  1. 2024 R1S more Oomph to close final door

    It’s also because the doors are very light. The car is so heavy, Rivian seemed to try and save weight on the doors, so they don’t have as much momentum when closing. That plus the air pressure effect can make closing the last door a chore, especially for guests who’ve never been in the vehicle...
  2. Silverado pricing -- ouch...

    InsideEVs got 460 miles of range out of the Silverado, whereas Rivians always fall well short of their range estimates. This article noted an elevation drop while driving, but even when I've been going down in overall elevation in the R1S over long distances (and driving normally) the R1S still...
  3. Out of Spec seemingly confirms R1 refresh in about a month

    If they drop a 1000hp R1S and improve the ride (and fix the AC noise), I'll be first in line to upgrade. I won't get my hopes up, though.
  4. Tesla Driver calls Cop on Rivian Driver

    Gotta laugh at what some people think is "illegal" and worthy of police intervention. If I was a cop and I had to show up for something so petty - even IF the Rivian owner really wasn't supposed to be there - I'd be up the caller's ass looking for any reason I can think of to tag them with a...
  5. Saw the R3X today

    The Lancia connection is boner-fide.
  6. Vandalism on Rivian - sharing for awareness

    Did your drive cam happen to catch his license plate? Might share that, too. Not that I'm a fan of vigilante justice, but...
  7. Any different lens or defuser for cabin light to not blind the driver?

    Itā€˜s a basic suggestion, but you could try a full restart of the truckā€˜s software to see if that helps. Iā€˜ve had it fix some pretty random issues. Hold the far left button on the steering wheel plus the emergency flashers for 15 seconds or so, youā€˜ll see a notification while youā€˜re doing it...
  8. Is there a Rivian wave/signal thing when we see each other on the road?

    I move into their lane slightly and tap their bumper with mine as they pass.
  9. 25k miles, 17 months, 10K kwh on original factory 21" tires

    I'll let you guys know how long my Cup 2s last.
  10. R1T vs Raptor R U-Drag Race: Quarter Mile, Handling & More! [Edmunds]

    This exactly. Had it won, it would have won. Prove me wrong.
  11. CONCERN: RIVN have enough cash to to go beyond 2025 and launch R2?

    I'd also add that it's smart they made this move before the R2 announce. I expect that reveal will become the dominant Rivian news beat, partially drowning out the layoff news. And there are few things investors like more than cost cutting.
  12. CONCERN: RIVN have enough cash to to go beyond 2025 and launch R2?

    Product is king. The product is fantastic, they'll find a way to survive - on their own, or with help (whether they want it or not).
