Im in a similar situation. Picked up my Gen 1 R1S in December 2023 and am curious what exactly is not being pushed to the Gen 1s. Some of the updates for Gen 2 sound fun but, at least for me, the novelty of them will wear off quickly. (As in “these go to 11”.)
Does anyone remember the specific context of the comment about future preconditioning of motors/battery in launch mode: was it for both G1 and G2 or only for G2?
? none of my carsick passengers have taken me up on my offer to let them drive (really, just one person, once).
I’m addicted to one-pedal driving with high regen. It makes off-roading all the more enjoyable.
While bouncy and messy at 30 mph on choppy roads, my R1S more than makes up for it in all other driving modes. Once an OTA update fixes the wagglelyness on choppy pavement, I think the ride would pretty much ideal. I feel like all I do is sit in traffic all week so I really only pay attention to...
Yes. And as other vehicle manufacturers implement point-to-point driving systems, drivers of those other vehicles will too.
Tesla was first on base for making point-to-point driving available for the masses. That is an accomplishment. But treating FSD as a taxi service with drivers falsely...
Regardless of where FSD and Driver+ are today, I really hope this is the future. The attentiveness (specifically the lack thereof) is what we are challenged with - outside the car or inside. It doesn’t matter. Society has tried to get people to pay attention while driving yet the number of...
Thanks for the heads up. And love the name of your truck! My truck’s name is R1Stor. Continually having to explain “Double Snow Seven” wasn’t much fun.
I like my Rivian because it improves my language. Getting into and out of my other vehicles ends up with me swearing at how cramped each is or how messed up my back will be from sitting in them.
Driving on paved roads is not what I enjoy most about the truck. Driving on crappy fire roads and...
I resemble that remark.
To whom it may concern: getting into a “my high beams are brighter” kerfuffle with the person opposite you at a light is not a good way to win friends and influence people. Especially the spouse and kids who have memories like elephants.
Alas, I do miss chatting with my old mechanic buddies when I would fill up the tank of the old beast. Now, stopping by just to chat seems weird. Maybe time to just stop by to clean the windows.
Was the non - air horn option desired because of the shorter air horn usage time ? 5 seconds or so?
When I want to sit on my horn, I want to sit on my horn for more than 5 seconds (not literally, figuratively). I do not believe I can literally sit on the horn.
This thread reminds me of joke about how OPEC keeps making profits:
Reporter: how do you handle competition from electric vehicles?
OPEC spokesperson: Easy. Repeat this pattern.
Year 1: high gas prices - start of interest in EVs
Year 2: high gas prices - more interest in EVs
Year 3: high gas...
