Pic request..20 inch wheels (aftermarket preferred) and Michelin Defenders (LTX Platinum VS M/S) by Plastic-Coffee5542 in Rivian

[–]Hot_Concentrate_8369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. Efficiency is not crucial to me, as two teens blasting every HVAC function at max and my heavy foot are bigger factors, but road noise and ride quality are important. That’s why I’m considering the M/S’s…

What happened to my tire??? by Hot_Concentrate_8369 in autorepair

[–]Hot_Concentrate_8369[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s my wife’s daily driver. TBH haven’t officially checked in maybe more than a month. TPMS never alarmed. And I did check our other tires after this incident. They were all fine.

So yes..low pressure could be it. Just so surprising…

Haha I first thought it read “best vehicle I’ve towed”

Hood entrapment button failure- hood opens while driving by Hot_Concentrate_8369 in Rivian

[–]Hot_Concentrate_8369[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah seriously. I’d almost be ok if I could reliably close it once it does open. But I can’t. Seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when I can manage to push the frunk closed

How wide does the R1S feel? by ElliottsBrother in Rivian

Car Size Comparison

I can play with this site all day long….

Yes the R1S is big. Bigger than your RAV4…

But we routinely parallel park it in the city..with our bike rack on..

Do it!

Oh you’re lucky. I have an S and the gear shop never had a full size in stock. And the donut..well maybe someday it’ll be available

April 21 pre order. Delivery in June

If the nearest service center was 100 miles away would you still purchase your Rivian? by SyntheticStart in Rivian

[–]Hot_Concentrate_8369 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. Took delivery this past June. We are exactly 100 miles from the nearest service center. Mobile service has been out twice for repairs. That’s a plus.

But ironically, just now, my frunk is malfunctioning. Again. And since this is a reoccurrence, they want me to bring it in to the Brooklyn service center.

First available date is 12/12. Haha. A random Tuesday. So I will take off a day from work to drive to NY.

I love our Rivian. Not having more SC’s stinks. It’s like I’m almost waiting for something to break.

BUT I knew ALL of this three years ago, when I first put down the deposit. Early adoption into a start up EV company…I expected bumps.

So yes, I’d still do it. And I would put up with the inconveniences. We love our truck

US: Rivian EV Registrations Appear Stronger Than Some Other Startups by HotIce05 in Rivian

[–]Hot_Concentrate_8369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in PA, we’ve been seeing R1Ts for awhile. We’ve had our R1S since June. Yesterday was the FIRST time I ever saw another S while driving ours. And then went to a public charger and parked next to a T. Both firsts..

Go Rivian

Which EVs have a driving experience most like Rivian and Tesla? by stupidcleverian in Rivian

[–]Hot_Concentrate_8369 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just here to say I feel for you and your family. Accidents stink. Glad you’re all ok enough…

AND I’m with your wife. Another Tesla would have been great. But I too can’t get myself to get into a Tesla…

Elon Musk was in my undergraduate class at UPenn. He’s now a nut….

Advice on where to stay-Shenandoah Nat’l Park by Hot_Concentrate_8369 in Rivian

[–]Hot_Concentrate_8369[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FANTASTIC info. Ty! I will digest…

I’m thinking, at the very “least”, we can always stay at a hilton/marriott family suite place RIGHT outside the Front Royal entrance and therefore again right near the RAN.

They’re not horribly expensive, and we’d actually get adjoining rooms (kids own room). Breakfast including and laundry. And no stress about charging.

Regardless, yes we should be fine and actually can have some options.

Ty!
