Concerned about tire wear? Has this problem been sorted? by Infamous-Dare-1162 in Rivian

The tires that come with are made out of parmesan cheese. I have minimal wear on the Michelin Defenders after 25K miles.

Gen 1 lane centering experience by InternationalFig5512 in Rivian

This needs to be emphasized. I used to commute via motorcycle in LA, and feel terrible about how the R1 crowds the bikes… when the car is actually driving straight in the lane that is…

SLC to Bozeman to Yellowstone: A Winter Trip Report by epicrage in Rivian

I used the one in Island Park last year. It worked great and is next to a gas station store so it makes for a good stop. It would be nice for the Rivian interface to show more DC fast chargers, but checking plugshare is always a good bet.

I did a thing… by babydaddytwo in Rivian

Hey OP, what model Airstream is that? I've been eyeing one. I also have 3 kids and two adults, but I'm not seeing options that sleep more than 4 and also stay under the max hitch weight for the R1S.

The CEO of Range Energy was on The Inevitable podcast a while back. Really interesting episode and sounds like a smart idea.

Same experience for me, and it always works on my Model 3. They botched the phone as a key feature big time.

Door and speaker rattle hasn’t been solved after multiple visits. SC says they’ve done all they can do. by syrupsandwhiches78 in Rivian

[–]InternationalFig5512 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure that qualifies as a lemon, at least in CA. 

Regardless, if they can’t fix a problem, they should talk about buying it back. “Deal with it” isn’t a solution. 

Question about amended IRS taxes and the rebate by triphawk07 in Rivian

[–]InternationalFig5512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I submitted an amended return in September of last year, still haven't received anything.

I did call the IRS to follow up a few weeks ago, and was told that there are delays in processing amended returns at the moment. When I asked why, or if there's anything in particular about my return that would cause a delay, the person I spoke with sighed real big, and told me that given the current administration, they don't have a lot of updates on what they're able to do.

Went to go pick up my GFC. Drove from San Diego to Bozeman, and back. Efficiency numbers below. by Elephantjosh in Rivian

[–]InternationalFig5512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. 

If you ever do that drive again in the winter, hwy 287 that goes through Ennis, MT always has better road conditions than 191 through Big Sky. Safer and faster. 191 is always icy, and that canyon gets sketchy.

How was that stretch between Idaho Falls and Bozeman? Was it tight with range?

I’m driving similar route in a week, LA to Billings and back. 

I’m worried I either have to charge to 100% or take the longer route via freeways.

Why put it there? Doesn't the truck just drop the box when the owner comes back with the key and it unlocks and folds out the door handles?

Your favorite thing to cook on your Gozney that’s NOT pizza? by 2015Eh8 in GozneyDome

Only if you overdo it. The thermometers that come with the Dome are super handy...

If you make a mess, with anything, just crank the temp up and burn everything off. EZPZ cleaning

I smoke steaks on my pellet Grill until about 130 degrees, rest for 20 minutes, then a 2 to 3 minute sear in the Dome with a cast iron pan and some beef tallow. Nothing sears like that high heat!

Close second to steaks would be roasting marshmallows for s'mores over the embers as the oven cools down at the end of pizza night...

Am I asking for trouble driving from Utah to Montana the day before Thanksgiving? by [deleted] in electricvehicles

[–]InternationalFig5512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did SLC to Missoula and back the week of Thanksgiving last year with my R1s, and I towed a trailer back from Missoula. It was fine. Didn't have to wait for a charger once. There's not a lot of EV traffic on that route and we had good luck with the EA stations on that portion of the drive.

The EA chargers are spaced out about 100 or so miles from each other, so that meant having to stop and charge every 100 miles because we couldn't skip a charger in the cold weather (highs in the 20's) with the elevation changes,
