These are all first world problems aren't they?

Thoughts on why they may not be releasing the 180kWh yet. The 180 is 133% more capacity over the 135. If that equated to x number of cells, for every 3 180s they could potentially build 4 135s. I assume Rivian is going wants to maximize their volume of until builds with their initial line up of...

Speaking of options... The spare tire is also an option unless in a state that requires it. I just don't get why manufacturers are starting to consider spares optional.

I guess that may be the icing for those of you that pre-ordered very early and are willing to choose the LE

Not sure anyone has pointed it out... By process of elimination the 21" Road option wheel be standard. Rivian states if you choose Launch Edition you will get a free wheel upgrade to 20" AT or 22" Sport. So if you don't go with LE, you are gonna be paying extra for those 20" AT's.

Has anyone noticed the following statement on the Rivian Technology page? https://rivian.com/technology Does this wording lean toward "functional" rather than "capable"?

It's a regional thing. North America uses Type 1. The main difference is the AC portion of the connector. In North America, we use J1772.

I know Toyota held out for a long time but finally gave in, what was it 2018 models maybe? I wonder if there are royalties to be paid one way or another.

I would be very surprised if Rivian rejects Android Auto and Carplay. Each of these points of integration have huge user bases.

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.

@ajdelange Does the Tesla built in navigation also try to include elevation change and regenerative braking in it's calculations?

Is the planning app a GM product paired with the car?

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. Single screen...

Thread has veered off topic.

I'm very interested in Rivian's built in Navigation and how it manages optimizing charge intervals and time, inherently, on road trips and adventure travels. https://rivian.com/technology I know there are APPS for this such as ABRP and Plugshare, but I'd much rather the route be based on the...

I found it in this video, but fairly certain I've seen it in other infotainment demo mode glimpses in other videos as well. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/video-preview-of-rivians-infotainment-digital-dash-technology.8/
