  1. Weight does make some difference

    I've been tracking towing my very aero TrailManor. Depending on how much weight I have in it, the range rating varies. This, driving the same loop to the same camp ground under pretty much the same conditions. The swing in detected weight seems a bit much but maybe not off by huge amounts...
  2. Base Station: Lightweight Towable Travel Trailer revealed by Honda

    Honestly That space is already in the R1S for sleeping comfortably.
  3. Should I buy the full-size 22" spare tire or the compact spare tire for R1S?

    Yes, just rotate the wheel so you can get at the puncture. Remove the screw or whatever. Use the rake file to ream the hole. Insert a plug to the middle in the fork tool. Coat it with lots of glue so it slides easier. Force the tool and plug into the tread so the plug is inside but still has...
  4. 22" Scorpion tires are so fragile

    I had a nail on day two but caught it before it went through. A screw a few months later that I plugged. The heavier the tire, the more the drivability goes away. I've had all different AT tires in size and load rating on 4wheeling rigs. Another tire similar to compare to the ltx MS is the...
  5. Should I buy the full-size 22" spare tire or the compact spare tire for R1S?

    The goop is the very last resort for me. Plugs are number 1 and one of my wheels sports one. Number 2 is the spare. I have a compact one. Number 3 goop for the irreversible mess it makes.
  6. R2 Early Production Vehicle Sneak Peak on CNBC [Ride Along Video w/ RJ Scaringe]

    I think he had a question list he was referring to.
  7. R2 Early Production Vehicle Sneak Peak on CNBC [Ride Along Video w/ RJ Scaringe]

    I think it has more room in the second row than the R1. It's really roomy.
  8. New official R2 videos: pre-production assembly / production at factory!

    Yellow badge? Wonder if that's a tri-motor? With the lfp issues, I'm hoping they passed on those right now.
  9. Google Maps on Rivian is not on par with other platforms

    The Rivian station rating system is super helpful. It was always frustrating not knowing if chargers were available, working and how much.
  10. Toyota Highlander EV Coming - Is This It?

    Well Toyota has had lots of motor issues lately. Both the new 4cyl and 3.5L turbo motors are going through bearings every 30K. Like Hyundai they claim debris left in from manufacturing but tear downs have shown it's a defect instead.
  11. Purchased used, curious what might be missing from R1S

    I camp speaker is junk. Don't bother. Some of the other items can be gotten in the Rivian gear shop and are worth it like the flashlight, some sort of mobile charger (aftermarket is fine), storage divider, compressor hose and plugs, and especially card keys.
  12. I done did it

    The few times I've had to DC charge for more than 15 minutes I was eating lunch anyway. The Max pack just gets me to so many places without worrying about charging. Keep in mind that the TRI and performance models only give full hp in Sport mode.
  13. Rivian PLEASE give us a VERY LOW REGEN for Conserve Mode and Snow.

    I wonder if the rad tuner allows for lower Regen adjustment? We need a quad to chime in. Some of us might get that feature if Rivian decides to add it to performance models. In all models you can shift to neutral. Sometimes that is needed on steep rutted dirt roads where lifting a wheel causes...
  14. Wind noise caused by door misalignment?

    The door strike is adjustable on most vehicles. Mark the current position of the strike with tape and also measure the offset in a convenient spot on the closed door to see how much it needs to be moved. Loosen the screws and slide the strike in that much. Tighten and test. If it's only the...
  15. Motor failure message

    The inverters are attached to the motors. I believe "motor temp" is actually the inverter temp. They are basically cooled together. The inverter converts the DC battery power to 3 phase to run the motor and vice versa to regen. On some vehicles the motor inverter acts as the charger from AC for...
  16. Gen 1.5 NACS Charging Dispenser Technical Specs (RAN Charger)

    Looks like Rivian has switched on 900v on its existing CCS stations. This one is in CO West of Denver.
  17. Rivian full self-driving

    A good example would be Tesla to estimate a timeline. Tesla now charges $99 per month for auto pilot.
  18. J1772 extensions for home charging safe?

    Many garage doors just have a plastic weatherstrip gasket on the bottom that conforms.
  19. Insulate Your Glass Roof - Improve Comfort, Efficiency

    I bought one that has reflective foil on the up side. If I roll down all the windows, the wind buffeting knocks it down. I need to figure better clips. It's no longer on Amazon.
