  1. R2 Standard Interior loses: ventilated seats, rear heated seats, torch flashlight

    We've an R1S. Visited the showroom in Nashville yesterday and spent time with the R2s. It's not a "mini" R1s. It has it's own personality and capabilities and complements the R1S very well. For the cost/performance, it's a solid vehicle choice for that segment.
  2. Don’t buy a Rivian and why? SORRY!!!!

    Thanks for taking the time to explain the full story behind your thread — I appreciate the extra context. I’ve been driving my Rivian since March 2023 (over three years now), so I’ve seen the company evolve a lot. I get how frustrating service communication can feel, especially when you’re an...
  3. Upgrade from 50 to 60 amp circuit to get to 48 amps of charging? Have 2 EVs.

    Future proof your home... and if you have the space, get two 60 amp circuits (assuming you have enough total amperage feeding the home). It's unlikely you will have fewer EVs later.
  4. Wisconsin Gen 1 tow hook plate mount

    A new one at brainexploder goes for $30 (if <$50, you pay shipping).
  5. R1T LE Turning Whirring Noise

    Not entirely clear what you may be hearing from the video you provided, but perhaps that is what's coming from your 4 corner speakers at low speeds
  6. Driver side window wind noise?

    While this may not be the solution for everyone, after having a new windshield installed, I noticed the noise on the driver’s side increased significantly, almost as if it were coming from inside the door. To test a potential fix, I applied removable blue tape to alter the profile of the water...
  7. LiDAR officially referenced in ADAS development

    Depending on the range requirements and mounting location (similar to radar, there are a variety of LiDAR including long, short and wide FOVs), ADAS quality automotive production LiDAR has dropped from ~$2600 OEM cost in 2022 to <$1k; Vendors are working to reduce to ~$350 and less in the next 3...
  8. Home outdoor charging solutions

    Love this long term (maybe not so long term given the number of EVs now hitting the market) thinking.
  9. Nevermind, I'm an idiot

    Great share... we've had experience with single vs tandem axel trailers and prefer the tandem because of this.
  10. Broken roof glass was replaced with a different type of glass

    A very timely post! A month ago, we had a dented side trim piece replaced. Three days ago, while on a trip with a stop at the plant in Normal, I was cleaning the roof of some bird droppings (or so I thought) and noticed a dramatic difference between the front and back glass similar to your...

    . That should be close, not lose and Rivian v Rivia. Can’t trust Siri.. 🄸
  12. Delivery to Disaster: My Rivian Broke Down in Less Than 24 Hours

    Lose friend purchased a Lightning. After his 2nd charge at home and on a trip 350 miles away, the charging interface died. Had to be towed home. It was fixed. He is back on the road and super happy that he’s electric. That said he still wishes he got the Rivia instead. Not because it broke down...
  13. Study: Aggressive Acceleration Good for Battery Life

    And then there are the tires... probably not as good for them:surprised:
  14. Rivian EV Truck… Does It Belong Off-Road?! - MORR

    Let's see... high centering on a dirt/sand berm in a relatively long truck without a custom frame (like those Matt has on his trucks)... We can all use a little help from time-to-time or as the Japanese proverb says "Even monkeys fall from trees". Best part is that it ended well, no one was...
  15. What amount would you spend to upgrade from Gen1 Quad to Gen2 tri-max?

    How does the tax work in your state when you "trade in" your vehicle for a new one? Do you pay on the difference (I would think unlikely) or on the "whole" amount of the next vehicle?
  16. Franklin TN Service Center - Great experience

    Same for me. Great interactions and support (I'm now at ~52k miles).
  17. Rivian owner creeped out, claims it mimicked what they said

    Got this this morning on my Amazon Had this happen this morning on my Amazon Dot. I expect it is Alexa acting upšŸ˜€.
  18. Tesla nefarious behavior?

    Do you know which LiDAR company? Also, why would it matter if LiDAR, radar or other color sensor is company is doing the testing? Radar and LiDAR are active illuminators (i.e., emitting signals in their respective wavelengths that triggers the sensor's receiver(s)) and they operate at...
  19. Frunk Continuesly opening

    Had similar experience, "fixed" with some minor adjustment, came back and ultimately ended up with new hinges for the frunk (took 10 days to do it because they have to paint the hinges to match), now working well for >1,5 years.
  20. 20" Inch Huh, new OEM 20" AT tires installed 6 months/9000 miles ago. Rear tires are now bald.

    With my most recent tire rotation, I saw wear was SUBSTANTIALLY more than the other three. I queried the tire shop why I lost about 40% tread vs. 20% on the other three. He checked the date code and discovered the offending tire is two (2) years older than the other three. I don't know if this...
