Hands down, my absolute favorite feature of Arjuan, my brand new R1T I picked up last month? The cooled seats! Silly, huh? But all throughout August, I was hauling my lawn equipment to mow a property I am selling, and after a hot morning of mowing the summer grass in the relentless sun...

I got my R1 T just about a month ago with 22 inch sport Perelli‘s and have been dreading the time when I have to replace them. I am wondering what everyone’s experience is with having someone besides the Rivian service center replace the tires because I understand you either need to have a...

You know, bright white is the color that reflects IR radiation most efficiently, even more so than silver. If only car manufactures would paint their roofs white. Oh yeah, not electric, but whoa! Brilliant!

Murrow, over half a century ago said "This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and even it can inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise, it's nothing but wires and lights in a box. There is a great and perhaps decisive...

Yeah, but more accuratlely, it's the state of the business of the click bait info business. Actual journalists who studied and have spent real money earning degrees, and spent years learning how to spot BS from PR from spin to something "truthy" are being laid off left and right as newspapers...

Are you kiddin'? I've been wearin' square watches since the '80s! Oh yeah, I am THAT guy.

So, TBH, back when Elon first unveiled the cybertruck, I was one of the crazy ones who actually kinda liked the look of the truck and was so intrigued, I figured that would be my next vehicle. Then, when all the issues, disappointments, and flaws kept cropping up, as they continue to do so...

I have been getting a few questions like "What truck is that? Never heard of them" And yes, I just got my R1T, but I still think the comical headlights look ridiculous. I am hoping they grow on me, but my tastes are pretty well ossified at my age. The likelihood of me growing fond of them is...

I took delivery of Arjuan 3 weeks ago. I have to say the build quality on my vehicle was quite good, I have not yet found any flaws. There are some questionable design issues I could debate about in regards to the R1T, but my vehicle was clean, waxed and detailed like showroom quality, perhaps...

With a vague idea of how late-stage capitalism sustains, I am skeptical if not suspicious of spy-ware masquerading as a "digital assistant." I don't use Alexa at all, but I have no doubt it is extremely helpful to Amazon, being as that it is whole raison d'être. I am daily reminded of how...

One other little thing, I forgot to mention, was that the rear window is all one solid piece, there’s not a little window in the center or a way to open the window up if you wanted to slide in a long plank, 2 x 4 or PVC pipe or something like that. Ironically, if I had gotten the R1 S or many...

Yes. Just IMHO, but I think the juice of being able to save the vent positions to driver profiles isn't worth the squeeze of all the step motors, complexity and eventual failure and costly repair -- especially for me since I am likely going to be the only frequent driver of the truck. I too...

So turns out, for 2026, Rivian eliminated the fold out bin under the front passenger seat for some reason. I put the documents in an envelope and stored them in the center console behind the little booklet that is held in place by an elastic strap on the back wall. In the bin under the...

yeah, got the 22 sport wheels, which I knew would be a bit firmer, but wanted the handling, which i do enjoy. It's still not my beloved '79 RX-7, but so more practical.

Think I found it, thanks, that is a real time saver.

THANKS!, figured it was something simple, boy am I dumb.

Just a week now into enjoying my brand new Rivian R1T Dual Max Battery (named "Arjuan") and there is certainly a lot to like. (cooled seats, wow, where have you been all my life?) Indeed there is so much in the Rivian design that is so well-thought out and clever and conscientious, I just love...

What does sport mode give you that lowering the ride height and putting suspension to max does not - beside increasing the HP and torque? Sport and Conserve mode are the only two modes that I might be interested in. I'm not particularly interested in acceleration, but handling is fun. I like...

I am supposed to take delivery of my 2026 R1T on Monday morning. If Luke refers to his droids as "Artoo" and "Threpio" then I guess I'll refer to my roving robot as "Arjuan" -- My charger is a discounted Tesla Gen 3 I got for about $350, but the install is gonna cost me over $500! (i had...
