that's just at the point of charging. there's also downloading the app, setting up an account, keeping payment details up-to-date over time, remembering to cancel the subscription at the end of the month, etc, etc. The few dollars I would save isn't worth the hassle for the few road trips I take...

If it works for your dog, a MIM Variocage Double XL looks like it should fit in the R2 based on your measurements. I've got the Double XXL+ in my R1S for our 2 ~65 lb GSDs.

You'd think, right? But people buy those brands for the look-at-me exclusivity and the luxury/performance features and willingly accept that the vehicles are going to have a higher cost of maintenance, require more routine maintenance, and have more unexpected problems.

Personally, I am more than willing to pay a premium for the simplicity and convenience of plug-and-charge. The fewer apps I have to deal with for charging the better. But I only take road trips a few time per year, I don't charge at Tesla on a regular basis.

I think what the OP was reasonably suggesting is that the Rivian was displaying a misleading error message so perhaps more than just a Tesla issue.

it honestly boggles my mind that people equate higher price with higher reliability. the higher price is the result of higher complexity which inherently leads to lower reliability.

When I'm on a road trip, I plan where to charge based on convenience not cost (where to eat/sleep and, of huge importance to me, support for plug-and-charge). Charger reliability scores and availability factor in to a lesser degree (which has resulted in my now having several preferred...

yeah, just noticed I've got another .07.0 update available for install. different build hash but it is odd they didn't increment the version.

sorry, not following. you want me to tell you how software would fix what exactly? I mean, software is always the fix for a software bug. My previous point is that you appear to be too literally interpreting a sticking door as a hardware problem which is not what the release notes are intending...

geez people. have you never been stuck at home on a snowy/icy day? they mean "sticking" in the sense that the door is unable to be opened not that there is physical binding preventing it from opening. perhaps not the best choice of words but far from a load of BS intending to misrepresent.

cost and complexity with no benefits and at least one drawback. plus, the majority of drivers would complain and turn it off simply because they don't want to change how they drive.

let's not conflate concepts here. maintaining existing functionality over the expected lifetime of the vehicle is a completely different problem than retrofitting new capabilities into older models to "keep a unified experience" over time. there should be no expectation that a 2023 model will...

"a continuously evolving product..." within the limits of the existing hardware. The need for additional sensors, compute capacity, interconnect bandwidth, etc is fundamentally going to require a hardware upgrade (ie, a new vehicle) at some point.

I don't see Rivian in this fiction as a symbol of greed and selfishness but rather as an instrument of greed and selfishness. I mean, in an environment like Paradise, BEVs are a logical choice if not an absolute necessity.

yeah... let me just run right out and buy an Apple device to read this story. 🤣

there will be ups and downs, just like any marriage. but if they are truly committed, they will work through the challenges.

it's not just the cash but also the supply chain benefits (access to VW suppliers, economies of scale with vehicles beyond Rivian using the hardware).

The pictures I've seen show grab handles. 🤷‍♂️

When you expect spaghetti squash to taste like spaghetti the pasta, you are going to be sorely disappointed. But when you accept spaghetti squash for what it truly is and quit trying to pretend it is something it is not, it is quite tasty in its own right. Charging on a road trip is a different...

that's because slamming the door isn't the root cause.
