    New v4? tesla superchargers are great for Rivians

    Here is one in Bay Area 101 / Bernal exit, 32 total I think v4 chargers with max 325kW support. They have the long cable (known) + their placement allows for both back-in and pull-in methods. Some pics.

    forget cracked windshields, who has cracked their front bumper camera?

    Not the same but my 6yr old Model 3 rear camera was getting blurry - likely front plastic was getting UV damage! cost to replace (part and labor) by Tesla service was $120, and included calibration. I was very pleasantly surprised! I hope with higher volume, Rivian service costs will start to...

    New Rivian x iKamper Skycamp Mini for R1T/R1S

    I got the DLX Mini recently for $4695. So $100 more than the Rivian Skycamp version. The Rivian Skycamp Mini 3.0 is missing two important things - (1) the cork bed that covers the aluminum floor, this keeps cold away, quietens the tent & reduces condensation, (2) the locks for the RTT straps...

    Dual Motor Performance Upgrade/Unlock applies to all modes (including All-Purpose)

    I don’t know how to say this but here is a comparison: my 5.4 sec single motor long range model 3 feels way faster than the 4.5 sec R1T… 🤣 Visualize a small 50-seater commuter plane at takeoff vs a super jumbo 400 seater Dreamliner take off. From inside both planes, the 50 seater takeoff is...

    Driver Display Mileage Range Estimate in 2nd gen R1S

    I haven't tried the reset history function...and what I have learnt from the forum - many members were Gen1 owners that described t that way. The driver display is your EPA range based on battery life degradation, where as, the navigation "range remaining at destination" takes into account your...

    Driver Display Mileage Range Estimate in 2nd gen R1S

    From what I have read - the driver display range estimate is an indicator of the general health of the battery. If your (displayed mile range / % range) x 100 is equal or very close to your original range when you bought it - then battery health is 100%. As battery degrades, that formula will...

    Can we start waving???

    it's so beautifully done! The plug & wire on the left - to me it looks like the wall is "plugged in" and the orange glow is due to the electricity going "into" the wall :). Unplug and the orange hue changes to a darker shade, depicting night, and the birds have retired to their nests...

    Suspension Clunking in Gen 2 R1S with 22" Sport Wheels—Is This Normal , fixable?

    I had seen a YouTube video of how the shafts are designed to allow extension to such heights (offroad high settings), and also to handle the weight - which is higher than other SUVs mentioned above. The two piece shaft with ball bearings is what is causing those noise? My gen2 is very quiet so...

    Suspension Clunking in Gen 2 R1S with 22" Sport Wheels—Is This Normal , fixable?

    My Gen2 R1T (Nov build) had a front passenger side suspension make a flapping sound when going over bump…only passenger side. the tech went for a ride, found a speed bump closeby, got down from the truck, and listened in while I drove on the speed bump. This time, the window was down and what...

    R2 using Large Die Castings / Gigacasting - reveals RJ

    @Dark-Fx , holy that's 570lb. But two dirt bikes will be farther off from the hitch (vs one center mass Livewire closer to hitch) - but regardless, this is great to see, thank you. Happy motoring!! But separately - why the ride on a wet day? :)

    R2 using Large Die Castings / Gigacasting - reveals RJ

    I am ignoring the personal banter and looking to learn from this discussion...as I was in a situation where I needed to tow a dirt bike using the hitch with a hitch carrier - and carrier + the 140cc Kawi had a total weight of 260lb, and the Model Y was rated to have 3,500 lb towing capacity...

    2025.06 Update Release Notes

    The “go chime” would be less than usable until the system can detect the traffic light.

    2025.06 Update Release Notes

    the app 2.20.0 is out (App Store / apple at least) and I updated it. R1T is in service - so there isn't much for me to look at in terms of the PDM offer.
