Seems like lots of folks are evaluating here so I just wanted to jump in and say I'm 200% happy with my StowNCharge. I've tried just about every charging mat replacement on the market and while several of them have things I really like, StowNCharge is the only one that stuck for me and feels...

Yeah, when I'm out of state I typically do a flash or wink at other Rivians, but in Seattle I barely acknowledge my coworkers and closest friends, so...

Propaganda aside, one thing that's happening is legacy auto makers with terrible go-to-market shoving mediocre EVs onto dealership lots. Dealers feel penalized and forced to sell something they don't want to sell, and they go whine to the press, who publish story after story about how...

A fact that goes underreported: Rivian outsells Tesla in the premium segment

I know the pitchforks are already out but this really feels like a bug or temporary limitation. The fact that the teaching UI and other hints tell users to "swipe for gauges" does not suggest intentional segmentation. And also, segmentation/price discrimination only works if you market it and...

The interview on TFL Truck suggested they do factor in aero. (I'm curious if/how this shows up as weight on the display, but it should be at least coarsely estimable separate from weight by comparing the increasing power requirements at various speeds.)

Great, now we need per-horse profiles...

I'll just say one of the most enlightening things I've ever done is be accountable for maintaining a publicly triaged list of feature requests and responses for software with over a billion users. A couple days on that job and you rapidly realize a few things. Not all feedback is created...

I personally disagree with the UI suggestion (I ilke the clean infographic and the visual hierarchy of "schematic" versus "meters" as distinct interests). But christ dude, you don't have to be a dick about it. He made a constructive suggestion. It's enthusiasm, not entitlement. I'll take...

FWIW I think the primary advantage of a proper winter tire is in hard packed snow and ice - the kind of stuff you see in remote ski areas and/or crossing mountain passes in a snowstorm when the plows can't keep up (or in an ice storm in the city like Seattle/Portland have seen in the last few...

Not really. It's hard to compare apples to apples - my winter efficiency is definitely worse, but it's also winter. In practice I think the Blizzaks are probably slightly more efficient than the Pirellis, but any gains are more than offset by the fact that I use them exclusively in cold and...

I don't know why we're pretending that this is some secret. Rivian has been consistent here that the appearance and functionality are the same, and it's visibly hard slats in the new photos. Whatever design changes there are, they're under the hood. It's definitely not fabric or a rollup or some...

Another +1 on the Blizzak LTs. I've been very happy with those on my 20s. The seasonal changeover is a bit of a hassle but it's worth it. The Pirellis are above-average in the snow but still can get squirrely, especially in hard-packed powder or icy conditions. (They're superior in deep powder...

Yeah one of my complaints is that there are only two trips available (A/B) and no "lifetime" option. So I keep trip B as my "lifetime" odo (so I can keep track of efficiency etc.) and use Trip A for my seasonal tire changeovers, but that means I can't use anything for actual road trips. Would...

Don't get me wrong, I love the new dashboard, but I bet some Rivian PM is watching this thread muttering "I told you so" ? It's just the right amount of information to get us all speculating and second guessing and correlating instead of just trusting the truck.

Yeah, the more I think about this the more I come around to a formulation that makes some sense: Cut the Bosch quad Introduce a new quad with in-house (Enduro-derived) motors, which takes over as the flagship model (here 1000+ HP could make sense) Reorganize naming so that Ascend is the halo...

I'm not worried. I have Tony's email from last September promising a replacement. Warranty or not, if they don't honor that initial promise, I'll happily join the pitchfork brigade. In practice I'm pretty confident they'll make OG PTC owners whole. I'm less confident it will happen anytime soon...

I'm pretty skeptical on this for lots of reasons. Strategy: Rivian's entire MO right now is all about driving down price and complexity for R1, and getting R2 to market. A new upmarket SKU is a distraction from those two priorities. Not to say it won't ever happen, but happening in 2024 (before...
