Was on a shakedown with a tech today after he performed some minor stuff on my truck (wind noise fixes), and during the drive, got a pretty horrible sound that he felt on the left dead-pedal (he was driving) when under regen deceleration into a right turn. I've heard this before, but it...

I had been waiting for specific conditions to run a test on the new tires. Michelin LTX M/S2, 275/60/20. About 1500 miles on them now. Specifically looking for a low wind / low traffic daytime run - this is nontrivial in the Bay Area. Conditions: about perfect for December. 60 degrees, sunny...

That's such a bizarre subject line to read. Anyway - anyone else hearing their lock chirp happen twice, specifically when locking from the drop-down widget on iPhone? Pull down, select lock, see lights on door handles turn on, then off, then on, then close and chirp. Then chirp again. This...

https://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/auto/tires/trail-terrain-t-a?tyreSize=20# Looks like the 116XL is new, and while it's not showing up in my area, must be s00n. Interesting option for those looking for a less aggressive AT that's pretty good in snow.

Some info for those on the fence about going to all-seasons ... I want to preface this by saying it's very much too early to draw long-term conclusions, but as expected, the Michelins are providing considerably better efficiency than the AT OE tires. This is not a surprise at all. What -is-...

I've got 3 takeoff Pirelli AT 275/65/20 takeoffs (the 4th had an unrepairable hole). Great for spares Tires were in good shape while on the truck as of this morning. One has a professional repaired patch. Tire 1: vulcanized patch, 8.5/32 tread Tire 2: 7.5/32 Tire 3: 7.5/32 Tires 2&3 were...

Looking for a set of 22" takeoffs with good remaining tread and TPMS still in them. Keeping my 20s for off-road use, and want a set of street tires for the vast majority of driving we do. My wife prefers the brights, I prefer the darks, so either works out and I'll deal with the marital...

Just FYI - if you enable any of the Halloween modes, which are fun and I encourage you to do so, the truck stays on. Not just for exterior lighting/etc - also runs climate and, presumably, other functions. I only know this because my truck was toasty warm inside when I set off after 3 hours of...

Doing the annual audit of insurance and shopping around, and Geico came through with a quote that was half of Nationwide. So naturally, I added the Rivian to the account (it already has the other cars on it), and went to cancel Nationwide. This is when the rage set in. You cannot do it...

This morning, I saw 6 on the 8 mile round-trip to drop my kid off at school. 3 were in the school drop-off (inc. mine) at the same time. Yesterday, I was at a stoplight and saw two green R1S at a stoplight next to each other. And the funny (to me) thing is: whenever we see one, someone -...

Had an opportunity to bail out for a quick weekend very mild semi-overlanding trip up in Hope Valley with a friend in his stock (except with KO2s - this matters later) 4Runner Off-Road. First off, it's worth mentioning for the millionth time that opening up the Supercharger network is...

Watched Furiosa this weekend, and despite it robbing me of any ability to sleep that night, it did inspire me to wash my truck. Meguiar's Gold Class shampoo, Klasse all-in-one polish, Klasse sealant glaze, and Car Guys hybrid wax. Not a permanent solution, but should get me 2 weeks at a time...

(Note: I’m not such an audio nerd as to do proper sampling and frequency analysis, nor do I have the vocabulary to explain how things sound in a way as elegant as the WhatHiFi peeps can do. Also, there are others on this forum with WAY more technical music knowledge than me) FYI - late ‘22...

I did, and failed to take a picture (sorry!) - I have a pathological hatred of ad popups so I instinctively closed it. Free 90-day trial. I do not yet have the new SW and hence do not yet have Connect+.

Used twice - once as a test, another just for grins at Cisco Grove station on I-80. Perfect condition, includes case and instructions. For Rivians attaching to Tesla Supercharger stations. Plug and charge. Located in SF Bay Area. Prefer local pickup.

… and it’s p******g me off, because I want to switch out. They’re not excessively loud, and I’m seeing 2.2 mi/kWh over their life so far. (Note: installed used, had 11/32 upon install, 11k miles ago) I drive like a relatively normal person, though I do (very often) launch with enthusiasm...

I’ve been noticing an increase in frequency of the truck resetting itself. This is noticeable when the efficiency meter (15-min) resets, and the center screen reloads apps as you enter them - including, annoyingly, re-importing all contacts from the phone. It happened twice today. Anyone...

I put a couple of good sized nuggs around the bed and tailgate, and expect to commit equally horrific crimes this summer, but then I’d like to make it look new and purty again. Any recommendations for relatively inexpensive paintless dent repair in the SF Bay area?

Fellow Geniuses - what is the expected behavior of the air compressor? I’m 18 months into ownership, use the compressor infrequently. However, every time I’ve tried, I get the same behavior: 1) Set compressor to desired PSI 2) Press start 3) Panic and disconnect because it’s clear we’ve blown...

*at least partially. Thankfully, it didn’t melt the connector to the truck - this was not catastrophic, but unacceptable nonetheless. Today, we were heading back to the bay area from Long Beach, taking the semi-leisurely route up 101. Stopped off in Santa Barbara to get coffee and add a few...
