OTA updates can/should be done over WiFi.

I posted about her in the review thread, but I'll post it here. Tl:DR? She's a narcissistic hipster with a pretentious as-hell former fashion designer vintage car collector boyfriend and she has ridden his coattails into the car scene. The Bloomberg writer is Hannah Elliott. She's a generally...

The Bloomberg writer is Hannah Elliott. She's a generally obnoxious fairly knowledgeable heroin-chic gadly in the LA car scene for whom only the retro and aged is pure and "cool" - kind of like herself.

Rivian doesn't and won't manufacture their own paints. Paints are easily duplicated with color codes and color matching.

I saw an interview earlier which I believe clears this up (check out TeslaRaj's interview he did back at the beginning of 2020 with one of the engineers). The battery protection is the same on all the vehicles. The extra protection with the $2,000 package is FORE AND AFT of the battery!

That's called drift mode.

From an e-mail someone here got from a guide: "Regarding HomeLink, we will have Alexa integration. Our Alexa functionality is different because in a Rivian, Alexa can control physical vehicle functions such as HVAC, windows, opening and closing the front trunk, and more. Users will be able to...

All of the Rivians will have completely flat underbody material. This is just a stronger underbody material than the already very strong composite material.

DuckTruck did you get any videos of pavement launches? I've been lurking here for months, but finally registered! Thanks so much for being so open and posting all of this info!
