A few weeks back we were traveling over the Santiam Pass here in Oregon and I hit a patch of ice, the truck got a little squirrely. I then read on the forms that others were less than impressed by the AT20's in packed snow / ice. So I decided to get a set of snow tires for the rig. I have...
Got my truck back this morning from having the latches adjusted on the gear tunnel, tailgate, and frunk. As well as half-shafts lubricated (to get rid of the low speed tock), and an alignment.
Everything looks to have been completed to my satisfaction, except now the tonneau appears to be...
Headed out on the road yesterday and drove from PDX to Antioch, CA with a straight shot down I-5. I was curious to find out how ABRB estimates and Rivian GPS estimates compared to what you actually end up with.
AT 20's, Conserve Mode the whole time, Interstate's driven at the speed limit +...
So, I went in to reconfigure my R1S reservation because I was bored, and because I was still bored I clicked the ? just to see if I still had a guide.
I do, but it's no longer my original guide (Zach) it's now June. I clicked the SMS button to shoot over a text and ask what was going on. And...
Anyone installed a WeBoost in their Rivian?
I got the Drive Reach but can't find a good solution for installing it.
I'd love to find some sort of stealth ingress into the Gear Tunnel, but haven't had any luck (but also am not adventurous enough to start removing trim pieces). The Gear tunnel...
Finally got around to installing my camping stuff on the truck.
The tent is a Thule/Tepui Kukenam 3 I bought a couple years back.
The awning is a Rhino Racks Sunseeker. I had to order their special brackets to get the awning to hang over the edge of the bars.
The other day I purchased a 7...
Was driving home from Bend, and decided to run up to Timberline lodge. on Mt. Hood.
Any of you who have seen the original version of The Shining might recognize it as it served as the exterior of The Overlook hotel.
The lodge was built as a WPA project and has had a very colorful history...
I hadn't seen this shared here before and I ran across it today, so I thought I'd post it up. It's a list of scenic drives in Oregon that are EV friendly. Most of us locals are probably aware of these, but if your'e visiting from out of the area it could be a useful resource...
This question kind of came up in another thread, but I wanted to call it out.
Right now my truck refuses to connect to WiFi - I even installed a new 2.4Ghz router very close to the truck to try and address this (I do have a service call open, and am waiting to hear back).
Others have said...
I had a leak in my front tire, so I decided to swap out the spare so I could drop the bad one off to get looked at.
Followed the procedure exactly, got the tires changed, and then went to take the truck out of Off Road Highest and only the back end will drop. Tried several different drive modes...
I just finished driving my truck from the factory in Normal to my home near Portland over 2,200 highway miles over three days, and by far the biggest disappointment was the driver+ system. I'm going to share some thoughts, but would love to hear other people's opinions. As I said in the linked...
Background:
I had told my guide half jokingly that I'd even fly to Normal and drive my truck back to Oregon if that was what it was going to take to get one into my driveway asap. He said, he'd look into it - and then told we could make it work. I
Day 0:
I picked up my R1T at the factory today...
So, my guide tells me there is a truck for me in Normal, and they can ship it to Portland (of course) or (because I asked about this) he said I could fly to Normal and pick it up.
Part of me obviously wants to do this - ABRP puts the 2000 mile trip at 45 hours (inclusive of charging). I can...
Since setting our initial pricing in September 2020, the world has changed. Due to rising raw material costs and global supply chain factors, we’ll soon be adjusting pricing across nearly all Lucid Air models.
This change will go into effect on June 1, 2022, so if you’re considering a Lucid...
Apparently someone from Portland filled in their old address when they ordered their accessories (or Rivian used the wrong address).
My friend posted on Twitter that he got two boxes delivered to his house, and Rivian wants him to cart them back to a UPS store (rather than sending UPS to come...
this person just signed their buyer's agreement and notice they have the camp kitchen configured.
so if you assume that this agreement means his delivery is imminent, then it appears camp kitchens don't affect delivery timing of the truck (i guess it could be possible he gets the truck soon...
I have read that the 21" tires are the sweet spot for range on the R1T, and moving to the 20" tires can cost up to 15% (I believe that's what I saw on these forums)
I also vaguely remember reading that the 21" tire that Rivian was using was a custom (or at least fairly uncommon) size.
Are...
