  1. KO3 tires installed on Rivian R1T!

    I just ordered me a set of Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 3's from Costco. Ready to install them on my Bronze R800 Compass 8 spoke Flow Forged wheels. Of all the places to buy wheels, Costco can't be beat. Free install, free balancing, free rotation for life, stores all over the country and...
  2. Audi SQ8 starting at $89,800 - Tri motor - 0-60 in 4.2 seconds

    If most manufacturers recommend charging to 70 - 80% to prolong battery life, it means a range of only around 200 miles. Certainly not a car to take on a trip with the poor standard of charging stations at this point. Audi's are nice though!
  3. Blinker noise is annoying.

    I don't what all you talking about1 I never use my blinker.:LOL::beer::muscle:???
  4. How would home solar panels with powerwall batteries works with charging the Rivian?

    As far as payback goes, it's a no brainer getting solar and batteries for that matter. As I mentioned before, My system after the tax rebate was about $51,000. Guess what, my house's value just went up $50,000. There are more and more people going solar, and a house already equipped with...
  5. Polestar 3 SUV annouced, makes R1S look like a great deal!

    I have a deposit on a Volvo EX 30. Around $35,000! A real Volvo.
  6. Brake light function with one pedal driving?

    Yeah I have always wondered at what level of deceleration does the brake lights come on? As I pass another vehicle, the Rivian accelerates from say 40 mph to 70 mph in just seconds. This means that you blow by these vehicles at speeds they don't really imagine. When passed, I then let off the...
  7. How would home solar panels with powerwall batteries works with charging the Rivian?

    I agree, my system alone does not keep up with Rivian's demand. After all, Rivian has a 135kW battery and my wall battery units are only 20kW. So, there is a period every time I charge that I deplete my batteries and then tap off of the grid. My solar system only helps a little and...
  8. How would home solar panels with powerwall batteries works with charging the Rivian?

    Well good luck. I have a 9kW solar system in my house in PA with a single Tesla Powerwall. I also have a Tesla wall charger and have had very good results. I have Tesla Model Y. I was told by my local power co, that we don't have different rates for different times of the day, only businesses...
  9. 22" Michelin Tires @ Costco for under $2K installed (compatible with Rivian 22" factory wheels)

    All for under $2000? Did that include dismounting the old, and installing the new? I guess so. It seems reasonable and you have the Costco piece of mind. There are "No Name Brand" tires that you can get for about $1,000 installed if you're willing to take that chance.
  10. Anyone charged at a Tesla Supercharging station?

    Besides my Rivian, I also have a Tesla Model Y and I have a Tesla account when charging at a Tesla charging station. I also have two Tesla Wall chargers at my homes in PA and FL. I use the "J" adapter at my Florida house and charge my Rivian without any issues ever. Has anybody ever used a J...
  11. Canyonlands/Moab White Rim Road Trip Report and 5k mi R1T Review

    Yeah a great write up and great pics as well. Just wondering, I have a Model Y and have a Tesla wall charger both in my homes in PA and FL. I use the "J" xxx connector when charging my Rivian in Florida and it works flawlessly. I do have a Tesla account when charging at the Tesla...
  12. Lifted Rivian R1T on lift kit and 38s!! + Drag Race vs. Ram TRX

    Wow, almost 1000 hp and 0-60 in 2 seconds! I must do that to my truck. Lift, big tires, modify suspension and voila, you get all this extra speed and power.
  13. How Much it Cost to Drive a Rivian 3,000 Miles Compared to a Midsize Gas Pickup Truck Cents Per Mile

    It seems obvious to me, is that if you have an EV, any EV, you're a fool if you don't charge at home. Better yet, with solar panels and possibly batteries like the Powerwall makes it even better. Other than trips, I drive totally for free with my system.
  14. Tire/Wheel Conundrum

    I just bought a set of R800 Compass 8 Spoke 20" Flow Forged Wheels by Team 1EV for Rivian R1T / R1S × 1 . Specifically designed for Rivian. I made use of the Labor Day discount of 10% on the wheels that were already discounted. Here's the deal: The Bronze wheels were $1796.35 for four. I also...
  15. Report: Rivian discontinuing Compass Yellow, Vegan Leather and 20" Bright AT wheels

    Bye bye Compass Yellow. I must say, I have received so many compliments about the color, I cannot tell you. As many of you know, there are still many people who have not heard about Rivian. Who makes it, what is it, etc? So, every once in a while, I would get asked that question...
  16. Great Tips on Tire Wear In Conserve Mode + OEM Warranty Coverage?

    Shouldn't matter, I have the same setup, and after 16,000 miles, I may go another 5000 or so. I drive in the lowest setting in sport mode.
