Generally 0.9 to 1.1, speed dependent. 70 on the freeway is closer to 0.9 or 0.95. 55 on back roads closer to 1.1.

Modern airliners also tend to have far less of a chance of just crapping out in the air because they are super redundant and very well engineered. Plus to get a new airplane certified for commercial use is a MASSIVE amount of testing and qualification and study. Way way way way more scrutiny...

I just don’t get it. Google maps has been the gold standard for eons, and it’s phenomenal with EVs. I don’t get why Rivian wouldn’t just skin it and call it a day. My polestar has just a re-skinned Google maps and it’s perfect, no notes. Autoroutes, handles charge predictions exceptionally well...

You’d need one helluva battery. Mine guzzles gas (jets are less efficient than props). I can easily cook off 15-20 gallons of gas in an afternoon on an active day. (30 gal tank) At a super rough 10 kWh per gallon (a gallon of gas has about 33kwh in it, a gas engine is about 30% efficient)...

There are advantages to a front charge port!

I'm not criticizing their work hours, I'm criticizing the Rivian process and communication (internally and externally). The service center says it's open til 6 pm. The door said "open 8-6". The internet said "open 8-6". This wasn’t the service guys actually working on the truck, it was the...

Yeah it was a trade in at a 3rd party (Kia) dealer. My wife to me the whole time: "who trades a Rivian for a Kia?" Came with the fob only. Manager knew his shit at least, had the R1S transfered in ownership to himself, which may or may not have sped up the transfer to me. He also took it to...

You know, now that I'm thinking about it, I should have just taken the loaner home. You get your truck back when you can properly give mine back. Dammit.

First Rivian, first service visit today. Got this pretty girl. 2023 Quad R1S in for service. 2022 Quad 2022 R1T loaner. Never driven an R1T. Meridian - slightly better than my Rivian audio, but not life changing 20" wheels with pirelli ATs at wear bars vs my 21" with brand new...

Buckle up buttercup, this is long. TLDR: 2023 Riv bought 2 months ago, took it in with a number of small but not critical issues, got basically abandoned by the service center. I've read tons of great things about the Minneapolis SC. I bought my 2023 Quad R1S 2 months ago and after I had a...

This was like a goat test...smaller than a moose, but similar. I think a moose test is a full lane deviation, and I only did a half lane deviation. Or maybe cuz I was doing 55mph at the time, it was a roadrunner test :-).

I'll never know the limits if I don't test em a little. Plus I highly value knowing how a vehicle will react in different conditions, and how I should react to it. I live in MN, so in winter I purposefully put the car into skids, fishtails, etc. when it's safe to do so, (no one else around me...

So I clipped the video last night from the road cam. I'm hesitant to post just becuase I don't want to become the posterboy for drifting my trailer, but honestly it's pretty impressive how the Rivian cameras don't show any real swaying in the truck while the trailer is doing the boogaloo in the...

lol, your profile photo is closer to how I felt after the boat went sideways. AND I've got an EV Play on the way to fix the carplay problem!

But look where the truck wheels are. I wasn't even halfway over the line. But yeah, 3500 lb trailer/boat, and it was damn near sideways...blue smoke and all. But watching the front cam just shows a gentle swerve with no chaos. Like it looks even less aggressive than what I remembered, that...

Minnesota Drift. I feel like the boat was being a bit dramatic here.

I can't figure out how to delete the thread. I wrote a long post describing a "swerve test" I did with my R1S and how I was surprised at how poorly it handled. Then I realized I have a 2TB drive in the truck. So I watched the video. Turns out my memory of the situation was amplified by my...

Is the tri predicted to be 2 motors front, 1 rear, or 2 motors rear, one front?

The day the Riv came home in mid June. Replaced an Expedition Max. (2022 Polestar 2)

Get thee a 12/120V cooler and put it in the trunk/bed and never look back :D. Just did around 8 days of adventuring with a Bodega split cooler in the back of the R1S.....it was magic.
