Yeah that’s the problem, non of those are services I subscribe to and don’t have their apps. I dropped Amazon Prime a couple of years ago, after the last time they jacked the price and reduced the benefits completely tanking the value of Prime. Ads, slow delivery, and worse service than even...
It isn’t a conspiracy, and it is disingenuous since it’s not about Apple’s closed ecosystem. It’s about creating their own closed one to monetize rather than creating additional value for their customers. It’s about a desire to create their own closed app and subscription market. GM’s is the...
Apple offers Apple Music/iTunes on Android and Windows. You can also initiate AirPlay video from Windows devices to Apple devices (Apple TV as an example).
The point is Rivian chose to appease only half of their customer base (assuming 50/50 Android to Apple split of Rivian owners - Volvo and...
A better (more than just an edge case) option/add-on that would get far more and more consistent use would be CarPlay. It’s not just for when you’re in Park and if you have an Android phone and apps with support., It’s for anytime you’re in the car. Or if we want to be more apples to apples why...
That’s what I would expect from any auto factory. It’s counterintuitive for them to allow someone with a following to have unfettered access to photograph and post. It’s the details competitors look for. Typically when access like that is granted many things are controlled to avoid unintentional...
Plus in actuality the portable charger won’t do more than 7.6kW anyway so 12kW would have been overkill even giving it 20% overhead. Charging at 3.2-3.6k will likely get you where you need unless you intend to travel more than 200mi from the nearest outlet you could mooch. Even the Dempster...
How? No matter how it’s driven the range indicated in the driver display on mine is always 300mi in All Purpose or 330 conserve (@100%). I’d love it if it would adjust based on actual demand rather than percent based off EPA combined estimate.
My thought exactly! He goes and finds 18-22mpg Highway SUV and doesn’t hold them to the same expectations that they’ll perform WORST than the estimated EPA at 80mph like the Rivian. Push those larger bricks at 80 and he’d be lucky to see 14mpg. Being generous at 14mpg he’s going to spend at...
I have the R5 in 275/50R22 and they’re fantastic. We’ve not had winter weather other than freezing temps and the grip improvement even in wet is exceptional and that’s compared to Outpost nAT 275/60R20. The R5 are also incredibly quiet (a nice change for us for winter as we used studded...
100%! I’m hoping to replace our second car with another EV (down to an EX90 and R1S). I’d like or it to come with CCS rather than NACS as standard. Not only for home charging but also since Superchargers are only a backup or fall back if nothing else is available. There’s only one road trip...
It’s not a compatibility issue. It’s a catalog issue; Rivian doesn’t have it listed as an accessory to sell. Kind of like sometime last year they stopped selling 20” AT wheels to owners of R1 that did not come with AT wheels as an option.
No.
Is yours a Gen1 or Gen2? The reason that matters is Gen1 are more complicated to do alignments on due to the complicated subframe it has vs. the new casted frame on Gen2. If alignment is off the extruded aluminum and welded subframe can be a factor and would require adjustments to the...
Interesting others have attempted to have SC fix this. In my view it’s a design flaw by having just a center latch and the hood being so large. It certainly doesn’t help the leading edge is head first into oncoming airflow. I’ve never experienced this with other cars that have aluminum hoods...
Do you have a Standard Pack?
Those need to be charged to 100% periodically because LFP batteries have flat SoC curves, meaning the battery voltage is not a good indication (as on non LFP based batteries) of the batteries state of charge. The BMS instead has to estimate SoC based on net energy...
