    What Does Tire Warranty Actually Mean?

    So, I've read (what feels like) hundreds of posts on tires for our heavy beasts. I'm going to be switching from the EOM Pirelli 20" tires (275 65-R20) eventually, and I've been wondering what to go to. Among all the posts, there mentions here and there of a particular tires warranty. 70,000...

    I'm planning to head out with my wife and 2 dogs tomorrow and I'm banking on a good experience at the Aberdeen WA Rivian Adventure Network (RAN) charger.

    Passenger Headrest issues -- fit / firmness?

    So, my wife is a bit on the shorter side of things as far as stature goes. She's ridden in the R1S a few times and has complaned about fit / firmness of the headrest. Basically, her head comes up to meet right between the seat and the headreast (that gap between the two) and as a result the...

    R1S Towing - Experience or Advice?

    The R1S User Manual states: "The R1S can tow up to 7,7000 lbs using a weight distributing hitch, and up to 5,000 lbs using a standard hitch." I've been hauling my 6,500 lb (boat + trailer) around using a Toyota Sequoia with a standard hitch. Other than this I have very little tow-driving...

    Can one connect the Rivian Wall Charger before R1 arrives?

    I have my Rivian Wall Charger installed before my Rivian R1S has arrived. Can I connect the charger to my wifi before the R1S arrives, or do I have to wait? If I can connect, can someone explain how or point me to a resource?

    What would you do (drive or transport)?

    Upgrading capacity to home?

    I met with an electrician at our house today. He said we're maxed out on the current panel. I trust him, but would like to verify that. For the record, we do have a lot of heavy load appliances in our house (most not used) - 3 dryers, 1 in-wall heater, a hot tub, a sauna. We took out the hot...

If you were paying attention there was a brief callout to the vehicles driving Richard and the crew from the landing sight to the media center.

    Service Center Purpose?

    So, with the discussion going on about how Guide contact & delivery may be impacted by the presence of an operating service center, it made me wonder, what purpose Rivian has designed for their service centers. Now, this may appear to be obvious, "to service vehicles, duh". But, if I recall...
