IMHO, if you ask anyone "What's your favorite color?" outside the context of picking one for a car, black/white/silver/gray will have a pretty poor showing, percentage wise. There are lots of good reasons for it (practical, hides dirt, resale value, etc.). But do they really love it like someone...
Interesting clip from RJ on black Rivians. Essentially he has tried to discontinue it but enough people only want a black car. He feels that black, especially with black wheels and black trim is inconsistent with the brand.
This poll is interesting in that it skews toward the 4 "colors" offered rather than the typical black/white/silver/gray that dominate the automotive world. IMHO, it probably says more about the forum than what the actual take rates will be.
In looking at the 2 images of splines you guys (HaveBlue and Nixapatfan) posted, it looks to me like there are clear differences. Whether this is a revision change or damage, I'm not sure. But the fact that the first one also had the mating part slide easily makes me think it may be damaged...
If you look at the parts lists folks have been posting recently when they have the work done (e.g. rev G halfshafts) they include the mating hubs. I think if the hub is worn, and there is no reason to think that it would not be worn as badly as the halfshaft, it is likely to damage the new...
Just to help help out the OP: I did find a fix for your specific problem.
Log out of Apple Music (if you aren't already out)
Try to log back in, but DO NOT scan the QR code. Instead tap the blue "Log in as another user" message just above the QR code.
Log in as your original account (NOT...
If it's any consolation, chances are the sounds will become more obvious and easier to reproduce by the time your service appointment comes around. My "ride along" with the service tech consisted of backing it up halfway out of a parking spot.
Just to chime in on this, my latest fix included the halfshafts AND hubs as an assembly. This seems to be the key. The thinking is that by the time you get the clunking noise, both the halfshafts and the hubs are worn to the point that there is some play. Replacing the halfshaft alone still...
Discount Tire and Tire Rack have official partnerships with Rivian. I use DT for my rotations (free) with no issues. You might want to call ahead and check that they have the lifting pucks. I also print out the instructions from the manual and open the plastic access hatches for the pucks just...
That's how I have mine mounted (backwards so that the tent opens on the driver's side). Turns out that it makes almost no difference aerodynamically. However, taping over the slots in the roof spoiler does, according to this test:
Anyone figure out if Alexa can be used to control Apple Music? She keeps saying "Apple music is not installed on this device". First world problem, I know. But it would be nice...
This - verified by checking the sidewall of the tires as actually installed on the truck. The Nittos seem to be one of only 3 tires available in the OEM size with the 116SL load rating, which gives it a weight/efficiency advantage (no need to start another whole discussion about all the other...
This (long) thread on the Nitto Recon Grappler AT s probably worth your attention:

Another important factor (for me at least) is battery temperature. Typically, the first 10 miles of my commute, to or from work are terrible for efficiency, almost regardless of any other factors. I suspect that if this makes up a substantial portion of a dataset, it will dominate. Again, why...
22,364 miles on 20” OEM AT. Lifetime 1.85. My commute is 21 miles with hills around Portland so temps vary. The main takeaway for me is that it is basically impossible to control all the conditions (terrain, temperature, driving style, loading, etc.) but the OP’s comparitve data is the most...
A dedicated thread for 34" tires would be great. There has been a fair amount of misunderstanding between folks asking questions about 34" tires, then receiving answers referring to 33" tires, and vice versa. Your other thread which specifies 275/60/R20 33" in the title is much appreciated. An...
