My understanding was that the R2 and R3 essentially share a basic platform, which they're calling the midsized platform.

Well I appreciate everyone's feedback, it certainly is helpful in understanding how the system operates and what I can/can't expect out of it. Thank you!

Build thread: https://openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=358 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@mangelsdorfspeed Good to hear Interesting. Come to think of it, I probably have the tools to do similar tuning. Ok question on Apple Music (the integrated app): Is that just the streaming side...

This is where I go back and forth. Even in the short test drive I did, I can tell the vehicle is overall fantastic, but I do a TON of longer drives, where control/management of media, calls, texts, etc really is something that can get infuriating. My experience with Carplay has been that it...

Thanks all for the input! Unfortunately, it sounds like what I was afraid of, which is a major step backwards in terms of phone/media integration if I don't want to give in to streaming. It sounds barely a step above where my old 2009 GMC was. I don't want to beat a dead horse or get into a...

So some of you may recognize me from a few years ago when I was fairly active here. Well in the fall of '24 I decided rather than getting a Rivian or a Silverado EV, to order the Dodge Charger Daytona EV to replace my old Challenger. Its been an..... interesting experience and I'm now...

Cool! The exterior dimensions are what I was worried about.

Does it feel hot hatch sized, or is it more like the Ioniq 5 that has the proportions of a hatch but the size of an SUV? From everything I've seen so far, it looks awesome, if it is actually a hatch.

They're not killing R1. It's their flagship, they have said that over and over again. If I remember correctly, when Normal was a Mitsubishi plant, it had a yearly capacity somewhere around 250k. They're currently building 50k, and have expanded parts of the plant. In recent interviews and...

I literally give zero shits about the stock price. Unless you're day trading, why does it matter? At this point in the company's growth, anyone buying stock should understand that they are doing so for the returns to come in 5+ years when Rivian is profitable. The company seems to be well led...

That image was my favorite part of the presentation. So cool.

I think I heard RJ say it's also wider. I'm really hoping Rivian has plans to send this racing. Whether stage Rally or Nitro Rally Cross's electric class, it would be awesome. Also, I want one badly.

From my experiences, it seems that stations I run into with issues have either deferred maintenance (i.e. none, unless it breaks), or older software. The maintenance issue seems to come down to the networks not having enough technicians, or only deploying them for repairs, not for regular...

Here's the thing that frustrates me with stories like these: a lot of these broken charger issues are due to age of the equipment in the LA area, and they get way over covered because that's where so much of the automotive press is located. Back in September, I took my EV conversion, with 60-70...

Definitely sounds like valves or relays opening and closing. Almost sounds like contactors, but I don't know where those are on a Rivian, and unlikely that they're somewhere that the noise could be heard that clearly.

Unpopular opinion: automakers building out their own charging networks is actually working against EV adoption. It's hard for early adopters to understand how many non-EV drivers do not understand that there is a universal standard for non-Tesla EVs, and that there is a substantial amount of...

I'll just add onto this: CHAdeMO uses CANBus communication, just like the rest of the communications within most modern cars. CCS does not, it uses a different and much more complicated communication protocol. What has been learned in the EV conversion world is that this means CHAdeMO is...

Quite possible

MotorTrend just released an article with instructions for accessing service mode: Our 2022 Rivian R1T Has a Secret Software Mode, and We Accessed It (motortrend.com) From the article:

I'm sort of shocked that it has taken this long for me to see one in person.
