I owned a Mach-E GTPE. My dealer “broke it” after 8,000 miles so Ford stepped up and gave me a full buy-back without question. (My check paid for the Rivian R1S a couple weeks later!) The Rally version has less than 6.5 inches of ground clearance. The Magnaride suspension gives you the...

Blue Ox for a personalised plate was already taken. :(

My Kia EV6 GT-L has a heat pump which works just fine. Even thawing out my car in West Yellowstone. My Rivian R1S has a four-slice toaster with a fan for a heater - it also works just fine. Both vehicles have butt warmers and heated steering wheels so I shall survive in the first world.

Passenger rear in the Kia...

Twice the fun! Wrong side for Tesla SC. No CarPlay, 12 volt ports, AM radio, etc., etc. Plus all the stuff the R1S does have.

Prime real estate! Brings back fond memories. Twenty two years ago, I used to maintain the Echo Summit monitoring station for the California Air Resources Board. My particulate monitor used to get "drowned/buried" by the CalTrans snow blower when they cleared the parking lot.

I have 18K miles on my Kia EV6 GT-L with the Michelin Defenders. Best tires I have ever purchased. Wear, range, performance, noise, etc. #1 rated on Tire Rack. These are the next shoes for the R1S.

I was a camera/video/scientific optical technician in the "last century". Consumer Reports gave a #1 rating to the worst camera ever produced. It was 20% of our repairs for all cameras. It had stamped aluminum parts instead of steel - guaranteed to fail but "CR" liked the light feel of the...

How about dirty and stepped on? How about dirty and stepped on?

Maps are not omniscient and my Rivian satellite maps are seven years out of date. I often find milage instructions useful. Just because you do not, is there a reason you want the rest of the owners to be denied the option? You should be be offered the option to turn it off. This local...

There are times it is useful. I've done back roads where I have been given specific mileage points for turn offs or destination points. It would be a PITA switching between the map and odometer while driving. The OPTION to have it would be wonderful. If some folks want drive without it, it...

This is the first vehicle I have owned in almost sixty years that did not have an odometer in front of the driver.

I purchased a vent mount from OpenSourceEV for my Garmin DriveSmart 86 but it had some fitting issues. My new R1S had a slightly different dash design so the end tab wouldn’t properly seat. Rob sent me a redesigned one but that one was still a little off. His “Next Generation” is much...

I want to bring my R1S to Lost Dollar Road. The same one I did a few years ago with another unnamed vehicle. And then hang for a couple days in Durango...

I felt your pain... https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/socket-two-me-more-better-installed-12-volt-outlets-under-the-dash.22873/

Here is your "half a chance". I tried this and it works very well. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/rivian-500hz-horn-upgrade-installed-pics-video-sound-clip.22096/

Here is a rate comparison with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District.

California is an expensive place to live my friend. I dumped the service records after the car was gone but the the $999.00 and the $931.86 were for two of the 10,000 mile services. One involved brake fluid change and the other transmission fluid. The $972.11 was for the rear brakes after...

Norway gets 88% of its electricity from hydro and another 10% from wind. They payed for their electrical infrastructure by being the eighth largest exporter of oil and the third largest exporter of natural gas. My mother's cousin was a petroleum hellfighter on the North Sea oil project.

Not necessarily BS. His experience was probably similar to mine with the SQ5. Just a quick look at some old records... When they wanted $1,500 for the front brakes at 40,000 miles, I was done.
