  1. Rivian now charging $.68 per kwh

    Something like a Kia telluride would be half the fuel cost and no long fueling stops. Even with my high @$$ electric cost up here, at least my home charging is still a "savings" vs ICE. This assumes an 800 miles. which is probably about as far as most people would road trip, regardless of...
  2. Possible DIY for road noise reduction (Gen 1)

    Quick video of a few DYI steps to help reduce road noise in the Gen 1 vehicles. I've personally never been bothered by it but I know others bring it up as a point of contention and it may really come down to which tires you have on it. The 20's AT are much noisier than the 22s that I have...
  3. MKBHD Gen2 R1S Review

    Marques made a few stupid mistakes, But he openly acknowledged and apologized which is a lot more than others would do. I'm a fan of his content.
  4. R2 TRI-MOTOR

    It's a guess at point. They could offer single motor and dual motor with LFP, dual performance and TRI with NMC. I would guess they want to hit like 3 - 3.5 mil/kwh on the epa cycle so a 400 mile configuration would need 114- 133kwh usable capacity. I can't see them getting efficiency above...
  5. R2 TRI-MOTOR

    R2 Tri-motor shouldn't exist, a dual with a software performance unlock is more than enough... Here's my guess 1) It'll cost $75-85K, It'll have an updated suspension and staggered tires. 2) Range will be 270-ish. 3) Q4 2026 3) It'll have similar color pallet to R1 but slightly changed.
  6. Gen1 Quad From a Gen2 Owner’s Perspective

    I agree, I wish dual had the option for AWD all-purpose mode or just have a conserve mode like the quad. It's my understanding Gen 2 Tri all-purpose and conserve work like G1 quad (but with a single front motor, like a dual)
  7. Gen1 Quad From a Gen2 Owner’s Perspective

    Gen 1 R1S dual motor with performance upgrade here. While I'm happy I have "sport" mode, for the $5k extra it cost it's not worth it..I never leave all-purpose mode. Mine is in for service as well, and I'm driving a loaner G1 R1T quad with the 20" ATs the road noise is crazy compared to my...
  8. Yet Another Connect+ Alternative

    Can't I just run the mobile hotspot on my 5G phone ?
  9. Florida 2024 R1T Dual Motor Large Battery - Forest Green - Offroad Pack

    Why are you selling so soon? what are you planning to replace it with ?
  10. Ford Says Large Electric Trucks And SUVs Have 'Unresolvable' Problems

    It's a multi-headed problem. Modern EV technology would do best in the small to mid-size and sedan and crossover segments for heavily populated urban areas. I love my Rivian, but the large 3-row SUV and pick-up truck market should NOT be EV at this point. But, Americans have been conditioned to...
  11. Why Gen1 doesn't show vehicles behind you

    The same reason the abandoned Driver+, to make Gen 2 look like a justified "upgrade"
  12. Rivian HANDS FREE ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM is coming 2025 + EYES OFF SYSTEM in 2026 -- Per CEO RJ SCARINGE

    Elevators are on cables, much like my Disney world tram example, typically tied into building management systems which are controlled and monitored by humans. would I get on an elevator that was designed to go in every direction with other human and natural factor variability, Nope More...
  13. Rivian HANDS FREE ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM is coming 2025 + EYES OFF SYSTEM in 2026 -- Per CEO RJ SCARINGE

    I am fine with the technology being used to enhance the human interaction, I am not fan of having the human interaction removed. No time in the evolution of mobility has the human been replaced, beside track and rail short transportation, airports, Disney world etc,, If you could get on a...
  14. Rivian HANDS FREE ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM is coming 2025 + EYES OFF SYSTEM in 2026 -- Per CEO RJ SCARINGE

    What? Which part that reports are many of the time bias or maintaining human involvement is safer than relying solely on self-driving tech? both those things are pretty factual.
  15. Rear ended by a Jeep Wagoneer

    Crazy how crumple zones work, that Jeep absorbed all that energy.
  16. Rivian HANDS FREE ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM is coming 2025 + EYES OFF SYSTEM in 2026 -- Per CEO RJ SCARINGE

    1) who paid for this research ? I believe zero headlines about "report confirms" many are bias. 2) You know what is safer than humans or self-driving? Having both.
  17. Hudson, NH Service Center in the works

    If that's true that would be so close for me. I wonder if that will meet the state requirements so they can offer leasing here.
  18. Rivian HANDS FREE ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM is coming 2025 + EYES OFF SYSTEM in 2026 -- Per CEO RJ SCARINGE

    I agree, advancements in tech, like all before it from the seatbelt to ABS to Airbags, etc.. make cars safer. These have always been in addition to the human. now the Human is the assistant to the tech and it takes away from driving. If you're not going to drive, why waste all this money...
  19. Rivian HANDS FREE ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM is coming 2025 + EYES OFF SYSTEM in 2026 -- Per CEO RJ SCARINGE

    This isn't about what people want, this is about making tech that excites wall-street. as maybe said by Henry Ford "if you asked people what they wanted, they would have asked for faster horses"
