    Does anyone have an old screenshot of their order configuration showing the original price of the compact spare tire kit ($450?). My guide won't honor the price unless I can show him proof that the lower price actually existed. Thanks, Ben

    Considering BFG KO2 in 295/50/22 - Anyone Else?

    I usually go with a dedicated winter setup, but I'm considering ditching the stock rubber completely and going with an AT that will also do me well in the winter. Curious if anyone else with 22s is going with or already has this tire setup. Any reason I should avoid this tire? I'm aware they...

    S00nish Premium Phone Charger Installed Review & Photos

    This is a quality piece, first of all. Honestly, I bought it for the looks. It really fits with the vehicle and adds to the overall interior appeal. I have a dash mount charger, so the only person that uses this one is my wife, but admittedly this one does connect more often than the OEM, and is...

    Is there any harm in testing an EA charge to 100%? I have a road trip scheduled soon and that would be the first time I use EA chargers, so I wanted to stop by a local EA location and test a charge from 60-100%. Any reason why I shouldn't do that prior to my trip? Thanks, Ben

    Driver Display Wishes

    TLDR: I want the speed in the middle of the driver display. I really wish we could customize the driver display screen. Iā€™m a tall guy at 6ā€™4ā€ and the only way I am able to have full visibility of my speed and the speed limit icon is if I jack the steering wheel all the way up. And that is not...

    Is there a Charger at the Rivian plant in Normal IL?

    I might be routing my road trip through Normal and would love to stop at the Motherland for a charge. Anyone know if they have a public charger there? Seems like it would be the perfect spot for a RAN charger, but I'm not seeing one on the map. Thanks, Ben

    Hitch Mounted Cargo - Impacts?

    I'm planning my first family road trip in the R1S and would really love more cargo space. But while planning this trip I am definitely developing some range anxiety and want to limit any hits to efficiency. That has me leaning towards a hitch mounted cargo system instead of a roof mounted...

    How much, if any, is acceleration performance limited by the current level of charge? Is there a graph that displays the relationship between charge % and torque available? If the drop is significant, I may switch up my daily charging behavior. Thanks, Ben

    Welcome Home R1S

    My son and I drove down to Chicago today to take in the Museum of Science and Industry, and then to trade my 2018 Audi S6 for my new 2023 R1S. It was quite the day, especially considering that it was my first time driving a Rivian. And that the first drive was after taking ownership of my...
