My statement was mostly tongue-in-cheek, meaning “look at little ol’ me, I only took delivery a few months ago and I got an email!” but yeah, I know they’ll prioritize by ownership timing, which I’m fine with.

The emails definitely weren’t. I took delivery Dec 2023 and by the looks of some other threads on the forum, I better stay silent lest an earlier owner find out. I hit opt in so fast though that I hope it’s first come first served on the shipping haha

Just got my email (and opted in) a few minutes ago too

I can see it now. An EV online article about a Reddit post citing this forum where there’s a link to an article citing this forum as the source of the rumor of purchase.

Membership pricing for non-Teslas near me have been roughly .30/kWH, about .10 less than non-members (I.e. non-members pay .40/kWH). My Tesla gets the member level pricing. I’m happy about this as a Tesla/Rivian owner. I think everyone worried about overloading is forgetting that Tesla sells...

This is exactly what I was saying in my post. It is indeed clear that Tesla developed their supercharger network for Teslas and Teslas only (to begin with). Without needing to go into whether it was/is bad engineering, an elitism, etc. or maybe some/all of the above, Tesla did this on purpose...

That doesn’t prove a counterpoint. I agree with your statement and the article supporting the idea that Tesla was trying to force other manufacturers to follow suit (namely, design their charge ports/geometry to match Tesla’s). My point still stands though - Tesla intentionally didn’t consider...

I was with you until this statement. What incentive did Tesla have to design their proprietary superchargers in any way to accommodate anything except their own design (which was a single location on every vehicle)? I agree that, upon opening the supercharger network, it’s a “deal with it”...

I’ve sent in many notes on the battery percentage in navigation I think I’ve lost count. Completely agree on that one. I’d like to see more options for the left/right steering wheel buttons (on both the left/right sides of the steering wheel). As well as options of the left and right sides of...

I love that the frunk came powered from the factory. I had to install aftermarket parts/wiring to make my Model S frunk powered (and frankly, useful). That it comes that way stock was a huge selling point for the wife, who now prefers using it since it’s deeper and groceries, etc. don’t slide...

I agree - I’d much rather the transparency, and my hope (have only had my R1S a month) is that the updates continue to be fulsome and well documented. There are certainly updates I get in the Tesla that I have to hunt online for an understanding of “minor bug fixes and improvements”. I also...

My general point was that the optics of going back against what has been a company line is likely not something they want. That’s also why I used quotes around recall.

Rivian (nor any auto manufacturer) would actually state the issue as widely-spread. That runs into the optics and mess of a “recall.” I’m certainly not saying this WILL fix anything (for many or few) but if they were to say anything but what they did, it would go against their company line...

Got it - thanks for the clarification. Might consider having them put both onto HEAD fork just in case a later update breaks the (now-)functioning one.

Curious about this second statement. I have two UWC (one worked out of the box, no special firmware needed, second needed the HEAD firmware, which I got through chat, but works now). Are you saying that I can ask now them to upgrade the one on the HEAD firmware now and be all good? Or do I need...

I use the SnapPlate (linked by @nukem384 in his post) on my Model S as well as ordered one for my R1S. Works very well. I don’t put it on except for when parking in downtown Denver, which is about the only time it’s really enforced. For daily driving I leave it in the trunk just in case.
