I was headed down to south Houston today and found myself driving for about 15 minutes next to a new BYD Shark with Mexican plates (presumably from the factory down there). It was the first time I had seen one in person, and being in my R1T it was an interesting side-by-side (at least while...

Just for fun, here is what ChatGPT came up with as a render for an off road edition and for a dune edition of the R2S. Not bad IMO

This out this morning: Rivian (significant minority shareholder) launching "a new electric micromobility company that spun out of Rivian and aims to release a flagship product by 2026 that isn't a car, but will help city-dwellers get around in other ways. " I'm sure this will be a real...

We've decided to sell the new 275/65 R20 Pirelli All-Terrain Plus tires that came on the Dune. We took this off after less than 100 miles. Will also throw in the new cover we bought when we thought we would keep them. These retail at Discount Tire for $439 each. Selling them for $900 for the...

So I did the 70 mph range test on conserve this morning. I ran from 100% down to 2% and got 324 miles => 330 miles. Adding in the buffer the total range is ~335. Michelin Defender tires on the Dune 275/60/R20s Max Pack On Conserve mode Efficiency 2.43 mi / kwh Temps ranged 55 - 73 degrees...

My wife was not loving the noise or ride on the Pirelli AT’s of her new Dune so we swapped out to Defender LTX M/S2. Went with the 275/60/R20s to bring wheel diameter down to 33” same as 22’s and gain some additional range. Planning to do a software wheel swap as soon as new software lands this...

Amazon is launching its new Alexa+ this month (see links) which promises to be a genuinely smart digital assistant that can remember you and follow you seamlessly across devices etc. Do we have any guidance on whether it is coming to the Rivian and whether it will be included in connect+ or will...

My wife is seriously looking at the R1S Dune to replace her current (pejorative term for the vehicle deleted) elon-mobile. Rivian says it has 351 range in conserve (i.e. the same as my G1 dual motor large R1T). Does anyone have any data they can share on how the vehicle with the AT package...

The Thanksgiving weekend will be the first big test of the SC network being open to non-Teslas. In the best of times, stations are jammed during the holidays, but now there will be lots of folks taking up two stalls with RIvians and Fords and GMs etc. I have to take a 550 mile road trip on...

It is official... effective this evening, anyone can go onto the Tesla website and buy a (non-foundation series) CyberTruck with an estimated delivery of October - November. The 2 million reservations translated into fewer than 50,000 sales.

I picked this up from Amazon on a recommendation from someone. It completely solved the problem and now wireless charging on my iPhone 15 works perfectly every time (both sides). It is not the most elegant solution and not sure if it will last, but it is (reasonably) inexpensive and it works...

I have two 21" wheels for sale. One has some rim rash (see photo) for $20 the other looks good ($40). I bought them from another forum member. Have not put tires on them. Available for pickup in Houston TX or you can pay shipping plus an exorbitant inconvenience fee (which you may propose) for...

Well, that is interesting. Out of curiosity I dropped a $250 deposit on the Cybertruck just over two weeks ago (I cancelled my previous CT reservation and bought an R1T). Today I got an invite to configure my foundation series for delivery in next few weeks. So apparently if you would like a CT...

Original post: "The ride on my R1T (DM Large) is gone from great to awful with the 19.04 update. It is like it is stuck in firm. Every bump (even small freeway bumps!) are transmitted through the vehicle and on poorly paved roads it is as crappy a my much-hated old Silverado. Is anyone else...

based on revised small overlap test, 2024 R1T back to Top Safety Pick Plus https://www.teslarati.com/rivian-r1t-safety-iihs-pickup/ Scroll to bottom for updated test. https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/rivian/r1t-crew-cab-pickup/2024

I propose that "R3X" be pronounced "rex" (as in king, ruler, etc.) not "r-three-x" (which is lame 70s-era space movie lingo). The Rivian R3X is the bad-a$$ed undisputed king of the hot hatch world. It is a tri-motor super hatch deserving of the title REX. What say you Rivian enthusiasts?

This looks like very excellent news for Rivian and the R2 platform. https://insideevs.com/news/710014/ford-maverick-bronco-ev-postoned/

Apologies for what will be an obvious question, but I cannot find answers through the search and the old RTM did help much. When I have the R1T at the job site I find that it stays on or locks and unlocks depending on my location. I need to it stay unlocked but otherwise power down (except the...

I have been searching the interwebs and the forum for any information on whether Rivian plans to bring Driver+ up to the level of automation that Tesla EAP/ GM Supercruise/ Ford BlueCruise etc. have on the highway? (Automatic lane changes, automatic freeway interchanges on mapped highways...

Why is the Rivian version of Alexa is so stupid when it comes to navigation? The map itself is very good at recognizing and finding locations but the voice command Alexa is a complete idiot. "Navigate to Kroger on ____ Dr. in Houston" Alexa: Okay there is a Kroger in ____ Ohio, do you want that...
