I updated yesterday. Drove around some today, 30 miles or so. Everything I tried worked fine...UHF, Texting with punctuation, no issues.

Understandably the "room" discussion focuses on front to back legroom. But one of the things I really like about my R1S is the left to right room in the drivers seat. Specifically, I despise large consoles that eliminate the space I want to use for my right knee. Even many largish vehicles I...

I am retried now, but when I was working I was a road warrior. Grand Cherokee with a 25 gallon tank that I would drive full to near empty without stopping, often well over 500 miles. Before that an A4 with a 6 speed that had almost the same range. So an EV would not have worked for me then...

The brake fluid flush thing is extremely important if you plan to use your brakes hard. The water in the brake fluid gets hot and boils, putting air in the Iines and risking brake failure, or at least extreme performance degradation. When I was doing track events I changed brake fluid at least...

I have seen similar performance in my limited use of UHF on straight interstates. The phantom braking thing is a problem, especially when it auto brake checks the car behind you. I found it works better on a rural two lane.

Sorry for the hijack.

In my garage door setup, here is a picture of the part that can scratch the hatch. I like that "pad it" idea, so I just zip tied a piece of rubber hose on to it. I have had other family members open the garage door from the outside while I was inside with the hatch open. Lots of ways this can...

Pad has a chance, good idea. Removal is only an option if you don't want to have an automatic garage door anymore.

The Infinity Shield is an interesting setup, thanks for the info. It would not necessarily help in my particular situation, as my vehicle can be fully inside the garage with the open hatch also fully inside the garage, and the door closing hardware will still contact the outside of the hatch.

It's not about dropping the tailgate with something in the way. It's about having the tailgate open in the garage and closing the garage door with the tailgate open. If your garage ceiling is relatively low, then the curved bracket that connects the chain to the door drags across the outside of...

I have done this to some of my previous vehicles, but so far not to the Rivian. I sympathize with your situation.

Yep. All I could think about was the line from the Godfather. But it was in NY state, so we left the guns at home.

The shells and filling to make 1,000 cannolis for the church spaghetti dinner.

Plenty here. Lake Erie is pretty much frozen over. The dark line in the distance is Canada, about 35 miles away.

I have Race Deck tiles in the part of my garage where I work on stuff. Today I worked on adding running boards to my R1S. ' First step is to raise the vehicle to its highest suspension setting. I learned that doing this brings the wheels closer together, buckling the floor. It straightened...

There is another thread about this from a few months ago. in addition to what’s been said above, any vampire drain counts against the efficiency calculated by the trip odometers. Bottom line the trip odos are not reliable indicators of long term efficiency.

I am in northwest PA, 100+ miles from the nearest SC, and have not been back there since I picked up my vehicle 7 months and 7500 miles ago. Mobile service has come to my house twice, same tech, once to install my spare and once for the turn signal recall. Tire rotation at a third party 2 miles...

2025 R1S Tri-motor. First winter. Stock OEM Pirellis on 22" wheels at 7500 miles. Erie, PA. Mostly suburban driving, some interstate. 35" of snow has officially fallen at the airport. Like many places they built the airport where it snows the least. I suspect 50 plus inches season to date most...

I have both cars and kids. My cars made me poorer. My kids made me richer.
