I recall this being somewhat pervasive with early Gen1 builds (I never had the issue on my G1), but today I got the escalating warnings of first "motor fault, performance limited" then shortly thereafter "pull over immediately" (I can't recall the exact language). Hard reset did the trick, at...

Gen2 dual made an enormous, quantifiable difference over my Gen1. On my G1 would consistently see around 340-350miles of range in conserve, with all-purpose tires (Michelins or the stock 21s), on the highway keeping the speeds low. That's about 2.7. So it's a meaningful upgrade...

Not anywhere near as bad as the Pirellis, FWIW. I find the KO series to be pretty great on highway considering how capable they are. Of course, I also have the 22s that I'll switch back to when I want more quiet and less electron use.

Figured someone would want pics of the KO3s that just got mounted, because Chonky. Stock size, no rubbing in low (as expected). Efficiency will be terrible, also as expected. I'm guessing 2.4 vs. the 3 I get today on the stock Pirelli 22's. FYI - these TPMS fit just fine and sync'd within a...

It was them who told me they would not supply, and need to supply my own. FYI rolled the dice, got some from Amazon, reviewed by some Rivian folks as functional. KO3s go on tomorrow.

Managed to get myself into a small and stupid situation this week. Need to accelerate receipt of TMPS, aftermarket is fine. Would normally go with one of the site sponsors but I am (again, stupidly) out of time. Recommendations on Amazon-sourced options for the R1?

The R2 will be perfectly fine for trails rated 3-4 by OnX. That said, I would very much recommend getting sliders and underbody protection, because the cost to repair a Rivian vs. a Wrangler is orders of magnitude. I'm picking up another Jeep (my 4th) in a few weeks as the off-road toy...

Those are great!

$5k is a very small spread between variants - expect that to double, at least, in the next year.

Depends on what you've experienced to date. Dampers, jounce lines, various wiggly/rattley bits, 12V ... the list could be long, but if you're not experiencing any issues, then you should be good.

LOL @ "call Chavez" Also, this is amazing. As a dual-language household, this will be quite welcome.

Aha, thanks. That is at least a workaround for now until they separate the two.

Title. Anyone discover a method to reduce the volume of the chime?

Life is short. Drive the p*ss out of it and enjoy. Eat the overage. Or just share with your wife. Why does this need to be binary?

They are wonky and often temperamental. I actually had them serviced/replaced in my Gen1 as the driver side stopped responding completely. In my G2 they're weird but not to a point of uselessness.
