Does the charging not work because the screen failed? I honestly don't even know why they have a screen, it's completely useless.

That was me. Unless you cut a hole in the side of the tray it will sound extremely bad even if the box fits. Apparently the seats seal too well and there's nowhere for the air to go.

I was also confused. We call them (plates / registration) "tags" here.

Personally I’d expect at least a phone call or text message within 24 hours, even to tell me it will be a month.

My vin is 16xxx but I took delivery 15 months ago. I’m hopeful that I’ll get mine pretty quickly.

Based on what? The email literally says “Adapters will be prioritized based on owners’ delivery dates—oldest to newest.”

The cost per vehicle metric is not actually per vehicle in terms of manufacturing. Rivian is not spending $130k to build a single vehicle which they then sell for $90k.

Mine does the same. Maybe turn traction fully off? I get quite a bit more wheel spin punching it at 20mph in sport mode with traction fully off, so it probably has a little more power.

There’s really no reason for Rivian to refresh the R1 with the R2 taking up most of their focus.

You’re absolutely right, the front passenger side is objectively the best choice here. Teslas location isn’t good because you’d have to park illegally to parallel park and charge.

It’s also strange you can’t put the suspension in ‘moderate’ in sport mode. Firm or soft, no in between.

EV tires are a real thing, it’s not just marketing. Whether or not those real things are important to you are another story (sound insulation, lower rolling resistance, etc).

Just rotate and it won’t be an issue. Also, try to avoid heavier braking on conserve mode - typically if I’m using it on the highway and see a slowdown ahead I will switch to AP mode for the more balanced regenerative braking

I’m very happy with my choice of Compass Yellow on my R1T and very happy to see it return on the R2.

IMO it’s 100% not worth the risk to use anything except for the OEM adapter. Sure it probably functions the same and it’s probably safe, but if something does go wrong you’re going to be on the hook for a $70k vehicle with no assistance.

Really? The video posted by OP is significantly louder than my quad. There’s no chance I could even get motor noise to pick up if I recorded a video.

"Paid" might not be the right word. I'm fairly certain Tesla is receiving $5-7 billion in subsidies for opening the network (to expand, retrofit, etc)

IMO it’s too early for a refresh. I hope this is retooling to prepare for the R2 while supply is outweighing demand in the R1 space. There’s no reason to continue with custom orders when there is shop inventory available

Having a manual tonneau quad myself, I would definitely recommend getting the auto cover instead. The manual isn’t bad at all (LOVE how it looks) but it takes 5 minutes to get the bag out, uninstall it, zip the bag up, take everything out of the gear tunnel, then put the bag in. I would do this...

I averaged ~2.38mi/kWh with 21s over the course of 1 full year, according to the trip meter. I've done zero road trips with the new Michelin's but I'm driving to Atlanta (~170 miles) for a concert in 3 weeks so I'll hopefully see over 2.4mi/kWh.
