There's a reason they made a change to no longer allow employees to open the internal delivery portal until proof of payment has been uploaded (I know this because I left my check at home on delivery day LOL)... Many orphans due to finances falling through.
Sorry for your loss (named trucks are persons, right?).. glad no humans were injured in making of that video! Really goes to show why R1 gets top safety picks all around.
Agree, with PPF, Rivian optimized for efficiency/cost and not quality/durability. Stencils are fine, and the only option for DIY, however the margin they leave uncovered inevitably becomes a trap for dust/dirt. Indeed, extra care is needed to keep it from peeling!
Yeah the factory tunnel door and Front PPF have both been disappointing, mine started peeling within a month. IMO if you don't wrap the edges it's not really worth the $$$$.
- Better navigation system with OFFLINE MAPS, Google/Waze routing, optional toggles for info like altitude, compass heading, gps coordinates, breadcrumbs, and waypoints. ?
There are pros and cons to both vectoring and lockers.. at 60Hz it has the potential to modulate power in real time better than any driver, especially in dynamic conditions.. the lockers allow the driver to take advantage of anticipation and feedback (seeing what's ahead and feeling which part...
Not necessarily--regular deep/rapid discharging/charging, storage at extreme temps, prolonged non-use at high/low SoC--these factors matter more than battery age, esp Lithium-based one.
A local detailer recommended Black on Black by Chemical Guys. I haven't tried, but the man swore it's the best thing on the market for those black plastic bumpers.
Interesting. Higher production likely means many more orphans, and most of those end up in the Shop. Delivery in 2 weeks implies orphans already delivered to a service center. That means only people already with Shop access located near that SC will be able to claim that vehicle, limiting the...

By the time you get to the Digital Purchase Process (fka 8-steps), you should have definitely gotten a guide assigned. They will be your main point of contact to communicate with internal teams like Finance, Insurance, etc. CS should be able to hook you up with a guide.
I accidentally plugged in the old 16GB thumb drive and it gave me an error saying I need to replace the drive, but no mention of minimum storage requirement.. ?
You want the ugly truth?
- IRS is still using COBOL systems from 70's to process some taxpayer records. They have to bring this one person out of retirement for consulting because everyone else who knows the systems are dead.
- NASA is still using excel spreadsheets as databases.
- Many...
Also wondering how much weight can each mounting point support ?
I have some scuba tanks that I would like to strap to the bedside in vertical position...
