  1. CoG (Center of Gravity)?

    I have been trying to get the same information via numerous emails a phone calls to Rivian. Have always been told that the info is not available. We need the help of someone who has a friend who is a design engineer for Rivian. The COG is readily available via the CAD programs used in the...
  2. Requesting Rivian to Replace Tires

    Are you certain you actually know “all the facts”?
  3. Regenerative braking - revisited

    In my opinion, it all comes down to adaptability. How easily can one adapt or how willingly one adapts to something different from what they have “always done”. I suspect that all who dislike OPD would feel the exact opposite if they had first learned on, and then spent several years driving a...
  4. Grumpy Rivian drivers no wave

    Did not read all the replies, but I do wish I had the time to worry about things like this.
  5. HVAC heat blows cold air even when hot air is needed

    I had similar experience. See page 72 in owner’s manual. There are actually 3 settings: heating, cooling, “cabin temperature” air. You might have it set for cabin temperature air as the symbol for that is similar to the heating symbol. I think that symbol is red when heating and greyed out...
  6. Loose underbody panels?

    Not sure which panels you refer to, but go watch a video about how to install aftermarket rock sliders at www.weistec.com or possibly any other vendor of sliders or running boards. They will show you how to remove the panels which will give you an understanding of how they are attached. Then...
  7. NEW Black Rhino 20" Forged Wheels on Rivian

    The Rivian 20” wheels are forged according to: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/forged-vs-cast-wheels-weight-strength-longevity.943/ If true, I still have same concerns about a wheel that has 6 lbs. less material. Does it have a reduced strength? I used wrong term “weight rating”...
  8. Compiled payload ratings for R1T (GVWR, GAWR, Payload Stickers)

    Not trying to nitpick, but try using a closer conversion figure. 1 kg. = 2.2046244202 lbs. I think it will come out nearly the same. ?
  9. NEW Black Rhino 20" Forged Wheels on Rivian

    These wheels do look good, but can someone please explain how these wheels can come in 6 lbs. lighter than OEM wheels? Aren’t they both forged monoblock aluminum? I’m thinking the only way is there is less material in these wheels … 6 lbs. less aluminum which would be a lot. If so, wouldn’t...
  10. Hell's Gate in my R1T

    Maybe not. In this climb the Rivian actually positions itself and stops part way up to take photos. Then they back up slightly to reposition again to continue the climb to the top. I think you did great … especially since you didn’t have one or more guides, but instead did it with only...
  11. Vehicle is Raising - Stop to Prevent Damage

    Choosing that option, if it was available, would eliminate the ability to change/adjust ground clearance for highway vs off road use. In that instance what ground clearance would you want for your truck?
  12. 20” All-Terrain OEM Replacement

    What wheels have you got there? Looks really good.
  13. Initial R1S impressions after driving Teslas for 6 years

    This is the exact reason the doors are hard to close, and if you notice it is always the last door to close that is difficult. The first three to close are easy. If interested you can test this out by opening one of the windows a little then try opening/closing all the doors. You will find...
  14. Ordered new 20” wheel with +48mm offset from Tirerack

    Is that a public off-road park? If yes, what and where is it?
  15. R1S charging port sinking in

    In your chat around 5:03 - 5:04PM they said, “THIS IS NOT MOBILE CAPAPBLE” misspelling the word “capable”.
  16. PAK works to unlock, but not to start (iphone)

    So it was likely a phone problem rather than a Rivian problem. As we know our smartphones are just another “computer”. For many years now, ever since the first “Windows” operating system we have known to simply reboot our computer when it is not working right. So same goes for our phone …...
  17. Got my R1S back from PPF

    I see “RIVIAN” is gone from your door. Did you remove all? Plan to leave off permanently?
  18. NEW Black Rhino 20" Forged Wheels on Rivian

    Somehow your, and TFL’s, measurements are incorrect. Measure the tire inflated to the maximum pressure as stated on the sidewall (51 psi), and measure it without any weight on it. I just did that. The tires mounted on my R1S measure 33 5/8” with the truck sitting on them. I did not measure...
