    22" Inch Tire Options

    It's been hard to make a true apples-to-apples comparison but I have not noticed any difference in efficiency with the new Contis, either around town or on a road trip. I'm still super happy with these tires.

    I got notification of renewal docs via email but no phone calls.

    Rivian R2 communication desert?

    You simply have to sign up to receive their communications.

    Rivian announces Free LTE Connectivity through early 2024

    Nope, not while you're driving.

    Wacky headlight pattern?

    Well, Tesla has never been known to follow convention even when there's good reason. :)

    Wacky headlight pattern?

    Perhaps due to owners "fixing the problem"?

    “Refresh” prediction

    It's not a matter of ripping off band-aids. They won't move to NACS ports until 2025 as previously reported because they simply haven't had enough lead time since the agreement with Tesla to engineer that change, adjust supply chains, and get that into production now.

    Picked up R1S 3/31/2024 - broke two blocks later followed by a catastrophic failure

    This is exactly why Rivian has a 7 day return window and provides opportunities to drive a Rivian prior to purchase. It's just a bit difficult to drive the specific VIN that has been assigned to you prior to completing the purchase. It's also quite a bit of paperwork to unwind loans, insurance...

    Picked up R1S 3/31/2024 - broke two blocks later followed by a catastrophic failure

    I also don't mind that we disagree. But you put your opinion out for public comment so I'm just trying to understand your point of view because it is clearly very different from my own - which doesn't make you wrong. I do fully agree with you that it doesn't sound like Rivian's communication...

    Picked up R1S 3/31/2024 - broke two blocks later followed by a catastrophic failure

    I'm just curious how you justify this line of thinking, especially when the problem was easily repaired? Seems an emotional response with no bearing on any contractual obligation from Rivian. Regardless, truly hope you get this resolved soon, however it plays out.

    Picked up R1S 3/31/2024 - broke two blocks later followed by a catastrophic failure

    The vehicle didn't break down on a test drive, it broke down 2 minutes after you signed on the dotted line. Unfortunate timing but you were the legal owner at that point. So you're entitled to compensation for your inconvenience? Meh. You paid for a vehicle, Rivian owes you that vehicle in...

    “Refresh” prediction

    I don't really expect much of a refresh at all. Manufacturing efficiency, yes. Rearranging to make room for R2 production, yes. But I'm not expecting any meaningful change to the product at this point. Will be happy to be proven wrong. Maybe they introduce a new, functional, charge pad or a...

    2024 R1S more Oomph to close final door

    The last door (doesn't matter which door) has always required extra effort to close in my early '23 build. It's air pressure, plain and simple. If there is an inconsistency across doors, it's because the air has found a path to escape. Could perhaps be a less air-tight seal from certain door...

    Picked up R1S 3/31/2024 - broke two blocks later followed by a catastrophic failure

    No guarantees a replacement won't have issues of its own. They've repaired your vehicle and reset your 7 day, I'd collect my vehicle and move forward with life. I don't understand wanting to hold out for a different vehicle. Whether it be an hour, a day, a month, or years after delivery...

    Burnt wire in the wall charger

    Some EVSE will not even accept #4 Romex (although that doesn't stop some, I've seen a few cringe stories of folks trimming strands to make it work 😮).

    Rivian announces Free LTE Connectivity through early 2024

    It wouldn't surprise me if they align that change with a major infotainment update that introduces video streaming and whatever other goodies are in the works. I'm guessing (with absolutely nothing to justify the opinion) that will happen early to mid summer.

    Burnt wire in the wall charger

    When shopping for a new electrician, I highly recommend working with someone who has actual experience installing EVSEs. A lot of electricians are not yet familiar with these devices and the fact that they draw continuous loads. Think of it as seeing a medical specialist instead of a general...

    NOW AVAILABLE - OpenSourceEV Camp Drawer - a Camp Speaker replacement

    Thanks! That addresses my concern about a heavy object forcing the drawer open during emergency braking.
