Drove past a new Tesla Model X Plaid today, still had temporary plates. The panel gapping around the trunk was surprisingly bad. I thought they had that under control by now.

One of the really scary things we’ve experienced using Driver+ is how it handles Toll Roads here in California. Our tolls roads don’t have booths. Everything is handled via camera rigs above the freeway. There is no slowing down. Traffic maintains full speed you blast under the cameras and they...

Pro Tip, learn how to take vehicle out of “Hold” when going thru an automated car wash. Putting the vehicle into neutral doesn’t take the car out of “hold” ….

we only had the R1S for 3 days before getting the most recent update. So can’t comment on how much it really improved. our comparison is what we are used to driving before getting the R1S. Lexus RX, Highlander, and F150. All “ride” substantially better and are more comfortable for passengers...

We are very underwhelmed and disappointed in the R1S ride. It is bad. It is absolutely a different driving experience than the R1T. The R1S drives like an after thought. Our experience is in line with the professional reviews.

As an R1S owner the ride is still horrible. It’s disappointing hearing the comments from friends and family who we are excited to take on rides comment on bouncy and unsettled it drives. Really hope Rivian can address with updates but fear it’s a hardware issue.

yes. It’s random. Sometimes it works fine. Sometimes it’s just slow and sometimes it doesn’t load at all. I have an iPhone 14.

We had a Mercedes B-class Electric for 3 years. One of the things I loved was the paddle shifters that instantly cycled through Regen levels. There was High, Medium, Low and then “Auto”. I’m surprised more companies haven’t introduced an auto Regen setting. It was brilliant because it...

The problem with the fob is you must press the buttons. I enjoy carrying a fob as well. But I’m used to throwing it in my pocket or backpack and walking up to a car and it unlocking when I touch the handle. On the Rivian you must have the fob in your hand and actively press the lock / unlock...

On the Tesla site it says software upgrades are excluded from the MSRP tax price cap… edit: @astonius beat me to it

Possible to cover with black sticker vs removing? I wouldn’t want to risk leaving a mess in the visor. Would lean towards finding black microfiber sticker and cover.

This doesn’t make sense to me. The proof of insurance we provided expired the day after we picked up our R1S. I talked to my guide about it, expecting it was going to be an issue and he said it didn’t matter. His response was Rivian only cares it’s insured the day it’s driven off the lot. We...

yes. We do this most of the time. But even Sport lowest isn’t as low as kneel. And it’s a few extra steps.

Ive tried to lock the vehicle from the inside and then shut the door and Rivian doesn’t support it. All the doors will lock except for the one you are using to get out after locking. For example, I’ve leaned in from the drivers door, hit the lock button and then shut the drivers door, and all...

Sorry don’t have more scientific numbers, but this is how it works for us. We live in Southern California (SDG&E). Have a 2,900 sq ft home. Run a/c ~5-10 days per year. We don’t use lights/much electricity during the day. Our solar panels generate 11.5MWh of energy per year. The solar panels...

Makes a HUGE difference if the vehicle is in kneel mode. One big issue is our R1S won’t kneel in the driveway (which isn’t even sloped “that” much). In kneel mode medium to large dogs have no problem. In normal or even low setting it’s difficult for a dog if they don’t have above average jumping...

If only they made a 7 seat performance model Y.

Any word on what’s coming in the next update?
