    @SnowCo, DM me your zip code, and I will look into it.

    Selling OEM 21" wheels (rims only, no tires) after getting aftermarket 20" Atomic rims. They have about 25k mi on them. Can sell as a set or individually. The wheels are in very good condition, with minor cosmetic signs of wear. All of them are structurally sound, no accidents or bumps. Up...
  3. California Aero Wheel Covers (21") - set or individual

    Aero wheel covers for 21" wheels, in excellent condition. #4 has a hairline crack seen on the top of the 5 leaves as seen in the photo - hardly noticeable and does not appear structural to me. Selling #1/#2/#3 for $35 each, #4 for $25. Entire set for $120. In San Francisco Bay Area, can also...
  4. Atomic Wheels on Rivians - Installed Photos

    Just installed a set of Atomic wheels on our Rivian. We had them in the garage for a few months, waiting for the OEM 21" tires to wear out. They were close to done around 25k mi, and felt shaky in the wet, so on with the Atomics. We went for 20" in satin black, with the Michelin Defender LTX...
  5. Today I F***ed Up - Range Cockiness

    Don't beat yourself up - knowledge comes from experience, and experience comes from bad decisions... I was in a similar situation, coming back from a camping trip with the kids in the back. Rather than stopping at a slower but tried&true Shell fast charger in the middle of nowhere on I-5, I...
  6. 20" Michelin Defender LTX Platinum Tires review -- For all of you thinking about a 20" tire! Your wait is over!

    With apologies if this has been posted already (couldn't spot it), this gentleman gives a very good close-up and description of the tread pattern on the Platinums: I never thought there was connectivity in those central grooves, and was wondering how the tire can possibly cope with wet...
  7. 21" curb rash repair

    @beyond, no, I did not. The sanded and polished part looked just like the surrounding rim material, and the service rep who came to do a tire rotation also told me that he didn't think the 21" rims had a clear coat on them. So it's been like this since. I don't notice it or think about it any...
  8. 21" curb rash repair

    Well, here's what it looks like after a moderate amount of effort, I would say. I popped the center cap and looped a piece of string that allowed me to move the Dremel/sanding block/my hand kind of radially to get a more uniform edge. It's not perfect, as the gashed were of varying depths, but...
  9. 21" curb rash repair

    Thanks, all. I have made a start with a mini grinding wheel and some sandpaper. It's already improved things. I have an idea how to make it stand out even less. Will post results when done. @Jakelake, unbelievable... I feel your pain. That's just offensively bad luck. The brain is hard to turn...
  10. 21" curb rash repair

    Backed into a stone fire pit in the dark, which drew first blood on the 21" rims... Fortunately the damage is fairly minor, and limited to the unpainted (shiny) portion of the rim. Am I right that this is CNC machined? Is there a clear coat on top too, or is it bare metal surface? How would...
  11. Another "critical battery issue" story

    Oh brother, I am sorry. I know how this feels. If it makes you feel any better, we've had the vehicle back for ~1,500mi and it's been fine. The only glitch was some new road noise that I noticed. Turns out they had not secured the plastic underbody panels properly and they were rattling. A...
  12. Another "critical battery issue" story

    Yup... That's what we were told, believe it or not. These vehicles are meant to be simpler that IC vehicles, but evidently the practical know-how and pedigree of technicians looking at them may not have caught up yet. At Rivian, at least. Curious how early Tesla owners view the situation...
  13. Steep incline oddities

    I noticed a couple of things go funky in the R1S when parked on a steep incline. Curious if anyone else has encountered these? 1. When I was parked on a steep downhill, the tailgate would not close automatically when I pressed the button. Odd, since the force on the hydraulic is greatest when...
