Any luck @Luvwine or anyone else? My wife’s key unpaired and I cannot re-pair it. iPhone. Updated app. Deleted her key. Deleted her access. Started over. Repeatedly. Have rebooted phone several times and Rivian several times. Audio will connect no problem but the phone won’t connect as a key...

What’s great though is that when these mishaps happen, there is always a dumpster on site to facilitate collecting the trash.

Great write up. I also upgraded and fully agree with @mpshizzle. The only thing I would add is that I also simply enjoy having the rear motor engaged in sport mode. The R1S handles better (or at least feels like it handles better) even when not gunning it.

Agree. You can’t go wrong. You are overthinking it and that’s good. Get what’s right for you. I have a gen2 dual motor that I upgraded to performance. (There wasn’t a Tri option when I bought.) I loved it before and love it even more after the upgrade. Even the performance dual is overkill but...

Yikes. Sorry to hear this. I have an early Gen2 dual motor. I had a rear motor failure (when driving). I thought it was a big fail and was quite worried. Rivian picked it up with a flatbed and then I got meaningless updates for a few days. But then I got the update that it was ready. It came...

I think that's a good question, but I also think it's worth challenging the premise. Is Tesla really an AI company? One has to wonder how people can value it that way when Elon has xAI and has, in the past, threatened to develop AI outside of Tesla if he doesn't get 25% of it. Given we have...

Gotta hand it to Elon for consistency. The CT really brings out the worst in everyone. The crazy, cringey AI Elon loving song lady, people vandalizing other people’s CTs, people vandalizing their own CTs. Me, finding myself reflexively giving CTs the one finger salute. It’s like the real world...

I don’t know, man. I’m still wondering how to play my 8-tracks and my Betamax videos.

Well, I was hoping for a photo but, regardless, I’m glad to read that “Rivians are the new hotness in electric vehicles.”

EV range will continue to increase. Perhaps there will be a breakthrough or maybe just lots of small improvements, in battery tech, EV efficiency, and vehicle weight. Meanwhile, charging infrastructure will expand and improve. And humans will adjust to new things. I personally felt some range...

Not wanting my money to end up in Elon’s hands isn’t mere virtue signaling in my book. I understand the arguments people make when buying Tesla products notwithstanding what the company stands for today. I thought about getting a Tesla L2 charger for my home since it has both CCS and NACS. But...

I feel bad for them too, but they can still sell them and get one of the myriad alternatives.

The simplest option is to avoid Tesla entirely if at all possible. Just sayin’.

Tighter, more communicative steering would be awesome. Can they achieve that with software?

God bless Canada! I don’t blame you a bit. In fact, if the U.S. stays on its current trajectory, I sure hope you Canadians will consider accepting New York as your 11th province. (Why aren’t you guys talking about that? Wouldn’t some border states be interested?) It is the case, though, that...

Rear motor is always engaged when in sport mode. That’s the key in my book.

Still bulletproof though. 🤣

Made the upgrade. Totally worth it for me personally. It’s not so much the extra speed, it’s the handling in Sport Mode. If you both like driving and have the resources, get it. But the regular dual motor is great and if you don’t enjoy driving that much or you can’t imagine the handling being...

I have an A2Z and the Rivian one but have never used either. I just CCS charge. Easy-peasy, ketamine free.

If I were at Tesla, I’d pay Rivian to hire me.
