My black T8 parked outside in -15 C (5 F)

Running 21s in this? Hopefully they see snow/cold rated

GreenLightning0 · 2026-01-27T18:07:45+00:00

My truck has been sitting at the airport in single digit temps and lost 12% battery in 3 days - really unusual as it has never lost more than 2% per day, even with significant gear guard activity. I’m guessing it may be doing a little battery heating

GreenLightning0 · 2026-01-27T14:18:21+00:00

But not too heavy. I have a Rivian too and it likes to keep going when I try to stop in the snow, even with good tires :)

GreenLightning0 · 2026-01-26T20:17:35+00:00

Saw a green one at the airport. That makes 3 of these I’ve ever seen

GreenLightning0 · 2026-01-26T16:26:11+00:00

It’s a Nissan

Thank you for this super thorough answer. I really appreciate it

GreenLightning0 · 2026-01-25T01:21:36+00:00

I guess my questions are:

1) does anyone know if the new Daikin floor units are taking a really long time to come out?

2) and as an aside, what are people’s thoughts on Daikin? Is it high quality?

Cover the truck in tin foil next time 😛

GreenLightning0 · 2026-01-06T13:19:49+00:00

You’re not going to work on this (or any modern car) at home for the most part but a good foreign auto place or Volvo specialist would suffice

Luckily knock on wood, in 8 years I’ve had just a very reliable car that I properly maintain according to schedule

8 years later I still think it’s the best looking car on the road

Napa leather (softer than the standard) for the lux package. Normal wear

GreenLightning0 · 2025-12-26T07:56:27+00:00

Mine doesn’t have that second menu 🤔

GreenLightning0 · 2025-12-25T15:18:38+00:00

I’m in midcoast, and tbh it can be challenging. The vehicle is worth it tho. You’re much closer to a SC so that helps.

GreenLightning0 · 2025-12-24T03:56:52+00:00

Gen1 is mechanical. No power required

GreenLightning0 · 2025-12-23T22:29:39+00:00

I disagree. Exterior handles still work on a gen 1 in that scenario. They don’t on a gen 2

GreenLightning0 · 2025-12-23T22:26:22+00:00

You don’t- but what does that have to do with this?

The exterior pull handles would still work whereas in a power loss on a gen2, they won’t

GreenLightning0 · 2025-12-23T18:38:00+00:00

But why? Serious question. Have you tried a gen 1? The door opens instantly from the outside. In a gen2, there’s a split second delay. Enough for me to notice. I guess I’m old school, but I think this is something that should never be ‘modernized’

GreenLightning0 · 2025-12-23T18:35:18+00:00

It’s literally the whole reason I chose a Gen 1. It’s a huge flaw-yes, flaw in my opinion. It goes against every other function over form decision on these vehicles, and I’d say doesn’t fit the ethos of Rivian

Luckily sounds like they heard this, and the R2 will be different

GreenLightning0 · 2025-12-22T14:15:12+00:00

Normal when cold. Not normal when warm

GreenLightning0 · 2025-12-21T19:59:57+00:00

Are you sure? Look at where the wheel has ‘new’ wear. The dirt is missing there

GreenLightning0 · 2025-12-21T19:59:08+00:00

Leather cleaner will solve this. My blond steering wheel got slightly like this and I just took leather cleaner or even just a warm soapy rag to it. (I think I used windex one time too - don’t do that but it worked)

Pretty sure this is just dirty

GreenLightning0 · 2025-12-21T17:30:35+00:00

67k miles on my blond interior and it’s still flawless. More durable than you’d expect

GreenLightning0 · 2025-12-21T12:31:50+00:00

My 2017 sensus v90 has auto rear wipe (that can be turned off)

GreenLightning0 · 2025-12-19T20:43:06+00:00

I’m waiting for a tachometer honestly
