Android Auto and Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS) are two very different things.

Spoiler Alert: the "surprise" is a Tri-Motor R1T.

I had a similar experience with my first R1T QM LE. So much wasted time to and from Richmond. Feeling better about my current R1T QM Adventure since allegedly North Carolina Service Centers are in the works now. I was very close to purchasing a new GMC AT4X AEV Edition, however, it seemed very...

I am no expert audiophile, though I think Atmos is centered around bouncing the sound off the ceiling if I remember what the Best Buy sales person was explaining trying to sell me the latest Sonos Arc sound bar. It did not knock my socks off, but I believe it requires the correct hardware to...

FWIW, I tried to use Rivian Support to do a PPI and service history; radio silence until I actually purchased the vehicle and provided the purchase documents.

2022 R1T Launch Edition Pinehurst, NC 2022 R1T Launch Edition Charlotte, NC 2022 R1T Adventure Alexandria, VA Paid $55k for my 2022 R1T Adventure with approximately 33,500-miles on it.

Dealerships really suck. Some still try to sell add-ons on used vehicles like LoJack, PPF, Locking Lugs, Tint, magic ceramic coatings, etc. Save yourself the ass-pain and buy from the owner. Recently used BaT.com for my Cayman S and would do it again. Just factor in the additional 5% charge or...

^^^ ...what COdogman said ^^^ and use the search function along with Google and Bing for common issues. Run Carfax and AutoCheck; consider purchasing from the original owner if possible. Facebook Marketplace, Bring A Trailer, Cars and Bids are great places to search.

Consider using Turo to rent an R1S for a few days so you can really live with it. I think this is the surest way to know if it is simply too large for your life.

I would settle for Google Assistant since their system is allegedly built on Android. Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS) worked very well (when it worked) in my old Polestar 2; it rivaled and might have been superior to Tesla. I never felt I needed CarPlay or Android Auto even using my...

I was impressed at how well the Tri-Motor did compared to my Gen 1 Quad at Uwharrie. By no means a super well controlled "crawl" but not slinging rocks and hopping like my Quad. I tend to agree with Tommy that mechanical lockers are a better solution for rock crawling and more difficult trails...

I am no engineer either, though I did own a Taycan with a battery pack below 100 kWh; it could pull 270 kW way longer than my R1T QM Large Pack can hold 217 kW. Believe it or not you really do not lose much time charging on a 150 kW DCFC (provided it operating correctly). State of Charge has...

"Why not Rivian?" ...because their battery pack thermal management would need to improve and more importantly they would need a nominal 600v - 900v pack voltage to reach 300+ kW and hold it (near it) for any length of time.

I am sure many if not most of us have had issues with our RIvians; what impresses me is how Rivian handles my issues. I realize there is still tons of room for Rivian to improve, however, when I compare my service and warranty experience with other premium brands like JLR, Audi, Porsche and...

As others have said "thank you for your service and sacrifice!" I tried taking my R1T Launch Edition with stock 20" AT's around the loop at Uwharrie (moderate stuff), could not even make it around the loop much less to the 3-D'S (Dutch John, Dickey Bell, and Daniel). I actually got rid of it...

Big Metallica fan here, however, I immediately thought "ride the lightning" related to Texas and the death penalty (electric chair) :CWL:

Would totally take you up on them if they were for R1T. Good luck with sale!

I get the feeling I already missed out. Last time a deal like this came along ($2k for 4 AT with worn Pirellis) I missed out by mere minutes. Gotta say I appreciate the shrewd salesmanship rather than listing closer to new OEM wheel set pricing.

I thought it was pretty lame since they could have tried in an area with harder-packed soil.

I am feeling these Hankook's (33" 275 60 20 SL) to swap with my OEM 21" range wheels, maybe put them on some Atomic 20" AW08's unless I can find some used 20" OEM's somewhere. Price is awesome and specs are pretty good as well. Just not buying the Nitto Recon Grappler is the answer to all our...
