launched and in-stock at EV Sportline!

    Maybe unpopular opinion, but I don't "love" this look for R1/R2 as I think the body lines, while... retro inspired in some ways, are just too clean and modern for such a "utilitarian" rim. However... I can see these matching up quite well with an R3X and some nice chunky tires The rims on...
