No, it doesn’t if you manage your charging correctly. To take advantage of the increased capacity you have to charge it beyond 80%. See the Out of Spec tests. You are making the amount of time spent on the road/charging significantly longer.

This is all correct - but again, the battery is the same size and same voltage. See below: "Instead of adding more cells or modules to an existing battery pack, which would add more mass, our engineers developed a proprietary battery management system that optimizes and increases the usable...

No. The test you can find on YouTube that supposedly shows the max pack charging faster is flawed because it only compares miles added per hour of charge and not kw….but that difference was likely down to difference in the calcs for the dual motor vs the quad. The max pack has the exact...

I think he literally is also talking about the extra range on long trips. He mentions his wife’s range anxiety, not her concern about time at chargers. But have you looked at the real world charging followed by range travelled comparisons? The large pack actually outperforms the max pack...

So when I go to my Spotify settings all it shows is my account at the top - and then at the bottom of the screen it shows streaming settings and then third party stuff - and the only one I can click on is the third party. I try and select the streaming audio quality settings and nothing...

Yep, it’s insanity for $10k extra. Especially when the real world increase is so far off from the advertised theoretical maximum. On road trips you’d have to spend well over an hour or more at each charging stop to take advantage of that theoretical maximum (which you still won’t touch at...

You are a statistical anomaly if the CCS network has never failed you.

Have you looked at the range tests and charging curves for the max pack? You aren’t getting anywhere near 400 miles. You are looking at an EXTREMELY small increase over the large pack. Plus on road trips, how often will you wait on it to charge from 80%-100% on anything other than your...

It’s not broken - they just let a bunch of CS service people go. It’s been 4 days. FYI - going through the same process with Tesla took me well over a week. The phone as key app isn’t the first thing needed to “experience the product completely”……can you really not wait a week and just use...

Welcome to owning a $100k vehicle…..and it’s not just CA……I just paid about the same in AL.

Why would the police give you a hard time? If you have the legal right to register it where you want it’s not their business nor is it illegal. Plenty of folks do similar things.

I don’t think it has to do with the value it’s not about the price you paid. It’s what they value the vehicle at and then continue to depreciate it each year.

Crash testing is absolutely a requirement for selling vehicles in the US. Even if the NHTSA does conduct its own crash tests manufacturers are required to conduct them on their own and submit the data to the NHTSA proving that it meets minimum safety standards before they can sell a car to...

They’ve literally had employees quoted saying there will be no visual change. the R2 wheel is a prototype, one-off. Installing it would require new government crash tests (which we would be seeing leaks of for months) aside from all the internal design, sourcing, manufacturing, and...

Oh my, “denial”? I couldn’t give two craps if my vehicle is considered “old”. it’s rooted in the realities of large scale automotive sourcing, planning, design, and manufacturing. A single prototype comes out (you realize nearly every part of R2 is a one-off, practically hand-built...

I hope this is a joke…….if so, well played. “Potential to cause thumb stress” is the most absurd thing I have ever heard.

Have you ever been towing and needed to charge to 100% at a get charger? Plenty of time to make a meal….

But having it on the front literally makes the vehicle incompatible with nearly full stations……you are basically taking 2 spots.

The Tesla one and practically every other decent adapter does the same with an automatic lock. That engages when you push a button. They did it this way to cut costs, it’s not “safer” than the Tesla one.

All of rivians shippping materials are made from recycled ocean waste. The amount of time, energy, and cost involved in this box was a multiple of what it took Ford to include a thank you note…..
