  1. R1S Roadtrip to the Redwoods from Seattle

    We spent the week in the Redwoods national forest with the family and grandparents (filled all 7 seats and there was space to spare for the luggage). Drove from Seattle with a stop in Eugene, OR on the way there. Then drove all the way back from Ferndale, CA to Seattle in one go (12h drive...
  2. Sad world we live in (Houston charger cables being cut)

    Someone cut the gas station hose next to the Fortuna Rivian charger: The attendants were wondering what happened!
  3. Getting the needle inflator to work

    I tried inflating a basketball using the R1S compressor but was not able to. I screwed the needle inflator into the silver adapter but it was not airtight. Is the adapter defective or am I doing it wrong?
  4. Rear Wiper Blade Service

    Actually I was able to replace the blade without removing the arm. I pressed the blade to the window with one hand and used the other hand to pull the arm really hard. Here's a video:
  5. WA state / Seattle area owners: 11.8% sales tax look right?

    A bit of a loophole but if you drive an R1S for Uber or Lyft, it qualifies for an RTA exemption as a For Hire vehicle over 6000lbs and with more than 6 seats: https://apps.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=308-57-140
  6. Tire replacement at a Rivian service center for $668.31

    Is "tire replacement" less ambiguous than "tire change"? I'm just trying to share some information I wish I found on the forum when I noticed the flat tire.
  7. Tire replacement at a Rivian service center for $668.31

    I noticed the low tire pressure warning on I-405 down from Kirkland to Bellevue with the front right tire losing about 1 psi every 10 seconds. Muscle memory got me back to the Rivian Service center where I was able to park at about 30 psi. I then watched the tire deflate completely to 5 psi...

    Gear guard caught another Cybertruck in the wild today:
  9. Safe to watch eclipse through sunroof?

    Turns out it was really cloudy in Eugene today so we saw nothing with the eclipse glasses but got a few glimpses of the ring of fire through the Rivian sunroof! Here's a bad picture (can't see that the moon is in front of the sun because there was too much exposure) that shows the position of...
  10. Offroad driving up the Oregon beach from the Gearhart to Warrenton

    I used the Drive cam with a 1Tb usb drive. It records all my drives on a rolling basis. Here's the announcement: https://stories.rivian.com/software-update-drive-cam
  11. Offroad driving up the Oregon beach from the Gearhart to Warrenton

    We had a great time driving up the beach for about 9 miles from Gearhart to Warrenton. Here's a drive cam recording: The ride was super smooth in all-purpose mode. I tried soft sand mode for a bit and noticed the added traction and maneuvrability. I did not deflate tires. I used about 60...
  12. Safe to watch eclipse through sunroof?

    Glad I asked and thanks for the pointers. We'll bring our NASA approved eclipse glasses and a colander!
  13. Safe to watch eclipse through sunroof?

    Random question but will it be safe to watch the October 14 annular eclipse through the R1S sunroof? We'll be driving to Eugene, OR and thought the R1S would be a cosy spot to enjoy the show.
  14. Who wants a Rivian diecast or model R1T/R1S toy truck, or RC?

    Definitely agree. I was looking for this and landed on this forum post.

  16. Any recommendations for off-roading locations near Seattle?

    I am curious to put our R1S to the test of some off-road driving. Has anyone gone out on trails that they would recommend? I'm also curious about driving on a beach if there are any locations that allow it.
  17. Passing 3 Rivian Delivery Vans in our R1S

    The family went on a day trip to the Olympic peninsula last weekend and we were excited to pass 3 Rivian delivery vans on the way. I had fun recording it with the drive cam: ----
