  1. CyberTruck is more than Stainless Steel...Tesla excels at Engineering in so many ways.

    So, maybe the best video yet on the New Cybertruck. I was surprised how much faster it was in a drag race off the line than my R1T...it just goes. I do think most people either love or hate the exterior, but under that tough exterior is some of the best engineering. Tesla has some of the best...

    I don't need new 12V's at this time but came across this video from Ohmmu with a replacement kit for the R1's with LiFePO4 batteries for $499.00. Has anyone tried these or other Li 12V's yet?
  3. New Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 coming soon

    My local tire dealer had told me Michelin was working on a beefed-up Defender tire coming later this year that he felt would be a good option for my R1T with 22" wheels. I found this on Discount Tires website. Looks interesting. From the Discount Tires web site: The best part? The Michelin...

  5. Georgia Plant Update - What I saw on my visit

    Iā€™m in GA for a few days so I took the opportunity to go by Rivianā€™s new plant to see what the progress is. I was here 1 yr ago and they just had signs posted and a few pieces of heavy equipment. Fast forward to this weekend. Itā€™s hard to gain prospective in a drive by as several roads were...
  6. Anyone with experience with a Aeroshield-Wind-Deflector?

    My wife and I will be towing a small (16 ft) vintage camper this summer with our R1T (we've been rebuilding from scratch for the past 2+ years). Many of our trips will be 360 miles or so. Weight-wise, this camper will not be an issue...maybe 2,200 lbs, but aero may be another matter. Just...
  7. Affordable replacement tires for the 22’s -- General Grabber HTS 60

    I have an R1T with the 22ā€ Wheels. Previous, Iā€™ve only seen Pirelli Scorpions as a replacement option. I found this General tire on TireRack. It is rated pretty well on ConsumerReports and is 1/2 the price of the Pirelliā€™s. Iā€™m far from needing new tires, but just thought Iā€™d share this...

  9. XPEL vs Ceramic Pro PPF & Film

    There has been a lot more noise/postings on this forum pertaining to PPF than I think I have seen on any auto forum, with the exception of Tesla, which may be due to their early paint issues. That being said, in the beginning, I was totally against a Full body PPF until I saw the Glacier White...
  10. PPF Affordable DIY from TWRAPS

    I usually keep my vehicles for 7-10 years and have only done PPF in critical areas as PPF definitely has both pros & cons. If you've witnessed PPF fail late in its life, it is a nightmare to remove as it comes off in 1,000 pieces, not in a sheet. Also, once you get a nice rock cut/chip in the...
