  1. No Driver+ mapping on 5 Freeway through Sacramento???

    This feature sounds dumb. Why can’t it sort it out?
  2. Efficiency / range at 80 mph?

    If you drive 2 hours at 80mph vs 70- you save 20 minutes. Each time you stop to charge has charging overhead time (time it takes to get off highway, get connected to charger, etc). On a short, one charge trip, faster to speed. On a multi charge day trip, faster to slow down. Just depends how far...
  3. No Driver+ mapping on 5 Freeway through Sacramento???

    Watched Tesla AI day presentation last night where it talked about the complexity of mapping and making split second decisions for FSD. Cool stuff. Rivian will never match their technology. It’s so deeply entrenched in new language coding. Nothing off the shelf can provide that currently.
  4. From Tony End of September Email Delivery Update!

    The self-righteousness in this forum is unreal. This reads like the Tesla delivery forum: “Waahhh waHhh” I was promised a date and it got pushed back again. They clearly are trying to improve while streamlining the process and keep the bottom line in check. They are running a huge deficit and...
  5. 100 mile R1T Review. (Raptor / Tesla P85D Comparison)

    Reading this seems to match my thoughts about what it would be like to own a Rivian vs a Tesla. I didn’t like the steering feel or throttle feel either. GUI was underwhelming but it’s also early in development so that gets a pass. I hate noises and rattles. That alone would sway me to look...
  6. Took the R1S into the dirt today. What color is it?

    I got the green part right. Ill take half of my winnings, please. :)
  7. Took the R1S into the dirt today. What color is it?

    I’m going with “Forest Green for $400”
  8. Sand Mode is Awesome

    Me neither. I think slowly shifting front wheels back and forth and giving it a few runs is all it takes. A little throttle to keep forward progression. At some point, there’s enough sand packed in to the wheel well that it pushes forward.
  9. Sand Mode is Awesome

    Reminds me of this. Enjoy.
  10. Shattered Rear Window - R1T

    Thumb nail over the impact point. If glass is missing there, a rock or something hit it. If smooth, then something else. I’m betting impact and you have to shell out for replacement.
  11. Another car towing report -- pulling trailer with R1T on 21s

    What sort of deterrence could you use when dropping the trailer so it’s “safe”? I’ve chained the wheel before but that’s annoying and a hassle. Just a chain draped through and locked to the frame would prevent them getting too far. I like how Tesla app I can view live sentry data so when I...
  12. R1S Quirks and Features - Coming soon (Doug Demuro review)

    He looks like a chubby Quintin Tarantino. Hahahaha
  13. Oru Designs Camper

    Hotel rooms are cheaper. Anything more than a RTT you really should be in a full-size truck with a camper trailer.
  14. Did you have weights attached to wheels too?

    The yellow dot on the tires should be aligned with the valve stem. Most shop techs don’t know this or don’t care. Manufacture determines that is the place to offset the weight of the valve stem. If not aligned, it’ll cause need for weight elsewhere. Albeit, weights will still always be...
  15. Would You Have Your Windshield Replaced for this Defect?

    My tint shop left a small piece like that in windshield tint. I didn’t notice it after 2 days. Still don’t. Only when I clean the windshield do I see it now.
  16. Snow Tires for the 21s (and chains and socks)

    Which would mean 1/2 your available Payload (which includes passenger weight) is cut. Otherwise, fine to use
  17. Snow Tires for the 21s (and chains and socks)

    Looks like this has a lower weight rating at 113 rather than 115. If you’re not maxing out payload, it should be OK but is not recommended. Given its a winter tire, I’m sure you won’t be near max GVWR.
  18. Snow Tires for the 21s (and chains and socks)

    The key is making sure you have the same load rating. Being off a marginal percentage in size/diameter won’t be a big deal long term.
