No point linking to the article because it is behind a paywall, but I was happy to see the author's praise for Rivian as the first American mfg to implement adaptive headlights that comply with NHTSA regulations. Driving in America Is Headlight Hell Car bulbs don’t have to be this blinding. By...

I missed the reference. Can you give us a timestamp for Rivian comment?

Is the old contract on the internet archives? I don't have any stake in this so I'm too lazy to check

Nobody likes to be taxed and I agree this does sound excessive - I think it should be lower across the board or it should come in conjunction with higher gas taxes. In their defense EVs are heavier vehicles which put more wear and tear on roads. But unlike the gas tax, this one charges us...

I'm glad someone finally started this thread. The lack of a satellite antenna has been bugging me since I got my R1T in November. Sure, it's not the best sound quality but it offers a service that's very valuable to me. Sometimes I listen to Spotify when I want to choose my own music but...

I'd for it love to control passenger seat position. Lower it when my wife is getting into the car or pull it forward and tilt the back forward when I want to load something behind it. I hate leaning across the seat to reach those bittons. Sadly, I suspect those controls are locally isolated...

That sounds nice, but more than that, I'd like a driver's screen odometer.

More like good riddance Alexa. I hope Rivian assistant is half as good as they promise, it will still be orders of magnitude better than Alexa

When I clicked on the link for Palo Alto in the OPs message it took me to a page with links to RSVP for each of the three individual days. I just tried the link again and it is still accepting RSVPs for all days.

Thanks, I was only looking at the rsvp page. I didn't notice there was better information on the invitation.

I was excited to see that there was finally an R2 event in the Bay area (Palo Alto) but alas when I clicked on the link I realized it is actually in Denver : ( I don't understand why they're not doing one in their hometown.

“Once we secure the impacted area, we anticipate resuming operations in Building 2 (specifically for R2) this week,” spokesperson Marina Hoffmann said in an email, adding that operations at other facilities continue as planned...

Seems to me that is exactly the reason why we should include the full sized spare. If we ever need to use it then it should have comparable tread depth to the rest of the tires. I think I'll follow @babock 's advice and rotate them myself more often to ensure the tread depth doesn't get too...

Interesting that they specify "do not include the full-size spare in the rotation ". Does anyone have thoughts on why that would be?

I'll be interested to hear what the service center says. When I brought up the issue of squeaky door handles they said, "this is common on new vehicles and it will go away on its own.". They were partly right. It disappeared for a few weeks and then came back worse than ever. Thanks @shracks...
