  1. Feeling windshield wipers in accelerator pedal?

    Yup, Iā€™ve noticed it too. Mainly when on high.

  2. 21" tread replacement

    Iā€™m at 5/32 remaining and havenā€™t noticed a difference in noise and handling yet. 2/32 (at the wear bars) is the legal limit in most states, but youā€™ll likely have worse traction in rain and snow at that point. Tirerack recommends replacing at 4/32 for better safety in the rain and 5/32 if you...

  3. Tread life and alignment

    Wow, only 11k and need new tires? Mine isn't that bad in comparison. Must be that New Jersey driving style...that's where I learnt to drive :CWL::CWL::CWL:

  4. Tread life and alignment

    Hi all! Has anyone seen an improvement in tire tread life after getting an alignment? Or does anyone believe that they had faster tire wear because their alignment was off? My r1t with 21ā€ tires has 13k miles and Iā€™m down to 5/32ā€ of tread. Fronts were wearing faster and its evened out after...

  5. Will I be the only Rivian in New England?

    It means drive cam is not recording. Check your storage device to make sure itā€™s plugged in.

  6. Well that sucks! Rivian insurance doubles in 1 year

    I have Rivianā€™s insurance, via Cincinnati financial (Rivian does not use nationwide in MA). My rates went up substantially at the 1yr renewal. I contacted my agent at Rivian and they found minor changes to optimize the coverage that had a very large reduction in rates. Try contacting them and...

  7. Tire costs, about what Gas costs per mile.

    This doesnā€™t apply to the 21ā€ tires which only have one variant and that variant has no treadwear warranty.

  8. Jack pucks vs removing panels

    Thereā€™s no discount tires near me. I bought the pucks.

  9. Will I be the only Rivian in New England?

    My first inspection I didnā€™t have pucks and they lifted from the control arms anyway. Second inspection I couldnā€™t see what they did. Youā€™ll need to know where to find the odometer and they likely will not. Great to have another r1t in the area. Congrats!

  10. Tires rotation

    Tire rotation is mainly to prolong the tire life. The tire replacement is going to cost you ~$2k so the $50-100 for rotation is small if you get a longer tire life. I would get a tire gauge and measure all tires in the middle, inside and outside. If all measurements are even then maybe delay...

  11. How does Tesla adaptor work?

    I use the lectron 48A adapter for charging and it works great. Most of the Tesla destination chargers are free. Just plug in with the adapter and it will start in 10 seconds.

  12. Will R1T fit ski length 193cm (6' 4") without a ski rack?

    Itā€™s going to be close if it fits. It depends on the amount of rocker and tip/tail height. Manufactures are also not consistent on how they measure length. Thereā€™s a website that allows you to compare ski dimensions and profiles - soothski.com Use that tool to compare skis that fit to yours to...

  13. Did Rivian Give You a GOOD Value for Your Trade?

    Mine was fair. Within 5% of what the other carmax type places offered. But with the sales tax benefit in MA it was better to trade in. And it was super convenient since Rivian drove the truck to my house and drove away in the tradein. I bet I could have gotten more by doing a private party...

  14. Wait.. we really don't need the jack pucks?

    Take this for what itā€™s worthā€¦. I asked a Rivian mobile tech about jacking the car by the control arms and he cautioned not to do it. But no explanation was provided. Iā€™m not sure if thereā€™s a real concern there or not.

  15. Wait.. we really don't need the jack pucks?

    This isnā€™t quite true. If you are using the pucks, there is a small circle of plastic on the bottom that pops out w/o tools. The opening is the same size as the puck but smaller than the pad on a jack or lift. If you do not have a puck, you need to remove a larger panel that is attached by...

  16. Show off your dashcam memory card install

    Itā€™s not needed for sure. But itā€™s not a bad ideaā€¦ Storage is cheap. I could do a 256gb microSD plus reader for $50 or a 1TB SSD for $75. Rivian recommends a SSD (donā€™t say why) which will be larger capacity. You general donā€™t regret getting more storage than you need Maybe some feature comes...

  17. Show off your dashcam memory card install

    According to the manual it will delete the oldest continuous recording if the drive fills up.

  18. Show off your dashcam memory card install

    From the Rivian spotlight story, it will use the full space available: When you install a USB-C drive and turn Drive Cam on, the Gear Guard cameras can record and save video of entire trips (up to the maximum space available on your external drive).

  19. Wait.. we really don't need the jack pucks?

    You can remove the panels yourself and save the cost. But as everyone said you may eventually break them. Iā€™ve had a shop explicitly tell me that they would not remove it (for fear of breaking it) so plan on doing that yourself. I just got a set of pucks. Easy for the shop to use them. Rivian...

  20. Phone Key question for the dual Tesla + Rivian owners

    No issues with a Tesla and a Rivian on my iPhone.
