I love the quick access window that pops up but shouldn’t Rivian add a one button to close all windows on there? I know you can do it in the app but this would seem so much better to me.
They have one open spot and could always make more.
I did and it tells me to call. When I they look into it and told me to just wait this it has not been processed but this last time since it was 20 weeks old they said someone will call you at some time in the next couple weeks. ??‍♂️
I have two issues with the Rivian navigation and I am not sure if it is user error or not.
1) I traveled to the Rivian event in normal IL where they showed off the R2 and R3. In normal there is only one none Tesla fast charger. You can imagine the wait time were ridiculous. However, the...
So, I finally did do my own tire rotation on my R1S. I did it a little different that I have seen it being done using one floor jack and two jack stands. Here is my video.
I posted this video since I did not see anyone do a DIY tire rotation with only one floor jack and exposing the frame to allow for jack stands. I do not have two floor jacks let alone 3. I did buy one 1EV Rivian floor puck and used by two jack stands on the front. In order to do this all you...
Everything has trade offs. Heats pumps will be more efficient is colder / hot weather but they can have a hard time warming the car is very cold weather. Obviously the overall efficiency impact will vary depending on the climate but I do not think the KWH/mile impact will be huge but certainly...
I can’t imagine the normal plant will be able to stay busy on just R1s/r2t plus service van. The r1 is essentially a US only car and long term demand is not going to be high. Even Tesla does not sell many model x’s.
Home charging should be the dominant form or EV’s become too expensive. Everyone will have there own situation and ideally cars will have driver and passenger charge ports like Porsche.
I think you’re taking this too seriously. People want to know the logic behind it. RJ talked about how everything was really thought out and they must have a reason. It could be curb side charging or something else.
I don’t get the sense that people are just being selfish. I do believe a...
Imo it should be on the drivers side. Either the front or back and ideally front and back like the Porsche. The driver is the person going to plug it in and he is on the drivers side. I am thinking more about home charging than super charging however since that’s going to be used more often.
I...
I see the pictures for the R2 and R3 showing charging with a NACS port on the passenger side. Can anybody explain why you would want to charge on the passenger side? To me this would just make charging more difficult at home and even at superchargers.
Love my R1s. Only reason to sell would be because I like smaller cars and get an r2s provided they don’t go out of business. However, they likely would get bought before that. Apple buying them could be cool…
