As mentioned the Goodyear territory gets great reviews for looks, ride, and noise. IMO the Michelin defender all season is the best all around tire there is. It is whisper quiet, long lasting, performs great in all conditions, and eats miles. It isn't cheap and it doesnt look as cool as others...

Lots of recommendations in the tire forum for replacements. You need to know what you want. Low noise? off road? All season? Winter? price? lifespan?

Probably too late to have my R1S done. I have always been interested in it because I am growing tired of the jetseal and wax I have always used. It has great results, but no time these days to even hand wash more than a couple of times in the summer and need to do autowash in the winter. I...

I think the thread cited will be a good one for you to look at. IMO it depends on the type of parent and family you are. I have two boys, a daughter, and a Labrador...and we are a "large" family with me bring 6'4" and the kids not far behind on size. We have always had SUVs and loved them with...

Coming in here to recommend the Autel Maxicharger. I have had it since 2022 and it has never failed me and I would buy another one tomorrow. Some points I would make about it: Often on sale at Amazon, middle of the road pricing Looks good, colors available Hardwired or plug in available. Also...

Yea, you also aren't able to turn off ABS. They aren't going to spend the time and effort creating workarounds to disable every feature. I would also argue that while you can technically not have regen with 100% battery on the Gen 1, you still have the simulated braking on the Gen 1 at 100%...

Looks like Tesla stole my idea with "charging badges" haha.... oh well https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-gamifies-supercharging-with-new-charging-passport/

Shout out to the new Sterling Service Center in Arcola. I dropped our R1S there for the 30k mile maintenance, to fix an ultrasonic sensor that was "Falling into" the bumper (not Rivian's fault), and for a tire rotation. I had been waiting for nearly a year on the sensor, so I didn't have to take...

Well, I'm able to do that now with Alexa. Our two favorite routines are to turn off all the lights and lock the front door with "Alexa, everyone is leaving the house" and also to say "Alexa, preheat the upper oven to warm" about 5 minutes out on the way home with pizza :) I'm hoping when they...

ah! ok, I got it now. haha, oh well

So did anyone notice the button she pushed on the menu to kill the lights on the house? I do this often using Alexa as a voice command for smart items in our house, but never pushed a button on that menu to do it and I see that is a placeholder in my menu. I ask because I wonder if we just saw...

Shareholder letter is out. Actually pretty good... https://downloads.ctfassets.net/2md5qhoeajym/36nGbthdeQ234qcaMZ1dRq/49b7d49a0244f995c9600ea2bdfcf3d8/EX_-_99.2_3Q25_Shareholder_Letter_Final.pdf 10,720 vehicles at its Normal, Illinois plant delivered 13,201 Revenue up Big software...

All of these people new to Rivian getting their deliveries ....

The resistive heater in Gen 1 and the heat pump in Gen 2 both are powered by the HV battery. They use too much power for the 12v battery, doesn't matter if it is plugged in or not. While it is plugged in the HV battery will be replenished as it is used.

I think it is funny I have a NACS to CCS adapter in my R1S and when we get our R2 we will probably wind up getting a CCS to NACS adapter for that one.

NIce. We make it down there from Loudoun county a couple of times a year. Haven't had the chance to use any of the tesla chargers at the Sheetz stations on 29 since the down and back is so short.

Let me get one thing straight here... it's the year 2025 and people still isten to satellite radio?

Wait, there is some confusion here... OP, you said Costco doesn't have the defenders in the "HL" rating. What rating are you talking about? There used to be the 119 load rating for heavy trucks and there used to bet he 115 load rating. Then last February Michelin came out with the 116 load...

There is a great term for this called "Jaqing" and a better one where someone is "Jaqing off" meaning they are just asking questions to undermine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Asking_Questions It is amazing how many people still haven't heard of Rivian, but then I step out of MY bubble...

Tesla now redesigning. Rivian needs to stay FAR away from any of this. They don't need people that only read headlines associating them with this issue... https://www.theverge.com/news/780744/tesla-redesigning-passenger-trapping-door-handles
