  1. Cybertruck Laugh of the Day [⚠️ WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS BANNED]

    There's a hilarious video on reddit. https://packaged-media.redd.it/vzpbaky6d42h1/pb/m2-res_480p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&c=wh_ben_en&var=sgpssan&v=1&e=1779246000&s=9ad1cab7f8297a4ab9bc9c4cf526a3b3911daf96
  2. "Rivian has identified your R1 may be at risk of experiencing a 12-volt battery failure."

    Hmm, I hadn't seen that BT was a symptom, but I've been having intermittent dropouts lately and just got the text for 12v replacement. USB has been getting worse too. But vampire drain has stayed consistent at 1℅/12hr. Mobile service scheduled for next week...
  3. Rivian Gear Spring Sale

    You can buy the R2 camo camp towels. They're actually pretty nice. (Edit: not on sale though)
  4. Rivian Named One of America’s Most Innovative Companies 2026 by FORTUNE Magazine

    The fortune list is readable with an ad blocker. It's just a list with no discussion. Rivian is #68 for process innovation (275 last year). T*sla is 17 for product innovation. Alphabet, Microsoft, Apple, Abbot are tops, all for product innovation. fwiw
  5. Firestone Winterforce LT Review?

    "Winter" #2 I had these on for only about 2 months. 2498 mi at 1.99 mi/kWh. I didn't get to see serious snow, although they did fine in a windpacked campsite. Solid through switchbacks on well-plowed highways. One cold morning they were perfectly planted on a mix of white snow-dusted ice, black...
  6. Feature Request: Activate Side Mirror Flood Lights in Off-Road Modes — Rivian, Please Read

    Automatic? No way Off road only? bah I'd like to activate the lights in any drive mode for parking into/out of my garage with mirrors folded as well as trail/camp obstacles. Turn off over 8mph or when the other lights go off after parked.
  7. New $59k Cybertruck version announced

    funny, last weekend I saw a Cybertruck do that from the left lane in moderately heavy traffic (little space but moving well). I was a little too far back for RoadCam to get a good shot.
  8. Windshield Washer Fluid Odor in Cabin

    Yes, the spray is smaller in low temperatures, especially with the OEM summer fluid below freezing. Have you been in cold weather? Many here seem to love the chemical smell. I switched to a less noxious de-icer for winter or bug remover version for summer.
  9. Renting an R1S

    You should be able to tap. But plug n charge with no or expired cc on vehicle's account may confuse it? In any case, the OP will find other networks closer to their trip endpoints.
  10. Renting an R1S

    They'll have the 3PMSF logo. Just check the tread depth. A quarter inserted behind Washington's head into a 6/32 tread will cover all the space up to his hair. Hopefully we'll get snow so it will mean something to check. In any case hope you have fun.
  11. Renting an R1S

    What's the tire quality? See the Colorado Passenger Vehicle Traction and Chain Laws M+S or mountain snowflake 6/32 tread
  12. Random Rivian Photos of the Day - Post Yours! 📸

    A new family moved into the neighborhood and they don't like EVs. Or maybe just me...
  13. Silver Window Trim Fell Off!

    Wow, funny! So how does it appear that it should be secured? Just snap in the edges? Just curious, could you post a picture of the back side of the trim? Is it silver/chrome colored too, i.e. is the chrome baked into the plastic or just painted on the top side?
  14. Rivian prominently featured in two new movies: High 2 Low and Play Dirty

    Play Dirty was surprisingly honest product placement by Rivian. I mean, the R1S windshield shattered almost immediately.
  15. “OEM” TPMS - Huf RDE232V26

    $40 at tpmsbargains No affiliation, and I haven't used them yet as I'm waiting for a new set of winter wheels. I have one of the Amazon RDE232V26 in my spare, it works but the valve stem is short with fragile threads.
  16. 20" Inch 20" Sparco Sterrato + Toyo Open Country AT EV 275/65/20 + Swap Wheel Settings

    Looks great! Those wheels are new and not even on the sparco website (mentioned in the 20" wheel thread). Tirerack has no specs either, and still limited availability. Where did you get them? Did you happen to weigh them? Or was there a spec sheet included? Certainly choose a 20" AT setting...
  17. EU carmakers ‘days away’ from halting work as chip war with China escalates

    It seems the chips, or components, are actually made in the EU and shipped to China for packaging then back to EU auto makers. ?? Nexperia halts chip supplies to China in threat to global car production
  18. EU carmakers ‘days away’ from halting work as chip war with China escalates

    Yeah, and we've certainly seen how fragile a single source supply chain is the last 5 years, especially with varying politics. It may have been cost efficient; hopefully companies will learn a lesson on sustaining production.
  19. EU carmakers ‘days away’ from halting work as chip war with China escalates

    From the Guardian Also, Volkswagen indicates shortage of Chinese chips would hit profits The situation seems mostly political, so will be hard to discuss, but it will be interesting to see what happens.
