  1. Cargo box odyssey: Yakima Grandtour 18 w/ Rivian crossbars on R1S a solid combo!

    Missed this thread. I have an old lopro 15 that works great, I'll probably replace it soon with a grand tour 18. Details of my setup and some others here https://www.rivianforums.com/yakima-skybox-lopro-15-cargo-box-fits-on-r1s-cross-bars/
  2. Time for new tires - what is the recommended aftermarket tire for 22"?

    I know this is a thread for 22s,.but just dropped in to say a lot of us in the 20s thread are going Michelin too. There is some debate about the new Goodyear territory wranglers that look good, have a good review on noise,.and are OEM on gen 2, but they aren't the correct sidewall size (someone...
  3. 20" Inch 20" Michelin Defender LTX M/S2

    I was able to order the Michelins at my local Costco yesterday with the new January Michelin rebate. They should be in next week. They also volunteered that they just got the pucks in for the lift 3 weeks ago and are happy they don't need to ask the owners to bring their own pucks anymore...
  4. New York City in an EV-Only World

    It would sound something like this:
  5. Gaithersburg 2-3 week wait AFTER appointment.

    The Rivian SC in Northern VA was already sniffed out a few months ago. It's going to be in Sterling technically, but it is actually Arcola (near Solace brewing) which is a great location. I know a lot of the mobile and SC staff for Gaithersburg are anxious for it to open to relieve some pressure...
  6. Anyone have this charging issue in cold weather?

    It will be nice, but I think you will still have an issue with the learning curve on EVs. A lot of people don't put that much thought into refueling (ice) or charging (EV). They will still wind up at the charger with an unconditioned battery. Hopefully a majority of these cases are eliminated by...
  7. 20” All Season - Snow Chains Cables Socks Recommendations

    Yup, this is the answer. Auto socks are best and easiest anyway. Some have put chains on and risked issues, but I feel like the auto socks get you out of a name or where chains are required. If that isn't enough you should have full show or ice tires anyway. If I ever did get chains, I would...
  8. Outside Speaker location?

    I've been .meaning to put some silicone caulk in the speaker holes :) I hate that my friend's 2014 volt is quieter than my Rivian going through the neighborhood I know it isn't Rivian's fault
  9. 12v battery warranty replacement

    No phone calls here, but I do have a ticket in for a front parking sensor that is "falling into the bumper." I reported it in Sept, they rescheduled me for December 17. The date approached and they set me up with an enterprise rental instead of a loaner as requested and I heard of the 3 week SC...
  10. Brand New Single Motor R1S (big R1S fail)

    At least you were able to turtle mode your passengers to the airport and to get home, when I started reading I was worried it turned into a stranded on the road/late for a flight thing.
  11. Customizable Console Organizer (3D Print)

    But wait... It comes in Rivian blue :) My son printed it for me on his flashforces. The locks for the accessories are a little rough to engage, but love the design. The photos don't show the color well, it is a much brighter blue Edit: additional photo on seat in natural light...
  12. Southern New England - Are folks driving in the winter?

    It's probably a combination of less people going to work during holidays, less pleasant to be out in general, and less people doing road trips like they would in the summer.
  13. 20" Inch 20" Michelin Defender LTX M/S2

    The goodyear look so cool.and they seem like a performance competitor to the Michelin but I'm afraid of my family after they have endured the noise of the pirelli's. I have 275/65/20s on mine too so imm probably go with the Michelins.. maybe I can get these on my r2!
  14. A Rivian Tesla Charging Experience.

    Yea that would have been my go to as well, but might not have been a choice that came to mind in the moment.
  15. 20" Inch 20" Michelin Defender LTX M/S2

    The Goodyear's sure look cool, but the efficiency is some concern. More of a concern for me is the longevity/noise/ride which is why I'm going with the Michelin unless someone feels the Goodyear are equal in those respects
  16. My first-ever EV Road Trip! - Long post!

    Nice write up. I guess one thing I'm interested in was the conserve all the time. Was this just to get the max efficiency overall? All purpose probably would have resulted in one additional charge overall right?
  17. BYD construction site in Brazil shut over ‘slavery-like’ conditions

    Assuming it was focused on vehicles sure, but it doesn't work like that for most things. The only way to be competitive in most industries is through innovation, not through restrictions on competitors. For a country like China, they have the resources to wait you out until your own industries...
  18. BYD construction site in Brazil shut over ‘slavery-like’ conditions

    Well, I mean, tons of people buy iPhones and it is pretty well documented how the workers are treated there even though Apple has a standard they want their manufacturers to adhere to. A relative of mine was in the plastics manufacturing industry for years and traveled to China and Thailand...
  19. Cooking Xmas Dinner While Driving UPDATED

    So if you look on the above or sous vide forums on reddit they have a now classic design of getting Coleman catering coolers and modding them. They are insulated so take very little energy for the sous vide machine to work and have non insulated lids that are easy to cut through and seal to the...
