  7. Insulate Your Glass Roof - Improve Comfort, Efficiency

    Interesting thread. I really enjoy our glass roof. Our grandchildren love it. They have been know to complain when they are in a vehicle without a glass roof. I have had sunroofs and moonroofs in several of our vehicles over the years and have hardly ever opened them. They require more...

  9. Tesla self-driving is so much safer, you get an insurance discount for using it

    So, I'm guessing here, you get a discount when using FSD, they monitor all the time. They then increase my rate when I accelerate fast and again when I park in my garage when proximity alarms are going off because all the treasures around my trucks.
  10. Clunk noise (and feel) when accelerating and decelerating

    Make sure you can duplicate it and get it checked out. The Houston Service Center has been great to work with. I normally take a tech on a drive to allow them to hear/experience an issue.
  11. Are charging stations dynamically added to navigation during trip?

    I have had charging stops added during a trip. It seems like one was removed once... I have seen my estimated range at the destination increase and decrease due to traffic slowdowns or lack of traffic when I can go faster.
  12. How long do you plan to keep your current Rivian?

  14. 21" Inch What does everyone do with their 21" wheels when they inevitably replace them?

    I would like to have another set of 21's. I put the Michelin's on at 21k and they have been awesome. I was looking the other day and saw 5 different tire options for 21's. BTW, I took the covers off and bought the center caps. These wheels are fine for what I do. I haven't bought any because...
  15. R2 Service Loaner?

    We use to own BMW vehicles. The dealership we bought from had highly optioned loaners. The service Advisor once told me that the loaners drove a lot of sales for the new cars. I would prefer a Rivian loaner. Show us what is new and neat. Spoil us with the new features and then give us our old...
