  1. Colorado Checking In

    Thank you! I think they added the ability to turn off regen. I had heard it was always on. But I love regen so will keep it on.
  2. Colorado Checking In

    Everything I have heard said that there were only 2 levels of regen - normal and high. Are there more now? You didn't happen to ask about automatically going into kneel mode at certain locations, did you? Or even when stopped (I mean parked). It would be really helpful for me if it...
  3. Rivian brings on new manufacturing VP as production ramp-up continues in Normal

    I'm sorry man, I'm really not arguing for the sake of it. But I have to disagree with you on most of that. Displays are not just displays. Especially displays that are bright enough for in car use. They have to be very bright, have fairly exact viewing angles and of course have both the...
  4. Rivian brings on new manufacturing VP as production ramp-up continues in Normal

    I wasn't really talking about that, just about a comment regarding sole source agreements. Sometimes the fit isn't there. From either or both sides. I ended up asking to be demoted from manager back to individual contributor after ONE month because I wouldn't be the "yes man" that my manager...
  5. Rivian brings on new manufacturing VP as production ramp-up continues in Normal

    To add to this, this works fine for parts that are interchangeable. I know there are different types of drywall, but it is largely interchangeable. Not the same for many car pieces. Many of them are single source and always will be. The semiconductors are very likely to either be single...
  6. Current Tesla Owners: Moving to Rivian

    I also own a 2013 MS and have a reservation on an R1T. I will be selling my Subaru Baja when I get it. I do woodworking for fun and have rentals, so I need a pickup of some sort and even though the Baja is small, it meets most of my needs. My original plan was to keep my Tesla, but I am now...
  7. Another R1T crash, this one even worse. Bursts into flames @ Irvine

    I agree. I am obviously guessing, but I think that was probably the main Li battery. All the plastic on the front is gone and to my untrained eyes it looks like the outside skin on the driver's door is gone! Which I assume means melted. Not sure what the skin is, but I would guess Al or...
  8. January/Feb delivery windows

    What does that mean WRT financing? Seems like you would be running around like a chicken with its head cut off to arrange it in time - and that's best case! Worst case, you have to delay delivery for a week or more while financing is set up. I think my CU gives an approval & quote that's good...
  9. Rich Rebuilds: How Tesla is failing its most loyal customers

    I personally think the big issue with service and repair is that only Tesla can really do it. With ICE vehicles there are multiple times as many independent mechanics to choose from as dealers. So you CAN take it to a dealer, but you don't have to. Not really the case with EVs. I've need...
  10. Rich Rebuilds: How Tesla is failing its most loyal customers

    I think he was serious (I did skip through lots of that particular case study) because (for me anyway) it's excruciatingly painful to be needled like that after getting so seriously screwed over. It's actually worse than the major injury. I'm not sure why, but it hurts less to live with a...
  11. Rich Rebuilds: How Tesla is failing its most loyal customers

    This couldn't have been timed better! I dropped off my old S this morning for more repairs and it's nice to know I am not crazy in my anger & frustration at Tesla's service. I was a huge advocate for them for the first 6 or 7 years I had it, but now, I am almost certain I would not buy another...
  12. TFL goes hands on with Rivian R1T

    I'm kind of worried about how many details they got wrong and had to have the viewers correct them on. Sure, they have lots of cars all with their own set of specs to go over, but I expected they would brush up on the details before they started recording a video. Hopefully their tests will be...
  13. Rants and Raves after 2 months of Rivian R1T ownership [DISCLAIMER: Unauthorized feedback from non-owner]

    @Iwantatesla - Would you mind commenting on the defrost/defog capabilities? My R1T will have to live outside in Colorado and I am curious how well the defrost works, especially remote. Since you're in NY, I assume you've had a chance to try it out. Thanks
  14. R1T @ 3.10 seconds 0-60 makes Motortrend list of quickest vehicles of 2021

    I'd like to see the same list with a 11K Lb trailer attached! Those would be some very different times & order. :)
  15. Doug DeMuro: 2022 GMC Hummer EV

    I also am struggling choosing between the R1T, F150 Lightning & Hummer EV. I have my own spreadsheet of pros and cons for each - which I suspect looks quite a bit like yours. At first I found it frustrating to have to make such a hard choice. The last car I bought was a Model S when they...
  16. 2022 Rivian R1T review & buyer's guide by Motortrend (yes another one).

    They also said the gear tunnel door can support 400lb. When did that happen or is that another mistake by MT? I hope they are right about that one because a 250lb limit would be an issue for me.
  17. Bed Lighting

    Ah! Thanks guys! I appreciate the help.
  18. Bed Lighting

    I thought I saw a couple of pictures showing in bed lighting a while ago, but I can't find anything about it now. Neither pictures nor even posts. Is there in bed lighting in the R1T? Seems like there must be some. If there are pics, can you share links? Also, any idea how to turn it on/off...
  19. My observations from Sonoma Rivian test drive event

    Well now I am really confused about one of my big concerns - space. After reading the specs months ago this became a big question for me. Not that I need much space in the back, it's usually just my dog, but was hoping for space that would be good enough for my friends (we're all fairly tall)...
  20. Did they change the wood in Ocean Coast interior?

    Oops, took a closer look at that picture from Top Gear. That's not Ocean Coast - the pleather is green. It must be Forest green. So back to square one.
