Here's my perspective and I've gone from a 2022 R1T Quad -> 2026 R1T Quad and a 2022 Model 3 Dual Motor w/FSD -> 2026 Model 3 AWD Premium w/FSD.
I'm the primary driver of the Rivians and my wife/3 year old daughter primarily use the Tesla. Here's a summary of my experience with each...
Good explanation. Thanks!
My own anecdotal experience (in WI) is that my Gen 2 Quad WAS immediately more efficient than my Gen 1 Quad. And I swapped them out in February. Now, I certainly wasn't tracking the data in a meticulous way. And my experience doesn't explain whether or not the...
If Tesla does this it would be a paid upgrade for most owners and possibly a free upgrade for people who bought FSD on hardware 3. Elon also mentioned providing an incentive to upgrade to a HW 4 vehicle as a possibility as well.
I don't really see an analog for Rivian here. Gen 1 owners never...
They had 0%/60 months and 0.49%/72 months in February of this year when I used it to buy my Borealis Quad Motor R1T. Unless that employee was hired since then he's straight up lying, communicating disingenuously at best.
Even the current 0.99%/60 months on Tri and Quads is pretty solid, though.
I haven't had any issues with the tonneau and there have been no significant service requirements, just a few aesthetic issues I had Rivian address after I bought it (a rattle from the headliner, paint issue on the charge door, paint issue on one of the gear tunnel doors).

A few times recently my '22 R1T loads my wife's settings when I approach and open the door despite the fact that she (and her phone) was at least miles away in each instance. As in, the seat position and wheel are in the correct settings for me but they change to hers when I open the door.
In...
What I wrote is accurate and has been for a while now. Why would I critique it based on what it was a year ago, 2 years whatever. I don't understand the point you're trying to make with that "revisionist" comment.
As for v13, I've never used it. My understanding is that it adds things like...
I have a Model 3 with FSD and it is very easy to disengage. You can either touch the brake pedal or take control of the steering wheel (by countering something the car is trying to do).
Good info here and the car probably did try to turn onto the tracks. I'm skeptical of this story overall...
"So far this year, CHP officers have issued nearly 243,000 citations for speed-related violations. This includes more than 47,000 citations for speeds over 100 mph."
The bolded stat seems utterly crazy. It's not even halfway through the year. That does indicate a serious problem in my opinion.
Working normally again today. I had done a soft and full reset Sunday night. Maybe that helped. But I'm suspecting maybe it was a network/technical issue Rivian or its provider was experiencing.
I had my R1T there in November. The work itself was good. The wait time for both the appointment (2+ months) and the service itself (~3 weeks) were suboptimal but that's a general Rivian flaw. I didn't love the rental car I was given (Equinox EV from Enterprise). I don't think they even had any...
