Oh, well hell. I guess Rivian got it wrong and should've collaborated with you for their R2 Marketing and STEM push! RJ, yes, this guy right here!! ...

Ok, so let me get this straight. He did one thing that you fundamentally disagree with, so his character in totality is completely dismissive and outright regarded as outcast to you? Sorry, I must have missed it: what exactly have you done to improve the interest, exposure, and build excitement...

For real, has everyone seen this? We need more of this. He's a national treasure.

If you think that's frustrating, I deal with the same thing when using 'rear accessory.' I'm not even towing anything, and still have to deal with it! That's really silly--I theorize this should be relatively straightforward to dismiss in software, but I'll even get all of the adjacent notices...

These things are going to take relative wear and tear based on your driving habits, environments and exposures, and how well you maintain your windscreen + protection. In my experience, I got almost 2.5 years out of my first windscreen film (not the TWraps version, to be clear). I have had...

Have you tried asking your Rivian Assistant?? :D

This design seems VERY suboptimal for tire changes in any non-idealized environment. IE: roadside tire changes, or even more concerning: off-road tire swaps. If there's no positive engagement, and you're on any kind of slope or loose terrain, the odds of something going sideways, LITERALLY, are...

I hate this distinction. Highways are engineered to handle semi trucks, which are typically hauling 55,000 lbs-m or more. And while, yes, they're subjected to around $550/year to account for their advanced wear, most EVs are falling closer to 5,000 lbs-m (Tesla M3, MY, R2, for example). So...

I've never taken Adderall, but thanks for that. You're right, my input was unsolicited. I'll be on my way :) Hopefully you get the feedback you're looking for!

I'm happy to take some flak for this, and it's totally my opinion. I've done TONS of things in my lifetime. Most recently taken up whitewater kayaking. And I do it with Coaches. My favorite thing on the planet (sarcasm and crass) is when people tell me about their experience in the absence...

My short anecdote: when I talked to my (at the time) insurance (Liberty Mutual), they said 'off-road' isn't covered and they recommended I find something similar to a 'track day' insurance for those types of events. Effectively, roads in which the normal 'road laws' do not apply. IE: are you...

Always good advice to shop around, but be advised that your experience is not universal. Rivian's insurance cut my rate in half and beat the pants off of nearly every other option I explored. So, this is very much a YMMV, and seemingly so wherever I have witnessed these same comments. You'll...

This is likely unhelpful, but just perspective. 1- I had the same conversation with and felt good about Nationwide's supporting our offroad endeavors, as this was a consideration of mine as well. 2- these vehicles are extremely capable and the risk offroad is directly proprotional to 3- your...

Maybe you can ask the Rivian AI to resume your cruise???

Interesting. I'm curious about this. When I bought my truck from the Shop, it came with (was packaged with) the Rivian EVSE; so I was forced to buy it. Even though I do agree that it's trash (I had 2 of them derate themselves needlessly), the support has been great. They just send a new one...

Did you say filter? Maybe someone should test that for efficacy and flow... 👀

We need an AI bot to auto-respond to threads like these (given there are at least 10 pages of Google results JUST for RivianForums members wanting to discuss 20" tires... That's just like my opinion, man...): https://riviantrackr.com/rivian-tire-guide/

Lockers aren't necessary. And they're moreso unnecessary when you take actual classes from people who know what they're doing, who can demonstrate to you that YOU are the weak link in the vehicle's capabilities. Just my unsolicited .02. I'm not here for debate. I've done that enough on this...

Just spitballing: Would it help to record that phenomenon and share it with service? Unfortunately (?) I'm not going to this next off-road event. I'm doing the overlanding trip at the end of the month instead :)

I'd like to add my 2 cents here, just for some perspective. And before I even get to that, I met 2kwik4u. He was at one of the NERC off-roading courses. He's a good dude. I don't think he's a fanboy, but now that I've established that 1-I have this bias, and 2- it's hard to accept nuance and...
