I own an R1T with a camp speaker. Today after lunch my never used camp speaker started making a short beep or warble. There is no warning sound or icon flashing; just every 30 seconds or so, it makes a beep/warble. When I got home, it kept beeping. I tried to use the control buttons with no...

You are correct. There is no "standard" for rolling resistance. What you can accurately say is that less resistance is better than more. It is just one of many factors to consider when buying tires, especially for EVs.
But rolling resistance can be correctly used to measure and...
I posted this explanation in another tire thread but I thought this might be helpful for many of us to read. Tire rolling resistance should be one of the top factors that you consider when you spend your hard-earned dollars.
When we talk about efficiency in tires we are talking mostly about...
When we talk about efficiency in tires we are talking mostly about "rolling resistance". Every manufacturer of quality tires (like Michelin or Pirelli) publish that number for their tires. It is helpful for us EV owners to use that number when we compare tire makes and models.
Here is a...
What does the convenience button on the steering wheel look like? I have never heard of this. but I am still learning all the things that are available in the system.
Thank you!
I have had poor results from the navigation software. For example, I went to Santa Ana, CA from my home in the Coachella Valley to get my EVbase running boards installed at the EVbase office (I noticed on their website that they now install them.)
So I used the navigation software in my R1T...
Speaking as a long-time Corvette owner, something like the old two-fingered peace sign works. That way you can quickly change it to a one-fingered salute if they don't wave back! :devil:
Spoke with Rivian this morning. They tell me that Rivian is sending out the adapters with the oldest Rivians first and working from there. I just bought my R1T in March so they told me probably around year end or later for my turn.
Hope that helps!
I have had my R1T for a month now. When I use the A/C to cool the interior, the air coming from the rear vent blows cold air from the left side and hot air from the right side of the vent(the one just above the screen).
Any ideas? I have tried to start and stop my HVAC hoping that it would...
I am installing a new SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD by using one of the usb c connectors in the armrest well. How do I verify that the truck recognizes the drive? I installed the drive using the small cable that came with the drive.
I will be away from home for a month or so later this year and I am wondering about the best way to charge my R1T during that time. I have a home charger 15-40 wall outlet and I will be leaving the truck in the garage.
What is the best way to set up my charge cables to keep a charge on the...
Musk has poisoned Tesla to consumer segmant that he needs--affluent folks who love the environment and want to be "green". Why Musk did this I don't know but it sure makes me regret, a little anyway, my Tesla model Y.

Tesla’s Sales Drop, a Sign That Its Grip on the E.V. Market Is Slipping
Sales of the company’s electric cars dropped in the first three months of the year, even as other automakers sold more battery-powered vehicles.
Actually, sales figures were just released...
The wheel and the tire design both contribute to the efficiency of an EV. The weight and aerodynamic design of the wheel have an effect on that efficiency separate from the tire. It so happens that the most efficient design offered from Rivian is the one you have. This is a complicated...
