    85mph at SLO?

    Driving back from Central coast (California) to the SF Bay Area, we were on Hwy 101 at San Luis Obispo and was going at 70mph and stayed at the right lane because other cars are going faster than me (This will be another topic one day). Then I hit cruise control to stay at 70 but was surprised I...

    Do not queue yourself at South SF Service Center

    If your service area is in South San Francisco, the current wait to get appointments right now is weeks to a month or maybe more. So if you end up talking an appointment, save yourself by not scheduling a week before holidays or trips your planning to take your truck. My current work estimate...

    Outrageous Insurance Offer 36% mark up

    I understand insurance companies are raising their rates this year but raising my insurance to 36% is beyond me. it is to me a reflection of corporate greed. I always have continuous insurance. Had only one claim (2020 no-fault incident with no injuries) in the past 10 years. Currently for 3...

    Is this the future or will it remain a concept?

    Cool feature on the Hyundai Ionic(?) I saw on IG is a rear wheel steering which makes that Tank-turn really doable.

    Pardon my dust + Trip to super bloom

    We head out to Soda lake from Atascadero this week to see the wildflower super bloom. I planned on taking the 7 mile road on the way back so I would roughly cover around 130 miles round trip. Sorry Jeep, I donā€™t want to be behind your dust trail and since youā€™re going slower, I have to pass...

    Is EV-Lectron Legit or Shady?

    I needed an extension for my portable charger so I donā€™t have to park inside the garage while the garage door is halfway open since my truck doesnā€™t fit inside. With the extension, I can just park outside and leave a little gap for the cable to pass through. Found a Lectron brand 40ft extension...

    Who wants a Rivian diecast or model R1T/R1S toy truck, or RC?

    I've been writing to a few manufacturers/companies if they are willing to make model trucks or diecast toys for our R1T's and I think it would be best if there is a huge number to reference for the demand. So, who wants one? I would love to have an RC R1T but a 1:32 diecast would be sufficient...

    How accurate is app's Find My Vehicle feature?

    I was wondering how accurate the location of the appā€™s Find my vehicle feature. Is it 5 meters? 50 ft? Iā€™ve noticed that if it is damn accurate, it seems that my vehicle which is at the service center for almost a week now hasnā€™t moved at the parking lot where I drop it off. And if thatā€™s the...

    Will always searching 275/55R21 tires trigger demand?

    Just wondering, if everyone keeps searching for 275/55R21 tires online, will it trigger/alert manufactures that there is a demand? I know that there is no other option than the stock Pirelliā€™s and so if everyone keep searching online everyday, does it make any difference? Or do you have to...

    Gearguard not working or less sensitive?

    Since the last update, I havenā€™t got any notifications from Gearguard. I parked at the mall, Trader Joeā€™s or REI parking lots and havenā€™t pick up anything. I have it on while off at home as it has always been and I usually get a lot of videos before but nothing lately. Has anyone noticed that or...

    Inyokern to Death Valley and back to Bay Area in my R1T

    Not so long ago we came back from a road trip to Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes at Death Valley National Park. Spent one day at Paso Robles then 2 nights at Inyokern. Why Inyokern? Itā€™s because of the RAN. The Mesquite flat sand dunes is 109 miles away so I charged up to 98% (315 miles) to give...

    Lost camera functionality and solution: infotainment reboot (soft reboot)

    This morning as I try to leave home, I noticed I lost my camera functions. When you go on reverse, you normally see your backup camera but my screen was just blank/black. I put it to park, check my cameras and nothing is working. Not sure if this is related to the last update but have an idea...

    Took my R1T w/ 21’s to Bishop and Crowley Lake - Experience, Photos & Videos

    Took my R1T with 21ā€ road tires to Bishop after a week of ownership. Also went off-road to Crowley Lake which I think is ideal for those who have no off-roading experience like myself. There are just 2 sections where you need a 4x4 and a high clearance vehicle and I was just delighted how the...
