Glad to know where my money is going......WTF. Now, if it was integrated to send a diagnostic report when something goes wrong, like you can do sometimes with phones/computers, now that would be interesting (but still wouldn't want it front and center).

To be fair, he goes on to explain that all these Aux buttons are editable for the icon you want. Someone clearly applied the wrong one here, but it wasn't GM.

He didn't say the same here because GM guy was riding shotgun.

I'd say Rivian's air down is a better implementation, because you just set it to the PSI you want and it automatically stops. You can walk away or whatever, no need to wait for the horn. Same thing for airing back up. Also, for what it's worth, my 2013 Infiniti SUV has the same horn sound...

Somewhere I saw a screenshot of the Driver+ menu and it's just like any system on any vehicle. You can turn it all off, turn certain aspects off, etc.

Given that the email with delivery windows went out in late November, I don't think there is any reason they would have given him any kind of ambiguous window and then significantly beat it when the delivery was only a couple weeks away. Nor is it an indication that they would continue...

Yeah, that's criminal journalism. The AAA study is from 2014.............when the two data points were the Nissan Leaf and early Tesla's without heat pumps or any other alternative tech (probably just resisive heat?). They may as well have cited a study showing how I can only run 20 yards in...

This will probably also be a focus of Munro's tear down, so it will be interesting to hear his thoughts. However, for my money, you don't reinvent the wheel to perform worse than the status quo. It may not be materially better performance wise, but I'd be shocked if they patented a new design...

Yes, that's correct and all they ever said it would be to start. The difference is it will get better whereas your Subaru will not. What you describe is also not much different than anyone else outside of FSD Beta in terms of functionality. There are certainly differences in how each performs at...

They've already said that their strategy is the former, similar to their existing ICE strategy. If they were to make it today/near future, I'd expect it to be: 250+/- mi range - they have less space to work with due to size and would probably try to leverage the existing platform further...

Yep, I just wanted to remind everyone of that because it seemed to be a debate about how they could have overlooked having one.

Stop trying to solve the puzzle that's already been solved is my point.

I thought we had evolved past all this, we all know exactly what to expect. Why do you need to know one single person's preorder date, when Rivian has already given you your own personal delivery window? It doesn't matter if his was Nov 2018 or Nov 2021, it's useless information other than for...

I think we need to differentiate between service and repair. Your Tesla does not need service that frequently, it needs repair which is indifferent to EV/ICE. What people mean regarding service is the following with prices from the service I just had on my Infiniti JX35: Oil Changes ($132)...

They are behind Rivian and most everyone else in terms of scaled manufacturing and supply chain of EVs. The supply chain specifically is why they have been so resistant, because of political pressure. The Japanese economy is highly dependent on local suppliers to the big automakers there, and...

FYI, not sure if anyone saw this updated info/article, but Rivian formally responded to the heat pump question. Long story short, it wasn't a cost saving measure, it was an intentional alternative design decision that hopefully removes a possible maintenance issue by not introducing a new...

Well yeah, but we're just talking about the relative difference in reservations I thought and opinions on what they are what they are. But yes, Ford knows their customers actually want to take delivery in a reasonable timeframe so they cut them off. Tesla knows theirs don't care and the bigger...

Toyota makes great, long lasting ICE cars. We have no idea what their capabilities are making an EV. That's why this transition is so disruptive, it obliterated decades of built-up competitive advantage from the legacy makers. Toyota is a fledgling start up EV maker with a 2023 proof of concept...

Yeah, but that's not what the Lightning is. The base Lightning is still a 4 door Supercrew (only cab config option). Even if they know they aren't buying the $40k version, they surely might think they are buying a $50k version. Adjusting for tax credits, the price is not much different than they...

That's correct. And the holidays are a busy time with distracted eyes and ears. I also don't expect the R1S to get quite as much media/review coverage, because it's 90% the R1T so there isn't much to review. If it's now finalized, I'd expect them to want to restart the media wave come January or...
