Same here. That's why I went the cheap route. Ram 2363 wheel, used OEM tire from FB marketplace, bottle jack w/ some wood blocks for a base, and a telescoping lug wrench from Amazon.

Sounds like we can call it a wash. :like:

I suppose you're right. The official statement is: I have thrown caution to the wind several times and lived to tell the tale.

Looks like solar panels to EcoFlow/Jackery in bed is exactly what they have planned. Looks like their COR power station is designed around a hot-swappable battery concept and potentially includes accessories for storing and charging spare batteries in the bed...

Hard reset? May as well try since support will almost certainly tell you to do one when they respond to your ticket.

I guess that makes me braver (or dumber) than you for temping fate by posting this poll.

Ever notice how utility company vehicles surround themselves with orange cones? I can say from experience that orange cones work like magic when double parking on a busy city street. My kids' elementary school was on a busy urban thoroughfare. Being the dad with the truck meant that I got...

+1 for changing the units to kW. Pretty sure you do this in the energy screen. Tap the charging rate displayed there to toggle between kW and mi/hr. You can also see kW displayed on the charger itself. My observation has been that it can sustain close to 200kW until the SoC hits 70%. Then it...

I like your thinking on buying spares to have on hand. I wonder if I am pushing my luck with no failures after 18 months and 30k miles. Or, does that record say I got lucky with a good pair of batteries. Just posted a poll to see if we can come up with a failure rate from the community here...

I have been fortunate. 1.5 years and 30k miles without any 12v battery problems. However, I know that many others have endured frustrating failures. It got me wondering just what % have failed. I imagine that build date, mileage, dual vs. single batteries, charging habits, and environmental...

Welcome to the forum. Interesting to know you like AA/CP better than the Rivian nav. A bit of a sensationalist leap from there to “dangerous“ though. Somehow I, and many other drivers, managed to navigate the world safely with no nav system at all for decades. AAA maps and road atlases plus a...

Finally got around to listening to the interview on my drive home today. Kudos to RJ for being staying on message and dodging the interviewer’s baiting on Elon and politics. He insisted on delivering a rational and reasonable message. However, I am sufficiently self-aware to recognize that the...

Somehow I have XL stuck in my head for the OEM Pirelli’s. I know I’ve seen it referenced in several places. But, you’re right, it’s not printed on the tire and not referenced on the Pirelli website. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter though because the Toyo guide lists the same load capacity for a...

I have looked at that guide several times and always gave up because it looked complicated. I invested a bit more attention today. I think it says inflate to 60psi when switching to an LT tire from the OEM XL tire in the 275/65R20 size: Reinforced Load Inflation table - page 37: 116 XL = load...

Not holding my breath but... sure hope that a fully-functional Amazon music app with Dolby Atmos support is somewhere on the roadmap. I just started playing around with Atmos tracks through the Apple Music 3-month trial offer. Some are quite impressive, many are just "meh". I'm sure its all...

I ordered this: https://a.co/d/7ZDoxQu Plus a hitch tightener: https://a.co/d/5bbVLFL But, haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

That’s encouraging. Rotated my tires this week and measured the tread depth at 7/32-8/32 at just under 28k miles. It is just barely in the green zone on my analog tread depth gauge. Should be enough to get me to November when I swap the winter tires on. Then I have all winter to shop and debate...

Spotted a camouflaged Rivian this morning on I280 southbound this morning. Manufacturer plates. Presumably headed for the Rivian Palo Alto offices. It looked to me like a standard R1S. Presumably a test vehicle for software or electronics updates. Unless some eagle-eyed forum member can identify...

I have had to remind otherwise intelligent people of this fact multiple times since getting my Rivian.

Sounds like the aggressive incentive programs for purchases and leases to clear pre-refresh inventory were successful. I take it as a good sign that Rivian can pump up sales through incentives just like traditional manufacturers. It shows that there is a market of potential customers that are...
