Shipping them to the service centers is just dumb to me. If I bring my truck in to have 22s swapped for 20s for the winter, are they going to store my 22s until spring? No, you'll just take them with you. Offer shipping to my house for a fee if it's a money thing.
I think I'd want the option to have regen and no regen. No regen would be preferred for me in icy conditions (which I get a lot), unless the throttle control gives me really, really fine control over the regen's engagement.
Any chance you can get a picture with the door open, showing some of the yellow on the outside and OC interior, all in the same shot. I've been considering that combination, but I'm just not sold yet.
Loving the yellow more with each new picture that comes out.
Give me a beefy single compressor that I can run air tools on, and I'd be quite happy.
I have issues with the rear brakes. Seeing those nice beefy 6-piston calipers on the front and those sad-looking single-piston calipers on the back just doesn't work for me aesthetically. Function might be...
Maybe lube the door seals to help? Honda's Shin-Etsu silicon grease is really good. Generally good to keep your seals lubed regularly anyway on most all vehicles.
I've had most of the colors offered on other vehicles previously, and yellow was by far the best in my experience, followed by silver. In my area at least, white is horrible if driven in the rain, and we get a lot of rain. Dark gray (El Cap) was good for rain/road spray, but bad for...
I wonder if the big blunt back end of the R1S would make towing a trailer more efficient than the R1T, allowing the trailer to better tuck into the SUV's slipstream? The R1T's flow looks a lot like a sleek hatchback off the rear, and while impressive, I wonder how much it hurts towing.
All first model-year vehicles suffer an early hit as there is no precedent set for trade-in value, so these companies make extra-low offers in hopes they can make a buck while the customer can't refute the offer with things like KBB, NADA, etc.
The 21" and 22" OEM tires both have 'A' temperature ratings while the 20" tire has a 'B' temperature rating. So, Pirelli doesn't think the 20" A/T tire will hold up as well in the heat...
I'll get 20" wheels and downsize to a 275/60-20 tire to maximize range.
I suspect you'll do your actual configuration right before the vehicle is to be built. Until then, you're stuck with the "Visualize" feature on the Rivian website.
There are a lot of parts available in Australia, but the left-hand drive parts that are US-specific will be the biggest challenge. Interior parts, bumpers, lights, etc. Even so, I have an old Supra where NOTHING is available, so the Holden thing is still workable so long as people keep the...
Can you find that? I've looked before and there's nothing that I could find. The Magnuson-Moss Act was the closest to providing anything useful, but I can't find a thing requiring parts beyond that.
I'm guessing the Adv is for Adventure. Wonder if they have a different code for Launch Editions or not?
I'm assuming so, so I find it odd that they're already doing R1S Adventure builds.
It was purchased and serviced through Chevrolet dealerships as Holden was a GM subsidiary. Mechanically, there aren't many issues as most of the drivetrain is shared with Corvettes and higher-end Camaro trims, but interior bits, or body parts get tricky in a hurry. GM didn't find us worth the...
As the driver of a car from the recently defunct Holden brand (Australian), I'll be the contrarian here. While somebody might buy the physical and intellectual property, there's nothing saying they have to do anything to benefit existing owners. No software updates, no parts availability, no...
I feel like one of the manufacturing videos mentioned that the body was attached to the frame via adhesive as well to increase rigidity. Pretty sure that would make it even more difficult to separate.
