  1. Rivian Announces East Coast Rivian HQ to Open in Atlanta!

    There are 34 states with lower education rankings than Mississippi.
  2. Broken roof glass was replaced with a different type of glass

    Did they give you an invoice with part numbers showing that they used approved OEM materials?
  3. 2026 Quad-Motor R1S / R1T Officially Revealed (Specs & Price)

    The bronze wheels have really grown on me. I wish it was an option color in all the sizes, as the color contrast is nice without the hideousness (personal opinion ! ) of chrome, or the lack of contrast of all-black.
  4. Rivian Announces East Coast Rivian HQ to Open in Atlanta!

    Exactly - Blackbeard even buried his treasure on that coast.
  5. Rivian Speaker scrubs in

    Good backup having the built-in lantern to serve as an emergency lighting service if you're elbow deep in something.
  6. 2025.22 Update - Official Release Notes (Now With Google Maps Navigation)

    My favorite thing about Apple Maps is that it will vibrate my watch prompting me to glance at my mounted iPhone to see that I need to prep for a turn. It's even me some pretty horrid navigation though.
  7. Rago EV, first aftermarket bumpers to be announced/shown

    Wouldn't building a trailer hitch receiver into the front and pre-wiring both ends for a winch plate that fit the receiver be a straight-forward thing for Rivian to do? They could then just let the aftermarket world handle winch offerings. Has anyone ever inspected the one winch-capable...
  8. Hands free driving on I5 for 6 hours

    That's much too fast of a pimp, and will build bad habits in drivers.
  9. Test Drove Gen 2 Quad Yesterday...

    Generally, something that can perform at a higher level than is done in everyday use will be built with better cooling, more robust parts, etc. Cost-wise though, it's more money and probably slightly less efficient than something built to *just the right amount* for the target. The important...
  10. Kick Turn Dance Moves 🕺🏻

    Edit: thinking about it some more, if viewed from how it would be put to use in a rally mode, it would really aid in having the steering wheel prepositioned for the turn exit and let the kick turn do the hard work of moving the tail around. There, it's darned hard work getting the steering...
  11. Kick Turn Dance Moves 🕺🏻

    Not having driven one, but I'd think this could have been implemented with the last bit of the steering wheel turn invoking the kick turn. This would, I'd think, make the turn a little smoother too and any forward momentum is now redirected with less slide slip required. Shrug - I'm probably...
  12. Rivian’s RAD TUNER is like an equalizer for customizing the Gen 2 Quad powertrain

    The system is meant to truly unlock and demonstrate the “breath of performance,” Bensaid said. Is that like the "breath of the wok" (wok hei), except it's the smell of burnt rubber (also intoxicating)?
  13. Watch out for potholes in your R1S

    I finally retired my 500,000 mile 1996 BMW 328 convertible when my daughter hit a pothole at night and literally ripped one front wheel off. Just too much momentum all in one spot and something had to give.
  14. Can-Am electric motorcycles join Rivian at select events

    Holy Moly. 1000 Nm torque - that's like 8x BMW HP-4, which I had to literally hang on to like my life depended on it (it did when launching it). They must be measuring it at a different point, as the HP-4 had a 0-60 of 2.9, and this is advertising 3.5. Regardless, that design is top notch.
  15. New R1S and R1T QUAD vs OLD QUAD

    I wonder if the wides will have a 20 inch wheel available eventually. (20 inch wheel club represent!)
  16. R1 Quad Launches July 8th with TANK TURN / KICK TURN!

    Maybe the constant bitching will stop then.
  17. Study: Aggressive Acceleration Good for Battery Life

    While kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the relative velocity difference, a constant coefficient of friction in stopping a vehicle with four times the kinetic energy (twice the relative velocity) will result in doubled stopping time as depletion of that energy also follows the...
  18. Got T-boned, Totaled or repairable?

    When my wife in our previous BMW X3 got simply sideswiped (though hard) by someone running a light it did less damage than this and it was totaled. That sideways impact bends important stuff.
  19. Rumor - Tank Turn to be announced on Quad Max?

    "Kick Turn should only be used by a skilled driver in an off-road environment." (humbly) Wow - custom made for me!
