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...
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?
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:
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
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.
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...
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...
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
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...
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.
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.
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:
