I installed a roof top tent on my R1S for a week camping in the Oceano Dunes in Pismo Beach, CA. I just wanted to provide my experience with mine for those of you thinking of getting one. First, my gear: I have a Thule Tepui Kukeman 3. I am using a pair of the Thule Wingbar Evo 135 (53”) as my...
I’ve never owned a vehicle with air suspension. I come from a Model 3, which has regular shocks so the ride is pretty stiff. I’ve owned the R1S for 2 months now and I can’t get a feel for the right suspension setting. When I drive slower around town, soft feels a little too soft, especially over...
Is it me or are the R1S videos pretty underwhelming so far? There was a hype build up to the July 6 release date and then the day came and went with few videos. I saw one lady YouTuber giving an overview of the R1S while her blouse was missing a button and you could see too much, and that made...
Seems like the Rivian R1S embargo ends on July 6 at 6am (not sure the time zone) as others have stated and as shown on this R1S video that is set to be released at that time. Seems like they invited some smaller channels as they did with the R1T. I’m hopeful they were rubbing elbows with some of...
Ran into this short by Ben Sullins. Seems like a good side by side. The cab in the R1T seems bigger while the bed is certainly shorter. Overall length is not a big thing considering the Tacoma needs extra space in the front for the radiator etc.
*Skip down to the solution if you want to bypass the backstory. And let me know if there is a better or easier way to do it.
As the deliveries of the R1Ts have finally kicked off, I started thinking about how I would charge two EVs at home at once with minimal fuss and without having to install...
I just noticed that the tow hooks, which were previously only available as part of the $2K off-road package, are standard equipment on the Adventure model. Also, if you get an Explorer model, it’s a $300 add on. That was the only option I wanted that I previously lacked but I did not want to...
Curious. Now that the pricing has been announced for the Lightning and we realized that Ford’s marketing team pulled the wool over our eyes (all manufactures do this), how many of you are still on the fence about Lightning vs R1T? If you were in the market for a 300+ mile truck, I don’t think...
Curious to see what my fellow Direct Share Participants are doing during these rocky times. I for one kept my initial position, which was 175 units at the IPO price and I bought an additional 45 since then during these latest drops. Also, did anyone cash out at the apex (~$170) and buy back in...
After the quiet period lapsed this weekend, the analysts took positions on Rivian and most rate it as a buy with only a few hold positions and no sell positions. Some analysts have a price target of up to $170 (BoA)...
