  1. 9 days into ownership r1s trimax, not impressed

    I don’t think that is correct. You can’t even tell the heat pump is on in a Kia. No sound at all from inside the cabin. Outside, it’s way quieter than an ac on an ICE car.
  2. Rivian work week reduced to 2-3 days until inventory comes down

    The current chaos (super nice way of phrasing it) doesn’t help anyone. Hope it doesn’t kill industries…
  3. Rivian work week reduced to 2-3 days until inventory comes down

    Sure. But inventory doesn’t pile up in 48 hours. After all, Rivian said it produced 14,611 vehicles at its manufacturing facility in Illinois and delivered 8,640 vehicles during the last quarter. That’s 500 cars a week piling up.
  4. 9 days into ownership r1s trimax, not impressed

    Is there a reason we cannot test drive the car you are about to purchase before you purchase it? Just seems crazy to me.
  5. Rivian work week reduced to 2-3 days until inventory comes down

    If high inventory is the reason for idling. It’s not a tariff issue. It’s a demand issue.
  6. Door handles funny behavior

    đź’Ż The novelty of retracting door handles wore off in 2017
  7. Battery drain and wind noise

    Yes. This is also true for Kia, Chevy, Nissan, etc…
  8. Q1 2025 Rivian Production & Delivery Figures: 14,611 Produced / 8,640 Delivered

    Ooof. Down quite a bit from last year. I guess we didn’t see the uptick due to Tesla backlash - but likely as we said because the markets do not overlap. 36% decline in deliveries for a growth company is kinda bonkers. Playing the $10-13 bounce up and down on the stock has been a solid play...
  9. Milage battery range increase?

    When taking trips that are mostly highway, which kill efficiency, I find myself wanting a 450-500mi range battery. This way, I don’t have to charge. If I am going to be at 2.1 mi/kwHr and I want to do a 300mi trip, that’s a lot of battery I need. A 150-160kwhr battery would be great.

  11. Just saw Rivian R1S burning on 101 Brokaw

    Especially in SJ where 25% of cars are EVs!
  12. New CAO (Chief Accounting Officer) Hired by Rivian

    This is a totally reasonable package. In fact, I’d say it’s cheap.
  13. New RAN pricing?

    I find that EVgo and others are consistently cheaper than RAN.
  14. Rivian Patent - Creating Offroad maps with Vehicle Data

    Got it. You showed the abstract which has no patent weight, so was just curious. Thanks for the info.
  15. Rivian Patent - Creating Offroad maps with Vehicle Data

    I don’t think it’s a patent. Maybe an application? What’s the patent number?
  16. Reminder: Rivian Promised Level 3 "Eyes Off the Road" Autonomy on Gen 1

    This language can only get Rivian so far. For example, they can’t say the car gets 400 miles per charge and then have it turn out that people can only get 200. This language usually addresses issues on the fringe.
  17. VW offering severance packages to employes over 56

    There is nothing illegal with offering older employees a voluntary retirement package.
  18. Rivian - Accident survivor & DriveCam

    The DRUNK/UNDER INFLUENCE SUV driver…
  19. Rivian headlights at night in snowstorm = zero visibility

    My ford and Honda let me turn on only the fog lights. In fact, I just did this last week while up in the mountains skiing. Headlights were too bright, but fog lights were great.
