  1. A Beautiful Disaster — Rivian Is Not Ready for Prime Time

    One more vote for loving our Rivian. Would 100% buy it again (and already have two reservations for R2s). The Colorado Springs service center (and the Denver one where we took delivery before COS was open) have been stellar. Sorry you've had troubles, but I would (and have) unequivocally...
  2. New shoes! Nokian Outpost Tires on Rivian 22" wheels

    I had to order mine (in 20”) off amazon. Had my local discount tire install them and they damaged one of my wheels. But that’s an entire other story… -Rich
  3. New shoes! Nokian Outpost Tires on Rivian 22" wheels

    Yeah - my 20” ATs were horrible at about 15k miles and by 20k I couldn’t take it anymore. 😂 -Rich
  4. New shoes! Nokian Outpost Tires on Rivian 22" wheels

    15k miles in on mine and still super quiet. Couldn’t say that about the OEM Pirellis 🙉 -Rich
  5. New shoes! Nokian Outpost Tires on Rivian 22" wheels

    Those look awesome. We’ve had the nAT in the 20” for about 15k miles now. Love them. Fantastic in the snow. Quiet. Look great. Good in our limited off-roading. We’ve probably see about a 5% hit in efficiency versus the OEM pirellis, but totally worth it. we just passed 80% wear marker, so...
  6. Albuquerque RAN coming online today!

    Damn - missed these by a few weeks. Would have been nice on our drive from CO to AZ. -Rich
  7. Efficiency boost from 2025.10 update? Anyone else seeing this?

    Not to derail the thread, but I absolutely love them: Stellar in the snow Quiet Great wearing (have about 15k miles on them and just went past 80% using the integrated wear gauge) Look great Good off-road in the small amount I've taken them on (mainly loose gravel/baby heads on steep incline)...
  8. Efficiency boost from 2025.10 update? Anyone else seeing this?

    I'm on nATs too and religiously keep them aired up to 58psi cold. I've noticed my efficiency increase, but even before 2025.10 and for me it was tied to the weather finally warming up in Colorado (and we took a Spring Break trip to Phoenix where it was 90+). In general, my battery doesn't fall...
  9. Cybertruck Laugh of the Day [⚠️ WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS BANNED]

    You could argue that Zack with JerryRigEverything is biased towards Elon, but Jason with Engineering Explained is just an unbiased engineer who lays it out straight and in a very understandable way. Really well done video and solidified my thinking that aluminum is just a terrible material for...
  10. Cybertruck Laugh of the Day [⚠️ WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS BANNED]

    Love Engineering Explained. No way I'd buy a CyberTruck to do anything truck related - tow, offroad, etc. Too much risk with the aluminum casting. -Rich
  11. Cybertruck Laugh of the Day [⚠️ WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS BANNED]

    I guess what would worry me the most is aluminum fatigues over time. What happened to Whistlin’ Diesel is not terribly uncommon for someone who off-roads. That vertical force will create fatigue that will then lower the limit of what the CT can handle in a horizontal direction (exactly what...
  12. 1,000 mile efficiency report on Nitto Terra Grappler G3

    In my experience, you’ve gotta give the tires a while to break in. I saw a pretty major improvement on our Nokian nAT after a few thousand miles. Started off great. Went down a ton and have bounced back to equal to the stock ATs. -Rich
  13. Nokian 285/45/22 NAT tires- anyone?

    I have the nATs, but in the stock 20” size. I LOVE them. In fact, I just had to drive an hour home tonight in whiteout conditions and they were incredibly confidence inspiring. They look great. Quiet. We’ve got almost 11k miles on them and they still show 80+% remaining on the built in wear...
  14. Cybertruck Laugh of the Day [⚠️ WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS BANNED]

    Oof. This is painful to watch (and also hilarious). Lot of it is on the driver - gotta turn off traction control in that situation. -Rich
  15. 2025.06??

    Ahh - you must have the Caffeine Package versus those of us with the Sandwich Press Package. I think Wassym mentioned in one of the interviews that you all are getting a Red Bull dispenser in the future (via Apple CarPlay). -Rich
  16. Rivian now charging $.68 per kwh

    Instead of cherry-picking a single charge, I actually track the fuel (both gas and electrons) for our Rivian R1S, my wife’s LR D5 and my son’s JL Wrangler. In 32,632 miles in our Rivian, the fuel cost has been $0.088/mi. For our ICE vehicles, they average $0.196/mi. For those 32,632 miles...
  17. 2025.06??

    The logo just takes it up another level. I already gave my Williams-Sonoma one to Goodwill. -Rich
  18. 2025.06??

    I had to do a hard reset, but my panini press is working awesome now. -Rich
  19. R2 TRI-MOTOR

    I think they’ve already stated it will be <3.0sec. -Rich
