Wow all those coils on that charging pad and my phone struggles to find one and hold a charge, incredibly overengineered and still fails to do its core functionality.
Rivian might finally see a direct competitor if they actually build it. I'm digging the lego look of this thing, not a fan of the interior though. Cleaning it might not be fun though. I do like hearing it is designed for the "build maker" and modifier the complete opposite of Rivian's stance...
Wassym thanks for reaffirming my thoughts on moving on from Rivian. Just keeps going deeper down the path of touch, voice control and Ai none are great. Just give us access to a curated Android play store and most of the complaints go away no need to reinvent every app to pad that revenue stream...
To me it looks like a. Jaguar ipace. Just nothing about it says Ferrari, at least the Mazda looking suv was interesting to look at, this is just a boring tech appliance look. A Ferrari needs to be flashy, not practical.
Would be easy enough to just have a countersunk hole on the bottom of the new adapter, but you really don't want this adding more moving parts will make it even more sketchy if everything is not completely vertical slight lean and it will buckle.
All the people saying they don't need a rear wiper probably aren't driving in really dusty areas or on salted streets in snowy places. A rear camera or window without a wiper becomes useless within a couple of minutes with salt spray coming off from under the vehicle.
Also what this isn't...
I did not disconnect the line. You'll need to get it out of the foam to see the filler plug. Foam is just friction fit into the housing.
I wedged the pump between the tire and wheel well and bumper trim to get access to the fill hole.
Made a filling tube with funnel and parts from a brake...
I'll have to dig up a picture I took of it. But no further disassembly is needed once you get it out of the foam shell. The reservoir tank is the round plastic tank on top with a small hex plug,you remove the plug and fill it with a tiny funnel and a piece of tubing. It's a slow process as the...
It's all about the small medium large sales tactic to make you purchase the highest trim level as it looks like a bargain compared to the lowest trim level.
I'm with you on this it's not about business, If you were purely thinking from your business point of view like Rivian is you'd be ecstatic about a new propriety jacking point as it would mean more adapters to sell instead of people reusing their existing R1 adapters.
I'll believe it when I hear it, their track record for sound quality isn't great, this is the same group of engineers who thought out of phase speakers sounded good for a few years.
R2 being cheaper probably means they cheaped out on the speakers and amps to get to a lower price point...
Yet another reason why I won't be returning to Rivian once I'm done with the T, this company is just so hostile to 3rd party / DIY things. Just doesn't fit with how I do things, next thing you'll find is some crazy pentalobe screws everywhere.
I'm assuming you are using built in Spotify App through connect+ so may not be same as mine. Streaming from my Samsung Galaxy it just lowers the music volume during the chime but song keeps playing.
Has anyone done the cape cod sand dunes on 22s? Thinking of doing it this summer and was interested in some tips like what PSI and ideal time of year to go and anything else that would be helpful.
Or should I just invest in some 20 inch Ram wheels and off road tires?
It's a ready made solution for premium priced vehicle for those who don't want to be bothered. Every Rivian branded accessory or part is priced like a premium product so nothing shocking here.
You could always go find your own aftermarket one that fits or just live without one.
