  1. 21" Tire options

    Yeah, I had separate beat up rims for my Nokians.
  2. 21" Tire options

    Less impressive, but I drove my R1S with OEM 21s on twisty roads over the Middlebury Snowbowl mountain in unplowed blizzard conditions last month. I put the car in snow mode and made it up and over without sliding. More like 20-30 mph. I’ve liked Michelins on other cars and hear good things...
  3. Windshield replacement recommendations

    Safelite said they were going to order OEM glass, which is what the body shop did.
  4. Windshield replacement recommendations

    In the past when Safelite couldn’t calibrate a Tesla windshield and required a Tesla Service Center visit afterwards, I instead got a new windshield installed by a Tesla certified body shop that could do both. Last summer when my chipped R1S windshield turned into a crack overnight, Safelite...
  5. 4th crack in windshield. OMG I’m so done

    I got a chip in my R1S windshield on a road trip last summer after a year of driving. Got home, but the next morning when I headed to Safelite it had turned into a 6 inch crack so I had to get it replaced (by a Rivian certified auto body shop because Safelite didn’t have equipment for camera...
  6. “Only Driving this till I get my Rivian” - Car Magnet

    Maybe images in patent applications are not trademarked, so can be freely used? But why use that strange font?
  7. Updated Tesla Model X Coming 2025 [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    I owned an early 2016 Model X P90Ds (March 2016 delivery) for 7 1/2 years. I liked the car and falcon wing doors, as my youngest was in a car seat and later a booster. I had only one door problem, when a sensor failed and detected phantom obstacles. I had half shafts and a front motor replaced...
  8. What is up with Rivians clothing???

    I got them a while back, they seem to work well. Now I’ve just got to get around to mounting them on the brick wall in my garage…
  9. Can't get Rivian app on apple watch

    when it works it’s handy, like getting the frunk or liftgate open when your hands are full. Unfortunately about half the time my watch tries and then says it can’t do it. No idea why.
  10. Siri in my R1T, WTH!

    I use it to make phone calls and play podcasts. I used it for music before native Apple Music arrived. Rivian needs to add a way to do voice search for Apple Music - it didn’t sound as good but was much easier asking Siri to play what I wanted.
  11. Building a new house - what would you ensure was part of the plan?

    Put the heat pump water heater in the garage - it’ll cool and dehumidify it for free as it makes hot water.
  12. Trip planning with Rivian App

    Two things to check: 1) It defaults to current charge level as starting charge - you may need to edit that. 2) It defaults I think to 60 miles range on arrival - you can edit that to reduce. No idea if it or ABRP factor in temp and wind.
  13. Nice Review R1S vs Model X

    They have some facilities there, and I think they may have had corporate headquarters registered there between their start in Florida and current HQ of Irvine, CA.
  14. The Count is tempted (VINFAST)

    I'm picturing The Count in a Hyundai Ioniq N... but don't think it can handle a snowplow.
  15. Charger for R1S

    But not if it’s Romex? I think that’s what tripped me up in a conversion from NEMA 14-50 to Tesla Universal. Had to leave it at 50A breaker and 40A max charging.
  16. Charger for R1S

    You have all you need to install a Tesla Universal charger (TUWC), but you’ll have to set it to draw 40 rather than 48 amps (80% maximum for continuous loads). Still faster than a plug in charger at 32 amps, but not the max you can get out of the TUWC. However if the wire you ran is the right...
  17. Federal NEVI EV charger program cancelled

    Most of the time spent was way upstream of construction projects. The law was passed in late 2021, then federal funding and requirements had to be decided which took much of 2022 and into 2023. The states had to develop EV charging deployment plans to apply for the funding, and deployment could...
  18. Consumer Reports Reliability Rankings March 2025

    Oops - I was logged into the wrong account...
  19. Anyone have a list of Alexa commands that work?

    When are they going to enable playing Apple Music by voice? Sound isn't as good as the built-in app, but at least if I play over bluetooth I can ask Siri for music from my phone. Also does anyone else get these odd responses to navigation requests, where it gets a local destination correctly...
