  1. Rivian now selling pollution indulgences

    There have been reports that it's number 1 globally, others that it's #2. (And the EPA is largely captured by industry so not an independent source.) Whether it's 1 or 2, point is it is rarely even discussed compared to transportation and fossil fuels generally, despite being just as important...
  2. Rivian now selling pollution indulgences

    They're called Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations. (CAFOs). I'm talking about reality, not a fantasy world. We cut down rain forests for pasture land. And "grass fed" cows still produce methane. Nevermind that virtually nobody actually consumes grass fed. "Grass fed beef" is promoted by...
  3. Rivian now selling pollution indulgences

    I was about to say the same thing. And we now spend a trillion dollars a year on the military industrial complex.
  4. Rivian now selling pollution indulgences

    We'll never be serious about dealing with the climate crisis until we end animal agriculture. It's the single biggest impact globally and yet rarely even gets mentioned.
  5. Is anyone else as pissed off/frustrated at having to pay for the reinforced underbody just because I need the 20” wheels?

    Get shop access and find or wait for a Launch Edition you like with 20" for no extra cost (as long as it's not one with the "AT package"). This is what I did. Mine has the RUS too for +$2000, but not all do. I was cool with that as I kinda wanted it anyway. Still a great deal what with getting...
  6. Rivian Update 2023.30.00 - One-Touch Garage Door Opener, Nav Enhancements, Text Address Sharing From Phone To Vehicle, EVgo Autocharge+ Support & More

    I got notice of an update a few days ago. I wasn't able to do it at the time. Now since yesterday I check for updates and it says I'm up to date, but I'm still on 2023.26.0. Not sure what to do.
  7. Got down to zero range remaining. Is there a “buffer” reserve after 0 miles of range?

    I drove 160+ miles home with a fridge and a washer/dryer strapped in the back a few days ago (tailgate down). Originally it said I would have 80-90 miles left upon arrival so I wasn't worried, was driving normally. I only noticed range was dropping very fast about half way back and reduced my...
  8. The first (and only) Aero Spoke Inserts for Rivian R1T / R1S 20" All-Terrain Wheels!

    I did one test in All purpose/standard, and another in Sport/lowest. (This all took me a little over 2 hours altogether.) Obviously lower is going to have better efficiency but that is not the takeaway here. I got worse efficiency with the Aeros on both tests. Overall 2% worse and 1% worse...
  9. The first (and only) Aero Spoke Inserts for Rivian R1T / R1S 20" All-Terrain Wheels!

    Sport, lowest, stiff, 73° outside, AC off. Battery charged to 60%. I reset the trip meter when I got into the highway at 70mph. Drove a loop and returned to the charger.
  10. The first (and only) Aero Spoke Inserts for Rivian R1T / R1S 20" All-Terrain Wheels!

    All purpose, standard, soft, 75° outside, AC on 73° lowest setting. Battery charged to 60% before first run and then again after each test. I reset the trip meter when I got into the highway at 70mph. Drove a loop and returned to the charger.
  11. The first (and only) Aero Spoke Inserts for Rivian R1T / R1S 20" All-Terrain Wheels!

    This kinda lines up with my original test I posted about above. I'm quite busy but I'm hopefully going to find time to try again soon.
  12. The first (and only) Aero Spoke Inserts for Rivian R1T / R1S 20" All-Terrain Wheels!

    A controlled test at a set speed and conditions, temperature, battery %, distance, wind, etc seems better than over 100s or a couple thousand miles of general usage because the latter will potentially have far greater variation. Like in my case I might be towing and or going off road for some...
  13. The first (and only) Aero Spoke Inserts for Rivian R1T / R1S 20" All-Terrain Wheels!

    Weird I thought an extra was included intentionally, thought I vaguely remember reading that somewhere. Good thing as I needed it on day 2. No more have come off since fortunately.
  14. The first (and only) Aero Spoke Inserts for Rivian R1T / R1S 20" All-Terrain Wheels!

    Have you gone around and checked they are all pressed in fully? I lost one within the first couple days and no more in ten days since, even with some very aggressive driving (sport, lowest, stiff, fast around curves etc). ? I'm wondering if some might have slight defects in the clips or...
  15. Scorpion AS+ tire swap (from 20" Scorpion AT) - WOW big difference

    Looks great. I only have 650 miles on my truck and ATs so far and they're very impressive but I'm leaning towards making this same swap sooner rather than later. I really want to see how it handles the curves without these chunky tires to fight against.
  16. The first (and only) Aero Spoke Inserts for Rivian R1T / R1S 20" All-Terrain Wheels!

    I think the most likely possibility is that the vibration from the road combined with the wheel spinning caused one to come loose and pop off.
  17. The first (and only) Aero Spoke Inserts for Rivian R1T / R1S 20" All-Terrain Wheels!

    It was definitely not stolen. I had them on, drove 30 miles or so on a curvy rural road with zero other vehicles, then it was missing. The good thing that I can report is that I have not lost another one (yet), though I did more similar fast curvy driving on the same road a couple more times...
  18. Is +20% Range worth +10% Cost and shift from Quad to Dual?

    As someone who really wanted Max Pack, but finally got my perfect Quad Large from the shop, I would say that if you are on early pricing the only reason to go dual is for Max. At the end of the day I decided to the value of the Launch Edition Quad Large I found in the shop was too good to pass...
  19. ?️ [Updated Delivery Estimate Windows Announced!-- 4/28/23] Happy updated delivery estimate window week!

    I got mine with an Oregon address, and will be self registering in Montana. NM is not on the self registering list, so check with your guide - but you should be good.
