  1. Found an entire parking lot full of Kandi K32 Pickups

    Probably the software on these things is horrible at best...
  2. Camp Speaker Curiosity Teardown ?

    As everything on the R1 platform this is waaay over-engineered. I agree they could recoup all the lost 30 grand per vehicle by not including this speaker as standard :D And the saddest part that probably 90% of user base does not uses it...
  3. Order cancelled 13 days out

    Misleading title :( ORDER was not cancelled. Your DELIVERY was cancelled (for a specific VIN). You will get an other new R1 delivered.
  4. Is this the R2 spotted in the wild?

    Interesting that the car has a homogenic color until C pillar then suddenly completely different? :oops:
  5. Grabbed a R1S Dual/Standard - Delivery Timing?

    I had a similar experience. The config I have ordered from the R1T shop was en-route to my SC when I ordered it (did not know at that time, learned later from SC). I got a text from SC 2 days later that my truck is at the SC and they will start prepping. My guide had zero clue about it at this...
  6. Shop Lead Time Estimates vs Reality

    I think it was more like a proximity to an SC ;) As it turned out one vehicle with the same configuration as I ordered was already en-route to the SC from the plant on the day I have ordered it from the shop. Probably a simpler config means a better chance for a quicker turn around (or at least...
  7. Shop Lead Time Estimates vs Reality

    I have ordered on Oct 21 (late Saturday) and picked up on Oct 30. I had a trade-in and also financed still I got my truck in 1 week and 2 days.
  8. 7 Automakers Join to Create "Ionna" a Massive New U.S. EV Charging Network

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilbert_principle ;) ps. I know in this case it is not intra-company but inter-company, still I could not help myself to think of the above principle.
  9. Standard and Standard+ battery packs introduced; R1T and R1S base prices dropped (2/8/24)

    (I traded my '23 MY for a '23 R1T) Did you consider that on R1 you have a very high step to get into the cabin compared to a MY which is super easy to get in/out heightwise? If your body is aging I would definitely make a test drive with an R1 before pulling the trigger to avoid a possible...
  10. Parking brake tried to engage while driving

    There is a legal requirement about the maximum deceleration that shall not be exceeded with park brake while the vehicle is moving (maybe about 0.3G?) due to the instability it would cause to lock up the rear axle. (One of my job back in the old days was to implement this feature for electric...
  11. Rivian R2 reveal date (March 7) officially announced!

    I think it had more to do with repair costs than maintenance cost (for corpo's pov it can be washed together) Rental cars get dinged/bumped more frequently (less user care) and on that front EV repair costs are more expensive than for the ICE vehicles. So much more that it does not...
  12. Manual Tonneau Cover from Interrobang - my review

    As others said this cover uses the bed's already built-in rails. The only issue you might run into that older productions the channel's end was closed (as PTC was the norm those days even if they stopped shipping for a while Rivian thought they can remedy it quickly...) so the plastic...
  13. Manual Tonneau Cover from Interrobang - my review

    The cover's website has an explanation video at the end, just scroll down enough ;) https://interrobang.store/products/tonneau-tableau-deposit
  14. How inconvenient is the manual tonneau cover (Rivian, Interrobang, etc.)?

    How about a soft (rollup) tonneau cover? I know it has its drawbacks but would not fit your use case much better? Probably others will tell you that if you have pre-hike price get the T as early as you can. This way you can enjoy it for a longer time hence have a better quality of life for...
  15. Best $ per smile upgrade... Yellow Car Tire Valve Stem Caps

    Wrench will not work. You will only turn the whole valve stem with the cap fused to it. I have tried on all 4 wheels. One wrench to the stem base one on the cap. Won't budge. You must cut them off and get new valves.
  16. Best $ per smile upgrade... Yellow Car Tire Valve Stem Caps

    This 100%! If it is cheap aluminum like most of them on Amazon and your roads are salted in winter then these caps will literally fuse to the valve stems and you must cut them off. I had them on my wife's car and it was a painful lesson learned for life. Plastic caps ftw :)
  17. Rivian 500hz Horn Upgrade -- Installed Pics & Video Sound Clip

    Super helpful explanation with awesome photos! Much appreciated! :clap::clap::clap: (it's like an aerospace engineer's work :D)
  18. Show us your Rivian vanity plates!

    A fellow Michigander from the same month :)
