I'm not particularly proud of this setup but I carry _two_ of these small digital compressors for airing up my GX470: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W1W2V9M/. I power both of them from a Jackery 240 though obviously you could use the Rivian's power instead.
(For airing down I use Staun's...
I've never gotten anything other than the "suitable for framing" photo I got maybe a year into my 4 year wait. Nothing ever from my guide (just checked the app and he's still my guide <sigh>).
We went into the Rivian Seattle "Space" yesterday in U Village and they had some of the items from the...
I've never really paid attention to extended warranties but this thread got me curious. My R1S has (checking app) 10,333 miles and the quote (didn't apply discount code) was eye watering:
Curious on the mileage, I dropped mine to 9,333 and reran:
A couple of things leaped out at me: once I...
I don't think THIS example is a bias - I think it's reading the reflection in the water in the normal left wheel rut as the "white line" on the left. Look how it converges towards the car ahead rather than diverging as the double yellow does. So...yeah...in this example the left wheel of the...
That's what I thought in the past. I spent significant energy and attention trying to reconcile what I saw on that screen with what I saw IRL. Sometimes the differences were startling - like when I go through a 2 lane (one way tunnel) in the left lane and it shows a phantom lane - AND VEHICLES -...
This has been my observation as well. I take quite a few day trips over the mountains to Cle Elum / Ellensburg / Yakima / Leavenworth (we have some properties out that way) and when I selecte "Home" it always directs me to a charging stop. The latest update allowed me to delete that stop, but I...
So my pen arrived...haven't used something like this before...shake the pen and then press down until paint appears. The original poster's image looks _great_ - must have a steady hand. Any tricks to applying that I should know about?
Agree on this one - my almost 20yo GX470 backup camera is almost always usable, R1S is mostly unusable in rainy conditions (we live in PNW so that's September through April). GX also has demisters on the outside mirrors - on the R1s it's not obvious but they are tied to the rear window...
I have used "Alexa navigate to..." quite a bit. For multiple months there was an icon that allowed you to turn off the voice (SUPER annoying some times like going through roundabouts) that seems to have disappeared. I found I can quickly turn down the Alexa volume (independent of the music...
Hearing damage may actually have an upside (yes, I know that was TIC). I recently went the other way...our R1S was in for a persistent screen blanking issue and I had a (new, 14 miles on the ODO) loaner. During that period I got my first set of hearing aids during that time...when I got my R1S...
Maybe it's just me...but when i started to use D+ I felt it moved the vehicle a bit too far to the right - it felt uncomfortable when there was a large rig / semi to the right. But then it turns out that after decades of driving _I_ have drifted a bit to the left and D+ was indeed in the center...
That was interesting - had never heard of Ineos…Ratcliffe…Belstaff jackets.
So I eventually made it to Belstaff’s jackets where they have “Long Way Up” jackets and pants and even the “McGregor Pro” jacket designed by Ewan. That’s pretty cool.
I did the yellow back in late May when I mounted the running boards. My R1S is at the SC otherwise I'd post pictures, but...the yellow noticeably faded by September looking rather dingy. I assume it was from the sun and it's not even particularly sunny in the Seattle area. I also had a spot...
Cool - and where are you going to put the people and gear that were in the cargo and third row? :)
I'm kidding - not kidding. I suggest folks really think this compact spare thing through before committing. Remember, you're going to need pucks too. Personally, I went the route of a tire repair...
