With as clever as Rivian is, I can see them adding the wiper and then adding a locking mechanism so that when the window is down, it deactivates the ability to use the wiper. Doesn't seem like it would be that hard to build/program.
I personally think they will have a NACS to CCS adapter they will give at the time of delivery....it only makes sense. With the CCS to NACS adapter giveaway slowing down, they can easily ramp up the other way (NACS to CCS) and at time of delivery of the R2S, R3's, they will be ready.
We have...
I know the motto of Rivian is "Be Adventurous" and take the truck off road, but for the life of me I just can't. I spent to much money on our truck to risk it getting damaged. Am I missig out on adventure?....I don't think so. If my wife and I decide togo off road, we will take our RAV4 Prime...
Why don't they paint the EV stalls a bright color with the words EV painted as well. Install a sensor on the charging station that senses when a vehicle is parked in that stall and if they don't start the charge in a min. or 2, it says "You are parked illegally, please move".
I know CODgman...
what are your thoughts on a AWD single motor?. That will satisfy the weekend warriors that mainly do city driving but need it for the mountain trips.
I can see a Dual motor being the first offering. I have the Gen1 R1T with quad motor and I couldn't see myself going to anything lower than quad...
I don't know if you are a Dream Theater fan (they are prog metal). Their new album is amazing and uses Dolby Atmos technology. I invite you to listen to the third song on their new album "Parasomnia", the song is called "A Broken Man". About a minute into the song there is talking and the first...
Its just a thing. We have a Silver and Black RAV4 Prime and I named it "Millenium Falcon". Our R1T is named LAPIS (the wife named it), because LAPIS is a blue stone and our R1T is blue.
Naming the vehicle kinda' gives the vehicle its own personality. It is better than "Bob's Truck"
Hasn't been pushed to ours yet. The only thing in this update I am looking forward to is the "chime" so when the car in front moves, it will let me know.
The other features.....meh. I am waiting for the messaging feature to be added.
The NFC is probably locked or it has some special encryption that only Rivian can access. I use to play with NFC tags and even though I could read the data, I couldn't change it. Try scanning the back page of your passport....you will see the information, but you can't do anything with it.
Love my Gen1 R1T but I don't care what vehicle you have, taking your hands off the wheel for long periods of time is not smart.
I am not an old fuddyduddy but when I took drivers traininng back in 1980, the instructer said to me "never take your hands off the wheel". I know that was a time...
Its only expensive when you don't need to charge.....when you do.....that is cheap.
I haven't charged at a public charger since Nov. 2023, only charge at home and work.
I laugh at all the people that are selling their "Teslas" in protest. I may or may not agree with Elon (or any CEO of a company), but I wouldn't cry boo hoo because of their political beliefs. IF that was the case, I would be homeless and starving and naked becaus pretty much there could be a...
