This is certainly uncharted territory and I know we can't answer this with confidence, but I did do some searching, and from what I can tell, you're likely to encounter the following: 1- The good news is: I believe BMS will 'take whatever it can get' insofar as DC derates when thermal or...

I think that your assertion that this is likely software is likely based in hope and not reality. Sorry to say, but it's sounding like it's a hardware problem and you're going to need to have your BMS/ onboard charging system serviced. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I'm here to point out that at...

Oh, well hell. I guess Rivian got it wrong and should've collaborated with you for their R2 Marketing and STEM push! RJ, yes, this guy right here!! ...

Ok, so let me get this straight. He did one thing that you fundamentally disagree with, so his character in totality is completely dismissive and outright regarded as outcast to you? Sorry, I must have missed it: what exactly have you done to improve the interest, exposure, and build excitement...

For real, has everyone seen this? We need more of this. He's a national treasure.

If you think that's frustrating, I deal with the same thing when using 'rear accessory.' I'm not even towing anything, and still have to deal with it! That's really silly--I theorize this should be relatively straightforward to dismiss in software, but I'll even get all of the adjacent notices...

These things are going to take relative wear and tear based on your driving habits, environments and exposures, and how well you maintain your windscreen + protection. In my experience, I got almost 2.5 years out of my first windscreen film (not the TWraps version, to be clear). I have had...

Have you tried asking your Rivian Assistant?? :D

This design seems VERY suboptimal for tire changes in any non-idealized environment. IE: roadside tire changes, or even more concerning: off-road tire swaps. If there's no positive engagement, and you're on any kind of slope or loose terrain, the odds of something going sideways, LITERALLY, are...

I hate this distinction. Highways are engineered to handle semi trucks, which are typically hauling 55,000 lbs-m or more. And while, yes, they're subjected to around $550/year to account for their advanced wear, most EVs are falling closer to 5,000 lbs-m (Tesla M3, MY, R2, for example). So...

I've never taken Adderall, but thanks for that. You're right, my input was unsolicited. I'll be on my way :) Hopefully you get the feedback you're looking for!

I'm happy to take some flak for this, and it's totally my opinion. I've done TONS of things in my lifetime. Most recently taken up whitewater kayaking. And I do it with Coaches. My favorite thing on the planet (sarcasm and crass) is when people tell me about their experience in the absence...

My short anecdote: when I talked to my (at the time) insurance (Liberty Mutual), they said 'off-road' isn't covered and they recommended I find something similar to a 'track day' insurance for those types of events. Effectively, roads in which the normal 'road laws' do not apply. IE: are you...

Always good advice to shop around, but be advised that your experience is not universal. Rivian's insurance cut my rate in half and beat the pants off of nearly every other option I explored. So, this is very much a YMMV, and seemingly so wherever I have witnessed these same comments. You'll...

This is likely unhelpful, but just perspective. 1- I had the same conversation with and felt good about Nationwide's supporting our offroad endeavors, as this was a consideration of mine as well. 2- these vehicles are extremely capable and the risk offroad is directly proprotional to 3- your...
