  1. What is the "real" HP for Tri and quad?

    I was going for the laugh more than the math, but since you brought it up... I have a Gen2 RIS Trimotor, 850 Hp. If All Purpose is 70%, that would be .7*850=595. Then to get from 595 back to 850 is a percent increase of (850-595)/595=0.43 or 43%. In any case, enough Hp for nearly all situations.
  2. What is the "real" HP for Tri and quad?

    So when I am scaring my passengers in All Purpose mode, I should instead switch to sport and scare them 30% more. Great info, thanks.
  3. R1S Gen 2 C Pillar Dimples

    I changed my vote. Now that I know what to look for, I can see it on both sides. But it is REALLY small. I would have never seen it.
  4. R1S Gen 2 C Pillar Dimples

    I picked up my R1S Trimotor near the end of May. I am the "no" vote in the poll. I looked hard but can't find them.
  5. Study: Aggressive Acceleration Good for Battery Life

    "Simplify and add lightness". Colin Chapman OK, maybe that is not a Rivian philosophy.
  6. Study: Aggressive Acceleration Good for Battery Life

    I just read a Car and Driver review / road test on the R1T Tri motor. The acceleration numbers make me think we need to bring back the 0-100-0 test that the Cobra made famous. Any volunteers? (It's good for your battery!)
  7. What regen mode do you use?

    Standard regen, and stopping without the brakes 95% of the time.
  8. New L3 Chargers Near New River Gorge National Park

    Great to hear, thanks. I have driven (ICE) through there many times. The Tamarack Marketplace is an interesting place to wander through.
  9. Gen 2 R1S Owners

    3 weeks and 1300 miles into my first EV, R1S Tri-motor. I have read many of the reviews where folks find fault with the vehicle, but my experience is completely positive. Good delivery experience, good experience with mobile service when they installed my spare tire. Vehicle is quiet...
  10. RIVIAN Owner's Pittsburgh, PA

    Answering my own question from my May 21 post. I asked a Rivian service tech today about PA inspections and he told me DunnTire has the pucks, does inspections, has been trained, and has everything necessary to perform alignments. Dunn is mostly a Buffalo, NY outfit, but they have Erie...
  11. RIVIAN Owner's Pittsburgh, PA

    I know this is the Pittsburgh group, but is anyone in northwest PA? I am in Erie, picking up an R1S Trimotor in Cleveland next week. I have the same question as many of the new PA owners, where are you going for inspections? I know about Discount Tire, but there aren't any of them near me. Any...
