  1. Where to fix tire puncture?

    This is what I just did for the wifes car. I took it to a tire shop and they didn't even want to bother with it, even though it's well within the repair lane. Just get one of the $20 plug kits that use an electric drill... super easy to do.
  2. R2 in Teal, Evergreen, Slate 🎨

    That teal is looking pretty cool to me. After having Limestone on my R1T, sometimes I went a little more adventurous with green/blue/yellow. It's a little too close to the Tacomas flay grey.
  3. 20" Nitto Recon Grappler AT tires 25% more efficient than Pirelli OEM AT! The holy grail!

    These kinds of tests are always a bit flawed. Efficiency is such a tricky measurement for EVs because the environmental difference in seasons could account for the change. Either way, nice write up.
  4. R3 lower price and smaller than R2 (5" shorter wheelbase). R3X is wider than R3

    The more interesting thing to me is RJ mentioned less than 300miles on the base trim of the R2.
  5. R3X Reveal Shocks Even More!!! 🤯

    So insane!!! It's like a lifted golf r, or a super cool take on vintage audi rally cars. So fuckin cool.
  6. R2 Price, Specs, Dimensions leaked!! $47500, 0-60 3 sec, 330 miles range

    People really need to lower their expectations on performance. If the ~47k model is still sub 5s to 60 thats still insane for the price point. No one needs to go any faster. The saying goes if you give a man an inch they'll take a mile. We want Rivian to make an offering to the masses, not...
  7. R1T - DNA Motoring cargo bed rack

    There's not a ton of info on bed racks out there so I wanted to share this one that I spent months trying to find. Basically everything was either too narrow, too long, too expensive, or too cheap. This one fits perfectly on the bed and has adjustable rails that makes it easy to mount. Took...
  8. [Updated w/ Video] RJ Scaringe discusses R2 & Rivian in Forbes article (2/20/24)

    I have a feeling that was carefully worded to include the tax credit in the bottom line. I woulod be surprised if it was 48k before incentives.. but it would be awesome if it's true.
  9. Alone in Alabama?

    I was at the Buccees in Athens, AL off of 65 and noticed there are some Mercades Benz fast chargers going in. Couldn't find any additional info online, but this is great news since it's right off the interstate. From what I can see, MB will open these up to the public.
  10. Minor damage repair estimate: $49,880!

    I'm with you. If my premium doubles I'll have to strongly consider wether I keep it or not. My R1T was in the body shop for 10 months and I have PTSD driving it around. I'd be lying if I wasn't considering swapping it with a cheaper ICE. I made a huge mistake not having rental added to...
  11. Finally charged at a Tesla Magic Dock Supercharger

    I'm honestly OK with charging prices being high if it means better site reliability. If rivian needs to increase energy costs for RAN to be more widespread I'm all for it. We need better infrastructure FAST.
  12. R1T Truck Bed tent?

    That's cool, but still really expensive to use a few times a year. If I had the garage space I'd consider something like that.
  13. R2 Product Launch at Laguna Beach on March 7th!

    Since there are 6 vehicles, I'd bet one of them is an updated enduro quad motor / ascent trim.
  14. Rivian BREAK IN caught on gear guard camera video

    That repair bill is batshit crazy and I think it's obvious by looking at the labor prices Rivian service centers are trying to increase profitability. 5hrs for 'calibration and reset' ON A BACK WINDOW REPLACEMENT. 1hr for a 'post repair scan'. These are the things that increase insurance rates...
  15. Tested: Preconditioning actually helps (duh) in cold weather driving!

    IMO pre conditioning the battery is more about getting the most range when setting off. I don't know if I'd bother on short trips.. but maybe I'm wrong.
  16. Cybertruck Highway Range Test by Out Of Spec

    Hmm.. then the DM must really be a lot more efficient, because in those temps I barely got over 2 miles per kwh in my quad, even on longer trips.
  17. Cybertruck Highway Range Test by Out Of Spec

    Considering the temps, I'm not sure the R1T would have faired much better (Dual motor 20" AT). The big issue is the hype around it. Every cybertruck forum stating this thing is going to be MILES AHEAD in efficiency. Although it's hard to tell tesla fanboys from bots these days.
  18. Software Update 2023.50 -- Scheduled battery preconditioning & other useful improvements!

    What blows my mind about these requests... we are witnessing a HUGE update to actual vehicle livability and functionality but somehow streaming videos is the more important. I genuinely don't understand. Not to mention they probably already have this feature complete but are waiting on people...
  19. Ebay crossbars?

    I'm not interested unless it mounts directly to the existing mounting points. The truth is, many dealer accessories are made 2 streets away from each other in China, and are then marked up appropriately. What you pay for is fitment. If they used the correct mounting points it MIGHT be worth it...
