Wonder if this happens specifically when there is a hanging water droplet on the rear camera. Maybe turn on the rear camera and see when the truck ghost image appears!
I'd be less worried about the miniscule extra tire wear, and more concerned with the hit in ride quality you get while in low. If you're driving around in low and that doesn't bother you, then just send it.
Agree with above on charging at home. 110V will make you hate the car and it's a non starter for ownership with your predicted miles. Get the 14-50 outlet installed at a minimum.
Street tires are what you want if you're not off roading which it doesn't sound like you are. They are quieter and...
I don't know the boundary waters well, but I always suggest visiting the UP. Copper Harbor area is really cool. You can camp at High Rock. Some of the coolest and most remote camping I've done was right there, outside of Colorado at least. The R1 should have no trouble making it down that trail.
Stories like these really make it a head scratcher why they didn't put a capacitive touch sensor on the handle so it would immediately wake up the truck when you touch it and unlock, and would remove the need for the settings and adjustments people have to do when it's parked at home.
This doesn't sound like something that could have been caught in a predelivery inspection. It probably worked just fine. It sucks, but it happens. At least OP kept it together and Rivian did their best to make it right. Yes it's a loss for the company, but based on my experience at other EV...
When I say pre-load I mean you're already at, let's say 10-20% throttle and gently accelerating or holding speed before you go WOT. So your foot has dipped into the pedal a little bit already.
It seems if you go from 0-100% throttle, there's more of a delayed response. Whether that's to...
I've done a lot of R1S tri motor launches mostly cause I'm a lucky guy.
For the strongest "hit" off the line you'll need to be in sport mode, launch control, lowest height, stability off, rear motor temps under 165 degrees (about)
Motor temps and suspension height feel like the biggest factors...
Everyone's arguing about this or that, auto steering this, driverless that, and all I can think about is how much I wish for regular dumb cruise control being an option in the setting somewhere.
I understand that since everyone is doing it, Rivian has to do it. But I think I'm one of the few...
Love the Savagegeese. I was expecting worse, but their points are fair.
The electronic charge port, handles (and now on Gen2, e-latch), center arm rest, and vents are all unnecessary complications that don't really make the customers' life any better and hurt service centers.
I think them...
If an old early 2000s Toyota can do this (speaking from experience with my GX) with ATRAC and no lockers, you'd think the dual motor should have no trouble with far easier torque control versus an ICE powerplant.
Still a big head scratcher that they didn't integrate lockers. Seems like a no...
