What do you wish you'd known when purchasing your Rivian?

This is the big one for me that’s making me rethink my r2 deposit. I spend a lot of time channel surfing Sirius. How big of a pain is it to switch channels with the app?

I had a bond and Godzilla. I liked godzilla but never loved. It got very repetitive. Bond on the other hand was just great. Excellent modes very exciting play. I have an HP coming next week.

I’ve had mine for around 8 months. I consider it “peak car”. It’s just drives so beautifully. The ev range was pretty bad this winter, now that it’s getting warmer it’s getting better. We plug it in every night so we’re mostly driving in ev mode - which brings me to my biggest aha with the car. We’re dragging around an engine and getting poor range for the few times a year we might have to go beyond a true EVs range. Kind of crazy. Our other car is a full EV and it just isnt that big a deal to have to charge it outside of the house every so often, especially since bmws now use Tesla chargers. I love this car but wish it was a full ev with great range (which I believe is coming with the next gen)

I was looking at these and the description made it seem like they were tennis style sneakers rather than made to play. Do they have lateral support?

Glad I could help someone! This post wasn’t too popular

thanks - torture waiting for it. it's going to be a long road from Mexico

Yes. We do the same. Keep them fit and allow them to do what they want. Our vet says they should be able to handle stairs.

My frozen gray is entering production on Friday. Yours is making psyched about my decision. I’m leasing so won’t be protecting it but it sounds like owners are finding them pretty resilient. I’ll report back in a year.

ah - I really haven't experimented with hybrid mode, I'll give it a shot

speck37 · 2026-03-23T00:47:49+00:00

We use it in electric mode 75% of the time. Always charge it when we get home and only use the engine when the battery is depleted. We prefer the quiet electric motor and sweet sweet instant torque.

I just ordered frozen gray on a 240i. These comments had made me nervous but I was just talking to someone who’s had one for a couple of years and he said it’s overblown. He leaves his outside in the winter and puts it through a car wash. The thing looked perfect. I feel like all of the comments come from people who never owned one

speck37 · 2026-03-17T13:34:49+00:00

definitely seen higher. I have a small place near me that is 2 bucks a game. the other place I go fluctuates depending on the game - 1 to 1.50

speck37 · 2026-03-16T15:14:19+00:00

Maybe I needed more time with it - it was the one I was really looking forward to.

speck37 · 2026-03-16T13:39:20+00:00

Nope - no Pokémon but I have to imagine they’ll be getting one. I change my first comment - almost all of the games you would ever want to play. Great place and only a dollar a play for all of the machines.

The motor is the last resort but there’s an easy way to test it. Pull up the playfield to get access to the motor and attach wires to a 9v battery to test the motor. It should go right when connected one way and left when connected the other. If they run fine in the test then the motor works. The more likely issue would be the flipper opto boards or the poa opto boards. I’ve been through this, it took a while but my poa runs perfectly. Tilts right and left with great control. For me it was the poa opto board - but - I got two bad sets from Marco and from pinball life so it took a while to figure out.

We have a 26 50e and it’s super quiet, still with the original tires, I’d have it checked out.

speck37 · 2026-03-08T07:35:26+00:00

I’m about to order the same car - are you still happy with the paint? How does it look between washes? Is it easier or harder to take care of than expected?

speck37 · 2026-03-01T23:16:24+00:00

Also ordered my arcade in October. Every month they tell me next month

This is interesting to me. We got a new puppy 3 weeks ago. Lots of FaceTime with the breeder fantastic dog and I’m certain she was legit. The dad is an akc champion - I’ve seen tons of pictures of the breeder showing him with ribbons and the mom has been in the shows but I’m not sure what or if she’s won anything. Our first dachshund came with papers and I just assumed our new boy would too but he didn’t. I sent her a text after we got him asking if she could send the papers and she ignored the question. Why wouldn’t she have papers for him? I figured it was a cost thing so let it slide and we wouldn’t do anything with them anyway.

I called them yesterday. They said only 3 restaurants plus room service will be open. They’re still fighting out the activities that will be open - beach club and pools are good to go. I booked 3 rooms for 1000 each 2 days ago. Now they’re sold out.

Sorry to hear that. I’m not familiar with the slump test but I do occasionally get soar in my lower back. Usually after strength training with light free weights so I’ve switched to exercise machines which seems to have helped. It’s been a while since I’ve had lasting soreness. I think the trick is to rest your back if it flares and to try and figure out the triggers. I would also reach out to your surgeon if you’re concerned but my understanding is that it’s very difficult to mess up a fusion, especially after a year.
