  1. Unfortunate situation... how to charge my R1T in apartment complex?

    I would personally just budget the hour or so every 2 days to spend at a DCFC. For only 4 months, I could definitely tough that out to keep the truck. Find a gym near a DCFC and work out 3 times a week while the truck charges. Wrap up your workday doing emails and reports while you charge. Just...
  2. Uh, you're gonna need a bigger garage!

    Storing guns in the garage, in general, isn't all that common. For those that buy a 1000+ lb safe though, storing it in the garage means you don't have to try moving a half-ton safe into your house and over a floor that may not be designed to handle so much weight.
  3. Uh, you're gonna need a bigger garage!

    I measured and knew that the R1T would fit in my garage, but I didn't really envision how tight it would be in reality. With my 20x20 garage, it's really a matter of inches front to back, and I can only access the driver's side in the garage. Passengers will have to wait for me to pull out. I...
  4. Redesigning the Gear Tunnel & Refreshing the R1 line

    I think it's too much of a stretch to believe that limited communication about the tonneau fix indicates a structural redesign of the truck. I would imagine they aren't communicating because they don't have significant updates and they don't want to draw more attention to the subject by saying...
  5. SE Michigan Owners?

    When I picked up my truck in Plymouth, they told me that the engineering office will stay there but the service center is moving. So my impression is that the service center portion of their operation in Plymouth will close when the new one is up and running, which is a bummer for me living in...
  6. Rivian won't calibrate aftermarket wheels

    Agreed, that's my impression too. It's too bad they wouldn't do that for him. I was just responding to the separate notion that Rivian should support aftermarket tires in some way.
  7. Rivian won't calibrate aftermarket wheels

    Rivian really doesn't owe their customers anything in this regard. They offer 3 wheel and tire combos for different use cases and have separate calibrations for each one, and they'll even switch amongst those for you at a Service Center. You can't realistically expect them to have cals for any...
  8. Rivian won't calibrate aftermarket wheels

    I wonder if they would be willing to give you the factory 20" wheel calibration. It'd probably be a closer match than the 21" cal.
  9. Normal HVAC behavior?

    I experience the same behavior. I'm typically determined to keep it in Auto mode, so once it starts blowing cold air, I start creeping the setpoint up to keep warm. Eventually it seems to reach an equilibrium and I can leave it alone.
  10. SE Michigan Owners?

    I'm in Canton and work in Plymouth, so I'm reasonably close. Feel free to connect with me when the weather is more appropriate for the Lotus!
  11. SE Michigan Owners?

    I took delivery of my R1T at the Plymouth service center two weeks ago. Are there any members here in the Ann Arbor or Detroit areas? If anyone is down to grab a beer or coffee, post up here! I've come to like the little car meets at High Octane Cafe in Bloomfield Hills. It'd be cool to get a...
  12. R1T Ride Quality Harsh on Bumpy Surfaces

    Same for me. I'm a sports car kind of guy and thought Sport mode would be my go-to, but it isn't tuned well for rough roads. I might still like it on a smooth windy road when I'm enjoying an intentional spirited drive, but it's too harsh for daily commuting.
  13. R1T Ride Quality Harsh on Bumpy Surfaces

    If you're driving around in Sport mode all the time, that's part of the issue. It's lower and in the Stiff suspension setting and does make for an uncomfortable ride on rough streets. Here around Detroit with our roads, I wouldn't want the truck if it always rode like Sport mode, and I have a...
  14. Tire Install/Rotation Locations in Southeast Michigan

    Following, I'm in Canton MI. I'm generally a DIYer, but with a new truck under warranty and that doesn't require as much maintenance as an ICE vehicle, I'm not sure I want to buy the jack pucks right now, either.
