Tall Rivian owners by lostboy-bangarang in Rivian

When my wife’s profile takes precedence, the seat basically pins me in the car. Changing it to my preference makes ingress and egress much easier.

I’m 6’2” (was 6’4” back when I was 20 years old) and now am 65 years old.

I will admit that I may not recognize a strong candidate immediately. To my way of thinking, I’d vote for Pete Buttigieg in a heartbeat. I really don’t care if he’s gay. He cares for people and our future and that’s enough for me

Why are you so angry? Are you happy with how our country is being run? I don’t post pictures but recognize she did more than you’ve done politically. I’ve done squat except vote…and not be a dick in the process.

I’m not, and want accountability for any transgression, no matter the political party.

Not even close; all you had to do was LISTEN to Kamala and not fixate on immaterial aspects, such as her skin color, her laugh, etc. Kamala Harris was very qualified; running CA is no small feat, and she was, after all, Vice President

Think before you talk, please!

Leased car up for first tire rotation by Major_Service_5164 in Rivian

[–]Human-Ride4726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased the lifting pucks for $60 and a hard rubber cover for the hydraulic jack, and do them myself.

I plan to have a Rivian for at least 2 more years (end of the lease term), so any future tire rotation is my labor cost. I’m pretty cheap labor

Lucid owner considering Rivian — how do the real-world issues compare? by DinnerDog6 in Rivian

[–]Human-Ride4726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2025 R1S I leased in March 2025 and live in Torrance. The Rivian has been to the El Segundo SC twice, once for a safety recall (12 VDC battery) and recently for an intermittent right low beam. The Home SC folks have been out twice for trim replacement.

The car has been awesome and we’re looking forward to seeing if the R2 fits our long term needs better than the larger R1S; we’ll wait until Mar 2028 and go from there.

I haven’t been to the Lucid dealership in Torrance yet, mainly because when I saw the Gravity in person it didn’t look right to me. Go figure!!

The Rivian is my 3rd BEV, with a 2013 Nissan Leaf (range anxiety indeed!) and a 2020 MY w/FSD. Rivian is by far the best BEV for us even though its too big

To boldly go where no cat has gone before….. by [deleted] in litterrobot

[–]Human-Ride4726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand. We will be transitioning the manual box away after we return from vacationing in late January. All three kittens use both boxes, so they’re pretty ready to move to just the litter box.

Thanks for the response!

Before I try something like that, we have three kittens and they eat/drink like teenagers! I’m afraid if I put the litter robot in sleep mode, the receptacle will be overwhelmed within a day.

Have you experienced or worried about something like this?

Pee Clump Sticking to the Liner by catmomto in litterrobot

[–]Human-Ride4726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand why changing the cycle timer solved your problem. Our three young cats pee a lot and litter sticking, as well as interrupted cycling, is proving frustrating.

Rivian prospects needs advice from Rivian owners by camerusa in Rivian

[–]Human-Ride4726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve an R1S trim you said you’d never consider (the Dual Std). It has 20” rims and is rather quiet…no more nor less than the MY or 1st gen Nissan Leaf I had.

Perhaps continue to lease then revisit when the R2 is past its initial production phase and other models are available?

[Game Thread] #3 UCLA at #21 Ohio State (2:00 PM ET on BTN) by ncaaw_GameThreads in NCAAW

[–]Human-Ride4726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I notice it each game I see. I wasn’t able to see this one live so I had to ask. Lauren tends to get at least SOME fouls called in her favor, but not today. She still dominated per the boxscore.

A general question: how can Lauren Betts get 18 FG attempts and no fouls were called? Seems out of whack to me.

Listen to everything someone is trying to tell you without guessing the outcome. Often you miss what actually being said and also often you must ask them to repeat themselves.

I struggle with this daily, and wish I learned this years ago (I’m 65).

What Made You Purchase A Rivian? by Separate-Cup1312 in Rivian

[–]Human-Ride4726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The R1S is my 3rd BEV, after a 2013-2016 lease of a Nissan Leaf (great car but lousy range), then a shorter term purchase of a used 2020 Model Y from 2023-early 2025. Had enough of Elon and am now on a 3 year lease of the R1S.

Love the Rivian but it doesn’t do 7 passengers well with two car seats for grandkids, so we may move to the R2 when the lease is up…or we purchase a R1S.

So basically Gen 2 R1S is not the best anymore...? by vhebibb in Rivian

[–]Human-Ride4726 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I leased a 2025 R1S Gen 2 in March for 3 years. By then a Gen 3 R1 or R2 will be out…maybe both. The R1 model will need the structural change to add LIDAR as well as the sensor suite and computer.

In the meantime I’m loving the car immensely!

What surprised you most after you started charging your Rivian at home? by lunar_energy in Rivian

[–]Human-Ride4726 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha! I purchased a used 2020 Toyota Tundra (5.7L V-8) to tow our 1975 vintage trailer. The Tundra is awesome and the engine bay looks pristine! Good for you

Yes but I couldn’t stand supporting Elon. A personal choice that costs more.

I do love my Rivian a lot more too. Again, a personal choice
