  1. Poll: How often do you use your frunk?

    I use mine pretty regularly. Usually for trips to the grocery store and Target, but mostly for our leftovers when we go out to eat so they don’t stink up the cab. šŸ™‚
  2. RIVIAN ASSISTANT SOFTWARE UPDA

    *** NEWSFLASH *** Rivian Assistant doesn’t work perfectly and solve world peace right out of the gate, therefore it sucks. Geesh people, give it a chance! šŸ˜‚ Correct, Rivian Assistant has its shortcomings TODAY, but personally, I’ve already found productive uses for it in its current state. It...
  3. Extended warranty- help which one?

    I’d be interested in knowing how many have obtained or will be obtaining an extended warranty. I go back/forth on the ROI. I understand all it takes is one issue that requires thousands of dollars to address…But I just wonder (statistically) how many people who purchase extended warranties...
  4. White powder coated wheels - looking for feedback.

    For the record, I’ve had white wheels in the past (on a Miata I used to own). I never had any issues keeping them clean. I think the ā€œcleanliness/dinginessā€ will only occur if one doesn’t make the effort to simply keep their vehicle clean and maintained. It was a non-issue for me. But...
  5. White powder coated wheels - looking for feedback.

    Just my opinion, but I don’t think the white complements the color of the vehicle. I’d go with black…or perhaps a dark bronze.
  6. First time wheeling the R1T (Uwharrie Trail)

    Good point on vehicle weight v. pressure. This is the first EV truck I’ve ever owned, so I’m not sure I would’ve considered vehicle weight to tire pressure ratio. Although, full disclosure, most of the trails I’ve ever been on didn’t require airing down or anything aside from a trip up in the...
  7. First time wheeling the R1T (Uwharrie Trail)

    A couple of questions, did you decrease air pressure before doing this? And what are your thoughts on the tires you’re running? Looks like a fun afternoon!
  8. Car owners revolting over Tesla's self driving promises

    I think (hope) RJ and the entire Rivian design team are wiser than making promise after promise they know they can’t fulfill…which, to date, seems to be a large part of Elon’s schtick. I had a Model Y Performance that I had the ā€œpleasureā€ of having FSD for a month. To me, it was a party trick...
  9. Single Pedal Driving - Why Not an ICE Feature?

    I would reckon that it’s less efficient, creates more wear on brakes, and requires additional drivetrain/brake complexity…the return on investment (so to speak) doesn’t seem to be there for ICE vehicles…because I think we can all agree that it all comes down to the bottom line for the...
  10. Will Gen1 R1's ever get text ability?

    Rivian just needs to make a simple update to increase the MPS (Miles Per Squirt) across their fleet of vehicles. šŸ˜„
  11. What Actually Fails First in Real-World Rivian Ownership

    In my younger years, before bifocals, I might have agreed with you. But, try driving a vehicle that has a camera image instead of a reflected image in the rear view mirror…go ahead, I’ll wait. Notice how you have to crane your neck like you’re looking at the clouds just so you can see a clear...
  12. Launch Mode - Times

    I gave it a go on Thursday evening. 2022 Quad motor. It was about 50 degrees out, stock all terrain 20ā€ tires, very slight uphill. Launch seemed more ā€œviolentā€ than it did before the update. …in a good way. šŸ˜„
  13. New $59k Cybertruck version announced

    I’d almost be willing to take looks out of the equation (and the SUV version of the Cybertruck, while still bad, is much better looking than the Cybertruck IMHO), but I have a hard time with the aluminum alloy frame, glued on body parts that come loose in the wind, all the sharp angles and...
  14. New $59k Cybertruck version announced

    Perhaps, more importantly, is no one going to mention Newt the cat? I mean, I think the cat is far more interesting than that stainless steel monstrosity Tesla calls a ā€œtruckā€. They had such a great opportunity to smash an EV truck out of the park, but chose the CT instead…and the faithful...
  15. Prospective Buyer - How Does Media from Phone Work?

    That’s fair…I know back when I was among the unclean and owned a *gasp* Tesla, I missed CarPlay…for about a week, then I got used to doing things in a different, but easily workable way. But yeah, for long trips and stuff…and even daily function CarPlay makes things easier, especially if that’s...
  16. Prospective Buyer - How Does Media from Phone Work?

    The phone integration isn’t the best. However, it’s something one easily learns to work with. Would I prefer CarPlay? Absolutely…but it wasn’t a deal breaker, I didn’t purchase my truck to be an infotainment hub. My biggest complaint with the phone integration is receiving messages. Unless...
  17. Pennsylvania Rivian Silver Cargo Crossbars

    Would you be willing to ship to Missouri? I’m interested.
