Anybody ever used one of these? Kinda digging it. Crazy affordable.
Saw this while walking the dogs today and was scratching my head a bit. Apparently you can get your Land Rover Defender outfitted with what looks like four spare tires?
I had to look this up to determine if this was an OEM thing or not and, sure enough, it is...
1) I had no idea that tires were a massive contributor to microplastics in the oceans
2) There's a startup that is trying to solve this -- could be an interesting partnership for Rivian

(Admins feel free to move this but it's not really a range thread nor an accessory thread nor a technique thread, so I figure it's just "general"...)
So, the 40% cold weather penalty news landed today with a thud...
Just dropped off my Audi for 50K service. Curious to know what kind of Rivian service schedule to anticipate? Maybe Tesla owners can weigh in. Is there any scheduled maintenance? Gotta squirt fresh vegan sunflower oil into the axles every six months or something?
Curious if anyone has their eyes on non-OEM wheel/tire combos and, if so, what are they?
My R1T is currently configured with 20" Rivian ATs, but I think these will probably only be the "right" setup for about 5-6 months: great during ski season and driving through snow; and great for...
Was doing some math on truck bed dimensions to determine whether or not I'd need roof ski racks and it seems like I definitely will. The bed is reported to only be 54 inches long with the tailgate up. My longest powder skis are 184cm (~72 inches). Even on the diagonal (also accounting for the...
I'm waffling between the 20" all terrain and the 21" standard all season tire.
I read this post from Pirelli: https://www.pirelli.com/global/en-ww/road/pirelli-tires-tailor-made-for-rivian, and it's not clear to me if the 20" tire will have a mud/snow rating. I know that the M+S label is a low...
I was recently pretty surprised to hear about how poorly Tesla has done on the JD Powers dependability surveys. This is old-ish news but here's an article: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/18/tesla-ranks-30th-in-unofficial-debut-on-jd-power-dependability-study.html
I know there are probably some...
Calling all campers / RV enthusiasts out there:
I recently decided to cancel the purchase of a 4x4 Sprinter van because I figure I'll be better off getting an R1T and adding some kind of optional camping solution. (Hard to park Sprinters in the grocery store parking lot...)
The Rivian-Yakima...
Anything on the rumor mill about dog-friendly Rivian accessories? Given the powered cover in the truck and the camp kitchen in the tunnel, I'm expecting like a dog escalator or heated Orvis beds or maybe an integrated dog washing hose... Just curious if there's been any chatter. My dogs are...
Perhaps I'm misinterpreting but this seems confusing. Here's the option in the configurator to update your options:
But when you click on "Update Configuration" you are presented with this message:
So you can change things without "affecting your priority for delivery" but it "may affect...
