I don’t really get the Adventure vehicle needs a radio argument. First off a significant portion of people in these forums clearly want a rolling AI butler and will never leave the pavement. For the rest of us, we can probably cope without espn radio, 25 channels of mariachi, god and politics...
For many folks in many situations yes. My personal experience over the years driving in the Sierras (in deep snow, blizzard conditions at times) has been that I have been ok without chains. Anything that my R1S in 3PMSF can’t handle is basically so bad I would just not go out in it.. That...
Any updates or additional R1 owners running these tires with some feedback to share? These look like a good option as I get ready to swap out my factory Pirellis - Discount Tire rates them 4/5 on their EV range “gauge” but no idea whether that’s based on real world testing or just manufacturer...
I feel like a strap around the rim and mount on one of the wheels like most racks have would be a nice peace of mind addition in the event the bike squirms out of those vices. That said my Kuat rack seemed kind of flimsy to me too when I first got it but in thousands of miles of trips it’s...
Had my Grizzl-e for three years now and it’s been flawless. I see they also offer a NACS plug on their Classic Connect unit now so that would be my recommendation.
Maybe it’s just me being jaded from a long career in sales and customer service but I sniffed this whole thing out in the very first post. I’d like to say it’s a generational thing but the entitled customer who thinks they are owed something way beyond and above being made whole is a species...
I think it was around that same time or maybe 2021 when my son looked at the pump as I was close to finished filling up my Lexus GX and exclaimed $88!!!
I’d be super frustrated if that happened to me. Oil, brakes are easy to check and proactively replace. 12V batteries on most cars give some warning signs before they die. I’d be all for some sort of battery health gauge and warning to get it replaced - at least it’s possible as Rivian has...
One way to think about it is the maintenance issues with a Rivian are just different than other cars. $700 a year for a battery is less than oil and filters on my former SUVs and that’s not even getting to brakes. Based on your experience, if it were me, I would keep the Rivian.
It’s been a while and my memory is fuzzy but I feel like Tesla launched versions of the 3 and Y priced for mass adoption pretty quickly. They also hyped and talked about those models and price points. If Rivian just rolls out a $60K+ R2 (which is about 10ak less than the R1 preorders ) with...
Not sure posting it here will help but it would be super nice if people leaving Mammoth in the morning would limit their sessions at the RAN in Bishop to what they actually need to continue their trip as opposed to disappearing for over an hour to grab breakfast in town or whatever is going on...
I plan to keep my 2023 R1S for as long as it keeps going without becoming a money pit. I may gift it to a kid and get something smaller is the only other consideration but that’s several years off.
I had a rear shock fail and it wasn’t covered due to signs of a prior impact of some sort. I haven’t done anything rough but then again it’s possible to blow out a shock on or off road just going a little too fast over an immovable object such as a rock or curb.
I am hoping some folks...
