The harsh reality and truth is - for people saying preconditioning isn’t worth it, doesn’t affect the car in noticeable ways, etc all just have no idea at all what cold temperatures do to electric vehicles. And by cold, I don’t mean 50 degrees like some here seem to think is cold. If you left...

Unfortunately no not yet. There are a couple of manual alternatives though that will help you on colder days in the morning. 1. In the morning maybe 15-25 min before you are heading on a trip turn on your cabin temperature and then start battery charging simultaneously. (You may need to...

I did get it plugged. Drove around with the kids for Halloween tonight. I’ll see how it goes, but I don’t feel as shitty about it as I did 24 hours ago. Discount Tire did it for free.

The problem is I have 21s and there are no alternatives. It appears you have 20s and have all the alternatives.

Nope nope nope. lol!

So here in Minnesota it snowed early on us. We had a pretty wet and slushy snow today that had accumulated for a few hours and I decided with what I assumed to be very few cars on the road - a good chance to give the 21s the chance I’ve been waiting for. I started in all purpose but quickly went...

I think it was the right thing to do for Rivian to ax full production of this option. At the price point, this vehicle really should have at least some premium feel interior touch points and the wood is a really nice touch.

I’m not a fan of this. They need to separate out the poors a bit more. You don’t get performance pages in a Ram 1500. You don’t get Baja mode in a Maverick. It shouldn’t be an issue to trigger features exclusive to performance driven trim levels.

This isn’t all true - swaps and the 5yr have been predicting massive drops in cost of capital forecasted 24 months since June only until a few days ago.

Can’t find Halloween mode on mine. Not in the settings screen

I will pray for your safety. At least with the 22s you have the option for winter tires - with the 21s I’m kind of SOL. lol

Color me surprised that your 500lbs Civic with paper thin tires did well in the winter. I appreciate the analysis, but the vehicles I’m used to driving are about 50x the size in both weight and girth. Tires are huge in winter driving, and having lived in Minnesota my entire life, there is a...

Thanks! I’ve been thinking about getting 20s and some snow tires. Historically I’ve had a Raptor/Subaru/Bronco/Jeep but after selling off some of the fleet I’m down to Tesla S/X and the R1S. Unsure if I should unload the S for a Subaru or risk the biscuit with the Rivian and the road tires

How were the 21s in winter and snow?

Now here is a story all about how some guy whose expectations were upside down now let me take a minute just sit right there I’ll tell you all about a guy who never read an R1 article from Bel Air.

If you need exact specifics or your literal coordinates at any given time are accessible on the main page of your phone app. There should also be mile markers where you’re at. I lived in the middle of no where for 20yrs where everything was dirt roads and adjacent towns had 500 to 1500 people...

Super dumb to flease to begin with. Zero use case. Zero rationale. Just for poor people to keep them poor which is sad. The fact congress couldn’t make this work in at a minimum a financing scenario for people and are going to put people in fleasing and debt situations and likely with no option...

I will say when I did my Rivian first drive event and test drove the R1S probably 8 months ago now I was extremely concerned. Felt like a boat going over waves. My R1S delivered 3 weeks ago has been perfect. Very smooth, no weird jitters and and overall pleasant experience. I can’t say why this...

Came here to say I use my camp speaker all the time. While I don’t enjoy some of its connectivity issues, the sound quality in mine is superb with rather significant clarity. Obviously I didn’t buy a dedicated audio music speaker here - but for what it is, I find it to be more than suitable and...

I called the Rivian Service Center tonight and was told the 20” AT wheels would be about $3100. A bit more expensive than I anticipated. They also gave me a hot tip I’m gonna try tomorrow morning with their wheels.. I will report back if it’s true or not.
