I’d been eyeing the Lolo Racks for a while but don’t need that much capacity. But they have a really sleek mounting system that can bolt directly to a swing out to it keeps things way tighter to the back of the vehicle. Not cheap though. https://loloracks.com/collections/all
The fix here is pretty straightforward: Enable blended braking to maintain a constant rate of perceived "engine braking" regardless of the state of regen.
I don't personally like it (and it has efficiency downsides because any time you're applying mechanical brakes, you're theoretically wasting...
I mean, we are. And so are other large vehicle owners. We can argue about the tradeoffs and individual liberties, but the statistics are clear. We're more likely to kill pedestrians and other motorists than lighter trucks and vehicles with lower hoods.
I think on the merits, Rivians are safer...
The manual option is available (though presently out of stock): Manual Tonneau Cover - Gear Shop - Rivian
The powered option is allegedly coming back any minute now (and will be available as a retrofit); I'd expect at least Spring before it's available to order, though.
Both are "weather...
Yeah, Driver+ is definitely not perfect, and certainly requires full attention - but it's nice to be able to relax a little and spend less mental energy on lane centering and speed management. For my part I actually find it *less* stressful than FSD in my Tesla in a lot of circumstances, because...
Well, this very much depends on the skis ?
My wife and most of my friends can fit their skis in the bed just fine (diagonally in some cases). My 188 powder skis are just a hair too long to fit diagonally, mostly due to rocker.
Yes, unfortunately. They're commodity parts and the issue is compounded by the fact that what you see on screen in most cases is actually a cropped view of a wider angle lens (sort of like digital zoom).
I'd love to see Rivian upgrade this in a refresh, even better if they added a spray washer...
Yeah, I think there's a lot of hair pulling here over a pretty simple answer:
Just buy the vehicle you want (size/features/price/range) and, most importantly, put serious snow tires on it if you plan to drive it in serious winter conditions. No, the 20s are not serious snow tires. They'll do...
I think this is true to some extent - but the counterargument is that giving customers information they can't usefully interpret is just adding noise with no signal. It invites misinterpretation. I agree the presentation (with "hazard orange" colors on something in normal operating parameters)...
Yeah, I get the perspective, but unfortunately I haven't had the same luck - my 188s barely fit (with some noticeable compression), but don't fit if they're paired together, and especially not since I added the BuiltRight panel at the front of the bed, which took about an inch off the bed...
I'm going beg all of you to please not let this thread be a CarPlay versus RJ debate thread. There are a thousand of those and we all know it's deeply divisive (and exactly zero minds have been changed by the debate). I promise whatever point you have to make on either side is not new.
There's...
For what it's worth, it looks a lot less silly to just put even the biggest skis in a rack over the bed., and you won't be begging for a ticket for want of a flag like this setup. My fat 188cm powder skis just barely stick past the tailgate even with a couple inches of margin at the rear window...
Damn, this is a great update.
I know others have long wishlists... honestly at this point I just want them to fix Rear Accessory Mode so I can get Driver+ features when I have my bike rack on, and they can stick a fork in it.
The price is Yeti-scale but these are definitely great blankets. I keep one in the truck for wet dogs, collecting deadfall for firewood, protecting delicate cargo in the bed (or protecting the bed from pointy cargo), etc. and it has held up for years.
(Also good for protecting furniture from...
I wouldn't count on it. If they're delivering ten, it's going to be to hand-picked sycophants who have probably signed NDAs. I wouldn't be surprised if there are no serious reviews or price details for a while yet. (Get ready for some empty-calorie "walkthroughs" and "impressions" from...
