Tangential to this post but...didn't Tesla have to tell users to stop using a wet towel to keep their charge plugs cool? Maybe it's not actually the adapter?

"Hey Grok; take a Tundra and make is uglier." Incremental change. Both still ugly.

Camping near Mt. St. Helens. Trailer stays until it needs a tune, so hauled it down to Vancouver (WA).

Ha. Still have a job. In meetings until 4p! Never quite got that school bus arranged to bring my 500 little friends. Too bad.

Unfortunately, this is nothing new, which is my bigger concern. It would be one thing if the SC woes arose with the increased number of vehicles on the road. Instead, the problem has existed from the beginning. I think there are a few causes: QC at Factory is abysmal which pushes a long list of...

Welp, our weekend got outta hand and I didn't make it. Anyone notice anything they were surprised by in the R2? Any disappointments? What's the closest analog vehicle in size? Forester?

Confirmed address 8/30 Got a tracking number for shipment Saturday, expected arrival Weds 9/18. Original delivery Feb 28, 2023 (but queued with the Dec '22 trucks)

Back in the 90s when I drove my Toyota pickup with a FlipPac down the baja - you know, when we just called it CAR CAMPING instead of needing a cool name like "overlanding" - I still didn't do much more than 60 miles on the rough road. Otherwise it was outpost to outpost. I did need my gas can...

Wait'll OP experiences their service system. CRM remains Rivian's biggest obstacle to success. They do fine at attracting customers, then they do all they can to piss them off once on board...

We have the seat cover and 'seat extenders' from Orvis. Old Man Charlie loves it. Since we have added a human baby to the mix, we just roll over some of the cover to make room for the car seat, Prince Charles still gets the other 2/3rds of the seat.

@LivingInKaos Ha. Maybe I can bring my whole elementary school! Got any Rivian school buses yet?

With apologies to management consultants everywhere; "When everyone is a priority, no one is a priority." Let's see what happens when the trial ends and half (? - any idea how many people aren't likely to cough up $150 a year?) drop off...

Apparently only retirees are adventurous? Why is the owner's event mid-day on a Friday? Or is it just that we are a flyover stop for the staff on their way to Seattle or SF? Anyway, I'll probably head out over the weekend; I'd like to see the R2 in person since we put in a day 1 pre-order like...

After a few months wait (early April), I got the email that I should receive mine within 60 days (by providing my delivery address.) For reference, I was a March '23 delivery.

Is there a difference - besides branding - in an EV tire versus a similar weight-rated tire? Mainly curious about wear?

My exact thought. Great news and great job RJ and friends. Maybe VW can share some of their service excellence our way too...

Did you change the oil when you got home? Did it tip you over into the $1000 30k service at the dealership?

The new EA at Freddy's near my house in N Portland is the same way - all 350 stations. And yesterday, a MachE, EV6 and EV9 were all pissed at the blue R1S camped out at 100% for all the 15 minutes I was there at the EA in Longview. Not everyone is as considerate or intelligent as we are, I...

That's cause you have to turn it on! ;)

Y'all. OP has a feature request. I like my Camp Speaker, some people like Mustard Yellow. Everyone walks their own path. It's a terrible idea for the planet (unless you're only talking about an hour of keeping cool, it'll use way more energy to stay at 80F than heat up and cool down at the end...
