My Gen1 Tesla Mobile Connector that came with my 2016 Model S, works better with my Gen2 R1T than the current Gen2 Tesla Mobile Connector. The Gen1 always connects no issues, but the Gen2 requires I unplug the power, and plug it back in before connecting to the Rivian, otherwise it won't charge...
Launch Edition Gen 2 2026 Quads came with both the J1772 to NACS AC adapter (in the car at delivery), and the CCS1 to NACS DCFC adapter (mailed separately after delivery). No Mobile NACS Connector included any more with the vehicle. My other 2025 Gen 2 came with the NACS to J1772 AC adapter...
"1. You can charge your EV at virtually any Level 3 charging station (also called high voltage - Direct Current, DC fast chargers, or superchargers) with equipment that matches your vehicle's equipment or for which you have an adapter."
Congrats on your Rivian purchase. Despite the confusion on...
If you get you snow tires mounted on a dedicated set of wheels at Discount Tire, they will install/uninstall premounted winter wheels/tires for free in the Fall/Spring. Much better than having to pay to dismount tires on one set of wheels in the Spring/Fall. You don't have to buy the wheels from...
0.1" is of course not a problem. The difference between your front and rear tires will be more than that as they wear down from use. Not so much of an issue if it's just for a temporary spare tire, but long term, it's more important for both the tires on the same axle to have identical diameters...
Use a tire calculator and do a tire size comparison when using different wheel/tire sizes. If the diameter of the two is close, you won't have any issues using a different wheel/tire size as a spare.

One other benefit of having mounted winter/summer wheel tire...
I've had many tire leaks fixed at Discount Tire, and I assure you, at least at my location, they remove the tire from the wheel and patch from the inside, remount and balance the tire...definitely not a push-through exterior plug.
They do this for free, because there is a good chance the nail is...
Parallel Parking assist for me is painful to use on my Tesla because it is so slow, and so rarely even identifies a "suitable" parking space, but I could see it helping folks that are more challenged. What I would like to see is the summon feature so I can pull my car out of a tight parking...
Whining from a July 2024 deposit? Pssh...I'm still waiting for our Quad Max R1T that we pre-ordered in 2022. They ended up cancelling the Gen1 Quad Max after a few years, and I ended up being forced to a QUAD LARGE config, but then I was waiting for the Powered Tonneau to get fixed before taking...
Now that it's possible to swap wheel sizes in vehicle, without going to a service center, I wonder for those with 20"AT wheels/tires, is there a range increase putting on a 20" All Season in the smaller 275/60-20 size on the 20" AT wheel, and will that increase range over the 21" AS OEM...
Funny, I love my Model S keyfob since PAAK doesn't work reliably for me on my R1S, and am planning to buy some for my Rivians, once they have them in stock again in the Gear Store, and I get my Gen2 Quad.
I love using it to remote summon the car out of a tight parking space, without needing to...
As a 2016 MS P100D and Gen2 R1S owner, seeing your complaint about the lack of Autopark on the Rivian makes me laugh, since the Tesla implementation of Autopark in FSD is hot garbage. It rarely ever even identifies an open spot that is clearly more than enough to fit my Model S into, and even...
I don't mind waiting for Rivian to make it right, and not rush it out. I'm hoping that the Quad will come with the NACS port standard, so I can skip the CCS1 adapter headache. I wonder if the Tesla CCS to NACS adapter will work with the Rivian when that happens, or will there be new adapter...
I got my Gen2 R1S in August, and I'm going through the registration process now. Justin and Jake recommended I do a safety check first which will fail, just to get the vehicle into the system, before I go to the DMV, any suggestions for a place on the Windward side? Where do I need to go to get...
I installed a set of the Gen 1 (2022-2024)3D Maxpider Kagu mats and they work fine with my Gen 2 R1S. Because the mat goes much further up, well past the bottom of the accelerator pedal compared to the OEM Rivian All-Weather mats, the bump on the floor in front of the pedal doesn't cause the lip...
This is exactly what I went through, and why I had held off on buying earlier. Powered Tonneau was very important, and with that missing, and no option for the QUAD MAX, I waited. Now with the voucher expiring 9/30, I ended up getting a R1S gen 2 since it didn't look like they would be making...
