  1. Comma AI/OpenPilot Update -- Watch it in Action on Gen1 Rivian (Video)

    Lukas sent an email earlier that they will be able to enable longitudinal control with an add on box. It should be available in about a month. I of course signed up for one. That will give Comma.AI control over the speed. Hasta la vista Driver+!
  2. Roadtrip Settings Help

    Drafting trucks isn’t worth the risk of breaking that fragile windshield.
  3. Cybertruck Thoughts

    If they could repackage it, I'd be interested. There are some things I really like about it. The 4 wheel steering and steer by wire work well, especially since they tightened up the turning radius. The efficiency is definitely better than that of a Rivian. The acceleration is currently better...
  4. The 2025 Rivian R1S Large pack is...uh...not so Large (or efficient)

    The wind noise is a pretty common issue. Lots of wind noise mitigation threads including my own here https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/yet-another-wind-noise-thread-what-has-worked-so-far-for-me.43009/. I would start with doing a window calibration first on all your windows. My wind...
  5. Electrafi (Teslafi) now available for Rivian

    They include the Tesla fields as well.
  6. Comma AI/OpenPilot Update -- Watch it in Action on Gen1 Rivian (Video)

    The Janka mount looks a little Janky. It has a fairly long lever arm where it is more likely to rock and put more load on the VHB tape. Also the longer effective arm makes for more vibration typically. It makes me appreciate the Chun mount even more. I hope the Janka works well for you. Yes -...
  7. IN-STOCK! 20" Forged Wheels Custom-Crafted by Variant $649.95 Each

    Those look awesome. How much do the 20" ones weigh?
  8. Rivian buy back: what should my next vehicle be?

    Make an EV version of the FJ Cruiser I had be and I'd buy one in an instant, range be damned. It has been interesting to see other people's thoughts. The Lexus are so fugly looking I couldn't own one now. The more I thought about it, if something happened to my R1T, it would be the Gravity...
  9. New Front Skid Plate for Rivian R1T & R1S by DCE Weistec

    Me too and easier to clean. If they offer plain aluminum option it would be clearly my first choice. Under car clean airflow is important too. At the same time, does the "venting" on the Rival actual help keep anything cooler?
  10. Almost 2K miles road trip on a Gen1 large quad R1T

    On the long highway stretches, I'd put it into conserve mode. To use a flawed analogy but somewhat appropriate, it would be like having a car/truck with overdrive and never using it. So for a more apt comparison, drop your energy used by 10% to accommodate the improved efficiency of conserve...
  11. New Front Skid Plate for Rivian R1T & R1S by DCE Weistec

    I am torn between the 2. The Weistec is $50 cheaper and I like the looks of it other than I'd prefer just an aluminum finish so when it gets scratched it won't show as badly. I don't really want to add a bunch of unnecessary weight but they are both about the same weight so I'd look at which is...
  12. R1T topper shell by Wakeshield

    I've done a ton of efficiency testing with my truck, so I'll be able to quickly quantify the impact, good or bad. I also plan to seal the gap between the cab and topper as much as I can and maybe do some wind tuft testing to see if there is any place it is really bad and I need to smooth it out...
  13. R1T topper shell by Wakeshield

    The topper from a group buy has reached someone. Might have some data regarding any efficiency improvement over the next few weeks. I ordered one as well and plan to put it on as soon as I get it. I was seriously considering the Waskeshield but wanted more enclosed space than it offered. I...
  14. New Front Skid Plate for Rivian R1T & R1S by DCE Weistec

    Would have been better to post a direct link to the product. Hopefully this will work for others. https://www.weistec.com/front-skid-plate-rivian-r1s-r1t?_gl=1*15jbelj*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTkzODE5OTkxNC4xNzQ0ODI5ODYy*_ga_D67DL800FB*MTc0NDgyOTg2MC4xLjAuMTc0NDgyOTg2MC4wLjAuMA..
  15. Rivian buy back: what should my next vehicle be?

    I'd be in the Gravity camp first if no serious offroading. Next would be the Macan EV but they are pretty tiny inside. I've driven my friend's ICE Macan and it isn't very roomy.
  16. 2025.10 Update Now Installing

    FYI - Spotify is down for thousands of users. So maybe not Rivian's fault.
  17. Windshield replacement - Safelite -- aftermarket vs OEM glass?

    Good luck with that. If you take those pictures, can you share them via DM? I am trying to see what Rivian considers good enough to ship out now. Mine truly is horrendous on both the windshield and pano roof. On the roof I have a gap so narrow on one side a knife blade would barely fit and on...
  18. Windshield replacement - Safelite -- aftermarket vs OEM glass?

    I don't think Safelite could do worse than how mine came from the factory... As I mentioned in a wind noise thread I started, Rivian even made Tesla look amazing in terms of glass installation (windshield, pano roof, etc.). Maybe the local SC would do better than the factory. I have actually...
