Clips securely into the dash gaps between the two screens without any tape or screws I've printed it in a PETG filament to hopefully withstand summer heat. I didn't design these, I downloaded the files and bought a 25w qi2.2 magsafe puck that fit, I had an EveryAmp OBD2 dongle to get higher...

I’m currently in a bit of a "good problem to have" situation. I own a 2024 Rivian R1S that I purchased NEW for an effective price of ~$65K. This was possible by stacking a preorder voucher (MSRP was $92,397, paid $73,547) with a successful amendment of my 2022 taxes for the $7,500 federal tax...

Generation 1 2024 R1S dual performance <20k Miles in the New England Region. I’ve noticed some surface rust starting already on my front tow hooks. Is anyone else seeing this so early in the vehicle's life? Even with the heavy salt we get up here, it seems excessive for a 2 year old truck...

Quick drive showing Comma Ai on an unmapped NH road. Can the Rivian R1S actually drive itself? In this video, I’m taking my Gen 1 Rivian R1S out on the road to show off a massive upgrade: Comma 4 running sunnypilot with full longitudinal control. If you’re a Rivian owner, you know that...

Last weekend i received and installed my comma four (4) with the Lukas longitudinal harness and the upgraded harness with the fuse tap in my Gen 1 R1S, and I wanted to share my results because the difference is night and day. The Performance: Better than Gen 1 I get it, that's a low bar to...

Happy R2 Day - Alright, let’s be honest: Most of us aren’t content creators needing engagement, or want to rent our lifestyle with endless leasing. So… what would actually make you willingly switch from your R1 to an R2? Do you think the initial wave will be new buyers or Rivian nerds like...

Not sure when this started, but by default the HVAC is set to floor and windshield by default whenever I start the car (remotely or not). Is there a setting that changed at some point? I don't remember it always being this way. I prefer the vents open.

I was looking at swapping my OEM 22's with a set of winters. I found a set on FB of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5, but they are the 115R XL - so lower speed rating. I assume that is fine since I'm not likely to be going over 100 ever, especially in the winter.... what is your your thoughts ?

2 Part question, for you great an knowledgeable people. I have access to a set of 5x139.7 bolt pattern (same a Rivian) 20 inch wheel off a Ram Big Horn. My first questions is will these fit the Rivian without any spacers or adapters (Center bore, brake clearance) ? Second Question: The...

One thing I never see discussed with the tri and quad is the real HP. While they have 850 and 1,025 respectively...I assume that to be in sport mode at low ride hight, similar to performance mode on the dual. What HP do these actually put out in all purpose/ conserve mode which is what most...

Okay folks, time to put your “EV range anxiety” in the glovebox , If we had one! so maybe put in that strange cubby under the seat? . Yesterday. I loaded up my 2024 Generation 1 Rivian R1S Dual Motor Performance (Standard+ battery pack, EPA-rated 300 miles range which is .~ 2.48 mi/kWh) and...

The default is four + last used...and I knew a long press you could move them around or switch them out... But have we always had the option to pin a 5th quick launch icon? Now that the energy screen had useful information, I've added it to my default icon layout. Is this new or have not...

Horrible and unfortunate news of a young man struck and killed. The news article calls Rivian out specifically. https://ktla.com/news/local-news/teenage-boy-gravely-injured-in-parking-lot-of-l-a-school/

I always call my R1S, our Fancy Subaru, My wife has an outback (sorry ladies, she is straight:D) Subaru just introduced the follow-up to their (really Toyota's) flop of an EV, the Solterra. This could be direct competitor to the R2. It;s more of a wagon / outback sized, but noted that...

While these guys aren't the most EV friendly reviewers, a lot driven by how bad the charging infostructure is in North America, they really beat-up on the drivability of the R1S tri motor in this review. They make some fair points, but overall they didn't enjoy it. Yuri was getting motion...

I did two back to back 0 to 60 runs in my R1S dual performance generation 1. SoC was about 70% , battery temperature at about 55° ambient temperature at about 43° Recorded with Racebox mini.

For those curious as to what visual changes update 2025.06 brings to the dual motor when you have the performance pack unlocked, here's a video. I like that the layout is more consistent with quad and Tri. Spoiler alert, my recommendation is save the $5K and skip adding the performance. I...

Quick video of a few DYI steps to help reduce road noise in the Gen 1 vehicles. I've personally never been bothered by it but I know others bring it up as a point of contention and it may really come down to which tires you have on it. The 20's AT are much noisier than the 22s that I have...
