Now imagine paying 10 dollars every month for LTE in 2025! For a cellular modem built in 2019? Your smartphone will provide so much more bandwidth!
Would you buy an iPhone 9 in 2023?
Why would anyone pay 10 dollars to use the touchscreen?
If its bundled in with charging perks, road side...
Is it confirmed that maps, streaming audio etc will not work without LTE?
can you not just connect your car to your phone's wifi hot spot?
I know the car can be a hotspot itself with LTE, but you can connect it to home WiFi for software updates right?
Seeing everyone up in arms regarding the LTE subscription and how if you do not pay the LTE $$$ the maps and audio streaming system will not work?
Does the R1T/R1S not connect to your phone's wifi?
I know it has its own hotspot, but I think you can connect it to home Wifi for firmware updates...
Happened to me on the same~ish trip from San Diego to lake tahoe.
But I do not have my R1S yet!
Driving my jeep wrangler back from lake tahoe on Saturday after Thanksgiving!
We took a quick pit stop at the mono lake state park 7 miles north of Lee vining.
Stopped at noon and jeep never...
good to see more Forest Edge interiors getting contacted.
Buts its still moving a bit slow for me. Hope first / second week of Jan is a big push to start contacting all the Feb/March R1S estimates.
I am wondering why just that piece?
They have a version that's all plastic and no wood. Frankly I don't think Munro is giving them this type of feedback. If he is, Rivian should save some more money and fire them.
It's a lose-lose situation for them. If they make an official communication/ announcement, media will pick it up and they will have a mini repeat of last year's hike pr fiasco. If they don't, everyone with pre-order is standing in line with a pitch fork.
I personally think it's unreasonable to...
Not even about fact checking at this point! It's basic math. To their credit there is some useful info in there. Like R1S beat R1T in their range test.
It's comparing apples and oranges, both are fruits of roughly the same size.
0.7 second slower 0-60 for half the price?
I'll take that all...
2500+ r1s is good to hear! Specially after the new delivery windows. It's good to see they have not completely abandoned R1S for R1T to meet the numbers.
My guess is that the new second/third shift is only for R1S and slowly ramping. The first shift is cranking out the R1T.
Not changing the configuration does not matter. I have kept the same color, interior, wheel combination since the configuration went live. I got pushed back to Feb March.
Don't count on your April-June window to hold. New estimates coming in January 2023.
