I frequently wish we could do side-by-sides with each other's vehicles: are our vehicles actually performing differently or are we judging them differently? I wouldn't be too susprised if the quality control on a "minor" subsystem like the seat cooler allowed for lots of vehicle-to-vehicle...

Our seat coolers are utter life savers in places like that! I recall living in Tucson and having to steer with my knuckles because the steering wheel was too hot for the palms of my hands. And if I accidentally brushed a metal component that had been in the sun, like the key, it would leave a...

Mine always reads pretty accurately _but_ only after the vehicle has been in-motion for a while. The air temperature in the vicinity of a big chunk of metal sitting in sunlight is going to be much higher than the standard "in the shade" temperature in the region. The thermometer itself needs...

Just got home from a trip to Seattle from near St. Louis plus a side-trip to Vancouver, BC (something like 4500 miles total). Almost entirely used Tesla superchargers. Not a single problem making it work and not so much as a single nasty look from a Tesla driver in the entire trip. In many...

We've just boarded the ferry to cross the Puget Sound. The nav system appears to be advising an unwise route! 🤪

Same here. I'm in the midst of a very long drive (St. Louis to Seattle) and this has happened about once per day. I ignore it and it goes away.

Devil's Tower, Wyoming. If I am abducted by aliens (yes, please!), I'd like to bring my truck.

That's good to know! The SC manager clearly didn't RTFM! :rock:

I recently brought my R1T to the SC for a checkup. My tonneau was also acting up. The manager of the SC said many are doing this due to a bug in the most recent software release. The SC needs to do a recalibration to fix the issue, but it's a quick fix.

This is completely normal: there are regs that make a manufacturer liable if a driver exceeds speed limits due to a defect in the spedometer. Since any measurement instrument will have inevitable systematic errors, manufacfurers intentionally tune spedometers to read high. That way, any...

Rivian should use this image in their ads! We're about to leave on a road trip. My wife has filled the bed and the back seat. I told her "that's OK, I just need about half the gear tunnel." But, in light of this inspirational image, I think I'll add "...and the frunk--I'll need the whole frunk!"

Brilliant! And such a cutie!

Agreed--except for the caveat that lots of dogs, mine included, are Academy Award-level actors and are quite prepared to _claim_ that they are on the brink of death when what they _mean_ is "breakfast was a full _hour_ ago!" or "if I don't get my ears scratched _right now_ I shall surely...

It _is_ a distinct possibility. More likely, she'll just knock it off the window--it sure does look fun to play with! I figure no solution is perfect and if the signs get knocked off, we're no worse off than when we started. Now, if she _eats_ the sign, she gets her favorite treat: Metamucil...

My tonneau recently developed a "bounce": it would close almost completely and then reverse and re-open or it would open partially and then reverse, etc. I've seen a few other posts mentioning similar issues. The truck went in for her 22,500 mile checkup yesterday and I mentioned the issue to...

There have been several threads in which people have mentioned difficulties with well-meaning strangers who are unaware of Pet Comfort Mode. My wife and I made signs to hang in the truck's windows to address this. There are commercial ones available, but a few minutes with PhotoShop was all it...

If I were to acquire clothing to complement a Dune Rivian, I would demand a Rivian-branded stillsuit! With a Gary headband, of course.

Those are some fine kids you have! Well named.

I'd remove the "THIS" from that sentence and replace it with "A"! A _car_ in NYC?! :CWL: Easy access to the best bagels in the world (as I hide from angry responses from Montrealers) comes at a steep price.

I'm literally hanging out at my SC right now as they do my 22,500 mile routine maintenance _without_ a tire rotation (which costs extra) and that's the same as I've been quoted. I do think it's the sort of thing that ought to be folded into the warranty, but it's not out of line and I don't...
