If you're running at a ride height significantly different from when the vehicle was initially aligned, and plan to put on a lot of miles with that difference in height, it's a good idea to get the vehicle aligned.
I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that Rivian vehicles are aligned at the...
Oh, and we should mention that we don't advise or recommend running the truck at heights above or below the heights that Rivian has preset in the vehicle. You all can do so at your own risk :)
We'll add some products to the website soon, for now here is a teaser of our first new product that we're looking to release for "beta" testers in the coming weeks!
These are our "Triple L" ride height adjustment pins, also known as "Leveling Links".
These cute guys allow the ability to...
Information from Car & Driver tests of both vehicles:

A quick way to check whether it is an alignment issue (thrust angle) or a tire issue would be to rotate the tires and see if the pull follows the the tires. I'd say 1 in 10 alignment jobs I was handed as a tech would be a tire pull rather than the alignment, which is why I always spoke to the...
40 minutes - however getting 80kWh would take far less time if we arrived at 5 or 10%!
Yes, it seems that Rivian introduces the power more slowly for a minutes to warm the battery gently. Even at 160kW that is just over 1C, so Rivian is being very gentle to these batteries compared to say a...
It should also be mentioned that Telsa wrote this on their website:
Hopefully this cable will be available soon at a reasonable cost, which will help the introverts (ourselves included) avoid those uncomfortable showdowns!
And for those of you who enjoy things on the spicy side, you'll have...
I think the fewer people who watch the video the better. The pain of having to look at my face for too long must be unbearable...
Next time we'll find someone a little bit easier on the eyes. At least Jesse makes up for it a little bit!
Hi Everyone,
With Tesla's opening of supercharger access for Rivians opening up on the 18th, we were eager to get to a supercharger and experience the process. The pain here in Canada of Level 3 chargers is unberaable, and you'll see in the video we have some rather pointed words for the charge...
This is good feedback, I will check into the quick-release air chucks and try to ensure we accomodate clearance for them.
Regarding wheel width, the offset is the same so the tire will remain in the same position. We do have bolt on "aero cover" holes tapped into the wheels.
This brings me...
Hi everyone! Here's a video we did today using an aftermarket NACS adapter.
We're in Canada so were super pleased to see everything working here as well as in the states. There's also a charge profile in the video - the truck pulled over 200kW up to 45% as you'd expect.
The nightmare of using...
Thanks for posting! We're planning on making an official announcement very soon, but wanted to tease them for our Instagram followers first :)
I believe the 9.5" width will be a good balance as well for those who want improve driving feel and response. A wider wheel always gives more to the...
These types of software modifications are the hardest modifications to achieve and are basically impossible without some level of OEM cooperation or "unintended" cooperation ?
I would imagine the inverters are hard-coded with an RPM limit, so there's really no way around that without being able...
Thanks so much for the warm welcome everyone! It means a lot to us and I have to say the feeling of this forum is reminiscent of the early days of the Tesla forums.
As for the metric/imperial comments - I don't think Canada is much better! We do "human" height in feet and inches, weight in...
