  1. The Rivian I Want: A No-Nonsense, Modular, Adventure-Ready EV Truck

    The Rivian You Got: a lot of nonsense. Not modular. Pretty darn adventure ready though. What I would add to your list: * keys that work * a power button so you can turn the vehicle on or off * vampire drain of fewer than multiple kWh per day * repairable with manual published. for example, it...
  2. Range to zero

    If you drive slower than 60mph you can extend the range a lot. Not my first choice but if you are down to the wire...
  3. Full Size Spare Tire....am I missing something?

    I am confused. Is this right? You bought a spare 20". You got a wheel and tire, but nothing else. You are wondering if you were supposed to get a jack and other stuff with it.
  4. Post some of your road cam footages

    Last summer, posted this elsewhere.
  5. Looking to trade Model Y LR for R1S

    No, you can't have my R1S even for 3 model y's. Was that the question? Regarding range: Gen 1 R1S on 20" AT tires. I expect at least the rated range (270 miles) at 75mph or so. I'm at altitude which helps range a little. Other tires will be much more efficient. At 60mph I would expect over 300...
  6. Pirelli 21’s in Snow Mode

    I would just encourage everyone to watch this video and read the rest of the thread if you have time. It's not that steep and a number of similar stories. Note the front tires roll and rear tires slide, only the rear have a parking brake as mentioned above. I'm a big fan of snow tires, but...
  7. 20" Inch What are your top 3 priorities for replacement tires?

    Offroad performance (could break down into many subcategories) Onroad performance, handling, etc Noise Wet grip Snow and cold weather performance
  8. Official: Scout EV SUV & Pickup debut w/ Gas Range Extender, 4x4, BOF, Lockers, Sway Bar Disconnect -- All Specs, Wallpapers, Videos

    Is there no frunk at all? I'd much rather have a frunk than EREV. No gear tunnel either.
  9. Did Rivian Drop Tri Motor Range?

    Yep, the EPA tests are notoriously based on much lower speeds than a normal highway which is what I meant. https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/fe_test_schedules.shtml
  10. Did Rivian Drop Tri Motor Range?

    The estimates are based around low speed driving. I'm sure any Rivian can hit its advertised range at 40-50mph. But they aren't highway figures. I am sure the Tri Max has better range than the quad. Lower numbers could be explained by colder weather or just Rivian changing the formula for the...
  11. cold weather driving range

    Was there an elevation difference? How fast were you driving?
  12. R1S Frunk: Costco snow shovel fits

    I often wish the R1S had a gear tunnel, but most of all in winter.
  13. Ideal Gen1 Preowned

    I would say that the individual vehicle's history is more important than its build date. Is it a borderline lemon that was in and out of the service center every couple months, or has it made it 10k-20k miles with no mechanical issues? If so, it's a winner. I feel real lucky with our April-ish...
  14. Ideal Gen1 Preowned

    Another potential problem with the earliest builds was the double 12V batteries, which changed to a single 12V battery plus a capacitor sometime in early 2023.
  15. Rivian reputation, what do non-Rivian drivers think about Rivians?

    I mean, yeah, the perception is that you're the kind of person who spends $100k on a vehicle (or at least $75k). For lots of folks that alone gives an impression of you as rich and dumb. I think my friends might think that about me now. I agree with them, but I love my Rivian.
  16. MKBHD - Social Media Star Sells His Tesla Cybertruck Because He "Liked the Rivian Better"

    Not much. Moving some electrons around is not a big energy cost compared to propelling a 7000lb vehicle. Less than 1%. I think that on the highway, the efficiency improvement of Gen 2 is pretty small. For a real increase in highway range, the huge battery pack would be necessary. Or driving slower.
  17. Any one regretted the R1S based on size?

    I find the R1S is almost too large to make parking in the city reasonable, but it's not too large. Some spots are tighter than others but it usually can turn and fit ok. Not always fun. But here in the US it's never the biggest car in the lot either (by a long shot usually). The birds eye camera...
  18. R2 walkthrough review by Doug DeMuro

    This isn't really accurate, it was more a continuous series of changes made over time. Two 12V batteries to one plus capacitor, subframe change, elimination of frunk 12V port, dual horns to one horn, magnetic frunk attachment to plastic clips, elimination of driver 12V port, placement of horn...
