  1. Apple, Google, GM and the $1.5 Trillion Battle for the Car Dashboard - WSJ Video

    "I'm sorry Dark, I can't do that. Perhaps you'd like me to take you to Starbucks where you can enjoy their newest drink...." :CWL: :CWL:
  2. Apple, Google, GM and the $1.5 Trillion Battle for the Car Dashboard - WSJ Video

    I got 90 seconds into it and I already screamed STOP.... did you not hear what they said people. 25billion through SELLING stuff to you. Pretty soon your car is going to be full of ads and popups. Within 20 miles of a starbucks (and who isn't) - HEY BUY SOME COFFEE pops up. Or for...
  3. Electrify America's CEO-Elect Takes Coast-To-Coast Road Trip (Using EA Chargers)

    2700 miles - 30+ stations. That's 90 miles per station average. That's sad range honestly. and HOURS of pounding pizza and burgers.
  4. Top Speed Test: How Fast Is a Rivian R1T? [Motortrend]

    I'm sure there are reasons they don't, such as battery or inverter loads, heating issues, etc. But one we probably don't think about is tire rating. The tires aren't rated for that fast. And with the excessive wear and tear that the tires are already showing due to the weight, exceeding the...
  5. Top Speed Test: How Fast Is a Rivian R1T? [Motortrend]

    Quick and fast are not the same thing in my view. Quick = acceleration Fast = top speed
  6. R1S Dim Reverse Lights (Fixed?)

    The real fix - peoples situational awareness. Don't stand behind moving vehicles. For that matter, don't stand behind them unless they are yours. A $.07 plastic nipple that will end up covered in dirt and grime is NOT the fix.
  7. Ryan Shaw: "The Rivian R1S Full Review | A Tesla Owner's Perspective."

    IMO garbage video. Too long, talks about the same crap we've been hearing for 4 years. OMG like a flashlight in the door AMAZING!!! Seriously people, do better. For that matter stop wasting space on the internet.
  8. Official Rivian Outage Notification: “Phone as a key” is down

    Soooo wait. It's not really PAAK, its INTERNET as a key, because obviously the system has to talk to something or there wouldn't be an "outage". So does PAAK not work if you and the truck have no cell signal? (honest question).
  9. ABRP says go through Canada to avoid midwest/rockies states

    So I gave ABPR the basics (it's already setup with R1S for planning) - get me from Normal IL to Seattle WA. My idea was a factory delivery for my R1S. Is this thing serious? Is the charging across those states that bad that it is telling me to go to Canada? Thoughts on "a better route"...
  10. R1S delivered. Delighted and impressed overall.

    Great review and just my kind of adventure (it rains a lot in Seattle, and wind, and well, it sounds the same as it's been here for a few months). White definitely isn't my color (years ago I vowed never to own another white car) but it looks good either way. Funny you say it's huge, but...
  11. My First and Likely Last Post

    This I don't understand personally. R1T is a pickup, Tesla doesn't offer one (the cyber truck is not a pickup, its a childish monstrosity of a vehicle). The model Y "whyyyy" is claimed to be an SUV when in fact it's an Crossover. Again, I wouldn't compare it to a pickup, let alone the R1S...
  12. R1S - first test drive impression

    I'm going to automatically assume it's going to be quieter than my JGC so that's a win. Especially when you get on it. I'd assume though the First Mile drive, they don't really let you "get on it" and you are going to be hyper sensitive to any differences from what you expect. I expect I'll...
  13. 2024 Rivian R1X - Speculation & Rendering [Motortrend]

    I'll be honest - at first I thought this came with 3 giant USB-C ports on the front bumper :CWL: :CWL:
  14. ? COMPASS YELLOW R1S Photos

    I finally saw Red R1T and a Yellow R1T this week so I came looking for Yellow R1S. I found what I expected. It kinda screams to me school bus. Black and yellow, all it needs is flashing lights.... oh wait, light bar. Any idea what percentage of R1T/S are yellow and what the target...
