Looks like I've got the warmest or largest pack! 130.6 kwhr

I hear you, but the reason that the state offered insurance is so expensive is because they are only insuring the highest risk population.

Not on the Rivian. I actually find that on long trips, cold doesn't affect it nearly as much as I was expecting.

Shouldnt it also work with Tidal?

True, but typically there is minimal benefit to do so in the summer so companies don't spend the cash.

There are a lot of misconceptions floating around here about heat pumps. An AC is a form of heat pump. The consumer definition for a heat pump is a reversible heat pump that can move heat in both directions. Both perform roughly the same at cooling. Depending on how it is designed it can also...

How do you like the hose reel? I love the in bed compressor, but hate having to stuff the hose back in its box.

Were the new suspension updates made with hardware changes?

When they messed up the registration I called them about it and then they sent me a check for what the difference should be. The high registration fee is because they are quoting a new registration for an EV which has higher fees to recoup the loss of gas tax revenue. Rivian got confused because...

That was what I pointed out in the last software update. People screamed for more capabilities in the rear screen. When they get it people complain about how the driver can't use the rear screen so it was a waste of an update.

Do you have the Rivian home charger? When I try to use the charge scheduling feature it doesn't seem to work.

I met you at Sugarloaf Mt when you were going up to tackle that obstacle! I agree with you in it's current implementation, but do believe that a good motor control would prevent the odd behavior that you experienced. It should have enough power per wheel to move, but seems to be artificially...

[ There, fixed it for you

Man, you all are hard to please! The rear display features were mentioned multiple times during the latest Rivian Responds, yet many here are complaining that this month's progress either wasn't enough or that they changed the rear display at all!

I think interest rates are really affecting the medium luxury products like these both directly and indirectly. The target demographic just isn't looking to buy an expensive vehicle at this point for various reasons. Maybe they are being forced to move and have to accept a much higher house payment.

Anyone notice changes to maneuverability at lower speeds? Is that just referring to the throttle mapping or was it actual changes to the steering?

You mention not having off street parking. Where do you charge?

Is that 1.9 mi/kwhr an average of road trips or just day to day driving? In cold weather, short trips will typically be less efficient because the battery and cabin heating are a more significant portion of the energy use. I also assume you aren't running in conserve mode around town?

Alternatively you could have a mapping system that accurately takes those factors into account. Reserving a significant portion of the battery just for HVAC use is a very costly way to solve that issue.

You still have to pay for the battery size (cost and mass). Artificially limiting a 100 kwhr battery to use 75 kwhr is not going to charge any different than if you the consumer decide to only charge to 75% SOC with that same battery. The only difference being that you can't use that extra 25...
