You and I are a lot alike, my friend. The viewpoint is where the difference lies. I agree the air bubble is a frictionless, non-compressible fluid. We are ignoring the effects of the air conditioning. The air movement because of it is far greater than the movement of this bubble. Your...

Again, I'm NOT saying the air moves to where you are. I'm saying your position in the "cloud of air" in the vehicle changes relative to it. Just think of your truck traveling down the road containing an air bubble. The air bubble has vey little friction with all the stuff in the truck it...

W1SE is answering your question, but most of you aren’t getting it. When you make a turn, the air doesn’t turn with you, so you suddenly find yourself in the air that was in the center of the rear seat. The ac recovers quickly. I have encountered this in many high performance vehicles.

A little clarification...HOLD or electronic brake activation is accomplished by a small gearmotor located on the inboard side of the two rear brake calipers. This is common on many cars. After the Rivian comes to a stop, these motors press the inner brake pads onto the inboard side of the...

Am I the only one who’s figured this out? Getting in and out of my garage requires tight three-point turns, precise alignments, and close tolerances. Doing this with just the accelerator is scary and dangerous. I simply lightly press both pedals simultaneously and the truck moves like an ICE...

Thanks. I got clear PPF installed on the front end, A-pillars, windshield header, front bumper, mirrors, rocker panels, door sills, and tailgate top when I got my truck last year. The installer told me he would not wrap the edges, and he didn't. No problems with me, as I noticed Rivian didn't...

Yeah. I don’t want that limitation. Worked well yesterday. Reflective tape may be in my future. The CHMSL is visible and enough of the light bar as well.

Took our new eBikes out today for our first 22-mile ride on a rail-to-trail. Great time!

That's beautiful! You and I are pretty much of the same mind. I'm thinking my next one will be a quad motor enduro beast at 1200hp, too. I probably would have done what you did if they offered leases in SC, but I wouldn't have opted for the dual motor. The smoother ride is likely the tires...

Yeah. It’s exactly like mine, and I sure wouldn’t sell mine that low, but as trade-ins go, I guess you did ok. Now that you’ve driven both, what are your impressions of each?

This is a smokin hot deal for someone. Just curious—how much was Rivian offering for the trade-in?

There's been quite a few comments about front tire wear because of regenerative braking on QM in Conserve and DM in FWD mode. Even when in AWD, 80% of the braking is done at the front wheels simply because of weight transfer when decelerating. This is true on any vehicle--even a bicycle. So...

Yep. I’ve done three as well. Got the new tires installed yesterday. Ride is smooooth!

Calibration will probably fix it for you. I'm 6'3" with a 34" inseam. I raise the back portion of the seat bottom about 2" from lowest, raise the front of the seat bottom a little to support my thighs, back the entire seat away from the wheel so that my right knee just clears the center screen...

Am I the unicorn? I have 40,000 miles on my original 21" Pirellis, and am installing new ones next week. I accelerate quickly, drift occasionally, launch weekly, kneel when I park, and keep the truck in All Purpose Auto 80% of the time. I don't use Conserve when I'm driving in town (which is...

I, too, am seeing evidence of midnight tampering from Rivian. Tidal album art returned, audio output volume much lower, fewer icons on dock, efficiency graph reset twice, failed to kneel twice. Not willing to reboot because I like having the album art back.

Does the film stop short of panel edges, leaving slim glossy edges, or does it wrap around so that all visible paint is covered? Door jambs?

This photo, if real, causes me to be Amazed Impressed Encouraged If the nickel/manganese/cobalt battery had caught on fire, it would not have been put out. There would be no house or Rivian left to photograph. This is evidence that the high-voltage battery did not ignite. If it can survive...

This was my simple solution. Single magnet is the exact thickness needed to hold the door in place against the steel air spigot.

A gallon of gasoline, BTW, contains 33.7 kWh of energy.
