Double glove boxes in action!

Disappointing. While I've been a big fan of Rivian overall, it's little details like this lift point that drives me nuts. This is a company that tries to distinguish itself to be sustainable, focused on customer experiences, and seamlessly orchestrating "millions of decisions" for a single...

Yup, I switched back to Alexa as well. I don't have any of the other music streaming services since the Amazon Music that comes with my Amazon Prime did a good enough job for me. It's unfortunate the Rivian infotainment tied Alexa and Amazon Music so tightly. I'm hoping a future update would...

Fresh, but short, video of RJ talking about Mind Robotics: Looks like RJ has ambitions to have Mind Robotics manufacture everything. He mentions appliances a few times, and even shoes. I thought I saw somewhere RJ being a sneakerhead, maybe we'll see a shoe line in the future soon.

Looks like you can! Saw this review It's not the exact same model, but within the same series. There's a physical toggle between "Fast" and "Adjust" for AC charging. The charge rate can be set up in the app any where in-between 200W and 1800W. This might be the unit I get, outputting up to...

Wanted to revisit this thread to see if anyone has used one of the newer EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra Plus power station. They advertise what they call "X-Fusion 3.0" technology but according to their FAQ and manual it apparently overrides the AC input and will deliver the full 3600W power. This is the...

Looking to educate myself, but what happened to Automatic Emergency Braking? Wouldn't a Tesla have that standard?

This is the most interesting part of the interview to me. Seems to imply that Rivian doesn't have much choice, if they want to have state-of-the-art LIDAR systems it's not going to find it in the US. The supply chain, the skill set, the cost structure, etc... all doesn't exist here. Kind of...

Was this the one you were thinking about?

Quick shortcut to those who want to see the map: https://rivian.com/experience/charging#map. Texas is really sparse, but fortunately we have Buc-ees with plenty of Telsa Superchargers. Nothing at Big Bend National Park or Guadalupe Mountains National Park, not even "coming soon" indicators...

Throwback to "Shaq Fits." on R1 from 7 years ago!

Sad, guess I can't fit a whole 16" pizza there, and will end up having to bring odors in the cabin.

https://freakonomics.com/podcast/are-human-drivers-finally-obsolete/ https://freakonomics.com/podcast/in-a-driverless-world-who-loses-and-who-wins/ Not directly Rivian related, but thought it would be worth sharing. The podcast goes over the long history of autonomous driving and the people...

Recently came upon this fantastic article in Wired - https://www.wired.com/story/the-righteous-ev-owners-who-wont-let-their-broken-cars-die/ For those who don't have the means to read it, it goes over the birth of the Fisker Owner's Association (https://fiskeroa.com) and the concept of a...

EDIT: Move Catalina Cove into S-Tier after seeing it announced Without actually having seen these colors applied in person, here's my personal speculative color tier list: S-Tier Borealis Catalina Cove A-Tier Forest Green Launch Green .... F-Tier Half Moon Grey Glacier White Midnight Esker...
