To some perhaps, but my wife for example is very smart but has No Concept of oil changes or what or where transmission fluid is or goes. And on the other hand shouldn't there be a fail safe? I mean you used to have to prime a Diesel if you ran it out of fuel too
But without knowing more of...

I also think that the 15k # seems Absurdly low and means Rivian would out pace Ford for 2022.
RJ “might” be a good engineer but his team’s business acumen is substandard imho. Communication, Pricing Gate, ILL Prepared Supplies to build 50k units all...
Hopefully I’ll see it a a few weeks. First thing is to see how it holds up in a drag race with the R1T.
I like that the R1T doesn’t feel like I’m driving a truck in most instances.
I have nothing to compare for 0-60 times. Sixty foot times for the ICE’s were slightly worse to slightly better from a R1T estimated Sixty Foot time of 1.8 seconds. Turbo’s launched smoothly and slower but made it up on the big end.
I get what you are saying but the point is that the software isn’t letting it launch with anything close to full power imho. And then dials the power back down at the top. I’d like to have all 835 horses available to my right foot. Kind of like the automatic vs manual argument. The auto is...
Built a Ford Lightning, Turbo’ed a Silverado SS, and a couple of Supercharged LT powered Sierra’s. All of which had faster 1/4 mile et’s and substantially better trap speeds. No idea on the 0-60’s but the launches were definitely more violent
I’d like it if Rivian would open up the accelerator from 0-20 and @ 100+ as it feels like the output is limited by programming. It’s fast but not the fastest truck I’ve owned and with 835 hp the trap speed is “artificially” ? Low. Wondering if HP Tuners has plans to add support (j/k)
My experience has been the native Rivian Map app is several generations behind when it comes to showing actual availability of existing chargers. I stopped using it because it is missing so many charging stations. Perhaps I’ve missed a major update but the current usability is more inline with...
Being an early adopter definitely has drawbacks. I ran into similar problem but a hard reset fixed it for me. My experience with Rivian service was positive. My truck was having issues with the handshake with ZEF chargers local to me, and the only 50kw DCFC’s close enough. Good luck to you, let...
Thanks, Basically I believe the truck is using my historical average by mode to convert to MPH. So it is factoring In those variables for the most part. Unless of course the weather drops 30-40 degrees, which does happen in MN.
For me it’s just a distance thing. Some days are 20 mile days some...
For me I think it's a nice feature but I don't appreciate the automation. I'd rather set it and forget it vs. getting to a stoplight or my parking spot and having the truck go up or down. Or at least limit it to a single step transition in "All Purpose & Conserve" modes. I hope it's one of those...
I drive xyz miles per day and don't see a reason for (me) to add the conversion of Kwh's into it. I know what a 50kw or 350kw charger will provide in MPH's. And Kwh and Mph are both just measures of the charge speed. So for me I'm just looking for the best estimate of time required to cover a...
