    I wouldn't bet against Toyota ....... Mirai XLE with a 402-mile EPA-estimated driving range. *

    I almost bought a Mirai when the promotions and incentives took the price down to the high $20Ks. Then I saw a YouTube video of the terrible fueling experience and I gave up on the idea. Wait times are long at fueling stations due to nozzle freezing or the pump being out of order. With EVs...

    Why isnā€™t it TM instead of TRI?

    Odd Email from Rivian??

    As with all potential spam you should check the senderā€™s email address. Sometimes that can be spoofed but most of the time you can tell itā€™s not legit just from that. Also the link they sent you may look suspicious. Mouse over it and see where it takes you without clicking it.

    Need Advice on getting quad vs. dual

    Yeah maybe this varies by individual vehicle. Looks like a couple folks on this thread have not experienced this noise but a couple others have.

    Need Advice on getting quad vs. dual

    Congrats! I think you made a good choice. Iā€™ve had a quad motor R1T for about a year and recently drove a brand new dual motor max pack R1S for four days (loaner while the T was being repaired for some minor items). The loaner had less than 130 miles on it and I was excited to try it out because...

    R2 Reservation Info ($100), Reveal Event Date and Page now on Rivian Website [Updated w/ R2 Teaser Video]

    I hope someone makes an R2D2 decal that goes over the headlights. I also have a feeling that a meme with Luke screaming ā€œR2!ā€ may appear with some frequency in this forum.

    Beautiful. Where is that?

    Agricover Lomax Folding Tonneau

    Cool let me know how it goes. It might take a few attempts. In my case the rear (towards the tail gate) needed to be lower. Not sure if this might be due to variations in Rivian build quality from vehicle to vehicle. I never could get the right rail to fit exactly as nicely as the left rail...

    Agricover Lomax Folding Tonneau

    Thanks! I installed this months ago and realized I had to adjust the rails a few times to lower the cover so that the rain doesnā€™t get in. A couple weeks ago I drove through pouring rain on a 4 hour road trip and not a single drop got in the bed. Really impressed with the cover.

    Hitch tow hook recommendations?

    Nice. That DRT one looks beefy.

    Charging Port popping open when hosing car down!

    Just lock the truck. Itā€™ll prevent the door from opening. The water mimics when you touch the opener with your finger.

    Rivian deposit refund refusal

    I remember seeing the message repeatedly about how confirming my order means the deposit is non-refundable. They make no promises on delivery date unfortunately. Iā€™m sorry to hear about your experience though.

    Thank you! I like this one being a whole kit.

    Rivian wall charger versus current Chargepoint Flex

    Not in my experience with the R1T I took delivery of in March 2023. I have it plugged in while Iā€™m out of town and after initially charging and stopping, the phantom drain will take SOC well below the set point unless I wake the truck up with the app or I show up in person to wake up the truck.

    Rivian wall charger versus current Chargepoint Flex

    Why does your charger stop charging and then need to start again? If the car is fully charged when it stops why do you need it to start again? Do you have an external power shutoff that cuts power to the charger?

    Check my math, please.

    Do you tow regularly with the truck? Maybe thatā€™s why youā€™re getting 1 mile/kWh. What mileage do you get with the Toyota when towing (if you do)?

    Feels like I found a secret decode (easter egg) -- Rivian symbol appeared on the bed floor

    Open the spare tire compartment and look under the lid. It has the Rivian logo. The differential thickness of the plastic there produces the frost pattern on top. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/attachments/img_5145-jpeg.29870/

    Rivian crashes into Hollywood restaurant [update: driven by Ferris Bueller's Day Off star Alan Ruck]

    Did the car have electronic brake control at the time that failed as well? Iā€™m trying to understand how the engine overpowered the brakes. Most ICE vehicles have a stopping time and distance significantly shorter than the car can accelerate, indicating that braking power is much higher than the...
