Tagging @EV Sportline — I'd also love to see something make use of this space!

IMO there's no reason to mount over the roof unless you need something bigger than can fit over the bed. The bed's dimensions are 54" long × 51" wide; add a couple inches for the rails around it so you can get a tent that's about 60" long × 55" wide to avoid overhang. You're still going to see...

My own car (PDM R1T, 20" AW10 wheels, Wildpeak tires) is in for service. I'm very glad to have gotten a loaner (Quad R1T, 22" OEM wheels and tires). The loaner seems like it has a heavier steering wheel feel (i.e. it takes more force to turn the wheel) and it feels a bit less nimble/eager to...

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Bluedot yet (disclaimer: that's my referral link). They're offering 30¢/kWh at EVGo stations and 20% in-app cash back on charging (which you can redeem for additional charging, so the math actually works out to ~25%). Admittedly, I've seen but haven't used the...

I like seeing the location of my car when I'm getting picked up (I share a car with my roommate) — this was great in the Tesla app with the live map; a lot more annoying now with the Rivian app.

Good to know! I got a generic spacer heater, which was great for 15° camping. I'll probably start looking for a camping AC soon though … and I might yet end up with the Ecoflow 2. Did your tent have a built-in HVAC port, or was that DIY job?

@Rexbo thanks for starting this thread — it's great! I loved the Stoic Bivy suit on a recent trip. One consideration for anyone else looking at it: I'm 5'9"; the Small size fits me better than the Large size when I'm standing (the Large is too baggy), but the Small is a little constraining when...

@R.I.P. is that the Ecoflow wave 2? How is it working for you? I was considering it, but I've seen mixed reviews and the specs say it stops working as a heater below 40°F … has that been your experience?

Depending on your state, the sales tax treatment may vary if you do a trade-in vs a private sale. I'm not sure of the details, but it might be something like if you do a trade-in, you pay sales tax on the reduced price of the new vehicle, whereas if you do a private sale, you pay sales tax on...

Submitted. I reserved an R2 to have the option of getting one, but I'm happy with my R1T and don't have a need (or space) for more than one car. I'm tempted by the R3X though…

Your spare doesn't necessarily need to match the existing tires/wheels you have (e.g. you can put a compact spare on and limp home; you can do the same with any other slightly-mismatched wheel/tire). My R1T came with 21" wheels; I got a full-size 21" spare from someone on eBay for about $450...

Not necessarily due to the size, but most of the 20" tire options out there for R1 are more rugged, which means more resistance in the tread and may be heavier — both of those factors would reduce efficiency. Also, only Rivian's 21" wheel comes with aero caps, which help improve efficiency a...

The R1's 21" tire is 275/55R21, so its sidewall (and diameter) is bigger. The R2 tire might fit on a R1, but your odometer and speedometer would be off (unless Rivian adds software support), and without load details, it's unclear whether there would ever be an R2-sized tire that could handle the...

Hello! Does anyone have a recommendation for a shop that can repair a small windshield rock chip (< 1cm) in San Francisco or within a reasonable distance?

I'll get a new TT-30P to 14-50R adapter and report back the next time I find a TT-30 outlet.

Ah, found a possible explanation:

I thought about that — I had the manager check the outlet with a tester, which lit up. I also tried preemptively dropping the amps in the car to 20 amps before plugging in, which didn't help either. The adapter Cycliste listed says "Other similar adapters available elsewhere are made for RV use...

Ah ha, that definitely sounds plausible. The first link I posted is the thing I got. I didn't notice it at the time I bought it/I didn't know TT-30 was a separate thing from NEMA 14-30, but I see now in the listing that it does specify 125 volts. And yeah, I was trying to use this at an RV park...

I made it through Death Valley! 1. I came from Vegas, where I filled up at the RAN to 97%. 2. I topped up in Pahrump, from 79% to 97%. 3. I drove around Death Valley, making it to a couple of sites (Dante's View, Zabriskie Point, halfway down Badwater Basin to the natural bridge, Artist's...

I bought the 14-50R adapter (30am to 50amp) thinking that it would be straightforward to adapt a 30amp outlet to the 50amp plug that the Rivian charger ships with … and found out the hard way that it doesn't work — the Rivian charger doesn't light up with this setup. Maybe something to do with...
