  1. Alpha Motor Superrex = R1S competitor?

    I just got their latest "newsletter". I thought I'd throw it up here to support the assertion that Alpha Motors is a scam:
  2. EV Rooftop Solar Charger by GoSun

    There might be cheaper alternatives. We don't get much hail here, but the one time we did, I threw one of these over the Hyundai (Nessie lives in the garage).
  3. Made a four-tire air-down/air-up kit for the Rivian

    I built mine and it works! I set it up a little differently and included a pressure gauge. Basically, I used the T-connectors that you linked (which came in a 5-pack) for the split coming off the main branch and to the rear tires. Then I used the threaded T-connector at the male plug end (that...
  4. New Software, New Bugs

    Anyone have an issue where the system seems to crash and reboot while driving? I was just out doing an errand and it crashed three times in short succession. Big screen went black and the driver's display went white except for speed, gear indicator, turn signals, and lights... It still drove, but...
  5. Cybertruck Laugh of the Day [⚠️ WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS BANNED]

    I assumed they were from how the metal is worked or fingerprints, but, as a parent I've learned some assumptions can make laundry day an unwelcome adventure.
  6. Cybertruck Laugh of the Day [⚠️ WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS BANNED]

    @COdogman , I humbly request to ask a serious question on this thread: What are the marks I see on a bunch of them around the forward and rear edges of the doors (and arguably on the rear quarter panel)? It looks like a toddler's dirty underwear. Sorry, I said "serious"; please strike that...
  7. I cannot understand Rivian navigation.

    To the RivCave! I think it is a time of day/traffic thing in the algorithm.
  8. I cannot understand Rivian navigation.

    Page 195 in the owner's guide (at least R1S). I'm too lazy to go to the garage right now. Edit: If you can't find the button, I can make the arduous trek to the car and take a pic of the screen.
  9. I cannot understand Rivian navigation.

    I don't know if it's because I'm checking at 8:46 AM, but it is definitely trying to avoid 66 right now. I'm not sure of the underlying algorithm, but I'm sure it's had me go to 66 before. Perhaps something with how it's handling the HOV restrictions? If I know the GW Parkway is not the way to...
  10. Made a four-tire air-down/air-up kit for the Rivian

    Whew, I thought I was going crazy or that I forgot how a simple chuck works!. I saw that you had some different ones in your video. I found these that seem to fit what you're describing. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D13V72Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2NOFZGOKNP3PJ&th=1 Sound right...
  11. Made a four-tire air-down/air-up kit for the Rivian

    I too am lazy, this looks great. Just a question, if you'd indulge me: do you start losing pressure in the time it takes you to put the chucks on the four tires? I know you said plug it into the truck first or you'd lose pressure, but once you start plugging in the tires, do the remaining...
  12. Corner of Frunk Hitting When Opening/Closing

    I had this issue as part of some other hood misalignment. Mobile service tech fixed it in my garage. It was an easy job for me, but I can't speak as to how hard it was for him. As for paint chipping, I had an occasional door impingement issue that they had to fix at the service center. It had...
  13. New Software, New Bugs

    I've had proximity locking off at home acting up as well. I cleared and re-established my "home" location, but it's still doing it. I've also had some weirdness with navigation where it kinda bugs out and reverts to the music screen if I switch to it and do anything else (tap something) too...
  14. Local Meineke (MeinekEV) advertising Rivian Repairs

    My local Hyundai dealer keeps mailing me discount coupons to change the oil on my Ioniq 5. I spent a summer as a General Service Automotive Technician (read: Grease Monkey) in HS... that experience makes me very hesitant to bring my Rivian in to a local shop for tire changes or anything...
  15. Gen2 Rivian Vehicles Wireless Charger Available For Pre-Order (by S00nish)

    Gotta cater to the idiots! J/k, hope it's helpful.
  16. Gen2 Rivian Vehicles Wireless Charger Available For Pre-Order (by S00nish)

    I just want to second what @agame32 said; I read the post and also asked myself whether this would be for R1 Gen2 vehicles or a second generation of the charging pad. I put the context clues together when the post said it kept the NFC functionality. Just some friendly feedback/input to take as...
  17. R1S ownership blues... "aren't you afaid of all the ELF radiation?"

    All the time spent sitting next to IED jammers on vehicles in Iraq, sucking exhaust fumes from Bradleys, and just generally living in filth... If the Rivian is what kills me, then I've lived well.
  18. Whoops, that escalated quickly. Tonneau cover ate tape measure.

    Can I ask you to measure those scars... you can just use that tape measure...
