  1. Tested: Preconditioning actually helps (duh) in cold weather driving!

    IMO pre conditioning the battery is more about getting the most range when setting off. I don't know if I'd bother on short trips.. but maybe I'm wrong.
  2. Cybertruck Highway Range Test by Out Of Spec

    Hmm.. then the DM must really be a lot more efficient, because in those temps I barely got over 2 miles per kwh in my quad, even on longer trips.
  3. Cybertruck Highway Range Test by Out Of Spec

    Considering the temps, I'm not sure the R1T would have faired much better (Dual motor 20" AT). The big issue is the hype around it. Every cybertruck forum stating this thing is going to be MILES AHEAD in efficiency. Although it's hard to tell tesla fanboys from bots these days.
  4. Software Update 2023.50 -- Scheduled battery preconditioning & other useful improvements!

    What blows my mind about these requests... we are witnessing a HUGE update to actual vehicle livability and functionality but somehow streaming videos is the more important. I genuinely don't understand. Not to mention they probably already have this feature complete but are waiting on people...
  5. Ebay crossbars?

    I'm not interested unless it mounts directly to the existing mounting points. The truth is, many dealer accessories are made 2 streets away from each other in China, and are then marked up appropriately. What you pay for is fitment. If they used the correct mounting points it MIGHT be worth it...
  6. Ebay crossbars?

    Yeah, that's probably the catch. I might just be the guinea pig and see.
  7. Ebay crossbars?

    Has anyone rolled the dice on cheap amazon crossbars designed for the R1 such as...
  8. Lucid Gravity Reveal

    Honestly, I really like it. The interior looks GREAT imo. If they can pull off 300+ miles of range at the 80k benchmark... man.. it's going to be a hit.
  9. 7 months later and a 50k repair bill, I have my R1T back!

    As with OP, I'm on month 7 of my repair. I keep checking the app weekly and when it gets low I give them a message to put it on a charger before it gets to 0%. Vampire drain is huge since they leave the car unlocked and a lot of the telemetry stuff stays on so it loses like 1-3% a day. Unlike...
  10. Study on EV battery lifespan yields 'shocking' (positive) results

    You can get a quote now, but when it's time to change in ~15 years who knows what the price will be. I'm guessing quite a bit lower.
  11. Camp speaker drawer replacement by TWRAPS (preview)

    You can charge the camp speaker via USBC.
  12. Use WD-40 on tonneau cover tracks ?

    Don't use typical WD-40... get the silicone lubricant. Several brands out there. https://www.grainger.com/product/19L521?gucid=N:N:PS:Paid:GGL:CSM-2295:4P7A1P:20501231&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8NilBhDOARIsAHzpbLBcES4vtn38WBlphZEhgFvKFbd0qT7tme7HBPcDH0pBaNmZhwBuw3IaAhzxEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
  13. R1T Truck Bed tent?

    I really don't want to spend ~3-4k on a roof top tent that would be difficult to install by myself and I'd only use a few times a year. Has anyone tried a bed tent like this...
  14. I've given up

    You will probably get access to the R1 shop before then. I'd get another vehicle if you have to and stick it out unless you're dead set on your exact config.
  15. [Vote in poll] Turned off LKA (lane keep assist) today, and you should too!

    The guide who showed me the car on delivery turned it off for me as soon as we went through the screens... that lets you know just how annoying it is.
  16. Upcoming Competition: 2024 Tacoma Pickup Design Leaked ?

    I think it looks great. Hopefully it doesn't get any bigger.. the tacoma is already a good size. The Tacoma EV is less exciting. They'll absolutely half ass it like they did the BZ4X.
  17. Rivian R1T vs Tesla Model S white interior cleanup after 5k miles

    A month in and my OC still looks new. If people can't do a simple 5 minute wipe and clean after 30k miles they need a bidet.
  18. For those who got R1S (or R1T) at original approximately $78k would you buy one for new price of approximately $93k?

    Rivian should have started with dual motor out of the gate, because people now expect an 835hp truck. There's really no need. Dual motor would have been more than enough for most people, and at that price point I think it's worth it.
  19. R1S Review: "The Tesla Bronco Defender" -- Throttle House

    Really love throttle house. I thought the review was fair. I'm more of an SUV guy and the R1S would have likely been a better fit for the family, but they're right that the R1T simply revolutionized pickups. The gear tunnel is awesome and I really makes me not miss the cargo space having a large...
  20. Conserve Mode should only be selected while the vehicle is stopped? (says Rivian Service Center technicians)

    Yet another piece of anecdotal advice, but I mentioned this to the service tech in ATL and he mentioned it was fine doing it at speed. Just to be careful I've only done it entering a freeway.
