Her comments on the UI were interesting. I wonder how much of that was impacted by the nature of the rally and it being strictly manual/paper navigation.
Ahhh the power of software. My buddy who owns a Model S told me once, "This is the only car I've ever owned that got better over time."
This would be great! Or at least strategic partnerships.
@ajdelange lol, would it surprise you that I am an EE and an Art lover?
Thank you for the comments! This is great conversation and exactly what I was hoping for.
Personal preference indeed. Time will tell I suppose.
Here are some reasons why I would prefer a Rivian solution.
