Typically R3 is not used between Sacramento and Tahoe. Essentially every time it snows, R2 chain control will be activated. When the roadway is cleared and the snow stops, chain control restrictions will be removed. If the snow is bad enough to warrant R3 chain controls, the road will be closed...

Well, as expected this service is going to be a real headache. Dropped off my vehicle this morning, and was told they may not be able to even look at the vehicle for three weeks. It will remain parked in the service center parking lot for weeks and probably overlap with my next upcoming service...

Again, prohibitively expensive for someone who may experience snow a handful of times each year. Swapping out tires on a brand new vehicle is a wild suggestion. Just get traction devices and use them whenever they're required.

I get that you live in Colorado, but surely you must see how this is a ridiculous suggestion for someone who lives in the Bay Area and has to drive over 200 miles to the snowy destination for which they'd use those winter tires. It's about 150 miles of 70 degree interstate driving before 50...

I believe your OEM tires are Pirelli Scorpion MS All-Seasons, which would mean they are M+S rated: If you have these tires, then you will not be required to chain up on I80 or US50 unless they activate R3 chain control. I don't recall the last time they ever did that, however; they always...

Do your tires have the M+S or 3 peak rating on them? If not, then you will have to chain up whenever chain control is active. Having an R1S does not fundamentally change anything about chain control and using traction devices.

It's also just a weird system that tries to be much too smart. I would much prefer a button somewhere on the energy screen that would start preconditioning manually, even if it requires a big "This functionality will waste lots of charge if you do not actually need it; only use this...

This is true regardless of which fast charger you select in the nav. It does not have to be one recommended along your route. It can be confusing when *manually entering the address of a charger* because the nav will NOT recognize that. If you just want to drive right to a charger and enable...

That's not the case on all models, as the rest of my post made clear.

The trickiest part is figuring out which side your horn install is on. I don't recall the exact year/config differences but I believe earlier builds had the horn on the driver's side, and even earlier builds had a dual horn install under the frunk bin. I'm not the expert on where the horn is...

I just so happen to know a guy who wrote an entire how-to on that exact subject: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/rivian-500hz-horn-upgrade-installed-pics-video-sound-clip.22096/page-3#post-472313

okay, that's a low blow

I do love these posts because OP almost never comes back to confirm the ambient or battery temperature when almost certainly they start every drive cold and end every drive warm and wonder where all those kilowatt hours went

Apparently I've already burnt through 1.5kWh and it's 10:30am ? my eco-friendly kilowatt burner

Please don't do this. What value does "keeping the thread alive" present?

Speaking from experience; you can absolutely guarantee your vehicle will be totaled if you're rear ended at low speed with one of these attached. You're attach a strong, hardened leverage point directly to your frame. Any contact with that hitch attachment will absolutely bend and compress your...

Not to be a party pooper but unless someone's already found a "Let me break the law" button in the Ride app, you can't play any video content while the vehicle is moving.

You're describing "rake". You do not want your vehicle to be 100% level front to rear. You would have significantly less control under braking and cornering if so. This would become an uncontrollable problem once the vehicle is loaded to GVWR as the rear would lose even more ride height. A...

It's the Gen 1.5 dispenser unit; you can tell by the height and the card reader on the side. I'm assuming it'll be open to everyone momentarily if it's not already.

In short, yes. The auto wipers will "reset" whenever you start the car if the sensors detect any sort of dirt or obstruction on the windshield. This is required because of how auto sensing wipers work; they activate when the receiving sensor detects less light being reflected back from the...
