I don't see how anyone could have believed that HW3 (or 4) vehicles ever had any chance of unsupervised driving. Even if the software and the computer were up to the task, the rest of the vehicle isn't. Only the front camera has a wiper! And it only has a wiper because the human needs it. How...

I won't vote since I'm not considering an R2 and therefore not your target audience. ( I would be more in the market for an R0 - I wish my R1 was bigger, not smaller ) But there is no limit to how much I would pay extra for the right color because I am not going to compare the cost of the...

I am 99.9% confident that isn't going to happen. R2 frunk isn't going to have electronic struts. It just has a spring popping it open. That is also why it won't auto close. Springs are one way and don't respond to settings.

I don't know the answer but rather than poking around blindly you could buy service manual access. For $200 per month you can get access to the same information that the authorized shops have. This is really new, and I haven't heard anyone confitm that it is live, so it might be a good idea to...

I enjoy that wheel power graphic. And I did find it quite useful to understand what was going on when my car bugged out and was pushing with one corner while simultaneously regening on the other 3 corners. I am also all I for more data. If they need to free up space to show more data then I...

Rivian has never done that before with any of their previous launches. But I really hope you are right.

For us it's not a matter of time or distance. The only question is how deep the water is. Anything over 43" and I have no choice but to get in the ICE, but in practice the transition point is usually a bit over 12". **The only thing I own that uses gasoline is a boat.

Isnt there a law that you have to have 7 shades of grey for every non-grey color?

More flexible rear seating. Copy the minivans that let you remove the center section and slide the remaining seats side-to-side. Replace all of those static 5v USB charges with proper USB-PD compliant ports that are capable of at least 36w. Give us back the 12v outlets. More 120v outlets. (At...

So if Rivian sets the price of an R2 at $80,000 and then generously contributes $40,000 towards the purchase, the state will cover the other $40,0000 and customer pays nothing? California must want to be Oprah. You get a car! You get a car! You get a car!

I'm not surprised if some or all of the independent tests reported different information, but I don't ever remember 3.1 showing up on official marketing. I just remember "3 seconds" without any decimals. Mar 2021, "3 seconds" https://web.archive.org/web/20210313034845/https://rivian.com/r1s...

My 2023 came with the following items that could potentially be removed/lost somewhere along the way. 120/240 volt charger cable with case (two swappable plugs and 1 main unit) First aid kit Compressor hose and case Flat tire goo kit Camp speaker Flashlight Front license plate bracket Two Latch...

BS 1 decade ago (2016) it was far from "nearly impossible" to drive an EV in Vermont. Even in the winter. A 2016 Model S had a range of 300 miles and Vermont is only 150 miles long. Even if you live at one end of the state you could drive to the far end and back without charging. That is...

It isn't fair to blame the government for this as most of the comments about this usually imply. The rule just says that if you want to advertise a certain number, the vehicle has to actually be able to meet that number with the default settings. IMO, that is entirely reasonable and how the...

April 2026, April 2027 or April 2028? No need to consider R2 as an option if you were talking about April 2026. If you aren't already in line even April 2027 might be optimistic.

The rims with hubcaps have a slight aerodynamic advantage over the other options, but neither of the rims you are asking about are super-aerodynamic or super-light weight. So any range differences between them are going to be pretty much 100% from the rubber. If you were to put the same...

My first few adventures were to the Rivian service center to have all of the obvious defects repaired. I am pretty sure that dealing with Rivian customer service is an adventure no matter where you live so I think this counts even though I also don't live in New England.

Nope - I am one of the people that Rivian would point to as evidence that 12v outlets aren't needed. I don't actually think they would software remove it on purpose, but I wouldn't find it all that surprising if they software broke it on accident since there is a decent chance their test...

Did you recently install a software update? According to Rivian no one uses the 12V outlets and that is why they deleted it from the design. Perhaps they decided it was time to delete the part of the software that controls the 12V outlets since very few cars were built with 12V outlets and...

That sounds about right. Rivians may be assembled in a part of Illinois that occasionally sees cold weather. But they are designed in the part of California where they consider anything less than 65F to be too cold to go outside. It probably works fine in the coldest weather that the...
