Thanks! Agree Tesla's camera game is lacking in the 360 degree area, looking forward to easier parking with the Rivian as a result. Will take a look at the EV sportline magsafe mount, appreciate the suggestion. May start with the old USB-C cords on delivery and go from there. I did order a...

I've been on this forum for nearly two years, placed a pre-order even earlier - Sept 2022 - and am looking forward to taking delivery of a R1S Dual Large tomorrow. Was trying to hold out as long as possible for the NACS port but here I am. It seems newer vehicles are not eligible for "free"...

Look out for Woodbridge, NJ. Some say a service center is opening up there this year.

He's not wrong. Tesla had radar and ultrasonic sensors in all their vehicles - and then removed them. My 2021 Model S had both ultrasonic sensors (really best for parking) and radar (longer range driving) but the radar was unplugged at a service visit as the software no longer relied on the...

Farley "What, charging is important? Especially on road trips and while towing? Ooops. *cough CCS* The rub is Ford, and surprisingly GM, is behind 10-15 years of Tesla in design and engineering specifically for EV's. You need to rethink every gram added to the vehicle to make a large EV...

Check with your utility first, many offer off-peak charging discounts if you use certain chargers. I've got a Tesla Universal Wall Charger and am about to install a second one. Great app, session logging, scheduling, etc. and they just work. If you have multiple on the same panel they can...

I'll toss in a vote for the opposite. Tesla service center staff have been far more friendly and approachable in the last 6 months with fresh products (Cybertruck, redesigned 3 and now Y) then previously. There was a window 1-2 years ago where service was severely short-staffed as sales...

meh, prefer to reverse into a charger so I can see what's happening around me while charging and keeping all the pedestals out of harm's way at the edge of a lot rather than in between spaces is safer and easier to navigate. I don't agree with everything Tesla does, I'd rather have a driver's...

No need to label other people's preferences that are different from your own as 'strange'. It's 2025, adapters are a relic. The standards war was fought and won so we won't have to carry adapters, regardless of size or type. As for all those CCS DCFC, at least in the northeast a lot of them...

Similar situation, have had a reservation for 2+ years awaiting the switch to NACS. No interest in #adapterlife That said, I did install a tesla universal wall charger and have a second awaiting installation - just in case my will weakens. So far have been holding strong.

I did notice shipping times have switched to 8-12 weeks for quite a few options/configs.

seems like excessive tire wear is something that you would notice if you checked your tires regularly and had them rotated. Not sure what you want Rivian to do, you're the one who wore out your tires. Maybe next time replace the tires first if they are so badly worn and then let them do their...

What I can add is that during a Fall (really August) dropoff to college, having done it in a Cybertruck, is efficiency at that time of year can be 20-30% higher than what you're experiencing now, and even more if you precondition - warm up or cool down while plugged in to the wall - AND make...

I would advise against a "workaround" since it seems in that thread the Rivian's "fix" didn't work. Sure, you can force more power into the pack, but what issues might you be creating by bypassing the programmed behavior? Still contend that Rivian is figuring out the hardware/software on the...

Maybe it's a bug, but the hard cutoffs at clear percentages indicate to me that this was programmed behavior. Why? I'm guessing the BMS is having a hard time reading state of charge of the pack - maybe new cells, new BMS, whatever - and as a result moves to a trickle charge at 80% to take the...

that's brutal. at that point the LFP standard pack may be a better road tripper.

thx. responded

can you share the video? just wondering how long this merge --> accident took

Motor Trend has really lost it the last few months.

A 5 seat R1S is not a new platform. Removing a row of seats is far easier than adding one. Just don't install them and drop in a flat plate on top a la the rear of the Model X. Everything else is identical. If they can't do it in 90 days or less something is wrong.
