So the jack point on the car is not even wide enough for a typical floor jack saddle?

THe pad is almost certainly big enough for a floor jack saddle - has to be since two post lift pads are similar size. Looks like the depression in the middle is meant for the scissor jack that comes with the spare tire kit.

Have none of you ever seen a mercedes or BMW jack point?

Is your living room perhaps lacking stylish side tables?

So no measurements, no questions asked, one guy eyeballing both and yep definitely doesn't work?

torx plus in particular is much more assembly friendly than hex head or even normal torx. also torx/torx plus is much more suited to a flat or button head fastener than internal hex because it's way harder to strip out the head

It's important to consult the AHJ's SME for the correct TLA or there will be a SNAFU PDQ

I've had a window "explode" like this on a very hot day. Not on a rivian. But still. This sort of thing is what insurance is for. Zero percent chance any manufacturer would warranty it.

It's a concept item from rivian.

I would not want a lithium 12v battery, even in an EV, in winter. Unless it has its own lil heater.

Always put the better tires on the front, that's where the steering and most of the stopping happens.

That's not super crazy given they are in different size classes. By way of example, Toyota 4runner weighs about 1800lbs less than a Toyota sequoia

Canada isn't Europe, CMVSS108 is largely harmonized with the US' FMVSS 108. Most Canadian vehicles come with US-spec lighting. I'd bet the tiny amber part used as a turn signal is too small to meet surface area requirements for a turn signal in north america. CMVSS allows some ECE lighting -...

The picture is AI slop.

I would get a gen1 if it had the same features as my original preorder. We were out when the price of our quad motor max pack configuration went from $140k or so to about $190k, dropping some of the "killer app" features like power tonneau, and then became nonexistent for a whle. I drove one in...

My wife remains angry with rivian for what we were going to get turning into vapourware. Instead of an R1t, we ended up with a parallel hybrid, that is...two parallel cars. A 2016 E63 wagon, and a VW egolf. The former carries almost anything as quickly as possible and the latter is the best...

They had offered a "voucher" at some point to offset the price increase, albeit not entirely. I don't think they would have honoured my pricing, as my configuration ceased to exist for a while - quad motor max pack, power tonneau, etc. Not having a nearby service centre would be less of an...

Rivian has decided I could buy one! Only $50k more than my preorder from 4 years ago. I don't know wether to laugh or cry. Going to see if R3X is vapourware or not instead

An Rivian suspension engineer told me they have too much droop travel to do the citroen tire changing trick.
