  1. Charging to 100 percent isn't bad now on home charging (GEOTAB study)

    I lease mine and always home charge to 95%. No degradation at 2 years 22,000 miles. The only drawback that I would remind people about is the loss of regenerative braking when filling battery to capacity. I'm really accustomed to not touching the brakes so beware.
  2. 100k miles on my Rivian R1T

    Great long term evaluation! Thanks for sharing that. I agree, as a car guy who's always looking for my next vehicle, there isn't anything that piques my interest. Mu wife's Cayenne S feels like a slug and I don't think you could find anything as good for twice the price.
  3. 12-Month review: I can't recommend the R1S for most people

    Well said. You hit the nail on the head. But I do think my X5M actually rode worse than my R1S. Nobody wanted to ride in that.
  4. 12-Month review: I can't recommend the R1S for most people

    As a current Cayenne S owner and a RS1 I don't understand how you could come to this assessment. Unless I'm doing a 200+ mile drive I'm taking the Rivian 100% of the time. Now maybe it's because living in Florida we're blessed with some of the best roads in the country but even over speed...
  5. Rivian May Be Much Closer to FSD Than You Think

    The latest version of Tesla FSD is incredible! I don't understand how you could say that unless you haven't used it in over a year. I'm happy to pay an extra $3600 over the 3 year lease of my car for the convenience of hands free driving on long trips. I hope Rivian's system is as good.
  6. I LOVE my R1S!!!!!!!

    I have a Cayenne S for my wife. I used to think it was the ultimate. Now I hate driving it in the city.It feels like such a slug. I have to admit that the Cayenne dominates highway driving though. You can cruise at 90+ at 24 mpg for 6+ hours if you want. It still our long haul option.
  7. 20" Inch Tire Guide for 33" & 34" options - Choosing the Best 275/60R20 – 275/65R20 Tires

    I just replaced my Scorpions with Bridgstone Dueler A/T Ascent. Huge difference in ride and noise. 60,000 mile warranty from Costco. $1500 for the swap. No idea what the warranty actually covers though, I can't see how anything would last 60,000 on a Quad motor setup
  8. Rivian prominently featured in two new movies: High 2 Low and Play Dirty

    I stopped watching when I heard squealing tires on a gravel road. Seriously, don't the sound engineers know better?
  9. Would you still buy your Rivian today?

    100% would. Love this vehicle
  10. VION roof shade for R1S

    I bought this too. I rate it 5/5. It fit perfectly and went in pretty quickly. Mine fit like yours until I furred out how the clips should go and futzed around with it a bit. Yours looks correct to me so I'm not sure why you have gaps like that. Instructions were very vague to say the least...
  11. Canadian EV space R2 iX3 GLC EV Y 5 vs 6 seater

    Tough choice between supporting China and its bullying policies vs US and its current bullying policies. I'd wager that the US is the better choice just based on human rights issues but I imagine there are a few people who would argue that too. How about a GM product? Kind of a Canadian product...
  12. Tesla shuts down Dojo, the AI training supercomputer that Musk said would be key to full self-driving

    It's pretty simple, the new A16 chip can pretty much do what Dojo does and is more adaptable for robotics. It would be inefficient to do both
  13. What is your "minor wish?"

    4 little wishes here: HUD Soft close doors Real leather seating surface Proper audio system
  14. You've been warned! If you're heading to California this weekend, be on the lookout...

    Having lived in California, New York, Boston, Chicago and now Florida I can tell you that when those aggressive New York and Californian drivers are on vacation they manage to level up by the adding not knowing where they're going. Miami in particular is astounding. No signals and triple digit...
  15. A Beautiful Disaster — Rivian Is Not Ready for Prime Time

    I'm on my 3rd Rivian and have had service exclusively at the Miami center. It's not what I'd call a high end location but the service has been flawless in the 3 times I've needed maintenance. That's 50,000 combined miles and way better than the 2 month wait time I have at Naples Porsche,
  16. 4th crack in windshield. OMG I’m so done

    Maybe follow the car ahead of you a little closer or further back. I'm on my 3rd Rivian and haven't had a crack yet. Probabbly just jinxed myself.
