I will admit that I did not read the article but I think that I have a good idea of what is involved here. And I agree Donald here. When is enough not enough? A large portion of that wealth is built upon the commons that the average taxpayer has built. There is a Senator from Vermont that has...
Thank you. Yes, I realize that using a third party for precision measurements can be problematic. But at this point I look at it as a viable option for me. I need to know that if I put $1800 of tires on my vehicle, that they will have a chance at a good,long lifespan.
As an aside, while I was...
Except for the factory alignment , the Rivian alignment at the Melrose Park SC was the only other alignment that this vehicle has had. So it basically went ~17k miles with normal wear and then excessive wear in the remaining period that included the Rivian alignment. It just ”does not add up” to...
So I am trying to determine what happened here.
On 05/15/25 I took my R1T to the local Discount Tire for a rotation. The also found a nail that had been causing a slow leak for almost a year. They plugged and patched the hole. All free of charge. Nice. During that visit that also recorded...
I think that it may be my browser which defaults to the GB Rivian site. I have discussed this with Rivian and no solution.
Thank you Steve. This is what I was looking for. Too bad that it is difficult to obtain…
Thank you Vandalsibs. I get to this page and click on “Service “ , but that page, at least as far as I cansee, does not itemize what is included in this inspection. Am I missing something?
My R1T is due for this checkup. So I went to the app and tried to “talk” to the app assistant about details of this service and costs. This went nowhere. So I called Rivian and talked to Donnavan. Nice guy. He sent me a service appointment (mobile not avavailable for this service) which states...
I just got done re-installing the three upper trims. All of the “red” clips pulled off of the trim piece but I cut off most of the remaining plastic “boss” on the trim piece, leaving only a little stub on each end for alignment. Kinda tedious and may have been easier to remove the teeth from the...
I thought that i was trying to make a broader point in my comment. My apologies for making this mistake and I will endeavor to see that it does not happen again.
Per NECTeble 250.122, assuming copper conductors, grouding conductor can be #10. Could save a buck or two and make the pull easier. Just sayin’….

I looked through the responses and did not see a mention of conduit sizing. We know that the NEC has conduit sizing tables for many reasons, but heating is probably the main one. Personally, I would never run a circuit like this in Romex. With a 60 amp circuit breaker, you will be running 2 x #6...
I have removed the upper trims from sides and tailgate. All of the “red” clips and a few others broke but many are still intact. As you stated, it is difficult for me to see how the red clips can readily be re-attached to the trim. So I got to thinking….danger. How about using any existing...
Let us all choke on that one.
Of course. We all want to go back to the 19th century, don’t we? With coal, it is not only the CO2 but also other nice stuff like mercury. But then again, we can always rely on “clean coal” to get us through.
I agree in your points Yossarian. However, I think the most folks in the Renewable Energy industries would no longer use the term “alternative energy”. Alternative to what, fossil fuels? It should not be an alternative, it should be the standard. I hesitate to get into semantics but that term...
Could not agree with you more….except please allow me to add that fossil fuel companies have been receiving subsidies for a hundred years or more. I was self- employed in the renewable energy industry and really got tired of hearing the old “well the RE industry gets all of the subsidies “. With...
WHAT THEY SAID
"Let’s get the loud part out of the way: this is an expensive piece of equipment. But so is a Mercedes. This cooler would actually feel right at home in the back of a Mercedes. Part space-age design, part fashion statement, the Oyster Tempo Cooler is the first innovation...
I think that they have fabricated a solid metal panel to replace roof glass. Would be interesting to check back in a year or two and see how they are doing/stiil working.
6.4 million package? C’mon Rivian….
