  1. Range and Battery Comparison Thought - What am I missing?

    Your mileage will vary...are key words. in your comparison above, you're comparing basically 22" all season tires against 20" more rugged all terrain type tires (they look to be the new Goodyear ones). If you drill into the pics on the configurator of the differences, you'll see (I noticed...
  2. Cut in sidewall, safe to drive?

    Since you did a 5-wheel rotation, that implies you have 5 wheels. I'd rotate that one out as a SPARE ONLY and consider it only 4 wheels. Then when it's time to get new tires, replace all 5. Can you get by on that tire in a pinch in an emergency...likely. Would you want to drive on it full...
  3. Suma Performance Side Mirrors - Installation & Review

    Thanks for the writeup...but I have to agree with @BCondrey in wondering what you gain from swapping out to these mirrors? I've found that between the outside mirrors (if they are properly adjusted) and the center mirror, there's pretty good visibility out of the R1T.
  4. 2025 R1S Regen braking stops and then car only can go less than 20 mph. Malfunction?!

    Sorry this happened to you on such a new car. The positive is that it's with Rivian and my experience is they generally take care of it once it's in. Based on what I've read on this forum, there are several people who are experiencing issues with their brand new 2025s...and to some degree this...
  5. PIN to Drive?

    I rarely use my key fob...I use it so little that I take the battery out of it when not using it. I also don't like to Valet the Rivian as that's a lot of power for an unfamiliar person to drive. I wish Rivian would create a "Vallet Mode" that's limit torque and speed to 15MPH. That's all the...
  6. Introducing New Side Step Nerf Bars from EV Sportline! - A third option from the original source for Running Boards

    I like the looks of the my original running boards better. That being said, I'm glad there's another option to help those of us with option decision paralysis! :CWL:
  7. Signed up for Connect+

    @NY_Rob even without Connect+, I'd predict there will be at least some sort of LTE connection to maintain at least some functions (like the SOS feature).
  8. Tow Hitch Recommendation?

    As others have mentioned, a Weigh-safe isn't usually necessary if you're towing your own trailer all the time. I used to have a boat and didn't use one. However, these days my trailer rentals are usually U-Hauls for mulch, rocks, and the occasional towing of a car. In this case, it's good to...
  9. 2024 Macan EV Official EPA Range Revealed

    It's a Porsche...you can configure it however you want...but it'll cost ya... :)
  10. Will Action Button on Iphone 15/16 work to enable Lock/Unlock ??

    You can also create a widget so it's a quick swipe left from the first Home Screen.
  11. Bicycle Tire Inflation advice

    I just air up at home before the ride with a manual pump...it's faster as a general rule. When going for several days, I also take the pump with me...
  12. 20" Inch 20" Michelin Defender LTX M/S2

    It's best to have all tires with the same size running...especially in AWD/4WD vehicles...as the drive wheels should be turning at the same relative velocity. I've never heard if the SW in the truck can compensate for it this difference...expecially if you have a dual motor version. For the...
  13. Tow Hitch Recommendation?

    Typically with a boat trailer, you don't do weight distributing hitches. I think this has to typically do with surge brakes, but I could be mistaken. As @MejDam noted the Weigh Safe hitches are great. I just went with the Weigh Safe Aero Hitch with a 4" drop as it has the capacity for even...
  14. Unethical charging question?

    For daily driving, I charge when the battery gets to about 20-30% and then up to 80%. I find this is plenty of capacity for multiple days of driving. For daily driving in an EV, I think there's a mental mind shift that has to happen from driving a ICE. When in an ICE, you always fill it up to...
  15. 2024.31.01 Issue; Suspension Height Enables "Auto" When in Park

    Mine hasn’t been doing this since going to .31, but it does like running through the ‘what’s new screens’ from the .27 update. Yep apparently saving your vent presets (which doesn’t stop them from getting out of whack) is so new and exciting from the last update we need to check it out a new...
  16. Tire Replacement - Do you have experience with Michelin Defender LTX Platinum or Continental TerrainContact A/T?

    I get the tire rabbit hole....it's a dark & twisty one. I originally liked the looks of the Michelins however, I saw some issues in early reviews people had with getting them balanced and keeping them balanced. I'm not a tire expert, but as they wear, that tread with the goofy voids under it...
  17. Where the Heck is Software QA?

    I haven't tried searching in the new Nav App since the last update however, since I've been using Apple Music since the .27 Update I do realize that I can get the music going, then as I pull away from the house, it will stop, and I'll have to restart it. I've always thought the cause of this is...
  18. Rivian AC charging curve is weird. Why?

    I wonder if it other cars average the charge rate where Rivian may show the actual charge rate. ....that's just a guess...
  19. Solar charging blanket

    For $3,000 and the size to store each panel when not in use, you'd do better to buy a 30amp generator for $500 and be able to put some appreciable energy into your battery...
  20. We're off to.... A.... Start

    Glad to hear they caught the issue before you took delivery and were also able to give you a loaner. Otherwise it may have been the hassle of roadside assistance on a holiday weekend. Take this opportunity to enjoy the Gen1, and when you get the Gen2, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts about...
