  1. VION Giveaway: Win R1S/R1T Roof Sunshades + Gray Option Available Now!

    I received mine as well. There are many descriptions on changing the filter but it's so simple on the Rivian compared at least to most Teslas and other cars I'll describe it. Simple pull up the cowl cover; no tools needed. Slide off the plenum. Notice I'm another victim of Rivian's poor...
  2. Half-Shaft issue thread

    I don't think they are going to switch away from trakmotive shafts. They are probably the only company that makes something that would fit. I think they could go to a better design with a larger spindle nut and rivian could revise their hub/upright with stronger material that doesn't deform.
  3. Half-Shaft issue thread

    Low ride height is least stressful. Launches are hard on them particularly if the steering isn't straight when you do it. The splines get a little knurled allowing movement which causes the back of the CV to squeak or tock against the hub. A complete failure is unlikely unless you are abusing...
  4. R1S 22" Tire Replacement Time - Decision Paralysis - Advice/Experience

    I also went with those and couldn't be happier. They absorb bumps, are quiet and I haven't really seen an efficiency hit. The PZ Sport corners better than an AT but they seem fine even on mountain roads. 2679lb tire rating =10700 lb Vehicle weighs 7000 lb cargo 1641 lb So plenty of margin for...
  5. Rivian Assistant Makes Siri Look Overqualified

    I was in the mountains over the weekend where there's intermittent cell and it died completely. Activate and it listens for two seconds and turns off. No local commands work as it doesn't listen at all. Got back into cell service in greater LA but it was still dead. Maps and all other data...
  6. Ferrari Luce?????

    For crazy EV money this would be my choice:
  7. [Engadget Report] - EX60 first drive: An ultra-smooth SUV for around $60k

    900v architecture is about the only thing I see compelling
  8. BYD Leopard 8

    Since the other three wheels articulate as well, they apparently can. I can't count the number of times I've been 4wheeling off road and lifted a wheel.
  9. 12 volt system in R2 has reduced cycling and longer life, per Wassym

    Finally they admit that it's a big problem for the R1!
  10. Excessive battery drain during transit

    Something was left open or on or something like the seatbelt plugged in or who knows but losing 65% in five days, I would check how many miles were driven.
  11. Rivian Assistant Makes Siri Look Overqualified

    On an android phone you have to agree to a pop up (toast) on your phone. Miss that and it won't work.
  12. R2 Heat Pump? Coming? Standard? Option?

    As an aside, I've noticed quite a jump in efficiency if I turn off the heat/AC. All of a sudden I basically get EPA. Surprising that it uses enough power to be so noticeable. Then I get hot and turn the AC back on lol.
  13. R2 Jack Point Design - Potential Issues / Challenges

    Exactly what I was thinking... Though a regular flat pad floor jack works fine in that spot on BMWs too.
  14. Towing + Efficiency: Please post your experience!

    Afraid I'm going to blow the curve a bit.
  15. Why stock getting hammered last few days?

    The whole market took profit
  16. R2 demo drives just around the corner.

    Starting June 1 in Pasadena, CA. There's already an employee one driving around town. They will only have one test drive one by appointment.
  17. Gen 1 vs Gen 2 Observations

    The 22s are very hard and have little tread to begin with. The car is completely different on ATs where ride is concerned.
