This is exactly it. I bought my Model 3 in 2018, and paid for the Enhanced Self Driving (ESD). Later, when Elon decided to make it a $2K upgrade to get the HW3 controller and FSD, I went for it (mostly with the idea to help the resale value). Do I believe Elon will actually follow through on...
My friend just sent me a link to a local news site about Rivian’s plans going in front of the Santa Barbara Architectural Board of Review). It’s a preliminary step to get some early feedback before a formal submission. So who knows how long it will be before permits are granted, let alone...
To add on to this, you only got the FSD computer upgrade if you upgraded from either standard Autopilot or Enhanced Autopilot to FSD. I bought my Model 3 in 2018 with EA. When Elon decided he didn’t like the numbers he was seeing with FSD purchases, he offered EA owners to upgrade to FSD, with...
Looks like the Pismo Beach RAN charger is now open. The app shows different pricing for Rivian vs. non-Rivian vehicles. I haven’t seen this before at other RAN locations.
I was charging at a public L2 charger down near the beach in Santa Barbara, and there was a mobile service R1T plugged in next to me. First time I’ve seen Rivian mobile service up here. Not sure where it was based, though.
Was in Pismo Beach yesterday, and took a look at the RAN site, and it's very far along. The charging posts and cabinets are in place. Still waiting for the transformer and switchgear(?), and there were bases for parking lot lighting waiting for fixtures. Hopefully, PG&E's backlog of transformer...
Just got back from staying at the Wawona, and with the amount of driving necessary to go to Yosemite Valley and Glacier Point, and topping up for the drive home, the Waypoints were really helpful. I won't lie, I felt a bit smug that I could charge for free in multiple spots in the park.
Thanks...
Just had the windshield replaced on my R1T. Took almost 3 months to get an appointment at the El Segundo SC. I inquired with one of the Rivian-approved collision centers, and they wanted over $2,000 more than Rivian to do the work. I’m guessing is that they know that they can bill my insurance...
I kinda doubt that a paid software upgrade will upgrade the standard Dual Motor to the full output of the DM Performance spec. I expect it will be more like what Tesla has offered to Dual Motor Model 3/Y owners, and charge something lower than the upcharge for the Performance model, and not...
My experience seemed different than most. After I put my deposit down, I was contacted about 2-1/2 weeks later to input my configuration (Rivian Blue R1T/quad motor/21” road/Black Mountain+Dark Ash interior). After consulting with my better half, I changed the interior to Ocean Coast+Dark Ash...
After getting a couple of small things fixed at the El Segundo SC, I rolled by the Rivian Space in Venice. It turns out they have a small gear shop in there. So I grabbed a few things, and asked about the tailgate pad (fully expecting a “No, sorry” response). I was very pleasantly surprised when...
