  1. Best Front License Plate Alternative to having Front R1S Bumper Drilled

    These are you 2 best bets for no drilling. Or just don't bother with the plate at all. CA is a front plate required state, but eh, I've never had a plate on my cars since I started driving 20+ years ago. I've met Tony (Quick Bandit) multiple times as he lives out here in the same area at...

  2. Average Rivian Insurance in California

    About $2k/year with Mercury. It's not you, it's just greedy insurance in general. My agent was telling me it's a terrible time in CA right now for insurance. Companies are pulling out of CA because of all the fires and natural disasters that have happened over the last few years. The...

  3. Tire maintenance - Best Practices

    Inflation - yes, 48PSI cold. They warm up and air expands when the car starts to move. Rotation - Honestly you can do this whenever you want, based on your tolerance. Traditionally, you're supposed to rotate front to back (that's how I do it, there's multiple ways) when the difference in tread...

  4. Rivian or another vendor wall charger?

    Made a video on this exact topic. TLDR: Rivian wall charger is kinda pricey and nothing special. Best bang for buck is Emporia's solution, but I don't like the way it looks and it's too big for our space. Tesla makes great products for competitive pricing. If you have some sort of utility...

  5. 60A breaker melted while charging

    You can actually see in the OP post that the breaker is an Eaton Type BR 60a (on the burnt up label "BR 260"). As the other poster mentioned, OP changed it out to a 50a breaker after the fact to get by for now.

  6. How to store a R1 at healthy SOC% for months?

    I think one other thing to point out is that if the car is going to be sitting that long, hopefully someone can stop by every once in a while and drive the car around? A car sitting around for months straight without the tires being exercised is going to develop flat spots. Basically, that'll...

  7. Vandalism at Portland SC

    Dang, we used to go to Portland all the time. Didn't seem like a town that had that much crime. Just a lot of donuts (Blue Star FTW) and Salt and Straw (luckily there's one right down the street from us now) 😄

  8. Upgrading the Rivian horn -- how-to DIY video

    Great job on the tutorial. As others have mentioned, maybe film landscape instead of portrait next time, but the info was there! What I'm wondering (and impressive) is how you were using both hands and filming with no helper? Have a mount of your chest or something? Looks too low for like a...

  9. DIY Tire rotation on the R1S

    Haha, ahh married life.

  10. DIY Tire rotation on the R1S

    I've always rotated any tires I had front to back. Keep it simple and don't worry about switching sides and all that. IMO, there's no real benefit to doing that and you're setting yourself up for potential failure with the directional tires, as you've mentioned and other things like unbalanced...

  11. DIY Tire rotation on the R1S

    Just tell the wifey it's an investment. It's not like you're only rotating your tires once. You'll make that money back eventually. $40 per, that's 12 tire rotations. Rotate tires every 5k, that's 60k miles. Don't know how long you're planning on keeping the car, but I'll easily be able to...

  12. Grumpy Rivian drivers no wave

    I think at this point, I've had more Rivian drivers just ignore me than wave. I'm starting to see them pretty regularly too. I literally wave at every one I see since there are "only a handful" at this point. That just means there's more people that aren't on the forums and are just driving a...

  13. Payment in advance of delivery?

    Eh, depends on you and the SC. Here in the Bay Area, SJ let me pay for rest of the car on delivery day with a cashiers check. They just wanted the CC uploaded in the 8 steps at least 2 days before scheduled delivery so the team could look at it and make sure it was good. Personally, I'm not...

  14. Amended Tax Return Question

    I wanted to file the 1040x electronically, but I called the IRS just to make sure. And the lady on the phone said you could do that, but then they are going to come asking for the 8936, which you'd have to send by mail. With that info, I ended up just mailing the 1040x with the 8936 to make...

  15. Cost for NEMA 14-50 Install in Indiana

    It should really cost you like $500, maybe a bit more since the run isn't directly at the box. Mine was $500 last year at the box in CA. So yours really should be cheaper. Get some more quotes. The one you got just sounds expense. And if the electrician asks what car it's for, just tell...

  16. R1S Chrome Delete - TWRAPS vs EV Sportline

    I have the EV Sportline version. It's all the same stuff. As you stated, they both use 3M 2080 and are both digitally cut, so it really doesn't matter. I went with EV Sportline because you get 2 sets included in the price. In my case, I needed it because the very first piece I tried to take...

  17. Delivery & Home Charger Install Help

    One thing to add on the charging. Since you have to use 6AWG THHN for the 60a breaker, if you're going that route. Make sure the electrician puts that wiring in conduit. Whatever conduit works for your situation. It's against code to have THHN just hanging out or buried inside a wall without...

  18. Buying from Shop and Tax Credit

    You have the BPA, you'll be fine. You should see your pre price increase pricing in the shop for any car you look at. The BPA enables you to pretend like the IRA act doesn't exist in a sense.

    R1S on 21s

    Mine says like 340
