I've done the trip to Truckee from I-280/Woodside Road quite a few times (22/Quad). I always stop at the RAN at REI in Sacramento or EA in Auburn. At the RAN, I'm around 50% without taking any special effort to conserve battery or using conserve mode. I'm typically in sport or all purpose...

CarPlay/AA would have been really nice last Friday when I was driving to Tahoe. Complete loss of navigation and audio other than what you can do on your phone due to internet outage. Options are always a good thing and they're sorely needed. The XC40 is a great example of having options. I...

Weird. Mine is on wifi, yet is stuck on V03.00.30. It is a V7 model. I'm guessing that's what it shipped with. I wonder why so many of us are stuck on that version when newer ones are coming out.

Ugh. I just tried this. It had multiple errors on almost every screen. Also said that I already applied or had decals, but I've never applied.

Glad she's OK. R1S max pack with 21" would help with range anxiety if you have any other combo now. The Volvo XC90 Recharge is a really nice plug-in hybrid. My wife had one before going all electric. My dad liked it enough he traded in his Escalade on one. Safety on these is also very good.

Wait times are nuts. I tried to book a simple door handle sticking repair this morning. SSF was booking June or July. I wound up choosing May at San Jose. When I brought mine in to SSF to get a spare tire installed (no option for self install), they initially wanted my car for days or even a...

BrainXploder or if you're in a state that allows it, a license plate sticker.

I like GM, have owned three of their cars from three different brands (Chevy, Saab, Cadillac), and rent them constantly. There are some things they're really great at like suspension and chassis tuning. Their engines are also world class. With that said, their infotainment systems are more...

I had some units with iGo based navigation in previous cars. What I liked was that it could default to 2D up, but then when you got close to your turn, you could configure it for 3D view with lane by lane guidance. Once the turn was complete, it went back to 2D. Those were also really good at...

I have this on my R1T. The BrainExploder plate mount was easy to install and not visible on any cameras. It also didn't mess with any sensors. Would absolutely buy it again or recommend it. https://www.brainexplodermerch.com/product-page/rivian-tow-hook-license-plate I also have two other...

I'll bet some of this has to do with batch production.

Mine's ~7250 or 7300 feet right now. < sea level to over 7200 feet. This much difference is pretty easy going from the Bay Area to Tahoe.

My "Confirm your address" email had the wrong address. When I clicked the link, the Rivian website showed the right address. I emailed my guide and he confirmed it would ship to the right address. Sure enough, it shipped to my old address thousands of miles away. I contacted my guide again...

I'm still waiting. Already told my guide that if I can order the powered cover before my manual one ships, I'm cancelling it. I'd love to cancel now, but I'm not convinced the power retrofit is real and I'd like to have a cover for ski season.

What's amazing is that there are Rivians everywhere in the Bay Area, a big Rivian office in Palo Alto, and even here the navigation is terrible. Traffic is always wrong. It's also normally displays 2x the time required for any local trips. I have a dash mount for my iPhone just so I can run a...

With Halloween mode officially a hit, I think it's time for other holiday specific modes or even limited time easter egg modes. For example: Christmas Mode. Lock unlock = sleigh bells Big truck = Santas sleigh + reindeer Pedestrians = elves Bicyclists = reindeer or abominable snowmen Lighting...

I just picked up a set of 22 brights to use for winter tires yesterday from Rivian South SF. If I was going with 275/65R20 Nokian LT3, I would have gone 20" OEM. For the Nokian R5 or Michelin X-Ice, the 275/50R22 seems to be a better fit than the available 275/60R20s. (higher weight loads...

Looks like an easy fit for a SI BM11 if you used a fiberglass enclosure. Wood might be possible too. https://stereointegrity.com/product/bm-11/ What I would love to see: A pair of SI BM 11 + a JL Audio VX1000/1i in the entire underseat space. I've used the VXi series previously and they're...

the Nokia LT3 match the OEM 20” diameter. They’re larger than the OEM 22” diameter. You can check the tire specs to confirm or go to a tire calculator on the web to see the exact impact.

That’s what their website says and they’re the OEM so they should know. They also offered other sensors that do require programming, so be careful not to buy those. I’ll find out in a couple of months once I install my winter wheels/tires. The earliest SC appointment to install my spare was late...
