@R.I.P exactly what Tesla Mobile Cord and Nema adapter were you referring to? I'm curious since it sounded like you prefer it over the Rivian portable charge cord. Thanks

The idea on this one is to absorb (the maker says 'attenuate') some of the impact by way of the rubber parts between the round tube and the receiver. It's the only one I've seen that does this.

I'm in Virginia, too. Is your provider Dominion?

Here's a very typical (in my world) use case for four tie downs: Anytime I transport anything that could fall over in a hard turn or stop I use an 'X' pattern of bungees over and or through anchor points on the object. Imagine a 5 gal gas can (I know, I know, why is there a gas can in a Rivian)...

Uh, do edges of a lake equal a beach? :) (And I'm a big fan of Michigan lake edges.)

You can buy clips like this at Napa and Amazon (for just two places). I suggest doing a search and looking at photos. A google image search for panel retainers will give you lots to look at.

This is a really helpful list. Thanks OP. Question (for a sad 21" configuration person): there are several 275/50/R21 tires available. I understand that the diameter is 1.08" smaller and the load rating of 113 vs 116 equates to reduction of 221 lbs in load rating each tire AND the speedometer...

Fair point. I see a set of four aluminum with magnets for $79. I'll buy them and move on to my next bad idea :)

I expect to receive my R1S near the end of Q4 this year. I plan to do my own tire rotations. I will use pucks and a floor jack. I think the fancy pucks that are available from retailers today are more expensive than their function warrants. They could easily be made from hard plastic like those...

So was this your previous car?

I wonder if it turns into a giant vibrator when it's threatened.

This is going to work out great when they make a new version of the movie Cars based on hippie EVs.
