    Electrify America unveils Indoor Flagship Charging Station (opened Feb 9, 2024)

    Although flawed, I like the concept. They are looking toward the future. Letā€™s face it, the homeless numbers are just increasing along with crime. I would feel safer inside a building for 30 minutes. I would assume they would only allow entry with a credit type card or app, similar to an ATM...

    Is Xpel wrap worth it? After nearly 30,000 miles... probably not!

    Does the expel wrap have the same properties as PPF? I was under the impression that wrap will protect the paint but not as well as a true paint protection film.

    Now that is the way the front end should look!

    Maybe in your world but not mine, on both statements.

    Rivian Front Headlights Design

    Letā€™s face it the front headlights are controversial, a lot love them, a lot do not. I am not to sure they wonā€™t change the headlights at some point. I was under the impression that Compass Yellow was rooted deep in the core of Rivian development too. But, and correct me if I am wrong, they...

    Automatic Reverse Mirror Tilt workaround using driver profiles

    Great work around. I really miss the back up mirror tilt feature from my BMW. Helps to keep you within parking lines and parking straight. The cameras are good but are distorted. For me, much better to see my real surroundings. Also helps prevent curb rash to your wheels. I use both mirrors and...

    Washington GC Washer Fluid Group Buy - IT'S ON

    Has anybody ordered and more importantly received their WW fluid order? Also, I have seen a ratio of 1:0, isnā€™t that just straight fluid? KISS principle.

    Customer Satisfaction Campaign -- Overfilled Refrigerant System may cause poor air conditioning / battery cooling (slower level 3 charging)

    I got one, 23xxx. El Segundo SC is supposed to call back with appointment. Not holding my breath. Curious though, since my AC is working very well. Are a lot of others who received the email having AC issues?

    PSA : print this sign before using spare tire / tire rotation by tire shop

    I do not have a spare for my R1T, so I am just speculating, but could the round disc threaded on the bolt and the bolt itself be manufactured as on piece. That way when you turn the disc the bolt would unthread from the bottom, then you could remove the bolt and disc as one piece? I believe a...

    Should you tip your PPF installer?

    In my opinion absolutely no tip. You just dropped 7K. If the company is large and has great installers they should pay them accordingly with no need for tipping. Next we will be tipping the guy behind the counter at the self serve gas station for allowing us to pump our own gas or tipping the DC...

    Rivian tire change blues!

    Have to appreciate your information and content, but your negative delivery sucks. I understand where you are coming from (he could have done more research etc..) but a less degrading more positive post would have been better. Just give him the information and leave it at that. Remember we were...

    Does anyone use and have a recommendation for an extension cable for wall charger

    I use this one: CircleCord UL Listed 50 Amp 50 Feet RV/EV Extension Cord, Heavy Duty 6/3+8/1 Gauge STW Wire with Cord Organizer and Storage Bag, NEMA 14-50P Plug Suit for EV Charging and RV Trailer Campers https://a.co/boNgzGy Maybe just cheap accessories. I received the 25ā€™ version of this...

    Best Paint Protection For Rivian?

    I debated between PPF and ceramic coating and ended up doing PPF through Protective Film Solutions in Orange County CA. There is a detailer in Colorado that weighs the Pros&Cons of both. Try looking up ā€œout of spec detailingā€œ on you tube or search for ā€œClear Detailingā€œ in Colorado. Might give...

    Twraps mud flaps are awesome! Priced reasonably

    You are right in questioning the accuracy of lack of specifics in this test but, if you want something more accurate that then go ahead and do it yourself. Get the parts, get necessary equipment, invest the time, try to get identical drives, and post your results here. I for one appreciate what...

    Rivians built with CCS charge ports will get free NACS adapter, with additional adapters available in the Gear Shop

    Yeah, I donā€™t know how long before self driving cars are readily available, but it seems like the technology is accelerating. The self driving tech is not allowed where I live but I see the Waymo vehicle driving up and down my street and my neighborhood(with a driver) all the time. They make...

    Rivians built with CCS charge ports will get free NACS adapter, with additional adapters available in the Gear Shop

    Not sure if this should be posted here, but couldnā€™t find where it should. Lots of talk about residual value on this thread, but IMHO the true threat to residual value of all vehicles will be autonomous driving, not CCS or NACS. With the possibility of major corporations investing in fleets of...

    Blinker noise is annoying.

    I agree, donā€™t like the turn signal noise, but for those that like it, it would be wrong to just remove that choice. Would like to have options. Iā€™m old, so I like the old mechanical turn signal noise, think it was from a relay switch. Could be wrong on that. Just wish they could program several...

    What do you want addressed in the next OTA update?

    Hey Rivian, Apple has gone to USB-C, ā€™bout time you go to Car Play/Android Auto. Our phones do it all, much of it, way better than your proprietary system. Adapt or be left behind.
