  1. What will we learn on Thursday? A Predictions Thread...

    Don't need. We have had our share of issues with Prime minister here as well. I'm used to this type of mess. Back to discussion! EPA, EPA, EPA !!!
  2. What will we learn on Thursday? A Predictions Thread...

    I must admit that now that you have changed your president, I may want to visit USA again...
  3. EVs, regen and rusty brakes

    Yes, but instead of me taking time to go out of my way to do it safely every day or so, I hope there is a way to do it 2.0.
  4. EVs, regen and rusty brakes

    Me... litterally 2 minutes ago... Honey, I'll be back in two minutes, I just need to put the car on creep mode. No, don't stop the movie, it will be quick. Thanks, I forgot about creep mode. I doubt it will correct everything, but this should certainly help.
  5. EVs, regen and rusty brakes

    I'm wondering if Rivian has thought of a way to mitigate rusty/seizing brakes. Regen is both a blessing for efficiency and a curse for brakes, especially in winter with snow, salt, heated garage and short driving distances. On my model 3 it's bad... on my Nissan Leaf, it is a nightmare... VW...
  6. Any other Canadians on this group yet?

    Their is no real or fake Quebecer! As long as you pay income taxes ?
  7. Home charger location: what would you do?

    Option 1. Albeit less convenient, you don't need to charge everyday anyway. It will also allow you to precondition your battery more easily prior to a longer trip (covered). Is level 1 available at option 2? If yes, you could charge in both locations.
  8. Rivian Battery Poll - VOTE HERE

    Exactly. I did a few tries with the alpha version of abetterrouteplanner and the larger battery would maybe save me half an hour for 1 or 2 trips per year. I can live with that and save myself 10k$. The rest of the year, I'm not doing a lot of mileage per day. Those errands, with the 300 miles...
  9. New April 1st Email from Rivian Answers Many Lingering Questions

    The modem sound was the moment when I realized I got fooled... That being said... if it was true... does that mean that if you answer a call while driving, your car will become unresponsive? ;)
  10. Rivian Warranty information announced!

    With Tesla, they used to come to your house with a Tesla on a flatbed, drop it, put yours on the truck and bring it to the nearest center, sometimes several hundred kilometers/miles away.
  11. How close do you think real world range will be to EPA range?

    I have been burned by Tesla before which was on the overly optimistic side and my commute is less than ideal. I would be suprised, in my situation to see anything better than 25% less than EPA. In Canada, there are 2 seasons. Winter and preparation for the next winter. Heating decreases...
  12. What will you name your Rivian?

    My field of practice + rivian blue + 0-60 in 3.0 sec = Cherenkov (effect)
  13. Introducing Rivian Guides Program: A dedicated Guide for your entire Rivian ownership

    Ok, you got me :blush:. I'm French and learning a little bit more everyday.
  14. Introducing Rivian Guides Program: A dedicated Guide for your entire Rivian ownership

    Yes indeed. Grammar errors are rare, most likely because I have less than 10 posts...
  15. EV break in requirements

    Drive it like you stole it :rock: That being said, I wouldn't plan a long trip right after I get it, as small issues may arise early on. Example: I went on a one week trip from the dealership and had a squeaking steering wheel and door handle. I couldn't think of anything but that during my...
  16. Any other Canadians on this group yet?

    Hello all, I have been an EV driver since 2013 in Québec city with the Nissan Leaf, which is still going strong and in 2018 we have replaced our last gas car with a Tesla model 3. I have 3 kids (2, 5 and 7 yo) and although they all currently fit in the back of both cars, they will not fit...
