  1. Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 275/50/22 115 review

    I also got a set of the Michelins to replace my 22" OEM Pirellis about 2 months ago. I brought up the load index to America's tire and they said in their system, it shows as approved. They also said they have put these on multiple Rivians in my area (SoCal). My thoughts, which are similar to...
  2. Porsche - Anyone have a porsche, is a PCA member and/or selling a Porsche?

    I currently have a 2017 (991.2) 911 GT3 with PDK. Funny thing I actually wanted the PDK early on, but over the years I now wish I had selected the manual. I wasn't a VIP or anything so I had a hefty ADM but I had the pick between a few. I don't drive it often due to time/family obligations so...
  3. TopoMat & Battery Post Relocator for Aftermarket 12v Batteries

    Quick question on the Topolock. Since it is held down by a "ring shaped" sticky. Do you think repeated pickings up of a phone (iphones have a pretty strong magnet it seems) can lift the thing up? Any issues you've been hearing? Otherwise this is an amazing product.
  4. Off-roading with 22" Range wheels on R1S Dual Standard?

    Nice! Always a fun time playing in dirt. You can do what I did. Get some cheap Ram 1500 wheels (there's a long thread here) and used off road tires. I got a set of wheels, painted them gunmetal in my backyard, and picked up a 50% used set of KO2s all for just about $450-500. Since 99% of my...
  5. Received the call from Rivian Service - Urgent Notice from Rivian: Action required for your R1.

    Is there a question here? People have been receiving this notification for a while now.
  6. Off-roading with 22" Range wheels on R1S Dual Standard?

    What type of "off roading" are you planning on doing? I ask that because some people's definition can range from driving on grass/gravel all the way to extreme rock crawling (that will require dedicated off roading rigs). If the trail you're going to go on is mostly just sandy/gravel/rocky...
  7. Charging: RAN, Tesla SC or Electrify America?

    Here's my long answer for a relatively simple question. :p My day to day driving is always less than what a day's charge provides so I never have to charge outside of home (I have solar/L2 charger). In the 2.5 years I've had my R1S I think I've charged on public chargers maybe 3-4 times, all...
  8. You folks ever give a jump to another driver?

    It has been over a decade where I offered to jump someone else's vehicle using my own. The last time I did was a bad experience. I guess if your battery is older and some cells/modules are done, that jump kills the remaining ones...which it did. Left me stranded afterwards. Haven't done it...
  9. Who says you’ve gotta unhitch to charge?

    Off topic: May I ask what type of motorcycle trailer that is? I have a small dirt/dual sport bike I'd like to trailer around but they seem so expensive for what you get. The "nice" Kendon bike ones are several thousand. It is literally an axle, hitch, and tray lols. Almost tempted to...
  10. Unwanted zooming on navigation map

    Are you swiping left to bring up the quick actions items (that pop up when go to Park), then accessing pet mode that way? That takes a long time. Just hit your HVAC controls (hit the temp number) and pet mode (paw icon) is right there. Two taps. I do it all the time.
  11. Gen 1 Quad with 22” Sport Burnished Bronze

    I certainly don't know the engineering behind wheel/tire physics and efficiency, but I can make a guess. The range increase is likely due to the new Quad using in-house developed motors. It is no secret they were more powerful, and likely more efficient than the first generation (that we...
  12. Gen 1 Quad with 22” Sport Burnished Bronze

    As I understand it, the new Quad has a staggered tire setup where the rear is wider. Sometimes the tire itself is a tiny bit wider and the wheel itself is the same. I don't know what the new Quad wheel is. If it is indeed wider, I'm sure they will say it won't fit (although it will likely...
  13. VIN 16XXX no 12v in frunk

    Based on the comments below, it is pretty random. Probably a "parts bin" scenario. They may discontinue a version of a plastic panel with the outlet and replace it with another. But in the system, it is still the same code/part number that an assembly worker grabs from a pile and sticks on...
  14. Home outdoor charging solutions

    Are you able to describe (or show us a picture) of where the vehicle will be? The best solution is probably to install the charger (or use the mobile charger) in a garage and route the cable to the vehicle parked outside. There are EV rated extension cords if you need more length. Or you can...
  15. Cost to swap tires

    If you're paying Rivian to simply swap tires, then that price makes sense. "Dealer prices". Swapping tires at a shop typically costs between $20-40 per tire. This will include dismount, mount, balance, and remount. Some things which could increase the cost: - Road force balancing -...
  16. Front passenger door requires excessive force to close

    I also think you are closing that door VERY softly. I can tell you if I did the same, almost none of my doors will close. That being said, I'd venture to say your OTHER 3 doors are not sealed well enough given they will close with the force you're applying in the video. After having my R1S...
  17. Sagging - is this normal?

    I can't say for certain, but I do know for some vehicles with electronic suspension, there are control module configurations as well as small manual links which can be adjusted to modify suspension height. That's probably what happened in my case.
  18. No winch (yet?) what is the alternative

    Question - Is it safe to have one of those hitch mounted winches? I've seen hitch mount "trays" with pretty beefy mounts for aftermarket winches. But I don't know if the hitch is designed to handle the load that some of these winches can put on it. Same with the discussion above on factory...
  19. Sagging - is this normal?

    I'd say in both your instances, I'd submit a service ticket. It certainly shouldn't sag much at all after a week and a half, or even two weeks. I've been gone nearly 3 weeks and it looks exactly the same as the day I left it. I can understand a tiny leak showing itself over 6 months of...
  20. What do you park your Rivian next to?

    EDIT: Are pic uploads/display not working? I see some others with broken links too. Initially thought it was my work's web filter, but I turned it off since I'm an admin lols, and it still doesn't work. Most of the time a 2018 GT3 (which is parked on a tender 99.9% of the time) but sometimes...
