King Soopers doesn't usually have parking in front of the store, unlike a typical strip mall. So I'm finding it hard to believe this was someone just trying to park, and slammed the accelerator instead of the brake. They'd have to be driving head on into the store front at high speed for this...

Ditto, first time truck owner here as well. I couldn't even cross shop vs anything else, since nothing else met my requirements of being able to fit comfortably in my garage, while also being able to carry 4x8 sheets, was electric (ie quiet and not smelly), a blast to drive and does great off...

I transported a forest-to-be!

They've been doing quite the media blitz this past week with numerous articles/features across: CNBC The Verge MT ... I can't help but think they might've timed this to counter any fallout from the 7.5k credit sunsetting.

I've admittedly only tried out Android Auto on rental vehicles and I can see how it's good as a replacement for crappy infotainment systems, but in my case, it wasn't quite the panacea folks were making it out to be. You're still limited by the automaker's implementation. As an example, when I...

Any recommendations for extended warranty providers? Any feedback dealing with repair reimbursements would be particularly very helpful!

I wouldn't crucify them on the above point, especially when the JV's Co-CEO Wassym himself stated not too long ago that ID EVERY1 is the "first VW car" to be developed by the JV. Now we can debate the semantics of whether that means "VW branded" or "VW group", but I digress.

3 years into a Gen 1 T, and 1 year into a Gen 2 S. They were total no brainers at early preorder pricing, so it's a bit hard to measure against that bar at today's prices. Putting price aside, both vehicles are an absolute pleasure to drive. Software glitches, minor issues here and there were...

Drive well.

I found this to be an interesting read, and honestly not surprising given the graveyard of historical auto JVs. I still hope they can find a way to make it work, given R2 and Rivian's entire existence depends on it...

When are they going to open the Configurator for these? Asking for a friend...

I picked up my 2022 Gen R1T (38k miles) today after service for the tock problem at low speeds. They said they've replaced the front half shafts and hubs, and claim the replaced parts are "new and improved" and that the problem shouldn't be cropping up again. The tock sound is gone and the drive...

Why would ICE raid an ICE plant? /s

Good find. That's only 4 of them though. Curious what's the source for the "450" number?

Many things, but if I were to name just a few that get the most use, in no particular order, on our Gen1 T: powered frunk, so much easier to unload groceries with the garage door closed in the winter air compressor to reinflate tires after off-road trips gear guard cable to lock our bikes in...

When I realized I could rent some great snow tubes on the cheap from a shop just a short drive from the hill. Couldn't have done it without the T!

Thanks for the info! Correct, I meant compared to the glossy PPF, which I've done multiple times using your pieces with about a 80% or so success rate 😄. My best result was with the rear quarter panels on the R1T, which came out near-flawless. My worst one was with the tailgate, particularly...

Great write up and pics Iliya! Happy to hear the base R1S rocks at handling rough trails. The pre-cut wraps are quite tempting, how hard is it to DIY, compared to say your regular PPF, and what if one piece gets messed up during install?

This! Usually happens when a door isn't fully latched shut.
