$83.44 a month through State Farm. The R1T is the most expensive vehicle on the policy, and I have home and umbrella which means I have to carry the highest available liability rates. Deductable is high (1K/2K) because the only time I would make a claim is for major damage or replacement. It...

I swap my 22 brights for 20 darks every November (doing it this weekend). Then back again in March. The SC told me the camera needs to be recalibrated for the birds-eye-view, but the only issue I noticed in this view was some dark areas near the front tires so the issue is purely cosmetic.

I highly recommend NOT using wood in any vehicle lifting scenario other than maybe a flat piece under a tire, jack, or ramp to give you a bit more lift/clearance. Sure, "it worked the last time" but I don't see a load rating on my random piece of wood... Some lift points are not perfectly...

There are a whole bunch of different factors that influence whether or not your windshield is damaged by a rock but I'm guessing being in the wrong place at the wrong time (luck) is of first order. My family has replaced 3 windshields in 8 or so years. One on my wife's '22 Wrangler (Corning...

I just tried scheduling my 22.5K service. Mostly due to some extra suspension noises. However, got this through the app: I know long waits are typical but I don't remember this on previous attempts (but it's been over a year since I've had anything done to my R1T). Now I'm wondering if it's...

I agree it could be improved a bit. To avoid this, I just make sure to change lanes before the vehicle detects the slow-down if possible.

Test drives make a lot of sense in some cases. For example, maybe you are trying to decide which mid-size crossover to buy, in which case a few probably meet your needs on paper. Or, maybe you are the type of person that gets annoyed by small things that would only be found during a drive. Or...

ICE cars in the early 90s? Whenever I hear stories like this, it reminds me of the "Sudden Unintended Acceleration" hit piece on 60 minutes in the mid 80s. The claim was that Audi 5000s had minds of their own and were causing people to have accidents, often involving running over people in the...

Good pro/con lists, they reminded me of one major factor: The ride quality. If the question was about an R1T, I'd go with a used Quad motor with no reservations. However, for the R1S, this would be tough for me. I agree that whether or not the ride quality is good enough for an individual is...

Some of the plastic interior components on the Gen2 are not painted, so you probably want to determine this before you apply any products. I have a Gen 1 and pretty much all the interior plastic is painted. For this type of issue on past vehicles, I added color matched, self-stick felt...

Choosing to pay for connect+ is your choice. As is whining about it on a public forum.

Yes, exactly. If you DIY your rotation (like I do), doing 5 is less work unless you have a way to lift the entire vehicle using the lift-points. Doing 4+spare means you only need to lift each wheel one time. If you DIY only 4 with jacks, you need two jacks and need to perform 3 partial...

If you are looking for a reason besides luck, maybe it's that EVs are on average heavier than comparable vehicles? Rivians have wider than average tires also. My only tire damage I've had to fix recently was on super wide (ICE) tires.

Adding wheel spacers reduces offset. Since most wheel options have a lower offset than Rivian (e.g. OE 48mm vs. RAM 2363 19mm) you can't correct the offset with spacers. Caliper clearance has more to do with the wheel diameter and spoke profile, which means that spacers can help here if the...

I thought it was more about having consistent handling characteristics at all four wheels

I think the hatch functionality is pretty cool, I didn't know about this (5:06 into video):

What? Orange is the approved color for tying down Halloween decor.

Nicely done. Some things are still DIY fixable on these complicated beasts.

I thought mine was fixed. Now it works outside the garage but not inside.
