    Chicago to Vancouver - Use Rivian or ABRP?

    All good advice in the above posts. I would add Tesla FindUs to the mix.

    $1700 Service Center ONLY Windshield Replacement is UNSUSTAINABLE !

    I concur with the others in this thread who believe $1700 is not exorbitant. I recently had Rivian replace the windshield which I had to pay out of pocket and then submit to State Farm. When I asked my agent about this expense she said it was quite reasonable and not to worry about my rates...

    Nokian 20" All Season Tires (One HT) - Thoughts?

    I contacted Nokian about recommended tire pressures for the R1T and this was their response. I generally keep my tires inflated to Rivian's recommended pressure of 48 psi.

    Trailer Valet Blackout 10K Hitch (BSDH0030, Class IV, 2") on a Rivian R1T -- anyone try?

    Iā€™ve been using this drop hitch from Harbor Freight for about 6 months now and Iā€™m pretty happy with it. Used it to pull a 12,000 lb trailer so I know itā€™s sturdy.

    Nokian 20" All Season Tires (One HT) - Thoughts?

    Iā€™ve been really happy with them. As noted by @kayabusa itā€™s not an especially soft ride but I use my truck for towing my 6000 lb Airstream or a 10,000 lb hydraulic trailer so Iā€™m all about the strength of this tire.. I like how quiet this tire rides on freeways and Iā€™m really happy with the...

    Warning - Safety Defect Found with Lectron NACS Adapter

    I had an issue with the A2Z Typhoon adapter at a heavily used Tesla SuperCharger. The first stall I tried I could not engage the Typhoon lock but I tried plugging into my R1T anyway. As I would hope, my R1T threw an error annd refused to charge. Upon examination I realized the SuperCharger...

    Charging at Tesla’s V4 SuperCharger w/ A2Z Typhoon adapter

    Well Iā€™ve only visited the V4 SuperCharger in Wilsonville and it did not have a MagicDock. I believe you have to filter on ā€œSuperChargers Open to Other EVsā€ on Teslaā€™s Find Us web page in order to find MagicDocks.

    You need to filter on ā€œSuperChargers Open to NACSā€.

    Charging at Tesla’s V4 SuperCharger w/ A2Z Typhoon adapter

    There are 2 SuperChargerā€™s in Cabazon: Desert Hills Outlet and the Morongo Travel Center but only the Travel Center will work for us. You should always check out Tesla Findus to determine which SCā€™s we can use. Hint, if it doesnā€™t say ā€œOpen to Tesla and NACS Enabled Vehiclesā€œ it wonā€™t work.

    Charging at Tesla’s V4 SuperCharger w/ A2Z Typhoon adapter

    I was surprised as well. I was wondering if Tesla was trying to encourage people to charge there as a means of testing the V4 SuperCharger. I have 3 followers on Instagram (my wife & kids) so maybe Tesla gave me a special rate since Iā€™m a big influencer.

    Charging at Tesla’s V4 SuperCharger w/ A2Z Typhoon adapter

    I supercharged at 3 Tesla locations in Oregon this week and at all 3 locations I was approached by curious Tesla owners. They were not at all concerned about congestion ā€” they know more SuperChargerā€™s are coming, a lot more ā€” and one person said he was holding off on an R1T until he could use...

    Charging at Tesla’s V4 SuperCharger w/ A2Z Typhoon adapter

    I recently had the opportunity to test my A2Z Typhoon adapter with Teslaā€™s V4 SuperCharger in Wilsonville, OR. It was super easy ā€” just plugged in and my R1T started charging ā€” and the best news is that the V4 cable is long enough that you donā€™t need to take up 2 stalls. I parked in the center...

    First Charge with A2Z NACS to CCS adapter (success!)

    Add me to the list of satisfied customers. Ordered my Typhoon adapter on Mar 3, received it last week, was finally able to test it yesterday and it worked as advertised. I used the Tesla app to initiate the charge since Iā€™m more familiar with it and was very easy. As a side note, if I had...

    šŸ¤” Impact of a heat pump on R1 efficiency?

    If you want a really deep dive into how Tesla implements their heat pump system just google this You Tube video from Weber State University: ā€œUnderstanding Tesla's Heat Pump Systemā€.

    Tesla Model Y price slashing again, and the future of RIVN

    Oh I definitely enjoy my Model X. But Iā€™m more into the functionality of a vehicle and how well it meets my needs. I realize that most people choose a vehicle base on style or because it makes a statement.

    Tesla Model Y price slashing again, and the future of RIVN

    I took delivery of my R1T in July 2021 and was so impressed I immediately placed an order for the R1S. When I received my configuration email last Fall I was shocked to see that the configuration I wanted priced out at $102k. I decided to cancel the R1S and go with Teslaā€™s Model X at $88k...

    Best 3rd party tonneau cover?

    Numerous tests by MotorTrend, Car & Driver, and others have shown there is very little reduction in Cd by installing a tonneau cover. This test (SnugTop) was fairly comprehensive and determined that max reduction was 6.5% at a speed of 50 mph. For driving around town the reduction would be...

    First Charge with A2Z NACS to CCS adapter (success!)

    Ordered my Typhoon Adapter on Mar 3 and received it today. It clearly states that it can only be used on V3 & V4 Tesla SuperChargers. Does anyone know what happens if we plug this into a V1 or V2 SuperCharge?

    Just test drove a Model X...

    You use FSD thru roundabouts?!? I havenā€™t worked up the nerve to try that yet. :oops:
