Those are minimum tire pressures for the legal department. I run mine at 51psi cold as that would have lower rolling resistance and less sidewall flex. If I were turning laps, I would run them a little lower, like 46 cold to compensate for the heat and resultant rise in pressure.
I don’t...
Just to clarify. The scroll wheel on R1s now works just like Teslas did before Teslas lost control of speed with FSD. Scrolling up and down changes the speed. Slow scrolls in 1 mph increments, fast scrolls in 5 mph increments. Moving the scroll wheel left and right, effective changes...
A couple of weeks ago, I got flags that my radar was not working, and corner sensors were off. When I went into the service mode and accessed Ride Mode. Several of the red lined items are expected to. However, the corner radar, front right is red. It appears if any radar goes inop, the whole...
She thinks there was a 12 V warning. But apparently a lot of lights came on. Our display kept working and her hazards. The only thing I can think would be one of the low-voltage relays. Since it happened quick, it had to be contactors opening, or software.
My wife’s 2026 R1S died in the middle of the road today. Warning lights came on. She could not stop the car with the foot brake.(I suspect not strong enough without power booster). She pressed the park button, which is the emergency brake. She was able to get the hazards on. She called Rivian...
This happened to my son-in-law. Dodge charger. Alternator failed due to internal short. Got it to side of interstate and it shut down. When the service center just tried replacing the battery, before powering the car up, the alternator caught fire. That is a true NHTSA safety issue that...
I carry a spare bolt. It is relatively easy to loosen the half shaft to replace the bolt on the side of the road. I did reuse the half shaft bolt, as I knew Rivian would be replacing my bolt and the half shaft bolt. When I checked all the bolts on the front, I found some only tightened to...
42000 on 23 R1T, 6000 on 26 R1s and R1T
if there are 3 people in the back seat, there are no cup holders available for them. I would like to see a cup holder that clips on the the hook on the back of the front seats.
I have gen 2 tri and quads. On a trip to Blue ridge, with the bat temp in the 30s, going downhill, the regen quits after only a couple hundred yards,
I have noticed when the battery temp goes below 63ºF regen starts reducing. it starts falling off significantly below 58ºF. I just don’t...
Honda lost money on every 1st gen NSX, but it was a flagship car. They sold a lot of other cars as a result. I would think many people buying a Model 3, as their income grew would buy an S.
I test drove the Lucid Gravity, and it feels like an X, but with more room and better fit and finish.
Talk to the lease company. They may let you continue with yours at the current rate on a monthly basis. I was able to do that years ago, until I found my replacement. hopefully your R2 will be available in Q2.
We have a R1S and R1T. Carrying the grand baby is great. My daughter’s Model X works better for the car seat. I am in NY right now on a trip. I demoed a Lucid Gravity yesterday. Do yourself a favor and just drive a Gravity before you buy. They are much roomier and easier to get in and out...
You may want to see if they will continue the lease on a monthly basis. I did this with a car until I could find a replacement. As the R2 comes out, the price on used R1s will drop.
I am so impressed with the structural integrity of the passenger compartment. It literally was rocking on the point of the roof, yet it did not collapse. I remember the day when you roll a pickup truck, the roof would go completely flat.
This also bugs me. I tried using my truck to repair a fence at night using the headlights. I was baffled that I could not keep the headlights on, even while leaving the door open.
I got the “Take control” message going under the toll gantries. I just put my hand on the wheel, and after passing the toll, UHF continued on as normal.
I pressed my name until the event marker recorded it. My understanding is this is the equivalent of of Tesla’s “Bug report” and sends the...
UHF is now as good as FSD was in 2018. The rate of progression is exponential. They did what took Tesla 4 years in 3 months. I would not be surprised if UHF is on par with FSD in the next 6 to 9 months, especially since Rivian is using the Radar sensors as well as cameras.
I also agree. The Gen 2 now works like the Tesla fleet. They need to do the same with Gen 1s. It will make transitioning from a tesla to a Gen 1 easier, and multigenerational families more comfortable. Ironically, I am still pushing down on the stalk to engage auto pilot on my gen 2, as I...
I used a NACS to J1772 adapter from A2Z for years with my Gen 1. I have Tesla chargers in my garage. No issues. Then you are ready for the next EV no matter who manufactures it. They all are going to NACS.
As a side note, I just replaced my Tesla chargers with the Gen 4 chargers. They are...
