I'll be visiting family in New Hampshire middle of next month with our usual day trip to Portsmouth. I'm tempted to go over here if open just to check it off my RAN list haha. Is anyone familiar with the mountain pins vail used to do for skiing their resorts? You would get little digital...

In this extreme situation I would say some wheel dollies that you use in a garage would be better, or even some plastic glides under the wheels. I really think this is an extreme edge case that you are not likely to run into. How long is the Ferry ride? If it is 10 minutes and the 12v battery...

I continue to be shocked by how much "spare tire anxiety" there is in the overall car community (I've seen this same thread in the mustang forums when they came out in 2015 with sealant, an inflator, and no spare). If you're going overland I get you need a full size spare and you should put one...

I would go with the stock Rivian rack and just put accessories on them. Only reason I would probably use an aftermarket rack (meaning crossbars) would be if I had a car without a factor rail system or the crossbars couldn't handle the weight capacity I was looking for.

I'm not sure I have seen the type that are on top and a rear gate tunnel before, sounds cool, but yea, they don't have them. They do have core locks for both Thule and Yakima on sale for anyone wanting to replace the cores on their crossbars or other racks to match their cross bars...

Nice. Yup, sale is now live. Here is a link to all the racks and boxes on sale: https://www.rei.com/c/car-racks/f/scd-deals

Sometime last year someone found a piece of auto weatherstripping that fit into the top groove pretty perfectly. I don't have the thread handy, but shouldn't be too hard to find. I think the top groove causing a whistle was a r1t issue only because of the air coming off the roof to the bars over...

During one of the other discussions in the thread I mentioned the upcoming REI sale tomorrow so I thought I would mention it here. Anyone thinking about getting a cargo box (Thule or Yakima) or accessories should do so this weekend. REI is having it's anniversary sale and it is the perfect time...

Whatever you get, now is the perfect time to get something. REI is going to start their anniversary sale tomorrow and have 20% off all Thule and Yakima boxes and racks. The real deal here is that you can get the box shipped to your local REI for FREE pickup. This is a big deal because the...

My son printed out a set of four strips with your download for me. He printed them in PETG gray to sort of match the two tone of the crossbars (and because he didn't have black in PETG). Took a second to figure out I needed to push a fingernail into one end to get the strip started and then the...

I mentioned the new possibilities to my kids this afternoon and they immediately said they couldn't wait to see the Chick-fil-A app on the screen. I told him that Dad app was not set up for Android and they quickly reminded me that our Samsung phones allow mirroring to all Google cast and fire...

haha, if I told my kids to watch something on that rear screen they would look at me like I was crazy..... and then turn their attend back to their tablets or phones which both have larger screens

The satellite is 155 miles above the Earth. It can only look straight down, That''s a bit limited, isn't it?

the bug discussions always remind me of this classic Porsche poster from when I was a kid...

So I ordered one a few weeks ago to make sure I would have it or the Rivian one by our first summer road trip to New England in mid June. Pretty excited to be able to use so many more chargers from Virginia north. On the "tight fit" everyone mentions that loosens up, I wonder if "wiping" out...

I think that the "cruise control test" is a good one for conserve mode. That is, if conditions (road type, speed, weather, etc) are such that you wouldn't have a problem setting a traditional cruise control, use conserve mode. If not, it probably isn't ideal to use the conserve mode. I only...

I just saw this on Reddit and came here to tell everyone that someone had posted a 3d printed solution for this haha I have been meaning to put the tape on my bars, but haven't had time so I'll get my son to print some of these for me instead!

haha, that tracks. A shrewd business move. "So we decided to shake things up because of high costs and laziness. First, we fired 500 people saving a couple of million dollars a year and decapitating the supercharger network capability and trust. THEN we turned around and rehired the director of...

The usual go to is a rolled up towel that you close the window on. A pro move is to use a pool noodle like below which you need to tote around with you, but it is much more durable for extreme hot/cold/rain/snow/etc

Well, in Loudoun we get one assessment, but then you are provided the opportunity to pay in two installments (first half May and second half October) to the county. If in a town (which I am) we have to pay the entire town portion in May. My assessed value on my R1S delivered March 2023 was $77k...
