Had a free afternoon so checked out the OC auto show in Anaheim Convention Center. Sorry no images as I was feeling bit clusterphobic with all the people crowding every vehicle on the floor. There are so many choices for SUV for less than $70K, albeit not BEV (except EV9). I can see why people...

Does Rivian implementation allow for multiple people with different Apple Music accounts (same household) change users, like one can on AppleTV? There is no user ID assignment to the driver, or at least so it seems. If there is, I am not aware of it. It would be great to be able to have...

Just got notified that this is available and ordered. Once they get here, I'll post some images installed in the vehicle. I currently have 3DMaxpyder cargo liner that I'm replacing. They've told me that they are also making 2 piece lower tailgate protector to match soon. I have G1 and have...

Just completed round trip from south OC to the Bay Area - 956 miles. Probably 100 miles in city driving conditions (spent time in San Fran and San Jose) It was the typical up and down drive, meaning that up and back Interstate 5 through the Grapevine and the Central Valley, cut across towards...

After seeing several requests for borrowing an adapter for a road trips, wouldn’t it be great if Rivian had an inventory of their adapters that they can rent out for fee? Maybe something like $5~$10/day? Or $40~$50/week? You can pick it up and return at the Hub.

Ok accessory people, there is nothing like it out there today. When I used to race open wheel (FF) years ago, I used to put tare-away layer on my helmet shield to clear my vision (usually oil and other fluids from the cars in front). I'm sure you know what I am talking about. This weekend, I...

Looks like VW Rabbit, Dodge Omni and so on... And 1980 VW Rabbit

Total float is roughly 680M shares. During the two days after the earnings call, roughly 320M shares turned over or roughly 50%. Those still holding on probably are taking wait and see or that they still believe in Rivian; hence, small recovery over the last couple of days, including today so...

According to the story, Wagoneer S EV to start delivery in early 3Q, with Recon in 4Q. "...Jeep claims the Wagoneer S will be “lightning fast,” packing 600 hp for a 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3.5 seconds." and "The Recon will be a “rugged and fully capable electric SUV” inspired by the off-road Jeep...

This article explains how the testing is done. Insight into why the EPA range and actual range differ so much for most EVs (ICE too but this is focused on EVs). https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/01/heres-how-the-epa-calculates-how-far-an-ev-can-go-on-a-full-charge/ "How does the US...

If the vehicle leaves at 100% (or very close to), a round trip of roughly 280 miles, according to the map, doable in 30 deg F~40 deg F? There is also significant amount of elevation change in both direction. I think in the summer, its not an issue but this time of the year, it feels bit dicey...

Has anyone gone from LA/OC to Quartzite AZ RAN without a charging stop? Then from Quartzite RAN to Sedona RAN without a charging stop? (either via Prescott or Phoenix area) Mileage wise, no issue but elevation wise the roads look not too bad. Still, not clear, since I am not very familiar...

These images were taken from the event last night. Rivian has done a great job restoring and transforming the old theater to a wonderful community event/Rivian venue. The company had most of their executive team along with many employees. It was a 3 hour event with open bar and appetizers. I...

When we had a XC90, I thought it would be great to have one of these. We sold the vehicle before we got one. On our way back from our last roadtrip, we sat on the tailgate and ate our lunch while the vehicle was charging. Would have been great to have had a table like this for the R1S. Not...
