My guess on the Quad - yes, it's going to be the 0-60 and Pikes Peak halo car, and I guess a lot of shoppers will buy it for that. But I think that in Rivian's mind, the offroad performance might be what is driving them to produce it. The Gen1 quad had that natural "one motor per wheel" to...

If it's semi-permanent, just find a way to remove the trim for the roof spoiler/vector and tap into what has to be constant 12v power there for the existing lights and camera. You could string a wire from the cigarette port in the gear tunnel, or anywhere else, but again if it's semi-permanent...

Yes. With last quarter’s incentive, you didn’t fill out any paperwork to get it. Just confirm with your delivery specialist that it is applied, they will confirm you meet the requirements (like having a trade in appraisal submitted) and the incentive will show up in the final purchase agreement.

That rear bed cam must be 12v. So at least you know there is a tappable power source up there where you need it. The 3rd brake light is going to be a 12v part too, so your power options in the location are ample. With that said, don't you also have to snake the data lines into the cab to plug...

Just my $0.02, this is something that can be a win-win. Car makers that like pull-in can put it on the passenger front. Makers who like back-in can put it on the driver back. Both work fine for every charging station. And eventually most V3+ SCs will move to longer cables and it won't be an...

By all accounts this sounds like a great incentive. It's double Nov/Dec's $3k all-electric incentive, and more than makes up for the $250 deduction in the referral credit.

I get it. Being able to consolidate all charging to Tesla is a great simplifying principle, especially for households that already have Teslas. Those who go to CCS fast chargers will point out the lack of flexibility and choice, but driving our Teslas, we've never felt the need to hit either a...

Fair point. I'm not sure what the numbers are, but a truck should definitely cater to its own audience. I recall seeing claims ranging from 75-95% for truck owners who never tow with their vehicles. It suggested to me that even most R1T or Scout buyers would probably do fine with the ~200kwh...

Yeah, I think towing is one of those "way outside of the curve" situations where you probably can't have enough battery, perfect for a solution like a gas range extender. For nearly everything else, I think ~200kwh is where range anxiety just goes away. You can one-shot nearly anything...

Oh jinx!

Oof. Didn't someone who took their T through the Rubicon show that is where the frame folks on high stress?

Wow, that's amazing. $5k is actually surprisingly well-priced for a factory paint finish, considering Rivian charges $2500 for one of ~10 colors, and a full-cover vinyl or ppf wrap is $5-10k.

Welcome! What Tesla are you coming from? The regen in the Rivan is definitely stronger, but one of our Teslas is pre-Raven and it doesn't come to a stop on its own, the other one more current and you can one-foot it. I really like having the FM radio too, so much better than dealing with...

Yeah, I was looking into those. The part that contacts the car, the saddle--is it big enough to securely place a jack puck, or do you lift it from the control arm as well?

Yep, I've seen this, reported it here and to Rivian, and my vehicle is currently in service for it (among other things). Other associated issues: 1. Once a keycard is deactivated, it cannot be reactivated without remote assistance from Rivian. 2. Keys that are re-assigned are supposed to...

I'm looking to do tire changes and running board install at home, so I'd like to be able to jack up one whole side of the truck safely. Once you have the Rivian jacked up using pucks, how are folks using jack stands to keep the entire side elevated/stable? Most jack stands have "curved"...

First, glad you're OK! Second, really sorry to hear about the ordeal. It looks like the truck did its job and really stood up to the collision well. If you are able to keep it, do you still get a payout? I thought insurance pays you for the replacement or current value (depending on your...

They should clean the camera they're using. Some shots have a bit of a distracting smudge obscuring the speedometer.

In the fog/snow it'd be like a unicorn horn.

No, casting pulls data from the car's own data plan, hence Connect+. The phone just tells the infotainment screen where on the internet to go to fetch the data, and handles jog controls like pause/rewind.
