The fun part: when Rivian tries to do all this through a complex LLM setup that ends up performing worse and less predictably than old tech (for way more money).

Oops, I fixed the link for future readers.

It actually is evidence and is very scientific. It's not conclusive, it doesn't tell you what every Gen 1 or Gen 2 vehicle would do but it's good data.

Easy to find a stretch of highway in Colorado that's 70 miles between decent fast chargers. Add in 3000+ feet of elevation gain and that can be 30-40% battery in perfect conditions let alone if it's cold and/or you have a roof box. Of course if it's 70 miles between chargers then you're only 35...

Yes, the "tire guide" shows this method: https://rivian.com/support/article/r1-tire-service-guide

The charts empirically measure the efficiency of two different vehicles under highly similar conditions. It doesn't isolate the impact of the heat pump, but you'd think if the heat pump made much difference to cold-weather efficiency then you'd see a bigger difference on the left side of the...

Camp leveling

It's going to get worse before it gets better, if ever. Perhaps direct the staff to garage one of the R1's. You can use it to tow your Grenadier to the trail and save on fuel. Plus, you'll have a more capable recovery vehicle close at hand.

Not everyone agrees with me but I would say the subwoofer

I would start with Moab or Yellowstone and go from there

I would definitely put A-pillar grab handles on the R1 if someone made them

I think Toyo would be a big hit to your range for no good reason compared to the Territory. Editing/adding: Goodyear range is almost as good as all-season tires (you can tell this from Rivian's own EPA range ratings). Toyo range is reportedly similar to the OEM Pirelli all-terrains, which is...

Bottle jack lifting directly on a flat part of the rock sliders right below the frame rails. Or with a little rubber pad on top.

I would have brushed it off, if it weren’t for the comically over the top announcement article. Next: “our designers spent months in the wilds tracking the elusive Alaskan wolf so they could bring you a mind blowing new subtle yet bold shade, Slightly Darker Gray.”

What next? door lock/unlock that works instantly with no bugs or delays?

As mentioned, with R1S you can physically stop the hatch at the desired height, but I think you can even turn off the powered hatch in settings and always open it manually.

You have 121 kWh usable. R2 has 87. While R2 is more efficient, I bet your real world range would be lower. If that matters.

Not any more! Denver service center was great and I only hope they are equally prompt post-apocalypse.

Wasn't April fools a while ago? At least they didn't call it Millenial Gray

If only there was some way to distinguish different versions of the software so people could tell them apart. Possibly some sort of numbering system. Too bad for Rivian no one has invented such a thing.
