Thanks for doing this, it’s a fair amount of work to collect and organize. My experience is a bit limited, since I stopped using the Rivian for cross-country travel last fall because of the lack of charging infrastructure in the southeast. I’m waiting on my NACS adapter to resume. When I did...

purists will scoff, but I like any of the small Keurig coffeemakers--It's nice to have basically instant coffee, and my wife and differ on lightroast/dark roast so we each get what we want. I also like running water--there are a number of options with 5 gallon jugs and electric pumps...

While EVs typically weigh more than the most directly comparable ICE vehicles, and prioritize rolling resistance and perhaps noise more than ICE cars, the tires themselves don't care a whit about the source of the torque. For those of us old enough to have bought audio equipment during the '80s...

None of the four feet on mine would latch with just thumb pressure on the tabs, but all of them do immediately if I "thump" them with a closed fist while holding pressure on the tab. To be clear, I don't thump the tab, I hold the tab and thump straight down towards the ground on the top of the...

I can't see that anyone else seems to be excited about this but me, but I'm looking forward to this. It's a bit geeky, but with a multi-leg drive plan I'd like to see rivian adopt the aviation standard color for the active leg, which is magenta (sort of purple). Subsequent but inactive legs...

It shows up on the lower right of the driver screen--depicts the right thumb button on the steering wheel. It shows up with 100 yds or so of my house when I'm approaching, and when I'm leaving it pops up as soon as I put my foot on the brake. It's exactly the same as the button legend that...

The functionality you're asking for has been there at least since the last update--I routinely back into my driveway, hit the steering wheel button as I'm reversing. It pops up on the lower right driver screen based on GPS location. I like it better than the geofenced automatic opening in my...

Was the EA charger working properly? That seems to be a chronically problematic site. I charged there to and from the Oshkosh airshow last summer, and on the return the best of the four handles was supplying I think 90kw. One of the others around 30kw and two other two just dead. I showed up...

Ahh, that may be a clue. I had an OG Model S, bought it in early 2015 way before the tires with sound deadening foam were a thing. I never bought a set of those, just some Pirellis that were recommended on the forums. With the sound deadening foam, I think you may be stuck with the "slime" or...

That would be less than ideal. At various times, I plugged three of the tires on my Tesla Model S (one of them twice). When one of the plugs kept leaking slowly, I took it to Pep Boys and they patched it from the inside. I don't remember the exact cost but it was fairly trivial. Never...

If this were my tire, I'd get the plug kit out, along with my bottle of soapy water, and then take whatever that is out. If it's not leaking, put everything away and stop worrying about it. If it -does- leak, then I'd plug it and if it holds air, I'd stop worrying about it. If you...

Did you buy an extra charger? I would think you'd trade the charger with the R1S otherwise

OK, I'll bite. Why do "EVs" take so many nails? In our household that certainly hasn't been the case, but I realize that the plural of anecdote =/=evidence.

They can't put it on the internet if it's not true...

It seems that Tesla has quietly added another CCS friendly location more or less on the I-20 corridor, in Alabaster, AL. There is already a 4 cabinet EA site there, but I've never seen it with all 4 cabinets working, and there is often a line to charge. Still really wishing for the...

Those containers are like gold. You might have noticed that Costco no longer sells the nuts packaged that way. My wife now buys the nuts in the plastic bags, and refills the plastic containers.

It wasn't me--You and I met briefly when you were kind enough to give me a tour of your R1T while I was waiting for the R1S. I did meet a local broker (ironically driving a 4runner IIRC) who waved me down one day last spring because he had an R1S on order. I gave him a tour, and I -think- he...

I noticed that as well--as far as I could tell no airbags on either vehicle
