I do get out quite a bit, but it is always to the same places for road trips. Maybe that plays a big part. I'm routinely driving to/from Las Vegas and NorCal for work. I typically stop at the same chargers and RAN is ALWAYS more and always 60 cents or more while the Tesla (same time and...

Wow, I didn't know they will have them so close to me. It is odd though they would place them in such a highly populated area, vs in a more remote area where people are doing long road trips. Given the high price of RAN, most people would rather just use a Tesla Supercharger. I haven't...

I'm not certain if they are Rivian certified, but I'm a huge fan of Sterling Collision Center in Tustin. They specialize in high end vehicles, but they also do "normal" cars. They've done several of my vehicles throughout the years and my parents' too. Not to say I've been a ton of accidents...

Nothing exciting in a while, but a 90" couch recently. I didn't even fold down the second row since I had a child seat there and it's a pain to remove. Secured it with some straps for a 2 mile drive, patted it twice and said, "This aint going anywhere." That confirmed it was safe. "

Maybe to some degree, but something is up with mine. If I hold the hose a particular way, it doesn't cycle off at all. I could pump up a low pressure kid's bike tire (maybe 25psi) or a basketball (way less than that) and it could cycle off within the first 2 seconds until I wiggle the hose...

Does anyone else's air compressor cycle on and off all the time? It is definitely NOT related to overheating as I heard that can happen. It happens immediately after turning it on. Seems related to how perfectly straight the hose sits. If it angles even an inch the wrong way, it stops and I...

Mostly for looks probably. Maybe in certain cases, they block debris from getting in there but it can also just get in from the sides/rear. I do my own wheel/tire changes and maybe I also didn't put them back correctly but 3 of them are missing haha. Been driving around for at least 20K miles...

So some interesting wheels and floor mats for $10K? Otherwise it seems to just be a white R1S with vinyl graphics on the bottom? Or is that actually paint? I suppose it does make sense. Dealers do charge a ton of money for special editions which only add a few things. Easy money, and...

Maybe this has been discussed enough already, but I have some time and figured I'd chime in as an R1S owner of just over 3 years and ~30K miles. Also had "luxury" sport SUVs like the X5M as well as normal vehicles, sport cars, and motorcycles. I can see where this can make sense if you're...

I know this may have been beaten to death already, but reinforced panels or not....if you hit standing water at speed, even metal panels will likely be ripped off if it "catches the edge" of the water. Water is dense/heavy. It was simply bad luck you didn't see that standing water and you hit...

Sure, and I think it doesn't impact most people. But some others are getting up to 5% and there's something wonky there. It can cause issues when you are traveling/parked somewhere, often without charging. We all know bad things happen when the vehicle is completely drained.

What suspension height are you in when you are accelerating hard? For me (2023 Quad R1S), if I'm in standard/all purpose, I will have to keep the steering wheel turned 20% for the vehicle to track straight if I'm accelerating hard. In sport mode (lowest), it does not do this. It has done...

But if the fridge is plugged into the 110v outlet in the Rivian, that's using the main high voltage battery. By "accessories", you're talking about the basic things that are part of the vehicle (interior lights, etc), not things plugged into the 110v, right?

Since the price increase on RAN, I've never seen it any less than 60 cents. It used to be 36 cents all the time. Yes, Tesla has variable rates too, but the most expensive I've seen is 50something cents. In the rare times I charge (usually between SoCal and Vegas in the desert), Tesla is...

I'm not sure I understand the issue. Your trickle charger is being used for what? Is your fridge plugged into the trickle charger when the Rivian is parked in your home? If so, then the fridge is obviously not using the vehicle power. If your fridge is plugged into the outlet in the Rivian...

After the significant increase in RAN charging prices (maybe a year ago?) from ~$0.3x to ~$0.6x cents, I completely skip them and go to Tesla. RAN is also usually within a couple blocks of a large Tesla charging station too, so its not like we don't have a choice. I understand the economics of...

That tiresize site is pretty cool! But now that I see my 275/65/20 KO2s on my Ram 2363 wheels are quite a bit taller than my OEM 22s haha. Oops! But I've been running them for a long time in all purpose/standard height. If I go lowest, it will rub when I hit a dip at speed and very slight...

Exactly. Airing down on the highway is going to make your efficiency worse. Airing down in soft sand or some off road situations will likely increase your efficiency as you saw (vs. not airing down). In soft sand for example, not airing down will likely get you stuck or spinning a lot and...

Too early to tell, but pretty cool advancements. Working previously in vehicle cybersecurity, I suspect there would need to be much negotiations between Google and Rivian prior to any technical integration. Then the cameras would need to work well with the tech, and I suspect Gen 1 vehicles...

I didn't want to make a new thread. Did something random/fun over the weekend with my tires on the RAM wheels. I always thought trucks with the white tire lettering looked cool. I know you can get KO2s with white lettering, but since I only get used tires (I off road VERY rarely), I decided...
