  1. Motor Failure on Cross-Country Road Trip

    We were enjoying our Illinois to West Coast road trip in our R1S Quad up until yesterday in Montana when we heard a loud thumping coming from the rear end. I believe we have a rear drive failure.

  6. Chicago to Vancouver - Use Rivian or ABRP?

    It gets even more interesting as I continue to study the maps. I-90 is a dead-zone for Rivian charging on the Tesla network. Nothing from east of Sioux Falls all the way to Billings. However, I-90 is a must if charging the Rivian on only CCS chargers.

It sounded like an internal hose (beneath the trunk compartment) blew off. After this the compressor now sounds different (like there...
