  1. 20" Michelin Defender LTX Platinum Tires review -- For all of you thinking about a 20" tire! Your wait is over!

    Hmm, 285/60R20 tires...with a load rating of 125, that's nice. Wish I had gotten these instead of my BFGs, But, shucks, I'll worry about this in a couple of years now.
  2. Rivian is near the bottom of this predicted reliability study

    Consumer Reports has been a big lover of Toyota (and Lexus) for years. I gave up respecting them when they gave a thumbs up to a Toyota's climate control, over a Nissan's (the climate controls were exactly the same).
  3. Winter Tires: Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT 275/65 R 20 126/123Q ordered. Experience / reviews?

    I've got 21" wheels currently (20" wheels come tomorrow), so I'm more interested in 275/60R20 snow tires...per Tirerack, there are only 2 choices in that size, but are only 115 rated, and only one of them has a max inflation pressure that is high enough (Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV). Sigh. Might...
  4. Scorpion AS+ tire swap (from 20" Scorpion AT) - WOW big difference

    70K mile tires, at nearly the same rolling diameter as the 21" wheel/tire. Seems like a good choice. Treadwear expectation is supposedly about 33% better too. We shall be interested to see how your experiment turns out.
  5. Moving from 21" to 20" tires (no offroad) recommendations

    Max load 2679 @ 44psi? Seems a bit underinflated compared to OEM (though the load rating seems okay.) The 275/65/20 have a max load @ 80 psi, which is much better, even though the overall diameter would then be 34.3" inches. The 285/60R20 is also rated for max load @ 80 psi, though it is a...
  6. Timing from R1 Shop -> Delivery?

    I went back through my (recent) email. I think it was about a week from the time I chose one of the vehicles in the R1 Shop (2 weeks after my reservation) that they told me my Rivian was ready for delivery (it wasn't). I still had to go through the loan application and fill out a bunch of...
  7. Charging with an inverter generator - success!

    Honda generators have been renown for being quiet. I've a Honda eu1000 and Honda eu2000 (the 2000 is the quieter). I haven't needed to use them to recharge an automobile, but did use one to power a electric golf cart who's lead/acid batteries drained way faster than I expected one snowy (and...
  8. Rivian survey regarding AA/CarPlay

    No survey for me (yet?) Carplay would definitely be a big one on my list. I find the built in navigation is okay, but it's data for traffic conditions completely missing. I miss using Google Maps for that. And Waze's interactive traffic is nice too. I finally got a work around for Sirius (and...
  9. Hitch cover DIY mod. Ditch the screwdriver!

    Completed my (same) modification today. Thanks. :) Happy happy, joy, joy.
  10. Hitch cover DIY mod. Ditch the screwdriver!

    I'd be less concerned about (minimal) drag addition, and more concerned about mud and dirt getting into the electrical connection when I don't have the cover on and not actively towing. But I guess most folk don't have 1.25 mile long gravel driveways...
  11. The problem with the decision on bluetooth

    When you don't have internet how do you think this works? Answer is, it doesn't.
  12. The problem with the decision on bluetooth

    Already tried, and no, in transmit mode they wouldn't pair (or be seen) by the iPhone. In receive mode, they could be, just not transmit mode.
  13. The problem with the decision on bluetooth

    The paperwork for purchasing my R1T mentioned VERIZON, and not AT&T. Your assumption about my lack of knowledge is irritating. I work with computers daily (and usually far more than 8 hours a day). The fact that I haven't NEEDED to set up the music app on my iPhone is not your business. Last...
  14. The problem with the decision on bluetooth

    I've tried 2 different BT broadcast (transmitter) devices. Neither was seen by the R1T.
  15. The problem with the decision on bluetooth

    Many many years ago I bought lifetime subscription for my Sirius device(s). Then the Sirius XM merger happened, but my lifetime subscriptions still exist. No monthly fee. I broke even on the subscription cost after 4 years. It's been 13 or 14 years now with free satellite radio for me. Until now.
  16. The problem with the decision on bluetooth

    But what about commercials? Or talking DJs? Or second breakfast?
  17. Rivian updates website: Two 12v outlets now (none in frunk) for R1T

    I picked up my R1T on the 31st of March (2023). No 12v in the frunk. No 12v under the dash. Now the only 12v is in the gear tunnel. VIN 217XX
  18. The problem with the decision on bluetooth

    Unfortunately, Music on the iphone (so far) has insisted on being ordered by Album, rather than random or as >I< would organize. Years ago I burnt CDs of my favorite tracks (it was 6 or 8 CDs). But I still like the selection I get from Sirius (though I've augmented my CD collection based on some...
  19. The problem with the decision on bluetooth

    Next thing I'm going to try is an FM Transmitter (since the bluetooth didn't work). Just ordered one on Amazon, and will get it on Sunday.
