Have a look at Rennstands. The the jack puck sits on the cross beam of the stand and the stand is jacked up. One the vehicle has been lifted, the legs of the stand are extended to contact the floor and pinned. Then the floor jack is lowered and removed.

@AllInev thanks for the kind words. Glad the tool works for you. It is pretty amazing how such a simple thing does the trick.

It's Georges Seurat's new ride.

Yeah, I thought about Discount Tire but given that I've seen maybe five R1 vehicles in my area I'm thinking I'll let the guys at my local DT practice on somebody else's truck before I let them practice on mine. Still a little precious...

OK, so I'll buy a 3-1/2 ton floor jack. I'm building a couple rennstand remixes that extend to >23" and hold jack pucks. I like the idea of having the truck on proper stands during the rotation and with two it'll be easy to do a cross rotation. Thanks guys.

I have a 2-1/2 ton floor jack. I plan on doing my own tire rotations. I know the manual calls for 3 ton. You think the 2-1/2 will be ok or bad idea?

That does look nice. Maybe have to do that one. Thanks.

Yeah, the Soonish one looks pretty good. I'd just rather have an OEM drop in replacement if I could get one. It still blows my mind how awful the current stock one is. Surely they knew this was gonna be a pain point for users. Oh well. I'll wait a bit more then maybe do the Soonish one.

Man, I'd be happy to pay for a wireless phone charger that works. I wonder if (if there really is a new one) it could be retrofitted.

Couple weeks ago I towed my ski boat for the first time with the R1S (PDM w/ 21" stock wheels and tires). I normally get 2.2-2.4mi/kwh just driving that route. Towing the 3500lb boat and trailer dropped it to 1.6. I think I could eek out a tiny bit more on a longer run.

I got an appointment at the Richmond, VA SC in just two weeks, too. R1S was pulling slightly right since delivery in late December. 4 hours and done. Before and after print-outs showed there was indeed some adjustment needed. Drives like a dream now.

I installed one of these 'spare bumper' things. (The idea is it will attenuate the impact from a rear end collision). It's a 4" x 24" piece of heavy steel tube. The plastic ends come off. I sandwiched the tools (I'd need to access the manual front trunk release) in a couple pieces of pool noodle...

Dark-FX has it right.

In case it wasn't clear about the dip switch settings being backwards, here's the screenshot from the manual. (The white bits are the moving part of each dip switch and down is off/ up is on.)

I use both ACC and Highway assist whenever I can. Both work quite well. I keep a couple fingers and a thumb lightly on the wheel pretty much all the time. Rarely get the warning. I do have one complaint and one 'wish for': Complaint: Highway assist noticeably wanders inside the lane, perhaps 6"...

Renn Stands for $200 each. Two of them, plus pucks and a jack, and you can do a proper cross rotation.

Bingo. The EA app shows 'Coming Soon.' Lesson learned. :) Thanks.

I used the Rivian app to navigate to this charge station (13711 S Tamiami Trail, Fort Myers [Electrify America]). App shows 6 stalls at 350kW, status Unknown. Upon arrival (2/29/24) all stalls were blocked by cones and plastic sleeves were still on the cables and plugs. (Glad I had plenty of...

It's made from the rare metal unobtainium.

I take you point about temperature.
