I have previously conceded my ignorance with investing - hence I stick to my retirement funds. That said, I not opposed to purchasing stock in a company that I believe in (in the early 2000's I did quite well with RHAT - since I used it every day. sold RHAT when it hit ~$100). I like what...

I hope Rivian can be transparent with the investigation/root cause and preventative measures to prevent recurrence (IR/CAPA). This would provide some confidence to those of us waiting for our deliveries that we are not purchasing something like the Chevy bolt. Either way, it seems Friday was a...

I am really hoping to hear the production numbers for the R1S. Communication has really dried up.

OMG, that is the worst drag strip I have seen on a car review channel. It is possibly even dangerous to use that track for testing. Either way, great to see (the predictable) outcome of R1T beating the TRX (it was beaten on paper even before the race).

I didn't say Android Auto app, I said Android Automotive (I previously posted something regarding the difference between them). GMC implements Android Automotive features in a heavily customized way and some manufacturers have added this capability to their cars. Streaming apps would only work...

Driver HUD - ✔️ Android Automotive (tons of apps ) - ✔️ 400 miles of range - ✔️ Price - ❌ Styling - ✔️ Performance - ✔️ Overall, great EV pickup and very practical. I am really excited to see their luxury SUV when finally released. Loved this video:

What I really like about The F-150 and the Silverado is that for the customer, upon taking delivery, the will have a superior Assistant/AI , a vast option of multimedia apps (including Netflix if they want) and full Integration of maps , calls and messages on their phone as well as their car -...

New map capabilities with charging station and battery info as well as some other cool new features coming out for Android Automotive: A Look at the Next-Generation Version of Google Maps. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/a-look-at-the-next-generation-version-of-google-maps-178056.html For...

I removed the link. People can find it on their own. Just so you know, the Google form was from https://s00n.rivianstories.com/feed. From the guys that run the YouTube channel Rivian Stories.

I ordered my R1S in mid-September 2021 , unfortunately my delivery window is saying first half of 2023. Based on the (easier to track and more accurate) Google form that another-great-forum had, other persons who ordered at a similar time actually got 2022 delivery dates. As I mentioned on this...

In addition to my other list above I would like to see the option for a HUD - though I suspect this would require them to swap out the existing windshield and add activation buttons to the control panel/screen.

I am hoping they release the following: 1) Running boards 2) For the hook and USB port on the back of the headrest of the front seats - an adaptor and connector to securely and neatly mount a tablet/screen. 3) Passenger side door inset/pop-out umbrella 4) Retractable screen for panoramic...

I have always thought that Rivian (a new car company) is missing a major opportunity by not supporting Android Auto (and Car play). Google is providing significant feature updates to AA which leverage it's powerful AI Assistant and integration with messaging/collaboration and media apps on the...

The (OTA) fixable TPM issue is not a concern for me. My big concern is that this is the second time a review mentioned the poor quality of the cameras in this 2022 (model year) car. If they intend to use these low(er) resolution cameras for some form of autopilot this seems like it would be a...

Love this guy's reviews. His enthusiasm is really cool to watch - reminds me of a Mitchell and Webb sketch:

Every delivery van Keeping HVAC effective/efficient seems challenging in a vehicle where you have large doors that open every few minutes. A related issue is that the drivers I have seen leave their door open (including the cargo door) while they deliver (one or more) package to every address...

Depending on how long Volvo takes to deliver the EV XC90 it might actually be better for me to switch to that model than keep waiting for the ever shifting date for my R1S.

The doors work by you kindly asking HAL (*sorry, Alexa) to open them for you - be warned, the passive aggressive bastard may choose not to open them if it suspects you want to disable it (or you want to stop membership payments). Either way, Good Luck! ?

This is extremely disappointing especially if you consider the likelihood that a significant number of "customers" are actually employees. Employee deliveries do not count as they are not going to be openly criticizing the company (or products of that company) that they work for. I have a R1S...

Considering the significant price increases of Tesla over the last two years for the Model X (and others), I hope that Rivian will push to get their deliveries done as quickly as possible. I am sure Rivian is aware of the coming competition in the premium EV space (especially for the R1S - which...
