You’re missing out then. Baja mode, traction control min, slide the bias to the rear = donut mode unlocked. Just don’t blame me for what happens to your tires

Did you warranty or replace your wiper blade? I had the screen go out on me in a major storm and the wiper was starting to crap out and I swing by a SC and they threw on a new wiper. I ended up getting a buy back on my vehicle after 53k miles but the wiper was never really an issue after I got...

That may not be true. My Porsche dealer gave me an offer on my AWD before I even took delivery in 2024. Shop it around and keep the miles low.

If you mount your phone on a screen mount and sit low enough to have it at eye level you will get no nagging on v13. If you sit too high relative to the phone it will nag you a lot. I can use my phone and it doesn’t see it at all. I’ve watched an entire movie while driving on the highway. v14...

A much smarter design would have it recessed into the roofline of your rack instead of sticking up into the wind.

I just had likely rear inverter failure but not after a DCFC charge. In my case there was a very notable shudder from the back like I had been rear ended. I had been driving for over an hour without issues prior to that and subsequently drove on another 180 miles front motor only and...

I don’t think you need that. It’s complicating a feature that already exists. In just the same way that every key on a keyboard doesn’t need “gems” you just feel for the “F” and “J” to center your hands, you feel for the line that separates the buttons. Essentially there are 3 buttons if you...

The tree is still there. Drove by it the next day. UT Hwy 6 Spanish fork canyon

Is that real CF on the steering wheel or is it plastic?

Low pressure is for traction by increasing contact surface area through tire deformation. You won’t improve compliance that much by lowering pressure and you lose ride height. I can tell you that the Duratrac RT (aka winter package) tire has better compliance maybe because the sidewalls are less...

You’re not actually driving around the whole time with your front diff locked right? That should be even more selectively engaged in slippery conditions than the rear or you will damage steering components. Usually if you need to turn your front locker should be off. FYI your covers will stay...

This is yet another tow hook mounted “bumper” likely to cause massive amounts of damage to your vehicle should you suffer an impact thus defeating the purpose of such bumper. Obviously not impact tested for anything.

In relative terms this isn’t really that fast. There seems to be some thermal limit they’re hitting either in the pack or the charging unit. I can usually get around 80 kWh in 30 min in the charge curve sweet spot with 400 V charging a Rivian so these V4 numbers are not even close to what 800 V...

They don’t want it to overheat and blow up

So here’s what’s weird: after I noticed that the screen seemed to lose/gain power after going over bumps and would sometimes come back after being parked I stopped putting my phone on a MagSafe mount that sits on the top left of the screen and the screen seemed ok again. After adjusting the...
