People who are saying add a tether have likely had vehicles in the past that had a tether from the factory.

My Gen 1 did it yesterday. I was using Driver assist. There was a car stopped about 3 feet off the right shoulder. The brakes were applied not so gently for about a second until it decided it was not really a hazard.

It's consistently inconsistent. i have had mobile service twice - first to replace the 12 volt battery proactively 18 months ago and recently I had the 30k mile checkup. Both came from Trenton, NJ which is 1.4 to 2 hours travel time depending on route and traffic. The Malvern, Pennsylvania SC is...

Such first world complaints. God forbid that you actually get some stretching exercise by reaching up to close the frunk manually. ;) As an investor, I applaud Rivian for keeping the build cost and therefore the sales price down by eliminating features that 50% or less of the people would...

That's the way it has been with almost every consumer device in history, and certainly automobiles ... until Tesla. When I bought my Rivian, this was my exact attitude. The features were what they were the day I took delivery. Be satisfied with that or don't buy it. Any later improvements are...

Hotfixes address specific known issues/problems/bugs. Updates more broadly add new or revise existing functionality. This fits the definition of a hotfix, not an update.

"they could have had it all". Producing a larger vehicle that would never sell in quantities to be profitable is not "having it all". It's highly likely that they did market research to arrive at the proper size for the R1S. Yes, it handles the Rubicon but that's not why they chose the size...

The Verge Full Article The story is written by a UK owner Excerpts: I reported the problem to Kia and my local dealer wasn’t able to initially replicate it until I was able to record the issue on my phone while charging on a fast DC charger. The car would drop to a 0kW charge rate at 82...

"Au body" - that explains why Rivians are so damn expensive!

So true. 3D printing forums/groups are particularly bad. A noob posts a question they could have easily found a gazillion discussions about ("Should I use Glue Stick?") and then a free for all of criticism, bad advice and counterpoint posts follows. I rarely visit or post in 3D forums anymore.

It's in the owners manual and tow operators manual:

I suspect the BMW i8 was part of their design inspiration. But BMW got it right, Luce - not so much.

As mentioned above, it's most likely a bad sensor and not a wiring fault. I can't speak for Rivian, but most crash sensors have power, ground and and a digital output signal that indicates when a crash occurs. If the wiring was bad, it should indicate a fault, not a crash.
