MDY first. It's a big jump from small-cap to large-cap!

A while back, I was charging my R1T at a charger in a Walmart parking lot. It was quite busy, with multiple people waiting for a shot at the juice. Down the row from me, some guy (plugged in and charging) popped his hood (I forget what model vehicle he had) and started messing with something...

Good luck! I sure hope it's covered by warranty--I suspect this will not be an easy or cheap fix. It's gotta be painful, watching her get hauled off like that to an unknown fate! Let's hope it's an easy and quick repair.

Yeah, I did see that and am impressed by it on a technical level. I'm comfortable saving the money and just saying "dammit, I can't get this to work; here, you know what you're doing" on the occasions the hose becomes necessary. I'd definitely pop for the reel if we did routine off-roading and...

Wild guess: some sort of leakage from the suspension. It sounds the way I would imagine it sounding if the pneumatics were trying to fill while air was escaping. Just spitballing. But I do think it's worth a visit to a Service Center. Let us know what they say! Now I'm super curious.

My beloved is underwhelmed by the air pump since its use results in my having to ask her to re-fold the hose. (We thought that sort of thing was gone when the folding of paper maps ceased being a thing.) What impresses her is the ability to pull greater than one g of acceleration on the highway...

Apparently, Rivian has a "marriage fixture"--perhaps that would help? https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/r2-photo-from-rj-r2-battery-propulsion-and-chassis-in-marriage-fixture-before-assembly-to-the-body-in-our-ca-pilot-line.48232/

And now I know whom to call to do my next shoulder surgery! Clearly, someone with the intelligence and judgment needed to own a Rivian is just the sort I want wobbling my giblets!

Yeah--boat nerds! :rock: It _is_ an interesting correlation. My visit to Stockholm was part of a larger trip that started in Helsinki and included a drive up to Rovaniemi, Finland so I could experience the Summer Solstice on the Arctic Circle--I really missed my R1T on that drive. From there...

I was visiting the Vasa museum, in Stockholm, Sweden last week and spotted someone in front of me with a Rivian backpack. I didn't shout "hey, Rivian dude!" and the wearer vanished into the crowd. I now regret not being a bit more proactive! Just wondering if it was someone else on this forum...

Great to know! Bonus, you're close to one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants. Almost makes me _want_ a calibration.

There's a part of me that just started heading for the door to begin the 800 mile drive! Then I remembered that my wife is currently driving the R1T. So, some other time. But it's on the list!

Cite it in terms of the BED--the "banana equivalent dose." (Yes, that's a real thing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose ) And then spin a conspiracy theory about Compass Yellow R1Ts (like mine) being banana-colored because of a higher concentration of potassium-40.

I betcha I could find a way to troll a whole bunch of people into panicking about radon accumulation in their Rivian cabs. But that would be wrong of me.

Thanks for saving me a google. I thought it was a goth sex thing. Hmmm...now that I think about it...

They're selling for a bit under $10.00 on Amazon, but in limited colors. I picked up two Matchbox R1Ts a while back. But they were only available in green and my (full-size) truck is yellow. One of these days, I'll sit down with a teeny tiny brush and a tube of touch-up paint and will address...

Magnificent! Did you bring enough to share with the rest of the class?

Not sure what tells me more about this dude: that he's playing a video game while driving or that he's driving a CT while driving. https://bsky.app/profile/cooperlund.online/post/3lpyoutyqas2v

Thanks for that link!
