Agreed though my point was that lockers really aren't a necessity by any means as long as you have the the ability to keep your tires on the ground.

I'm not reading 20 pages of this thread to get to this point but as a former Jeep owner (will own one again in the future once the 4xe isn't stupid expensive) who has taken it off roading in a wide variety of terrain, the issue isn't differentials or wheel speed. A lot of the issue is that even...

I didn't crawl under there. Mostly because it's super cold here right now and I really don't want to do that unless I have to...

This is more than the usual clicking noise of a failing CV joint. It's a complete failure to transmit any kind of power. The failure didn't grow over time like the clicking CV joint either, it was fine then broken immediately. Yep, I did that along with getting my guide involved. As an...

Yeah...I'm not screwing around with anything that can impact the warranty of a $75k truck with a very expensive drivetrain. I pinged my guide as well so hopefully someone calls me soon lol.

Was on my way home from taking my kid to daycare and heard what sounded like a driveshaft letting go. Basically sounded like it spun off and broke. Immediately got errors for AWD unavailable and limited power followed by a good grinding sound when driving. Limped it home and requested...

It's not an option though. If it was then I'd be able to use it if I wanted...which I do want to do.

I do leatherworking too (wife says I have far too many hobbies and she's right) and the best place to get leather is buckleguy.com. Make sure you get the thinnest possible, a 2-3oz piece is going to be about 0.08-1.2mm thick. For laser cutting, you'll want vegetable tanned leather that's...

In regards to the precision, this is the perfect opportunity for overmolding onto the plastic plate. You can maintain the precision with this method. If there's a chance of offering a "blank" plate to overlay whatever the owner wants, I'd love to take you up on it as I can pretty easily lay a...

What are your key critical features and dimensions that you need the precision for? There are lots of relatively easy ways to control these features in an at home setting. I'm an engineer and have tons of experience with molding and machining of a wide variety of plastic/metal parts and do...

What about leather or alcantara wrapping the plate? Should be enough to prevent damage and provide slip resistance. That coupled with the mag safe may get you where you want to be. Can also be had in a variety of colors pretty easily. My workshop is getting set up in my new house right now but...

Not true anymore. The prices for used Teslas has cratered in the past 2 months. I found that out the hard way when I sold mine before picking up the Rivian. If I had sold mine 6 months ago I would have gotten $15k more for it. To answer the poll question, no I'm not buying a Tesla. One...

For those that did their own ceramic coatings, how much product did you use for coating your truck/SUV? I got my PPF done already but am going to DIY the ceramic part since I already have the skills and tools to do it.

Didn't know we had a MN thread! I just got my R1T delivered on NYE, loving it so far. Got PPF done at TintPros in Medina and am now set for all the crap being thrown at the front of the truck all winter long.

I can't believe Tesla people pay $15k for software that doesn't work but here we are...

Get it home isn't a problem, good thing I have a truck. :) Cutting not an issue either, I have a full woodshop with a big table saw. Definitely will plan on finding a way to reinforce it though. We get a ton of snow here so the ability to carry some load is desirable not to mention I want it...

I'm definitely going to do this. Looks like Veranda also sells a full 4x8ft sheet of this stuff for $100 so that's a cheaper option than buying individual boards. What weather stripping or seals did you use and how's the strength with a load on top? Would it be worthwhile to add some aluminum...

Are the nubs only on the rear mats? I'm only ordering fronts for now because the only ones regularly riding in the back are my daughter who's in a car seat (she's 2) and my dog who isn't on the carpet anyway.

About to order a set of mats for my truck, what's the current verdict on best option? The Weatherbeater by Husky seems to be the most cost effective option but have they improved the fit? Anyone tried the Weathertech option yet? I've had weathertech in my past cars and have never been...

I didn't even know there was a membership thing until this came out. I never assumed that connectivity would be free forever (it never is) and that every feature to come out in the future will be free (it never is) and can only assume that Rivian will follow a very Tesla style of thinking when...
