    Leases got worse today!!

    I got mine back in August. Crazy good deal when combined with F&F, plus the EV credit, plus the great lease rates. Literally put $0 down (wellā€¦the deposit counts I guess, which was $500?), and it was less than my A5 Sportback (which was also a great deal since my buddy works for Audi). Just over...

    Radar Detector hard wire, who has done it?

    Fixed it. I thought Iā€™d done it a while ago, but probably never hit ā€œsaveā€ā€¦

    Radar Detector hard wire, who has done it?

    lolā€¦ some great lines in that movie: ā€œDo the letters ā€™F-Oā€™ mean anything to you?ā€ ā€œThere ainā€™t no way, no way, that you come from my loins! Soon as I get home, Iā€™m gonna punch your mamma in the mouthā€

    Radar Detector hard wire, who has done it?

    Funny. I saw this thread in the ā€œLatest Postsā€ and my first thought was ā€œpeople still use radar detectors?ā€. I meanā€¦with most highways having speed limits of 70 (or 80 if in the southwestā€¦), Iā€™m wondering how fast you drive that you actually need one? Especially in a vehicle that weighs over...

    Connect + subscriber. Mine just popped up. Will install when Iā€™m home later tonight.

    Am I the only Connect+ subscriber who didn't get the update?

    Ironically, that is one of the first features I disable in any vehicle I drive (if it has it).

    New CAO (Chief Accounting Officer) Hired by Rivian

    Yeah, I saw in the section I quoted. Butā€¦thatā€™s like Monopoly money. Who knows how much it will be worth when the restrictions come off. Could be $2mil, could be $15mil. Personally Iā€™m hoping for the latter as that will mean my investment is worth more as well :)

    How may days has your R1T or R1S been away?

    My 2024 was at the SC for 6 days getting the PTC installed. There were a few other minor issues that were taken care of while there, but so far, thatā€™s it.

    North Carolina SOLD- OEM Silver Rivian Cross Bars

    I will be down there in 2 weeks helping my daughter move into her house. If theyā€™re still available when Iā€™m down there, Iā€™ll take ā€˜em (they bought on the south-east side of Lake Norman). They live in the University City area right now, so Iā€™ll be traveling back & forth I-85/I-485/I-77.

    Armrest and Steering Wheel Wear. Already? Really?

    Soā€¦OP has a total of 2 posts here, both thread starters complaining about something, and in both cases, did not engage in the conversation after the initial post. Not saying there canā€™t be an issue, but Iā€™m always weary of people who do this within forums. Whatā€™s the purpose of starting a...

    Senate Republicans Propose $1000 Tax on Electric Vehicles to Fund Road Repair

    I always get a kick out of posts like this. The irony is hilarious. You do realize, donā€™t you, that the medium you are using to post your views on government was born out of the so-called ā€œwasteful spendingā€ you so vehemently oppose?

    Seat Comfort (or lack thereof)

    Yeah, I'm 5' 9", 190lbs, and I have not problems w/ these seats. I've taken it on 2 decently long trips (~ 400 miles), and haven't had any issues. By contrast, my old Audi A5 (and my wife's A5 Cab) are terrible. I can't go more than an hour without having to get out & stretch. My back...

    Cdn coming into US - any issues with EV haters at chargers etc thus far?

    We have lake property in South Carolina. I drove my R1T down there a few months back to check on my boat, and stopped into the boat dealership to chat w/ the service team. It's a small town just west of Clemson. I parked between an F-250 an a Ram, both w/ huge tires & lift kits. Honestly, I was...

    California Dune Color - real life photos (R1S & R1T)

    Maybe itā€™s just me, but I donā€™t like those rims. They remind me of the flimsy rims a donut is on. Or back in the 70s, when someone lost a hubcap.
