  1. Steering wheel shake intermittent

    Same issue but it was worse at first with my new Michelin 22" Defender LTX M/S2 when I replaced my OE Pirelli 22" scorpion AS's. Would hit right about 77mph. I brought it back for a re-balance yesterday, and this morning didn't detect the increased vibrations I had when I first had them...
  2. Diving Into Gen2 Standard Audio to Add a Subwoofer

    Wouldn't it be nice if the OEM had an electrical diagram or workshop manual available so people could work on the cars without having to reverse engineer them first?
  3. What do you think it is? Rivian news tomorrow!

    Why not in Ohio, out of curiosity? Is there a weird state law around non-dealer auto manufacturers or something like that?
  4. (Buyer Beware) Don't Buy Your Rivian (Massive Day 1 Depreciation) - You're better off Leasing If You Can

    This thread makes me nostalgic a bit. I remember when I first got mine, somewhat early in the R1S roll out, they were rare enough on the mean streets that I could have flipped it for a bit more than I paid. Earlier still in the roll out, people were flipping R1S's for substantially more than...
  5. Diving Into Gen2 Standard Audio to Add a Subwoofer

    Don't know if this is helpful to you, but here's a bunch of threads I was tracking when considering my hardware upgrade (which never happened): Rivian R1 Sound System Upgrade - Social Media Posts https://s00n.rivianstories.com/posts/stock-subwoofer-upgrade...
  6. How to Improve a Gen 1 Rivian R1S’s Elevation Sound System After Update 2024.27.01 With Simple EQ Changes

    Not an expert on Apple Music at all, and no idea if this has an effect on Rivian reception, but I went into my Apple iphone: Settings > Music > Audio Quality (under Audio) > Lossless Audio I will say it is just as crisp and punchy to my ear as Tidal max (except when Atmos is involved).

  8. (Buyer Beware) Don't Buy Your Rivian (Massive Day 1 Depreciation) - You're better off Leasing If You Can

    There's also the fact that many on this forum benefited from the early reservation holders price maintenance decision that Rivian made after they raised prices. All told, after my $7500 tax benefit, I think I paid around $78k for mine, so the depreciation hit isn't going to be quite as painful...
  9. (Buyer Beware) Don't Buy Your Rivian (Massive Day 1 Depreciation) - You're better off Leasing If You Can

    That sucks. I guess the cult wine analog would be getting one only to find it's corked! Seriously sorry to hear you have had so much trouble and surprised to hear they can't resolve your problems. Mine has been terrific thus far (knock on wood).
  10. Ten years ago, if anyone had told me that I’d own a pickup that could smoke any motorcycle off the line...

    I rented a car in Florida a few months back and they only had a Dodge Charger with a hemi. That thing made so much glorious engine noise, I couldn't wait to see how it did off the line. So I floored it, it roared like an unmuzzled P-38, and .... blah hardly felt like it was moving. Painfully...
  11. How to Improve a Gen 1 Rivian R1S’s Elevation Sound System After Update 2024.27.01 With Simple EQ Changes

    You can start a whole cottage industry just adapting your setting recommendations for the numerous new permutations of vehicle models, generations, and sound systems.
  12. (Buyer Beware) Don't Buy Your Rivian (Massive Day 1 Depreciation) - You're better off Leasing If You Can

    I mean, buying a car off the virtual lot that you think you might want to flip immediately doesn't make a lot of sense unless the car happens actually to be a restricted mailing list cult wine.
  13. Should Rivian allow customers with non-Rivian vehicles to charge before opening RAN to everyone?

    I've never been anywhere near a RAN charger when needing a fast charger, but I look forward to the opportunity some day.
  14. New 21" tire option - Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 275/55-21 @ $380

    Question: Would wheel balance have a material effect on efficiency? My numbers are not looking so great thus far (22s), but it's only been about 60 miles so could be wrong. Nonetheless, I'm also getting some slight steering wheel vibrations/shake at 75-85 mph on the brand new skins, and plan...
  15. How to Improve a Gen 1 Rivian R1S’s Elevation Sound System After Update 2024.27.01 With Simple EQ Changes

    You've produced another extremely clear and compelling read. I'm far from an engineer of anything, let alone audio systems, and I read every word. I'll be playing with these new settings in the garage all night. :cool:
  16. New 21" tire option - Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 275/55-21 @ $380

    Not sure yet. I've been out of town and only driven a few miles on them so far. Efficiency seems to be unchanged, but the sample size is pretty minimal. I will watch this and get back with more info later.
  17. 3,000 mile road trip from Austin, TX to Frisco, CO - Good/Bad/Ugly

    Great report. I've been itching to try the trip from Austin to Park City, Utah, so this is a great primer!
