  1. Major Safety Concern: Brand-New 2025 Rivian R1S Died in Traffic—No Hazards or Movement

    Tesla charger sabotage. The wrath of Elon! Just kidding. Sorry this happened. The cause will be interesting once Rivian can investigate.
  2. Tesla Model Y Refresh Spotted

    Yes, R2 will be the non-jelly bean alternative. Better product, better management. Drive well.
  3. Vampire Drain-I never thought I would be jealous of a KIA

    There will always be some vampire drain. KIA/Hyundai do offer quite good EVs - not premium products, of course - but they offer solid EV performance at a price more folks can afford. Plus, the companies are aggressively marketing their EVs with reasonable sales incentives. They don't have their...
  4. Gen2 Max vs Large Battery - Prior Logic still Hold?

    If just driving 100 miles or less each day and you can charge at home each night off peak then even the standard battery may be just fine. Even on an occasional road trip, at 60 mph you'd need to charge every 3.5 to 4 hours which is perfect fro driver fatigue breaks. The Max pack is $14000 more...
  5. Looking to trade Model Y LR for R1S

    Replace the Y with gen 2 R1S. Vastly superior premium interior and more room due in part to classic SUV design, no jelly bean. Just do it. Drive well.
  6. Does Rivian have what it takes to survive?

    Yes, you are wrong. Many including myself have had an excellent buying experience. They made of goof on my delivery, contacted me proactively and paid for a 60 mile Lyft for me to pick up the vehicle that was shipped to the wrong Service Center. If the buying experience were terrible for most...
  7. Help a prospective buyer pull the trigger (or not)

    You are waaay overthinking your next vehicle purchase. My R1T Tri is by far the best premium vehicle I have ever owned. The Iconic 5 is a good value choice. I can easily recommend the R1T Tri for anyone looking for a premium multifunctional EV. Drive well.
  8. Out of Spec Review of Pebble from CES

    I don't have the time to watch another verbose, bloviating Out of Spec video. 80 minutes of self important pontification? I'd much rather enjoy an hour and a half drive in my Rivian, perhaps visit the new Joshua Tree Outpost. Drive well.
  9. Rivian stuck in conserve mode

    Work with Rivian support. A SC appointment may not be necessary. But if it is, you just gotta do it. Conserve mode in Duals is supposed to be automatic and not user selectable. Drive well.
  10. Lease Decoder Tool - just FYI

    Vehicle leases (rentals) are very misleading so any tool will help. It should include average extra cost of carrying maximum liability insurance as well, which is required when renting, I mean leasing. Thanks for working on such a tool. Drive well.
  11. R1T a little louder in the winter...

    If second gen the heat pump is loud (in my view) and would run more often and longer in cold winter weather.
  12. Any issues with putting an RTT over the cab of an R1T?

    Defeats the purpose of R1T glass roof, at least 10% loss of range, parking structure and fast food drive through clearances, greater fall distance with increased risk of spinal cord and head injuries, snagging on tree branches. I still enjoy old fashioned sleeping on the earth's surface. Drive well.
  13. Costco Vs. America's Tire for new tires?

    Lordy, just buying tires shouldn't require that same fact finding as abdominal surgery. Just use the shops recommended by Rivian and avoid manufactured anxiety. Drive well.
  14. RIVIAN saves JEEP in over his head (literally)

    Good job. Kindness is always a virtue. Drive well.
  15. My Rivian saved mine and my kids lives

    Wonderful news. Rivian undersells its safety ratings. Safety does sell. Drive well when the replacement Rivian arrives.
  16. Gear Shop Inventory

    Not normal. Holiday shopping probably exhausted some items. Drive well.
  17. Rivian Ordering Hasn't Improved Since March 2019

    My ordering process with Rivian went very well. A Rivian rep even called or emailed me 4 times during the process to confirm all was well, or to address an issue they discovered. The Count might be down a pint. The Quad will be high profit, so Rivian will likely not drop it. It's only a few days...
  18. Tire wear with suspension in LOW

    I use Conserve at steady 60 mph highway speed with no noticeable unusual tire wear. I suppose having suspension low and driving on curvy roads regularly with a lead foot might cause tire edge wear beyond normal expectations. Of course, regular rotations and proper tire pressure always help for...
