Jacumba east of San Diego status update. This will be great when it comes online. There is also a major solar install going in nearby so cool to see it all happen at the same time.
Endless BLM maze out there. Check out the Barstow to Vegas (b2v) motorcycle routes. They can get a little chunky at times, but usually they stay close to civilization. Also there's the SoCal BDR route that runs through Primm behind the solar plant and you can flank the interstate as long as you...
Dumb question here... I have the stock OEM Pirelli 20's (34") and a full size spare. If I switch to the Goodyear 20's (33") can I keep the Pirelli on the spare and run in an emergency or will the different radius cause problems with the drive system? Wondering how this works with the R1S and...
Rivian updated them. The current version is slightly darker (less two tone) and the yellow tag has less orange in it, to better match the compass yellow on the caliper and other corporate logos.
There are two different part codes. The photo you have looks like the older version which is no...
It means people stop and stare and talk to each other. When you are in the outskirts of Tijuana or Ensenada, this is not what you want...
I've been going down there for years and it's been bad lately. I won't take the truck down there again, even though it was perfect for the roads and doing...
Long Way Up was a brilliant and courageous series. I remember watching the original Long Way with Ewan & Charlie and couldn't help but be drawn in to the scenes and scenarios. It was escapism at its best and opened a world of adventure to all sorts of people. The other series' started to feel a...
Exactly. Everyone rants about the need for a mechanical diff. Myself included in the past! Why wouldn't software be able to sync the two front wheels, or the two back, or all four to the slowest moving wheel with the most traction? It could, but they don't believe it's any better than "rock...
I’ve taken an R1T down once and probably won’t do it again. Most of the charging infrastructure is open to non-teslas and reliable enough, but honestly the car got a lot of unwanted attention. We were in northern Baja and crossed in Otay on the way down and came back up through Tecate. Check...
Software Update 2024.23
Rivian Autonomy Platform
The premium driver assistance features are now called the Rivian Autonomy Platform.
The Rivian Autonomy Platform+ adds the new advanced feature, Lane Change on Command, which automatically performs lane changes in the direction of the turn signal...
Yes exactly. The only legit road up there. Very twisty and tight. Turns to dirt eventually. Curious how much battery you burn on the way up but you’ll be downhill all the way to big pine on the way back. There’s a dirt road that heads out to the east but nothing out there for charging. You would...
I’ve done it on a heavy ADV bike (KTM 1290R). I probably would pass in an R1 due to a couple considerations:
1) Time of year. July is going to be hot. If you are going up Silver Canyon, I’d imagine things will get warm. No place to turn around once the climb starts and it’s going to be a slow...
I've been using this for a couple of years. Doesn't leave a heavy residue and will last through a couple months of storm cycles. It won't lock in defect like some other "ceramic" treatments. Works well on all rubber and plastic parts. Bed cap ends on the R1T, crossbars, and plastic trim under...
They sent out a pre-sale marketing email today. Hopefully not a joke if they are taking deposits...
From their email:
It's April fools day, but this isn't a joke.
We are proud to announce the development of the first camper and topper engineered for specifically for the Rivian R1T that...
