Don't most metro news networks have simulcast on the internet? that you could stream from your phone via Bluetooth (TV station's app or webpage)? And both iOS and Android have native weather apps. Plus, Rivian Assistant will have weather through a future update (allegedly). And yah, everything...
Not only unfair it's a given that AT category of tires are inherently louder than AS. It's harmonics from those wider and deeper tread gaps. MTs are even louder for same reason.
The phenomenon is the same as those singing roads, created by cutting grooves into the road surface. Gaps lead to...
And for those needing LT AT, but better on-pavement manners than the Pirelli AT, user reports on the 52 lb LT Bridgestone Dueler Ascent look very promising. Maybe slightly better than the top pick of Toyo OC ATIII EV. Cheaper too by about $80-ish.
I don’t listen to radio. Haven’t for ages. And what I did listen to (NPR/Marketplace) has long moved to offering their content in podcast form. I wouldn’t miss FM at all. FM or AM, as long as there are alternative means for emergency broadcasts, I don’t see a problem in them being phased out...
If it’s anything like R1, Gear Guard recordings are saved to internal storage, and can be transferred to external USB-C storage for viewing/transfer elsewhere. 4 year old video on GG:

Soft reset aka infotainment reset. This is a charging and sleep cycle issue, not related to infotainment. You need a hard reset. Hard reset also include a diagnostic log capture. So if you end up engaging Service/Support, be sure to mention it so they can look for the captured data in their...
Understandably so and wise. Lots of things can change in the business landscape in two years. And, even from week to week; as we all witnessed since last November. It's impossible for him to say anything and not have it get twisted into "but you promised". In another thread, someone has already...
Good advice. However, not everyone can charge at home or get by daily/weekly with 50~60% SOC. So I think the matter of "best practices" is more nuanced than any one single rule/practice. In that context, I think it's easier to advise EV owners on what they mustn't do and leave the rest to...
Well, I thought it's better for you (and anyone else) to see a verified source, as opposed to taking my word. Plus, RR is a great resource for owners and would-be owners.
So does running it down to 7%. General consensus is to play between 20-80% as much as possible isn’t it? Not that going over or below would instantly cause irreparable harm. Just that larger charge deltas, frequently, add up to full cycles sooner? Engineering Explained videos on NMC and LFP do’s...
I would like to see actual proof where anyone at Rivian said R2 would get the company to positive territory before 2028. As I recall, they only said it is the model line that would get them there. They never said when. It sure looks like personal opinion is being misrepresented as Rivian’s...

I just stumbled into a new, or at least new-to-me, jack pad from Maxtrax. It's designed to mate with their Mk2, XTREME or Lite traction boards, and from a stable platform for jacks. It has a indentation for the Hi-Lift jack's rectangular footprint, which should also work with some bottle jacks...

A few reviews I skimmed said the same thing about the halos... that it will probablly take some learning to "click" without accidentally rotate at the same time. Just from looking at images, this accidental rotation could probably be avoided if your hands are being enough that you brace the...
