Toyota, through its stakes, has an alliance of brands that are all resisting electrification. It has a very visible internal struggle between the regressives and progressives. Senior management, being in charge, is currently winning that fight. And the Japanese government is on the same page...
Probably offends you but you have to admit there is truth in this (unless you have absolutely no idea where Subaru stands on EVs): between a brand that wholeheartedly believes in electric cars as the way forward and one that would rather not build any if they can help it… there’s no comparison...
Adjust angle of your seat bottom, so your weight is better distributed between your upper legs and posterior. Angle of your seat back play a role in this too.
If the factory lumbar isn't enough, you can get aftermarket lumbar pillows, some are even inflatable rather than foam. Avoid adding...
Never noticed or observed this behavior. Unless cabin temperature is extremely high, climate shouldn't be on until you press on the brake pedal. Time for a full reset maybe. Check your climate hold setting too, make sure it isn't enabled.
There is most definitely a penalty to be paid. Especially if most driving is not steady highway speeds. Rotational mass increases exponentially with increasing rotational speed. That means even a slight increase in static mass can have great impact once in motion. Physics. Factory 20" AT wheels...
FYI, the Bridgestone Ascent in 275/60R20 has load rating of 115. Right under Rivian's specification of of 116. Most tire shops will not install due to liability. Toyos in this smaller size do meet Rivian's specifications and is a XL tire. In this smaller size you also have option of Nitto Terra...
Has anyone actually tried to contact BFG? It may just be a simple clerical mistake or the size is so new that it hasn't been tested for the rating or results not yet entered into the system. Even if it doesn't... not a big deal to put on chains or snow socks when required. Or swap to a set of...
IMO, winter wheels needn’t be fancy like factory or most aftermarket wheels. TireRack has a MSW model that is much more affordable with same +48 offset and width as factory wheels. There is also that one RAM wheel that is even cheaper and could be made to work with the right size hub ring. Forum...
No. It might just be caused by the new software as some suspect. But not certain. I’m scheduled to install it tonight. 12V was just replaced by SC few months ago.
I had same thoughts about front crumple zones until I watched one of their videos. They designed the front with 14” of it, which is within regulations and about average for most cars. The wheels are just pushed out to the corners to maximize space for HV pack. It should actually be pretty safe.
Depends on the SC. Some will let you buy just the wheels, but it’s going to cost you a big chunk. Better off searching for used factory wheels or go aftermarket. And don’t buy tires from SC even if they offered. There is no need to do that and pay high prices. Your local tire shop or any of the...
