    Can we fix this with PDR, or is it worse than that?

    Tucson, Mount Lemmon: Witnesses reported he was driving like an asshole and blew through a guard rail at high speed.

    CarPlay/Android Auto unit and phone charger installed with solid 3D printed mounts

    We all know why we need CarPlay, that's been hashed out repeatedly. I got this unit a few months ago and ran it with the included suction cup mount to make sure it would be useful and that I liked the utility. It was great, but the mount sucked. I then went without CP for a month, to be sure...

    Rivian brand EVSE not compatible with Rivan (error message)

    Um, what? This has happened three times now, and I'm on my second wall mount EVSE. This is the new generation model. Just glad it's never happened when I *needed* charging for major driving the next day. Since the Rivian is missing a feature we had on the Tesla; if you park at home and it's...

    Ten years ago, if anyone had told me that I’d own a pickup that could smoke any motorcycle off the line...

    ...I would have told them to find a different crack dealer. At the previous light, I had done a half-throttle take-off and the guy on the sportbike had given a thumbs up. He didn't realize it was only half throttle. Good time, and this is how fun should be had, not the assholes who give me...

    Arizona Sold: 20" Scorpion A/T tire brand new

    Got this with a new, unused spare wheel but I'm running a different tire on the truck. Never been rolled. Date code 2622. They seem to be $462 everywhere, how about $300? I'm in NW Phoenix, and can get the tire to zip code 91745 in early September for someone out there. Otherwise can...

    Made a four-tire air-down/air-up kit for the Rivian

    This isn't Rivian specific of course, I've made these for my Jeeps before. It lets you inflate all four tires after off-roading, and make them all equal pressure, while you sit in the air conditioned cabin and watch YouTube or something. I am in AZ and it's just no fun to babysit tires when...

    The "courtesy inspection" on the invoice could be total fiction

    Looking through past service for another reason, I discovered a mobile visit listed a courtesy inspection as a completed item. It included torquing lug nuts, tire pressure check, and other typical items. Not a single one of those things was done. I stood there with the tech the entire time...

    Airbags and light passengers

    Before I file an NHTSA complaint, I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced airbags turning off for passengers in the 100-110 pound range. My wife is 106-108 and the airbag often turns off. The SC checked this and said it was normal. No other car we've been in has done this, ever. NHTSA...

    Why is the Rivian planner preferring Tesla SC over RAN chargers?

    Going from Phoenix to Vegas, it tells me to charge at the SC in Kingman. There's a RAN there too. WTF??

    Apple Watch As A Key works great on Gen 1 with WAAK app

    I've edited this to reflect a few things learned later in the thread. Same concepts with more details. It's beta, works perfectly for me. I used it yesterday when I let my phone battery die. Great backup. If you can't get it to let you drive, or to do passive lock/unlock, then reboot the...

    GOAT Fab rock rails installed

    These look great, and are super solid. Installation was not a big deal, with the most annoying part being the mods to the plastic panels to fit around them. And one of the panel bolts was made of garbage Chinesium so the head snapped off. Not sure what my solution will be here. These are a...

    Question for anyone with the Proclip center dash mount

    It's really not "center" in their photos. My question is whether it could be clipped into the actual center, over the screen, instead of the angled part of the dash.

    How long did it take you to remember that you have the gear tunnel as an option?

    For both storage, and as a step into the bed. I find myself thinking that I need to stow something, but the bed wouldn't be clean enough, and the back seat is full. What to do? Today I needed to reach the front of the bed. The truck was in the sun. I'm reaching over the sides and...

    Rivian service wanted $200 for about 13 seconds of work

    I had my truck in for a few warranty items, one of which was to replace the bed cover. This of course requires removing the bed. I had installed cargo rails using the existing factory bolt holes. Meaning that when you remove the bolts to remove the bed, the rails fall off. I guess it would...

    Service solved my noisy/rattly AC compressor issue

    This is a common complaint that is often brushed off with, "this is normal." However in my case it was so rattly that it would set off the alarm if left running with the vehicle locked, in high heat. The SC said they found that the refrigerant was low, and evacuated/recharged it. Problem...

    Sources for 12v constant power in the cabin?

    I don't have my truck now, it's in for service, and trying to plan out a purchase/installation. I want to put a small fridge in the vehicle to run most of the time. The 12v under the dash turns off when you lock the truck. Does anyone know if the wireless phone pads turn off or stay on? I...

    Business idea: Sonic drive-ins should have some mid-speed chargers

    Think about it, you pull in anyway, put a 150k charger in front of the space. Handle your bathroom needs, come back for some food, hang out for a bit, done! Seems like they could even charge premium electric price. And I basically never eat junk food, nor meat, but would make exceptions.
