I've had this happen maybe three times, resetting the displays always fixes it, but there's clearly a bug/memory leak somewhere.

What he said. I'd also be happy to take measurements (or even try an iPhone LIDAR 3D scan). This is a non-trivial engineering exercise though, starting with modifying the door hinges and involving a lot of structural work. If I were trying to do this, I'd start with one of the companies that...

Nothing yet, I also posted on the Tesla forums without a response. there are a couple of level 2 chargers around Oshkosh, and at least one 50kw CCS at a car dealer. I’m guessing those will be covered up during the EAA. There are real DCFC stations in Madison and Milwaukee, and some slower CCS...

This hasn't been my experience. I have an iPhone and an iPad pro with AT&T service, and using WiFi and the truck's HotSpot is -significantly- better while traveling. I've assumed it is because the truck has a better antenna without the packaging constraints of a phone or tablet. I've had...

This comes up a lot on the forums. It is definitely in the manual, but the frequency of the question suggests that it isn't where people expect it to be. IIRC searching the manual for "TPMS" describes the system but doesn't tell you how to see the numbers (It's been a while and I'm not in...

Wow. That's still not bad enough to trigger a warranty replacement, and it seems that the degradation curves flattens out pretty quickly, but I'd be super unhappy if I were you. If there is something wrong with your battery, hopefully it will worsen and you'll get a warranty replacement...

I think there's something wrong with your model 3, that's way outside normal degradation. There's a battery health test you can do from the touchscreen service menu I think. My 2015 Model S (still in the family) has only about 5-7% degradation after eight years. I did some routine charging to...

I typically spend a few days at the EAA convention in Oshkosh the last week in July. I've attended every possible way over the years, flying in and tent camping, borrowing a motorhome, staying with friends in Milwaukee (they've moved), and tent camping with my Tesla. I'm considering camping...

I don't know if you've considered this, but the most efficient thing might be to "car camp" in the back of the R1S and use its AC. I've done this in the summer (muggy July nights in Wisconsin) in my Tesla model S. Running the AC all night and charging my devices burned through about 20-25...

Second Law of Thermodynamics

I'm not sure why it seems to be a secret, but there are two Waypoint chargers next to Poplar Tree Lake in Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park. They are depicted on the map on the Rivian website, but not in the truck's nav system (although others in the region are). Both chargers work as...

I've daydreamed about this, but this guy has the expertise to actually do it. I'd love to have something like this:

I know it doesn't help you directly, but I recently learned that Honda actually has a part number for "rodent deterrent tape" designed to prevent this problem. I've heard mixed reviews on its efficacy

That picture of the other truck is terrifying That picture is terrifying, especially so (for me) because I drove an S10 variant from 1991 through 1996 (an Oldsmobile Bravada). The steering wheel is closer to the seatback than it is to its normal position. The amount of deformation of the cab...

I've had a AAA membership for decades, often with overlapping coverage like Rivian's. I used to consider it a necessity (especially since modern cars tend to not have spares). I needed to call them twice in the last 3 years, once for a shredded sidewall in my Tesla, and once for a...

It depends on a lot of things. Memphis isn't a great city for itinerant RVs. There are few Level 2 charging options near my house in east Memphis/Germantown. All that I'm aware of are free. There seems to be a bunch in and around downtown/Mud Island A handful of car dealerships have DCFC...

Loud noise close to charger I would assume is preconditioning (optimizing battery temps for fast charging). Or maybe it's just hungry ;P Yes, frequent fast charging will reduce battery life and capacity, but probably not by enough for most people to notice. There is some normal degradation...

I was specifically told that that wasn't possible (I had a 10/2019 preorder, and like many others not a launch edition because I was holding out for a Max Pack when it was still on the table) My guide got me access to the R1 shop, but there was no inventory because I was limited to Adventure...

I had the same issue with the rear interior lights on the way home (almost 800 miles, much of it at night). We diagnosed the issue as inadvertent touching of the rear screen. We were using the 120v outlet behind the console, as well as the USB-C outlets there, and also had snacks on the floor...
