Bougie (Glamping) Checklist Recommendations for R1S
purists will scoff, but I like any of the small Keurig coffeemakers--It's nice to have basically instant coffee, and my wife and differ on lightroast/dark roast so we each get what we want. I also like running water--there are a number of options with 5 gallon jugs and electric pumps... -
Do You Really Need EV-Specific Tires? Real-World Test Based Answers
While EVs typically weigh more than the most directly comparable ICE vehicles, and prioritize rolling resistance and perhaps noise more than ICE cars, the tires themselves don't care a whit about the source of the torque. For those of us old enough to have bought audio equipment during the '80s... -
Crossbar foot will not do 2nd latch 'click'
None of the four feet on mine would latch with just thumb pressure on the tabs, but all of them do immediately if I "thump" them with a closed fist while holding pressure on the tab. To be clear, I don't thump the tab, I hold the tab and thump straight down towards the ground on the top of the... -
Now Available: 2024.07.02 Software Update: Tesla Supercharger Access Coming Soon, Navigation Improvements, Room Entry And Exit Enhancements & More
I can't see that anyone else seems to be excited about this but me, but I'm looking forward to this. It's a bit geeky, but with a multi-leg drive plan I'd like to see rivian adopt the aviation standard color for the active leg, which is magenta (sort of purple). Subsequent but inactive legs... -
2024.03.02 Software Update: Quick Control Shortcuts, Improved Soft Sand Mode, New Ride Feel Setting, Etc.
It shows up on the lower right of the driver screen--depicts the right thumb button on the steering wheel. It shows up with 100 yds or so of my house when I'm approaching, and when I'm leaving it pops up as soon as I put my foot on the brake. It's exactly the same as the button legend that...- Joe schmoe

2024.03.02 Software Update: Quick Control Shortcuts, Improved Soft Sand Mode, New Ride Feel Setting, Etc.
The functionality you're asking for has been there at least since the last update--I routinely back into my driveway, hit the steering wheel button as I'm reversing. It pops up on the lower right driver screen based on GPS location. I like it better than the geofenced automatic opening in my...- Joe schmoe

Bloomington, IL Charging. What gives?
Was the EA charger working properly? That seems to be a chronically problematic site. I charged there to and from the Oshkosh airshow last summer, and on the return the best of the four handles was supplying I think 90kw. One of the others around 30kw and two other two just dead. I showed up... -
My first AT tire - any reason this can’t be plugged?
Ahh, that may be a clue. I had an OG Model S, bought it in early 2015 way before the tires with sound deadening foam were a thing. I never bought a set of those, just some Pirellis that were recommended on the forums. With the sound deadening foam, I think you may be stuck with the "slime" or... -
My first AT tire - any reason this can’t be plugged?
That would be less than ideal. At various times, I plugged three of the tires on my Tesla Model S (one of them twice). When one of the plugs kept leaking slowly, I took it to Pep Boys and they patched it from the inside. I don't remember the exact cost but it was fairly trivial. Never... -
My first AT tire - any reason this can’t be plugged?
If this were my tire, I'd get the plug kit out, along with my bottle of soapy water, and then take whatever that is out. If it's not leaking, put everything away and stop worrying about it. If it -does- leak, then I'd plug it and if it holds air, I'd stop worrying about it. If you... -
Florida New Rivian Portable Charger
Did you buy an extra charger? I would think you'd trade the charger with the R1S otherwise- Joe schmoe

Rivian R1S Full Sized Spare Tire Patent w/ waste can, a food cooler, or a first aid kit
OK, I'll bite. Why do "EVs" take so many nails? In our household that certainly hasn't been the case, but I realize that the plural of anecdote =/=evidence.- Joe schmoe

New Magic Dock Alabaster, AL
It seems that Tesla has quietly added another CCS friendly location more or less on the I-20 corridor, in Alabaster, AL. There is already a 4 cabinet EA site there, but I've never seen it with all 4 cabinets working, and there is often a line to charge. Still really wishing for the...- Joe schmoe

Share your winter road trip gear list and survival kit
Those containers are like gold. You might have noticed that Costco no longer sells the nuts packaged that way. My wife now buys the nuts in the plastic bags, and refills the plastic containers. -
My evil twin having a bad morning... R1S crash
It wasn't me--You and I met briefly when you were kind enough to give me a tour of your R1T while I was waiting for the R1S. I did meet a local broker (ironically driving a 4runner IIRC) who waved me down one day last spring because he had an R1S on order. I gave him a tour, and I -think- he...- Joe schmoe

My evil twin having a bad morning... R1S crash
Fortunately, no. My wife left the house first, and called me about it on her way to work. It's seriously maybe half a block, and if you've seen my wife drive you'd know that even as quick as the Rivian is, nobody would've had time to jump in it after she left, pass her, and have a wreck.- Joe schmoe

My evil twin having a bad morning... R1S crash
I don't know for sure that he's evil, but since I'm good I assume he's the evil one. My friends will text me once or twice a week that they saw me somewhere that I wasn't. I finally saw the other white R1S, roof racks, same wheels and tires, but sadly it got into an apparent disagreement with...- Joe schmoe
