  1. Google maps WTF

    Well Barnum, you are lucky! I've had the Amazon drivers show me their ap with the incorrect coordinates, showing my neighbor's house for my packages. I canceled prime and I'll order from anyone else if I can find what I need as Amazon's (the Big A) success rate at delivering correctly was...
  2. Tesla Warns: “Windshield Replacement in a Cybertruck is Quite an Invasive Surgery. Many Parts, Old Windshield Sawed Out Of Frame"

    I guess if your windshield cracks on your cyber truck it's time to replace the vehicle? Once insurance gets involved with these repairs, rates will skyrocket and they probably will exclude cracked windshields from being covered. Of course there is already the thread talking about insurance...
  3. Google maps WTF

    If Amazon can't get a package delivered to my front door, why would I expect Alexa to give me accurate driving directions? I've asked the Amazon drivers why they can't get the address right (besides the fact they are a bunch of boneheads, the numbers on my house are huge) they tell me that...
  4. New RMaxx Extreme Duty Light Weight Aluminum Front Bumper for Rivian R1T / R1S, BOLT-ON, NO-MODS/CUTTING!

    Thanks for the info. I asked my question based on the number of posts about Rivian charging people who had rock sliders installed. I also know the sensors in the bumper are delicate and can fail if not handled with care. I've had other vehicles with modifications where the stealerships try to...
  5. New RMaxx Extreme Duty Light Weight Aluminum Front Bumper for Rivian R1T / R1S, BOLT-ON, NO-MODS/CUTTING!

    Is reclibration of sensors required? If so will Rivian even touch this product? Have you investigated how Rivian will react to warranty service any time they need to work in the front bumper area? I'm asking because of the mixed reaction service centers have had to aftermarket running...
  6. Different rules for humans and robots? Atlanta PD says court system cannot process citations for Waymo

    Oh you mean prosecute executives like the Sackler family has been prosecuted for their drug dealing? As I recall the Sacklers were selling massive quantities of fentanyl which killed thousands of people, and then the Saklers moved the profits offshore and have yet to pay any real damages! Most...
  7. Rivian needs more destination stops a la Tesla diner

    There is only one RAN charger in all of Idaho and it isn't close to any adventure destination, last I checked; so before investing in ancillary services I hope Rivian invests in more chargers. I'm sure the people in Montana and Wyoming would agree?
  8. Repairing a scratch

    By far better than the touchup pens from Rivian, try Dr Colorchip. Dr Colorchip will match the vehicle color and the results are undetectable. I've used their products on several vehicles with great results. Their stuff works really well for road rash chips you get, but it can also help with...
  9. Installing a VHF/UHF Radio in a 2025 R1S

    Can you run the cable through the back hatch? I had a FJ Cruiser and I ran the cale in through the back hatch. I just let the cable and weaterstrip compress together. With the short run, I think I used RG58 so the cable diameter was small.
  10. Home charging units

    Since your panel is maxed out you might want to look at the Emporia device. It can monitor the load in your panel and reduce the charge current going to your EV when you have other loads maxing out your panel. Their charger can be hard wired or plug-in so you have options. I like their ap. I...
  11. Rivian alignment only done through Rivian?

    I find it amusing that people think there is a separate adjustment for different ride heights. There is only 1 tie rod assembly and one set of ball joints and bushings so I'm not sure how you would adjust for different ride heights? I could see checking to make sure after adjustments are made...
  12. 2023 R1T winter tire in BC Canada.

    One advantage to consider with 2 sets of wheels is the avoided strain on the tires being stretched over the rims twice a year if you only have one set of wheels. I've had issues with sidewalls cracking and tread separation on tires that get changed twice a year. I find that the tires end up...
  13. Gen 1 vs gen 2 charging performance

    My wife and I take the extra time to walk around and enjoy the slightly slower charging pace when on a road trip, so the slower speed doesn't bother us. It is considered healthier to take longer breaks from sitting, so we see it as a net benefit. As we get older we've found that we feel better...
  14. Steering issues - pulling left, pulling right, poor steering wheel alignment.

    I used to have a Toyota FJ Cruiser. I never felt comfortable with the steering regardless of tires, wheels, or suspension changes I made. I actually found the big Mickey Thompson tires were the best tracking tires out of all the different tires I had on the FJ. The OEM tires were the worst...
  15. Discount Tire failed to use jack pucks

    I've had Discount Tire screw up so much stuff I won't let them touch my vehicles. I've watched them hang the brake calipers off the brake hoses (a big no no), I've had them rip the boots on my steering rack because they were too lazy to remove the clamps before adjusting the toe-in, I've had...
  16. Got T-boned, Totaled or repairable?

    Gen 2 Quad will be released in 5 days...... We know why your wife wiped out the side of your R1S! :D
  17. Finding Campsites for R1s

    The homeless in CA must be better off than I thought if they can afford a Rivian :CWL:! I'd ask for forgiveness instead of permission. I don't think a lot of people will bother you to make sure you don't Homestead the property. With the DOGE cuts, I have a feeling the National Parks will be...
  18. Misreading Trucks in other lanes - Highway Assist & Adaptive Cruise Control

    I agree with dirty sensors. I just did a leg of over 1000 miles. Early in the trip we got bug washed by a thousand flying insects which caused the ACC to do odd things, including slowing for phantom vehicles. I was also getting a system fault ACC canceled messages. Half way through the trip...
  19. Amazed at R1T accident survivability!

    Quick physics lesson, remember "for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction"? I believe there is a Myth Busters episode that covers this very subject. Just because the R1T is the heavier vehicle doesn't mean it puts more of the impact inertia into the other vehicle. My guess...
