    Callum Skye, R3 Competitor?

    I realize that this vehicle isnā€™t even a living concept yet, and renderings always look better than reality. But itā€™s fun to dream about driving cars like this someday. Kinda like how we dreamed of owning 800hp quad motor luxury EV trucks not long ago. Iā€™d love to see Rivian build something...

    Potential SC in Hayward, CA scrapped?

    https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/rivian-unloading-bay-area-real-estate-18142498.php According to this article, Rivian is bailing out of a lease for two large industrial buildings in Hayward, CA. This is disappointing news for those of us hoping that there was going to be a new service center...

    R1T returns to the sand dunes at Pismo Beach

    Following up from the disappointment of my first attempt to enjoy the Rivian on the sand dunes at Pismo Beach, because it was closed, I went back this week and got to explore & enjoy the Rivianā€™s capability. In the process I learned a few things. Tire Pressure: I aired my (BFG KO2) tires down...

    Munro comparison: Rivian seats vs Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Tesla

    It seems like every time they criticize Rivian, itā€™s for spending too much money and over-building everything with too much quality. I canā€™t recall them ever saying Rivian built something poorly.

    Pismo Beach PSA - CALL BEFORE GOING

    Donā€™t make my mistake and go to Pismo Beach without first checking to see if the off road vehicle area is open. I didnā€™t anticipate any problems because it hadnā€™t rained for several days. But because of the heavy runoff, the river crossing the beach was not passable, so the OHV park was closed...

    Underbody jacking panels, leave them off?

    I recently installed new wheels & tires. Because I donā€™t have a spare and my EV Sportline kit hasnā€™t arrived yet, I followed the instructions in the manual (starting on P. 216) for lifting the truck with a non-Rivian jack, which says to remove the underbody panels to expose the frame rails...

    BFG 285/60/20 tires with 20" aftermarket wheels installed (+ blacked out badges & light bars tint)

    My truck came with 22ā€™s, and I wanted another set of wheels/tires that would work in snow and off road. I chose these 20ā€ wheels because of their +25mm offset, decent looks and attractive price. I wanted the biggest, widest tires that would not rub too much. I almost got 295/60/20ā€™s because...

    My cobbled together budget spare

    I wanted a cheap spare wheel/tire/jack setup, and I donā€™t require perfection because it will be used or seen rarely if ever. So I bought a used Ram 1500 wheel on eBay for $150 (total including shipping). Others have found these cheaper. The wheel had some scratches, which I sanded out & then...

    PSA - Don’t destroy / curb a wheel like I did (tips to avoid)

    After driving my R1T for a month and 1,600 miles, Iā€™m still having trouble scraping curbs while parking, which Iā€™ve never had driving other cars over the past 40 years. Last night it happened for the third time, this time causing major damage to my (22ā€) right front wheel. The damage occurred...

    RIVN stock down 17% this week. Why?

    As of this writing RIVN is down 6.5% today, to cap off a terrible week where itā€™s lost 17% of its value, with another hour to go. NASDAQ is down about 4% this week, and Tesla, with all of its drama, is down about 10% this week. Thereā€™s been no big news about Rivian this week that Iā€™m aware of...

    SF Bay Area PPF Installer Recommendations?

    Iā€™m seriously considering doing the full stealth PPF wrap when my truck arrives. Iā€™m curious if anyone has used & recommends any shops in the East San Francisco Bay Area. Iā€™m in Walnut Creek and Iā€™m sure thereā€™s several shops in Concord doing this work. It would be even better if someone has...

    Foxconn EV Pickup Revealed

    Not likely to compete directly with the R1T, but interesting nonetheless. It looks smaller than the R1T, perhaps Ford Maverick sized. If done right, they could sell a lot of these. IMO small EV pickups will be a huge market in the future...
