Among other advantages to driving a Rivian in Austin...you won't go out to get in the car in the morning to find that your catalytic converter has been stolen.

From the standpoint of the user, it's about replacing one (avoided) cost with another. The entire gas tax is the avoided cost. Whatever is being substituted for it by Texas is the new cost. Some of that avoided cost is lost to the state directly, and even more is lost to the state in the form of...

In Texas...if you are charging at a residence...you aren't paying sales tax on your electricity. If you charge at your place of business, then you pay sales tax. To be realistic, if you're charging at work, either someone else is paying for your electricity or you are "writing it off" as part of...

The federal tax is not irrelevant since vehicles that don't pay gasoline tax don't pay it to the feds either. "Most" of that is kicked back to the states. You're mistaken about the fee. The "$400 initial fee" you describe only applies to vehicles that, when purchased new from a dealer, get an...

I agree, but insofar as "most pickup buyers ...never add any type of tonneau cover"...this is true, but for a different reason. The ones the have 3 or 4 panels that flip over are a mess. Rivian's manual cover that occupies (too much) space in the gear tunnel does not appeal. The one piece...

Bandera Electric Co-op has a DCFC (50kw) on Hwy 27 & 8th St (about a mile off of I-10 using either Hwy 27 or Hwy 87 exits. I used it once before getting my Level 2 installed at my house (2 blocks away). The thing about the RAN locations where Texas is concerned...there is almost NO public land...

Toggle the driver's screen using the button to the left of the left side scroll wheel...it switches between efficiency, tire pressure, and map

Ever seen two or more people standing beside a car swinging the doors back and forth from wide open to almost closed? This works as well to fan the superheated air out of the cabin. The problem in South Texas is that you need to put your gloves on in order to leave your hand on the door handle...

The dash reading is not the cabin temp. Like most vehicles, it's an ambient air temp taken from who-knows-where? In winter, I've seen it read 17 degrees when I was toasty warm in the cabin.

My only fear of this is some well-meaning busybody walking past, seeing the screen (and no pet) and assuming that a dog or cat or gerbil is dead or dying on the floor under the seat...then breaking a window. I'm considering "draping" something over the screen for times when I use pet mode with...

I'm in South Texas. We've been having temps of 105 and I have regularly seen cabin temps of 120 after being parked in the sun. (My personal record was 130). I now have the reflective bubble pack shades on every window and a roof shade (combined with previously applied near-black tint)...

Towing anything taller or wider than the tow vehicle puts a good hit on the mileage of about anything you're gonna tow with. I pulled a 6x12 V-nose trailer from Boerne, TX to Lexington VA and back. Full one way and empty the other (1000# empty trailer weight). Got 9 mpg both ways...1,450 miles...

Here ya' go...

You can use this...or get really creative and learn to tie a knot that won't slip in a short length of soft rope...

Both of those hitch steps/skid plates are great...but you really need a locking hitch pin to keep them from "growing legs" (I have "lost" straight-up receiver/ball inserts in the past). The standard locking dog bone won't fit, since the sidewalls of the Rivian receiver are thicker than...

My response related to the R1T tailgate question. An open liftgate is an entirely different animal. You're never likely to need the camera view of the open tailgate unless you're in reverse (in the R1T). As for "no audio warning when a door is open", unless that has been deleted on the R1S or...

If you look at the screen display, it shows the open tailgate. If you look at the camera screen when you put it in reverse, it is obvious on the overhead view and cannot be missed when looking at the screen showing the rearview camera. Who wants some nagging ding-dong or voice telling them...

Great step up, bro...but here's a thought: If the tire pressure drops enough to be considered "flat" (on the readout) without incurring a blowout...give some thought to pulling over, airing it up with your handy onboard compressor kit, and creeping along to the next driveway or paved spot. Even...

Question here: Is there more heat from an SD card on a USB-A than from a USB-C? Other than the fact that you might already have the USB-A reader, why go from C to A? (the same 90 degree adapter is available in C to C). Is that magnetic attachment sufficient to stay connected in an impact...
