Doesn’t mean a hitch or hitch mounted device should be used for such reasons. It only demonstrates the cars that hit it was softer and sustained more damage as result. Crash a heavier or more rigid car into it, at same exact speed, the result would be reversed. Energy transfers through path of...

If longevity is what you’re after, Hankook Ion HT probably has the highest UTQG. Efficiency doesn’t appear to be its strongest. Should still be more efficient than AT. All available alternatives: https://riviantrackr.com/rivian-tire-guide/

Just don’t make it say: “therapist”. (old SNL skit)

Heh... Look closer. If no frame damage, go buy a lottery ticket. Because you got very lucky.

The new order of things in the car industry. Pioneered by Tesla. Consumers just aren't aware or used to it because they are still used to cars from legacy auto, that aren't yet for fully software-defined. And they aren't aware or haven't been exposed to it because pure EVs are aren't even 10% of...

In today's AMA, Wassym had this to say about Amazon Music native app: "We are actively working with Amazon’s team to bring owners a fully native Amazon Music app sooner than you think! While we know there is interest in YouTube Music, we don't have any updates we can share on that front just yet."

According a summary on reddit, of Wassym's AMA today, Amazon Music app is in the works and happening "sooner than you think". Since Spotify is a native app, it should work with Rivian Assistant.

I don't foresee any future US president, or congress, to allow Chinese automakers to enter the US for a long time. Not until all brands can operate and sell on a more equal footing. The economic impact, and political cost, is too great. And the big three are simply "too big to fail". I'd even...

Not talked about in nearly all owner manuals of any car, but often done at tire shops and by tow operators... The vehicles can be lifted from the lower suspension control arms, below where shocks/struts are mounted to it. These points are strong enough to support dynamic weight of vehicle when...

Plus, economy of scale, or lack of it. Not too many people actual buy and use car covers. It's inconvenient. So the potential market is small and thus a small order from Rivian to their vendor. Hence lack of per unit savings that could have been had if a larger order was placed. And in retail...

Sounds like a bug to report and for Rivian to...

Hard reset?

The noises are caused by tension in the suspension, drivetrain and brakes. Suspension geometry changes as you change height, and these changes cause wheels to want to rotate. If you were to change heights while in neutral, and stationary, you would observe them to rotate slightly. But, since...

Did software change? Pretty sure I’ve lowered in the past while parked, only to have passengers panic when they heard suspension and brakes squeak and groan in protest. There was also on-screen warning and prompt for confirmation that there are no obstructions under the truck.

There is one or two existing threads covering the Ohmmu. I’d suggest looking those up and adding to those discussions. If still under warranty, I would stick with the factory one. Otherwise, no reason not to get the Ohmmu. One of the existing threads...

If that is what happened, then the axle took some of the force. Which means the rear drive unit, mounting points and frame. So most likely totaled. At which point, video evidence would only provide relief for State Farm since they’d potentially have someone to pursue to recover whatever payout...

The biggest thing missing from the list is increasing levels of vertical integration. Less they are beholden to suppliers, mean lower cost and greater control over quality and their destiny.

It matters only what your insurance thinks. State Farm will probably call it a total.
