  1. Key fob is crap

    Agree completely. This was another one of those things that didn’t need to be re-engineered. Every other manufacturer under the sun manages to provide customers a mechanism through which they can reliably and instantly lock/unlock (not to mention many other functions) from a distance and/or on...
  2. Charger sitting idle? Could make money and friends? Anyone thinking of Airbnb-modeled system for mapping/renting out private chargers for travelers?

    This is PlugShare’s original pitch, minus the costing money part Level 2 too slow to really charge for in most parts of the country imo
  3. Canceled my R1S order :-(

    If Tesla is any indication of how long it will take another new manufacturer to reach the build quality/QC of established manufacturers (though I hope it’s not), it could be well over a decade before Rivian starts competing with BMW, Range Rover, or anyone else in that regard… unfortunately...
  4. Kia EV9 All Trim Levels Pricing Released 2023-10-09

    Maybe for purchase experience, but for service… I’d argue nothing is worse than fledgling dealerless manufacturers. The wait in Seattle for a Rivian service appointment was 6 mos last time I scheduled.
  5. Kia EV9 All Trim Levels Pricing Released 2023-10-09

    I believe they’ll offer the full $7500 for lease deals from day 1 Overall a compelling offering so far, look forward to hearing more details. There’s room for many more EV models to choose from and I welcome the EV9 to the fold!
  6. R2 styling: what would you keep/discard from the R1?

    Right, but I think all of these reasons (especially the outsell everything else part) are the concise summary of why it would be idiotic for Rivian to focus resources on a wagon.
  7. R2 styling: what would you keep/discard from the R1?

    What’s the difference between a modern wagon and a modern cuv?
  8. R1S vs Model Y in mud

    You ordered the 22s; looks like you were really wanting the most adventure-capable vehicle possible!
  9. Software Update 2023.38 Release Notes ?

    A lot of gatekeeping in here. My 2 cents is that people are allowed to be disappointed in the software update just as others can be pleased with it. Or should there be no discussion? Why is this even a thread in that case? Just to be an echo chamber circle jerk? Myself, I am happy with the...
  10. Home EVSE not charging to limit or topping off

    Have been having this issue on my T since a few software updates ago. I had never used scheduled charging before. I’ve tried with and without schedules and still can’t get it to reliably top up.
  11. Polestar 3 SUV annouced, makes R1S look like a great deal!

    Sad… this is a bad sign for the chubbier and less aerodynamic EX90 that shares a platform and battery size…
  12. R1T Rollover Flipped!

    I just re-came across articles about this after reading about the Cybertruck that was spotted after a reported rollover test. Found this thread and was hoping some more information had trickled out since the original articles, but I guess not. I really don’t understand the mystery theater...
  13. Article on CEO compensation

    Exactly. Executive pay is absolutely the within the realm of reasonable concern for shareholders, employees, potential investors, etc.
  14. All purpose mode. City driving. Average speed 45-55 mph.

    45-55 average which implies this “city” actually has speed limits higher than 55
  15. Do you think EVs are eventually going to hurt exotic car brands?

    Maybe a tangent but I have often thought about how EV powertrains are a lot less unique between manufacturers when compared to ICEV… they all have instant torque, use basically the same technologies and setups. The differences between a Celestiq motor and an Equinox EV motor are miniscule...
  16. Tesla has removed the Standard Range Model X in the US and dropped prices up to 19%. The Model X is now eligible for the $7,500 EV tax credit.

    And it’s not exactly a beauty… unless you like the classic minivan shape or have an affinity for blobs
  17. Let's remove the Conserve Mode stigma

    Agreed. Something tells me @ads75 doesn’t do much adventuring with his adventure vehicle if he thinks HP is the most important number and doesn’t realize how few chargers are in remote locations.
  18. Let's remove the Conserve Mode stigma

    I thought that guidance from Rivian on using conserve mode sparingly had to do with more than just tire wear (undue stress on the front motor & related components) I suspect that, like my old Ioniq 5 in Eco mode, the dual motor uses both motors for traction e.g. when accelerating from a stop to...
