  1. Them’s the Brakes: Replacing Pads only vs Pads & Rotors

    My ICE vehicles would see brake jobs around 30-60k as well, depending on the car, and I get the weight argument but my Lightning is within 100lbs of the R1T, actual measured weight at CAT scales, and the R1T has far more aggressive regen. I could see the type of driving playing a factor -...
  2. Them’s the Brakes: Replacing Pads only vs Pads & Rotors

    You probably get more than me, but I’m in the NE so I see salt as well. Especially in my F-150 Lightning, which plows in the winter. It’s not that there’s zero use, but definitely not enough to warrant replacement.
  3. Them’s the Brakes: Replacing Pads only vs Pads & Rotors

    I was surprised to see this thread. Over a decade of EV ownership, various brands and a number of them have gone over 100,000 miles. One nearing 200,000….i have never replaced pads or rotors on a single one of them….
  4. Decisions, Decisions - keep R1T or Lightning with planned R2 purchase

    It’s a tough one. I maintain - by unpopular opinion - that the two trucks sit in different classes. When I went Lighting to R1T, I missed the Lightning regularly. Things regularly frustrated me when it was missing (some has been fixed with OTA and Gen2) When I went from the R1T to the...
  5. Decisions, Decisions - keep R1T or Lightning with planned R2 purchase

    As someone who bought a Lightning first (2022 Pro) I have to say it’s a phenomenal truck and I say you keep it. As someone who then sold it and took delivery of my R1T (2022 Quad) I have to say it’s a great truck and you should keep it the R1T As someone who then sold the R1T and bought a...
  6. cracked windshield in cold weather woes

    I’ve had it happen in my Teslas. I’d say it’s poor engineering and rushed development, but it happened in my Toyota Sienna too… Oddly enough my Subarus with their windshield wiper heaters never caused an issue.
  7. Rivian Tri Motor R1S vs. Lucid Gravity Comparison Review by Edmunds

    I'd argue they are both crossovers and competes along with a Kia EV9. Sure it doesn't have the branding but in terms of usage, 3 rows, kids, that is where the 3 of these vehicles fight for domain. The R1S could play in there too, but it really wasn't meant to IMO. It's a jack of all trades...
  8. No more cubbies under armrest in 3rd row. Replaced by cupholders in 2025 R1S Gen2

    Demo Tri-Motor w/ Premium sound/vision in the showroom had cubbies..
  9. New Jersey Sold: FS: Lectron Vortex CCS to NACS Supercharging Adapter - $199 Shipped

    My adapter came in so no longer need it. Listing in case someone else is interested and waiting still.
  10. R1T topper shell by Wakeshield

    Ventilation. That topper doesn’t have windows, and you don’t have a rear sliding window for your dogs on the R1T
  11. Out of Spec seemingly confirms R1 refresh in about a month

    This. If you don't consider these things, then Tesla did their first refresh of the Model S/X in 2022, but obviously AP1/AP2 was different. 90D/100D was different. MCU 1 vs 2 vs 2.5. Motors, suspension, etc. As for timeline it was less than 1 year before MX went AP1 to AP2. It was another...
  12. Ford "PRICE WAR" drives RIVN under $10

    It feels very Tesla circa 2017/18 with the stories, speculation, a defense. Then after 19/20, never had to look back. Lucid, obviously Fisker are still questionable. But Polestar and Rivian are here to stay based on what they’ve accomplished so far.
  13. Anyone charged an F150 Lightning using the Rivian home charger?

    I can confirm it works with no issues. Your Rivian will also charge on his Ford charger. Both cars will charge on Teslas chargers.
  14. Tow Mirrors options recommendations?

    I couldn’t agree more. I ended up getting a rear view camera and using my iPad as a display, none of the tow mirrors I tried allowed me to get comfortable with them. I will have to say, the truck is great at towing but the aftermarket support is severely lacking. My Lightning is a breeze with...
  15. What do you use your R1T bed for? (Picture Edition)

    It will, I carried a ping pong table home the same way.

  17. Diminished real range 14 months in

    Conserve mode, low suspension, and in relative cold (30-40F) It was a while ago now so I don’t recall how much I had left. I also sold the truck, I think on one trip I projected out to nearly 340 miles of range..quite insane. Comparatively my Lightning on the same trips have maxed out around 280...
  18. Addictive smelling wiper fluid mystery SOLVED! = Genuine Chemistry All Season Windshield Washer Fluid

    Merriam Webster of "Undead": "not dead : returned from or as if from death" Therefore we can concluded that methanol can cause permanent death, but vampirism causes temporary death - or no death at all as you're simply not dead. But if you are killed as a vampire, it would be permanent death...
