    Cybertrucks in the wild - quick comment

    I think the answer is simply because it's Elon & he's not known to stay w/ the status quo wrt any of the companies he's at the helm of. Beyond futuristic and extremely polarizing in its design, sharing materials with Starship and bullet proof panels. All completely unnecessary, but also not...

    Cybertrucks in the wild - quick comment

    Yep - it's a look very few people truly like. I'm the complete opposite, where I think it looks the worst from the front (head on), but the side and angled profile is increasingly growing on me. As I shared earlier, I think that person who said it's like a turd in a punch bowl when you see it...

    Cybertrucks in the wild - quick comment

    I wouldnā€™t expect anyone that hasnā€™t driven it yet to get it. No different than our ICE-loving SUV/Truck driving friends hating on the Rivian until or unless they actually experience one.

    Cybertrucks in the wild - quick comment

    Someone on a Rivian Facebook forum put it perfectly - the Cybertruck is like a turd in a punch bowl in commuter traffic. But..beyond the looks, in my 2.5 weeks of owning mine I like it more and more each day. Iā€™ve driven our R1S twice since then, and Iā€™m sorry to say but it quite literally...

    Is it possible the lines on the reverse camera aren’t aligned?

    You can see how far off the guide line on the right of the main window is relative to the top down actual view on the far rightā€¦this is why Iā€™ve sucked so bad at parking. I almost did the happy dance today because I was the most centered Iā€™ve ever been thanks to now getting used to this view...

    Is it possible the lines on the reverse camera aren’t aligned?

    OIC. Wasnā€™t aware of that mode but will give it a shot tomorrow! Thx for the advice and suggestion.

    Is it possible the lines on the reverse camera aren’t aligned?

    Every now and again Iā€™ll go into my profile and manually adjust them down, but would prefer it did so automatically (if offered as an option in settings) when I put it in reverse.

    Is it possible the lines on the reverse camera aren’t aligned?

    Iā€™ve never parked so poorly in my life when backing into a space as I do in the R1S. The picture always shows me over one line or the other, but they arenā€™t accurate/reflective of my actual location in the spot (seems to be off by an inch or two). If only we had side mirrors that tilt down in...

    Running Board - Stripped Bolt - what to do?

    Great suggestion. Also have a service center nearby, so Iā€™ll swing by and see whether theyā€™ll sell me one.

    Running Board - Stripped Bolt - what to do?

    There wasnā€™t. I forced it out and this is what it looked like. Good news is it went back in and itā€™s similarly loose as before. The TP55 is nice and tight so hoping it all works out ok.

    Running Board - Stripped Bolt - what to do?

    As I was uninstalling one of the bolts to install my running boards it simply kept on twisting (was going lefty loosely the whole time). In order to get it to bite I put some angled pressure on it, but now itā€™s coming out crooked. Any thoughts/suggestions. Assuming Iā€™ll strip the heck out of it...

    My first AT tire - any reason this can’t be plugged?

    Thx, all. I was driving when I posted, but should have indicated I meant the inside-out plug. Have had it done multiple times on normal tires, but these are my first ATs so didnā€™t know whether it might be different. The car did give me the low pressure warning, and considering all the others...

    Weird Frunk Lid Behavior

    FWIW I had this issue today when picking up my R1S from the service center. In my case they had just replaced a communication module, and they presumably accessed it from the frunk area where an ICE car would have its firewall. There are two plastic tabs up there (by the frunk hinge) that...

    F150 Lightning gets nearly $10K in price cuts

    Inflation and supply chain constraints giveth high prices, and high rates taketh them away. I think it's that simple for the vast majority of cars & car companies.

    The Ford F-150 Lightning Is the 2023 MotorTrend Truck of the Year

    Not surprising at all! It was an amazing road trip and family hauler vehicle for us. Loved taking it to the beach with our two inflatable SUPs and all the other stuff. Tons of space, super comfortable, easy to drive. Only thing it was missing was a third row, which I realize isnā€™t a truck thingā€¦

    The Ford F-150 Lightning Is the 2023 MotorTrend Truck of the Year

    Having owned both a Lightning and now R1S, the Lightning does indeed deserve more credit than most Rivian owners care to give it. While we no longer own it, my 5ā€™0ā€ wife prefers it over the Rivian despite its large size. For her the seating position can be better (especially with the adjustable...

    Took Delivery Today and Loving It

    I really donā€™t want this to get political. Plenty of people not fans of EVs (or Bud Light) that arenā€™t transphobic, but still may take some artistic liberties with current events. On a broader level, Iā€™d rather be there to engage in conversations with people on all sides, respecting they have...
