Glad you posted it here as well as Reddit! You gotta powder coat those handles in Rivian yellow/gold; don’t know why he hasn’t done that for this product but I think it would add just the right level of extra. Yours might wind up being my exact build, once I decide whether or not to go with a...

Throttle House posted their review of the R1S: Of note, they went into detail on the suspension’s handling at ~3min. mark; I keep hearing of owners who throw their ride into stiff mode (instead of comfort). Really can’t wait for a first-ride to actually experience this in person.

Ha, great title! Reviews showed 12hr runtime on a full load for a house to empty the tank (~6gal.); was that kind of pace about what you were seeing using the generator?

It’s at 19:21; I updated the YouTube link in the OG post to link directly to that time stamp.

*Raises hand*

Rivian Stories just dropped their YT video of their friendly interview with Tony & Mason, I posted a summary here (confirmed, no lockers or 800V): https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/no-800v-architecture-for-max-pack-rivian-stories-confirms.11497/

Rivian Stories dropped their YT video of their conversation with Tony, highlights: Covers the new options for us Max Pack holdouts, die-hards, crazies, fanatics Dual Motor architecture overview with Mason (the engineer from their Instagram post) TBD on the “commerce” of buying/upgrading to the...

Thanks for your write-up, very thorough (and useful to me, will be using this thing to go up to Tahoe, Mammoth, & the high-country, so I feel the same range anxiety)! Can I ask, on the ride quality, have you noticed any of the porpoising some have reported with the R1S? I had been holding out...

I’m guessing this is 100% correct, & once that news drops I’m likely to switch to an R1S large pack. It’s unfortunate for those of us planning for future long road trips, off-road adventures far from a fast-charger, & use of the onboard battery during car camping: that extra capacity would have...

I wonder if this portends badly for its performance on side-impact tests, do we think these curtain airbags might be too small? I wonder if those later tests might be harsh on the Rivians’ ratings.

This has me considering going with the stock 21 rims & pirellis for daily driving & buying a set of the Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV studded tires for winter trips to the mountains.

Ha! Yep, they can sort out the fastenings with the clips, but my point was that if we’re now seeing reports that the fasteners aren’t fully engaged on numerous Rivians on this key part, then either they haven’t heard of continuous improvement or DFMA (lolz), or they failed to account for the...

Glad it was helpful to you. Rivian should add this check to standard trouble-shooting for any vampire drain, though it also looks like the latest OTA update might mitigate or eliminate this problem if it addresses sleep interruptions.

To me this example (if true, we don’t know that this assembly change is causing issues) would be emblematic of consulting failures: sometimes an external stakeholder with an incomplete picture recommends a change that is actually more disruptive to efficiency (i.e. cutting costs lowers morale on...

Anyone see the Reddit post on this? Sounds like a Rivian software engineer (who posts on r/Rivian on Reddit) helped determine the root cause of phantom drain for at least one person & he posted about it on Reddit: faulty sensors for the frunk lid that kept waking up the Rivian & preventing deep...

I hear you, but I also wonder if it’s a non-trivial dev effort to ensure the car routes, via their servers, to the owner’s phones, accurately (not like, say, tediously excessive unnecessary notifications that a door or latch isn’t engaged) any incompletely closed or latched thresholds, but...

Fascinating post & story from a reddit user, it seems that the trunk latch failing to fully engage prevented his Rivian from going to sleep fully. Wonder if phantom drain could be traced to incomplete closures and/or sensor glitches on other thresholds like a door, the gear tunnel, and/or the...

This is awesome! Did you wrap the fog-lights casing on the outside with a yellow-wrap? I plan to take my Rivian out into the snows often - so I'm super disappointed in the white-light LED fog lights. Although, I'd prefer to keep the white headlight facade for the front grille of the Rivian, so...

Couldn’t you just use an adapter more easily then a complete charge port swap (which, yes, is far more involved than the plug swap)?

All stocks are down during the holidays, plus the street is full of morons, they’re not interested in long-term bets or cars that are made well, just short-term quarterly returns.
