It seems like there’s a few people here that really want this setup to have poor range results. I don’t calculate my range on trips or obsess about range while driving, I enjoy the vehicle. I rarely use Conserve mode and I generally drive as fast as I can get away with. I’ve also let many...

The rubbing is only at the extreme outer edge of the tire. I’m guessing that if the tire was 2-3mm narrower it would not rub. after using these tires for about 10K miles now, there’s no damage to my inner fenders from the infrequent rubbing. So it can’t be much. So yes, I’d bet that a...

Also, Tesla had the unique advantage of being gifted a free factory (Fremont) & production tools from Toyota. That had to help.

Not difficult, but not convenient. Just like when two taps on the screen was all it took to close my garage door, but the new one touch steering wheel option is a huge upgrade. I agree with the OP, I’d like an optional setting to have all the exterior lights turn off when in park. Especially...

In some cases “frame damage” can be something that’s easily repaired, but for some reason the insurance company will not allow it & insist on replacement. These become salvaged title vehicles that are repaired & used without issues. I know someone that got a great deal on a nearly new Porsche...

I purchased RIVN this morning also for the same reason. The article linked pointed out that the stock has risen 60% in the past three months. So perhaps the market was anticipating this good news & had already boosted the stock price accordingly. Also from the article: “…new EV SUVs and...

Weren’t comparable versions of those SUV’s priced at least that much higher than the R1S?

Thanks for sharing this. This is the first time I’ve heard that Amazon’s order has been increased to 400K vans by 2025. This seems like big news. Has this been verified? Also on this video was the topic of other companies lowering prices of some EV’s, and does Rivian need to lower its prices...

Saw this on the freeway today. Looked like it had been driven hard off road. It was dirty, had big scratches & a couple broken body trim parts.

My $0.02. My R1T came with 22’s and I also have a set of aftermarket 20’s with BFG AT’s. I prefer driving it with the 20’s because I don’t have to worry about touching a curb & scratching my wheel, because the sidewalls on the stock 22” tires aren‘t tall or wide enough to protect the rims from...

The only place I could find TPMS sensors at the time was Tire Rack. They weren’t cheap, but they were supposed to be the same as the OEM sensors used by Rivian. They worked as advertised, so no complaints. There were other threads here somewhere with a lot more discussion about TPMS sensors.

Details here.

Sorry for my ignorance, but how do you order this, and what’s the price? I couldn’t find it in the Rivian Gear Shop.

https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/rivian-unloading-bay-area-real-estate-18142498.php According to this article, Rivian is bailing out of a lease for two large industrial buildings in Hayward, CA. This is disappointing news for those of us hoping that there was going to be a new service center...

Are these alignments at Rivian Service Centers being done for free under warranty? My steering wheel didn’t used to be off center, but it is now. Seems like something an alignment would fix. Unless the SC would do it for free, it’d be more convenient to have it aligned at a local shop.

I like this idea almost as much as your name (cowsr4eating). But I don’t think it would work. Reason - Rivians use gravity to lower themselves when air is released from the springs. But with one corner held up by a fixed object, the force of gravity wouldn’t be allowed to work. If there were...

This is sound thinking. Having driven my R1T on both stock 22’s and aftermarket 20’s for a few months, I’d warn against the 22’s on stock tires in urban environments if you want to avoid wheel damage. The 22” tires aren‘t wide or tall enough to protect the rim from curb damage. This combined...
