  1. Rivian launches "ALSO" micromobility EV startup for e-bikes, scooters, other small electric vehicles

    This out this morning: Rivian (significant minority shareholder) launching "a new electric micromobility company that spun out of Rivian and aims to release a flagship product by 2026 that isn't a car, but will help city-dwellers get around in other ways. " I'm sure this will be a real...
  2. Texas Sold: SOLD 4X OEM Pirelli 275/65 R20 AT+ $900

    We've decided to sell the new 275/65 R20 Pirelli All-Terrain Plus tires that came on the Dune. We took this off after less than 100 miles. Will also throw in the new cover we bought when we thought we would keep them. These retail at Discount Tire for $439 each. Selling them for $900 for the...
  3. 70 mph Range Test - Tri / Max / Defenders / Conserve = 335 miles

    So I did the 70 mph range test on conserve this morning. I ran from 100% down to 2% and got 324 miles => 330 miles. Adding in the buffer the total range is ~335. Michelin Defender tires on the Dune 275/60/R20s Max Pack On Conserve mode Efficiency 2.43 mi / kwh Temps ranged 55 - 73 degrees...
  4. R1S Dune with Michelin Defender LTX M/2 Tires (275/60/R20)

    My wife was not loving the noise or ride on the Pirelli AT’s of her new Dune so we swapped out to Defender LTX M/S2. Went with the 275/60/R20s to bring wheel diameter down to 33” same as 22’s and gain some additional range. Planning to do a software wheel swap as soon as new software lands this...
  5. Is Alexa+ Coming to Rivian?

    Amazon is launching its new Alexa+ this month (see links) which promises to be a genuinely smart digital assistant that can remember you and follow you seamlessly across devices etc. Do we have any guidance on whether it is coming to the Rivian and whether it will be included in connect+ or will...
  6. R1S Tri Max AT Highway Range In Conserve?

    My wife is seriously looking at the R1S Dune to replace her current (pejorative term for the vehicle deleted) elon-mobile. Rivian says it has 351 range in conserve (i.e. the same as my G1 dual motor large R1T). Does anyone have any data they can share on how the vehicle with the AT package...
  7. First Big Test of SuperCharger Access Has Arrived

    The Thanksgiving weekend will be the first big test of the SC network being open to non-Teslas. In the best of times, stations are jammed during the holidays, but now there will be lots of folks taking up two stalls with RIvians and Fords and GMs etc. I have to take a 550 mile road trip on...
  8. CyberTruck No More Waitlist, Available for Immediate Delivery

    It is official... effective this evening, anyone can go onto the Tesla website and buy a (non-foundation series) CyberTruck with an estimated delivery of October - November. The 2 million reservations translated into fewer than 50,000 sales.
  9. Wireless Charging Pad $20 Solution That Worked

    I picked this up from Amazon on a recommendation from someone. It completely solved the problem and now wireless charging on my iPhone 15 works perfectly every time (both sides). It is not the most elegant solution and not sure if it will last, but it is (reasonably) inexpensive and it works...
  10. Texas Sold: 21" Wheels for sale $20 and $40

    I have two 21" wheels for sale. One has some rim rash (see photo) for $20 the other looks good ($40). I bought them from another forum member. Have not put tires on them. Available for pickup in Houston TX or you can pay shipping plus an exorbitant inconvenience fee (which you may propose) for...
  11. Cybertruck Waiting List = 16 Days

    Well, that is interesting. Out of curiosity I dropped a $250 deposit on the Cybertruck just over two weeks ago (I cancelled my previous CT reservation and bought an R1T). Today I got an invite to configure my foundation series for delivery in next few weeks. So apparently if you would like a CT...
  12. Resolved - Suspension Degradation 19.04 Update

    Original post: "The ride on my R1T (DM Large) is gone from great to awful with the 19.04 update. It is like it is stuck in firm. Every bump (even small freeway bumps!) are transmitted through the vehicle and on poorly paved roads it is as crappy a my much-hated old Silverado. Is anyone else...
  13. 2024 R1T back to IIHS Top Safety Pick+ (only pickup truck with TSP+ rating)

    based on revised small overlap test, 2024 R1T back to Top Safety Pick Plus https://www.teslarati.com/rivian-r1t-safety-iihs-pickup/ Scroll to bottom for updated test. https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/rivian/r1t-crew-cab-pickup/2024
  14. I Dub Thee REX

    I propose that "R3X" be pronounced "rex" (as in king, ruler, etc.) not "r-three-x" (which is lame 70s-era space movie lingo). The Rivian R3X is the bad-a$$ed undisputed king of the hot hatch world. It is a tri-motor super hatch deserving of the title REX. What say you Rivian enthusiasts?
  15. Ford Pulling Maverick and Broco EVs

    This looks like very excellent news for Rivian and the R2 platform. https://insideevs.com/news/710014/ford-maverick-bronco-ev-postoned/
  16. How to stay Unlocked but powered down at a job site?

    Apologies for what will be an obvious question, but I cannot find answers through the search and the old RTM did help much. When I have the R1T at the job site I find that it stays on or locks and unlocks depending on my location. I need to it stay unlocked but otherwise power down (except the...
  17. Driver+ Upgrade to EAP/Supercruise/BlueCruise?

    I have been searching the interwebs and the forum for any information on whether Rivian plans to bring Driver+ up to the level of automation that Tesla EAP/ GM Supercruise/ Ford BlueCruise etc. have on the highway? (Automatic lane changes, automatic freeway interchanges on mapped highways...
  18. Alexa Map Integration Issues

    Why is the Rivian version of Alexa is so stupid when it comes to navigation? The map itself is very good at recognizing and finding locations but the voice command Alexa is a complete idiot. "Navigate to Kroger on ____ Dr. in Houston" Alexa: Okay there is a Kroger in ____ Ohio, do you want that...
  19. Hyundai To Use NACS Starting In 2024

    The end. https://insideevs.com/news/689976/hyundai-use-tesla-nacs-connector-us-starting-2024/ Cannot wait to get my adapter for the R1S. C'mon Rivian... be first out the gate!
  20. Need Advice: Road Trip Take Rivian or Tesla?

    Looking for some honest advice from more experienced Rivian owners: I need to do a 1,200 mile road trip this week (Houston to NW Arkansas round trip). My R1S has 600 miles on it and no issues, but between the endless stories about horrible charging networks and what appears to be (from reading...
