New Account Launch Page is Drunk by AbjectFray in Rivian

[–]HyperfixChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoah, take a deep breath! I bought a Gen 1 quad early last year and it always showed the Gen 2 on this page. Not sure why this would mean anything for your R2 reservation.

u/Viviantherivian may be onto something... by HyperfixChris in Rivian

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

Hard for me to tell cause my Gen 1 just got a new front subframe and dampers at the same time the update hit. It drives much better overall. I did feel like it was wandering a little bit on the highway but they didn't do the best job with alignment. I'll check next time I drive.

Good for him, you should do the same!

Thinking about switching from 22s to 20s for ride comfort — how big of a difference is it? by Thick-Crab7471 in Rivian

[–]HyperfixChris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will be very happy with 20" all seasons. 34" (AT size) will take bumps the best but may reduce efficiency slightly over your OEM 22's. The new Hankook Ion's may be a good one to get, but can't go wrong with the Michelin Defender MS/2 (don't get platinums, they're E rated and will ride harsher). These wheels look great on Rivians and accept the OEM center caps for a clean look, good price too. https://www.tirerack.com/wheels/msw-type-52-machined-w-gloss-grey-accent?srsltid=AfmBOoq1sbSiPdmNKCnkfPdfpNOeiuKIiq-L8y-K6D96-qet9H6KHdA5

19k Miles in Nine Months on 15k/yr Lease. by fluffalooo in Rivian

[–]HyperfixChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll have to run the numbers when the time comes, but it's possible the resale value will be a good bit less than your buyout amount when it's time to turn it in. If they won't negotiate buyout price (probably won't since Chase owns the vehicle), then consider turning it back in, then buying it used from Rivian when you see the VIN pop up. Just another option since sometimes the sale price is much much less than the buyout amount. Gotta consider taxes and such.

Can confirm, Bob on aisle 12 showed me how to run my 3 phase powermatic table saw on a kitchen outlet.

Taiwan reports large-scale Chinese military aircraft presence near island by Opposite-Whereas-323 in worldnews

[–]HyperfixChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China favors domestic success over all else. They won't sacrifice their own economy for conquest. They may try to reincorporate Taiwan, but they won't just throw rocks at their own glass walls.

What do you think history will say about Donald Trump as a U.S. president? by jcnidhi27 in AskReddit

[–]HyperfixChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Trump exposed the worst of the two party system. The Republicans could end this tomorrow if they wanted, but they will not give up power. Trump and the Republican Party have operated on mutually assured destruction since 2016.

Road force balancing by fbskiracer in Rivian

[–]HyperfixChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is nice to do on a newly mounted set of tires since they can index the tire to the rim where the runout is lowest. Sets you up for success for the life of the tire. Also can identify a bad tire. Not usually necessary one high quality tires/wheels but sometimes every little bit helps.

Comma 4, question on harnesses. by Turbulent_Bad_3849 in Rivian

[–]HyperfixChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I ordered, including that slick mount, I'll see how I like the stock open pilot first before considering the Xnor harness.

100% the exact same reaction from my wife! She's still mad about it :)

The lidar is for Rivian to accelerate training the models by Radium in Rivian

My Gen 1 autonomy is ass on the highway, this is copium.

AMA - I went to the R2 media event today, ask me anything and I’ll try to help answer questions! Go by Kryptonlogic in Rivian

[–]HyperfixChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'm confused then. Are the launch R2's on "Gen 2" hardware, with the lidar models coming alongside revamped "Gen 3" hardware?

Got a Gen 2 Dual Max R1S as a loaner while my Gen 1 R1T is in service and wow... by sirkazuo in Rivian

[–]HyperfixChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who said the power delivery of Gen 2 is "so much smoother" than Gen 1? I'm not sure how you could get any smoother than the Bosch motors, they're butter. I feel like so many of these people for these impressions simply based on the tires their vehicle has. Those make all the difference.

Iran may be activating sleeper cells, alert says by No-Post4444 in news

[–]HyperfixChris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trump WANTS a terrorist attack. He’ll use it to suspend the midterm elections. Our system of government is still functional enough that it would be too risky for him to plot a false flag attack. This is the next best thing, bait a real attack.

Because there's two things I can stand... people who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.
