so you were doing 80-85 and surprised at the efficiency numbers you got? I am not smart enough to calculate efficiency but I know too well any car gets crap mileage/range at 80mph.

My guess is you just confirm your config (silver plus OC) and you are coming up on a build and delivery.

Casting another vote here for St George. I typically do a mountain biking trip there in the spring or fall and it would be great to have a RAN stop in that area.

I bet the loads bike racks experience on bumpy roads are pretty significant and I would lean more towards the rack flexing and the bike moving in the rack and contacting the window. The bike is clamped in by the wheels, and the tires themselves flex and deform under loads. The bikes have...

Are there cars out there with climate control on the steering wheel?

It’s weird but my R1S was fine for like a week and then the right passenger door began to “pop” and interfere with the front door. Been having to open the front first before that rear door while waiting for my service appt. It makes a heck of a bad sound and anytime someone forgets and pulls...

sure Rivian is new and still ramping up their service, and I see stories where they provide loaners and keep customers moving, but do you really want a legacy service department that charges you a grand for a “checkup” that includes opening and closing the door to ensure operability? That is...

I would not hesitate to buy Rivian again.

I know! The suspension acts up sometimes for seemingly no reason. My R1S decided to dry-hump the road at a stop light a couple days ago. Fortunately it finished before the light changed.

Typically the peak rates are going to be in the evening when your solar is not generating (no export) and everyone is home from work running appliances etc. My utility defines peak as 4-9pm. My solar array produces from roughly 10am to 4pm, which is off-peak. So if I don’t either have a...

You can also enable/disable gear guard from the app. Go to Security and Access

Nice! I just came over from a GX , really looking forward to our first ski trip in the Rivian. Will be great to hear how it goes for you this winter.

I was referring to the screen behind the wheel, which maybe could also be called the “gauge cluster” but anyways I think it should be clear now.

I would go with the 20” ATs and see how you like them. If you feel they stink you can swap for something else but my guess is they will be fine. I drive in snow and ice a lot in the winter in the Sierras and have always used ATs (Falken Wildpeak and Toyo Open Country) and they have performed...

I was charging next to a Lyric owner a couple days ago at an EVgo L3 station and he was telling all about software bugs, no frunk, and poor charging speeds. He said watch, in a few minutes it will drop to lower than level 2 speeds and sure enough I watched the kW drop all the way down to 4 kW...

Camera based speed limit recognition probably will never work since there is no consistency to how speed limits are displayed. In CA you can drive on the interstate and see several different forms of signage indicating speed limits for special vehicle classes such as trailers and trucks. In...

Took our first road trip in the R1S over the weekend. Truck is on 2023.34.0 and abut a month old. I used ACC a lot driving through SoCal up to the central coast area and then back again. I had one OMG moment in LA when traffic was stopped ahead and initially the R1S was keying off the car...

I drove my wife’s e-tron SUV after my first few weeks in the R1S and definitely noticed how smooth it is at coasting - so I agree that is the one thing that jumped out at me that Audi has pretty dialed (I think their Adaptive cruise control is best in class also but that’s another story and they...
