The R2 production ramp will be Rivian's "Tesla Model 3 Production Hell" moment. It will make or break them. Right now they are burning through cash they don't have to begin with. I work for a competitor and I'm rooting for them. Competition is good. The R3X looks like a blast to drive. Now to...
If you have basic tools and knowledge you can do it yourself in about 1 beers time or less.

I'm helping ZFG do beta testing for Raptor tuning and did it myself without issue.
TBD as far as I know. He may have an option for used vs new ECU’s. The Tuning itself for the beta testers is free. If I had to guess, I’d say 800ish for the ECU and another 5-6 for tuning? This will be for people who are chasing power for sure. The 2.7 is going to make more power easier due to...
You may need an upgraded HPFP or bigger low side injectors for full E85, but we'll find out soon enough once the beta testers start getting data. ZFG told me the stock fuel system on the Raptor will only support E50 since it's only direct injected and an HPFP is for sure needed for full E85.
Here's a 2.7 making good gains with just an intake that is of similar design. Given the similarities with the 2.7 and 3.0 I would be surprised if there wasn't any gains. I've been in the performance world for 15 years now and have seen intakes make power time and time again on turbo'd vehicles...
The intake looks much more aesthetic pleasing to me than the factory one. I'd buy it again for that alone. $350 hurts the wallet much less than several thousand dollars in parts to look cool in the starbucks drive thru
Plenty of people here add a lift and 37's or bigger with no intention of off-roading. Same with Lights, bumpers, etc. Who cares? People will spend money on things they want to spend it on.
Falken Wildpeak R/T01's here. Wanted something with a tough aggressive sidewall with a hybrid tread pattern. They have been awesome so far. I've never been impressed with KO2's so I knew I wanted to get rid of them asap.
