Are you talking about the range on the dashboard battery indicator, the range at arrival using nav, or both? I've always found the former to be best case scanerio and the latter to be very accurate, and clearly taking consideration terrain, etc. Nevermind, you answered this but I missed it...

It looks very much Material Design inspired to me.

We've had great experiences road tripping up and down between Seattle and San Francisco as well as going across Washington and up into rural British Columbia. The charging in rural BC (west side of the Rockies) was slow, but we knew what we were getting into and the 50kW chargers they deployed...

I did a couple test navigations and the Rivian app routes to Tesla chargers that don’t appear in general search. So I think the network is likely more effective than might initial appear. ?

I hope that is the issue. There are some super high value Tesla Super Chargers in Washington that would be a game changer that currently appear not available.

I think in terms of area coverage more so then in terms of number of plugs. I'm a Tesla owner as well and I'm pretty familiar with the available chargers for me between San Francisco and Seattle and in the PacNW in general, for example. Very few of them show up in the map as usable w/ adapter...

I can see your perspective. Building these adapters should be simple in comparison to building cars so hopefully the timeline for everyone to get one is relatively tight. I worry overall about expectation setting with this program because it is currently a small number of Super Chargers that...

They should prioritize by pre-order date as to not double penalize those of us that waited extra long for a vehicle eh?:)

The GPS not working isn't normal behavior. The in-car data stuff cannot use your phone for data either, so if it works it means cellular is working.

It didn't happen to me, but it has happened. At least one R1T got involved in an accident in the Seattle area pre-delivery (when it was on a flatbed in transit). This does happen to all automakers but it's hard to know if it is a big problem without having the data for how often.

I get extended warranty calls for cars I haven't owned in 5-10 years... my bet is the DMV because I haven't even had loans on some of them.

I'm heading to the mountains this week and I should have some opportunities to try out our R1S w/ 22's in the snow a bit. I have two sets of Autosocks just in case...

I've been 1-pedal driving in Seattle (95% of it not on the highway either, since I live and work in town) since 2015, and I will say... you eventually get used to it... I used to have this experience with my i3 where going down hills with the battery full caught me off-guard because it turned...

Lowering the air suspension in park is what kneel mode does. I can measure it later, but if you don’t use kneel it’ll be drive mode dependent so there are multiple answers. My wife is 5’3” and has no complaints. My 4 and 6 year old do have a harder time than getting in our other cars but they...

Both my 12v batteries read as low health and needed replacement. Rivian did it and they did it fast. It never interrupted our driving experience but it did prevent the OTA from applying.
