Occasionally, I get asked in parking lots or, in today's case, a parking structure how I like my truck. Today, I was running late to my dermatologist appointment and had someone ask me about my Rivian. He was driving a Tacoma and said he looked into Rivians but never actually talked to someone...

I'm back after a long break to get some advice. I own a '22 R1T, and it has been great. I have close to 40K on it and have only had occasional minor issues with it, like a broken cup holder and loose trim. However, with my son getting older and having to transport him and our two large dogs...

So, I've mentioned before that we had an i4 M50 on order for my wife. We were able to pick it up yesterday, and I've put a hundred or so miles on it in the last day, driving around and running errands. I don't have the whole thing dialed in yet, but I have enough time behind the wheel to get a...

I went from Knoxville to North Western, WI, and back this past weekend. There were some interesting takeaways from my trip. I want to take this opportunity to give my impressions of the trip and EV charging in general. I'll break it down into sections, as I usually do with my reviews, so feel...

Maybe someone else here can enlighten me. I had a mobile service appointment to get the software swapped from my 21" tires to my 22" tires. I was told that they could send out a mobile tech to update the software and they called me back on the night of my scheduled appointment to let me know...

There's been a lot of discussion lately about different software for different trim levels of truck. People arguing for Rivian to provide special features for certain models, and others arguing for giving all trucks the same truck. I'm going to take this opportunity to explain why Rivian should...

https://apple.news/AJ6OeGHavQUqTHlQpzg-KaQ A report from CarsDirect found that Chevrolet dealers taking delivery of the new Chevrolet Blazer EV have been adding their own markups on top of the manufacturer’s suggested retail price.They found that dealers around the country, including those in...

I took delivery of my truck with the 21" rims and stock tires. Well those tires lasted about 16x miles and I'm down to the wear bars. I bought a set of 22" stock darks from another member here and changed out the tires to the new Michelin Defender EV tires this past Friday. Just a few...

I bought some 22's from a fellow member here who went aftermarket for rims and he used his center caps from his 22's to hide the manufacturer logo. I have the ones that came with his aftermarket wheels, which he told me about before I bought them. I would like to change them out to the same...

My R1T is probably the best all round vehicle I've ever owned. However it is not my favorite. My favorite was my first, a 1969 Buick Riviera painted in lacquer black with a painted on lime green metallic pin stripe. My dad and uncle helped me restore it and I just felt cool as hell as a 16-17...

I've had my truck officially for one year at this point as I took delivery September of 2022. I'll start with the synopsis of my upcoming review. This truck is best described by me as a jack of all trades. There isn't one single thing this truck is the best at, but it's very good at so many...

With electric motors being a huge leap forward in terms of performance that sales of exotic cars will stagnate and taper off? Right now the biggest thing limiting EV all around performance is handling because of battery weight. Even the Rivian has super car acceleration speeds and that's a...

I want to talk about what seems like an absurdly high rate of totalled Rivians and suggest a cause that might be good might be a gloomy forecast for Rivian. First off I acknowledge that it's really difficult to tell how frequent R1s are being totalled compared to any other vehicle in accidents...

Looking to buy or trade for some 22" dark rims in East TNish area. Willing to travel a little bit, and ideally someone would want my 21" road tires with spare in trade with some money on my end for new tires and the rim upgrade. Something like Even trade plus 2500-3K is what I'm thinking.

I was at my local greenway halfway through my 8 mile run when I went to my truck to drink some protein and branched dextrin(sugar more or less) to finish up. As I was walking up to the truck a guy parked next to me commented on how cool my truck was. So even as gassed as I was, new greenway...

Okay guys. My truck has 14k and change and the fronts are 4.5/32 and the rears are 5/32. That means I'm gonna need some shoes. I burned this set off as if they were made of paper so that leads me to considering a different wheel and tire combo. Unfortunately I have the 21's so there isn't any...

I ordered my wife's new BMW i4M50 yesterday. Luckily enough my dealer had an allocation already we were able to take with a build date in the end of September. I know a small sedan isn't exactly a direct competitor to my T but I plan on comparing and contrasting the buying process and the car...

Yesterday my uncle came over and we installed the black emblems from Abstract Ocean. He told me to let the truck sit in my climate controlled garage for the rest of the day because of rain and high humidity here so the glue sets. Well the R1 is pretty much the only vehicle I'm ever in since my...

There’s a thread on here about what would you change about your R1 for a future version. That got me thinking as to why I bought this truck in particular. I got it simply because of its sports car performance promise. For a truck it absolutely feels like a sports car. What I’d like is for them...
