  1. Rivian is more tech company than car company [article]

    Interesting article on Rivian's tech: https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/rivian-is-more-tech-company-than-car-company-and-thats-a-good-thing/
  2. Rich Rebuilds drives Chinese cars

    We're moving manufacturing to India now... And software had been there for a while. This conversation will repeat in about ten years... And China definitely invested/subsidized a crapton of money in EVs 10 years ago as well as cellular because they identified them as important technologies for...
  3. Article about the 12v batteries in EVs including Rivian

    Gen2 still uses a 12V battery but they stick it under the front passenger seat. You have to unbolt the seat to get to it ?
  4. Rivian - Accident survivor & DriveCam

    Glad you have camera footage and no one was hurt. Surprised that snapped the axle..it didn't look like that much damage from the photo. It does look repairable from the photo but check with a Rivian certified body shop (their website has a list)... No need to let Rivian service look at it.
  5. Loud Screech/Squeak Coming from Rear

    Possible your hub bolts backed out...search the forum for hub bolts.
  6. Snow Mode fail - costly result

    7000 lbs...downhill. Might be better with snow socks or winter tires but 7000 lbs ..
  7. Ram CEO Says Ramcharger Is 'The Goldilocks Truck'

    But more info here: https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/autos-trucks/the-2026-ram-ramcharger-erev-gets-a-92-kwh-battery-20-5-mpg Interesting that the ICE engine directly powers the motors instead of charging the battery when it's kicked in...
  8. More apps coming to Android Automotive in a month or two

    Looks like Volvo and Polestar are getting them first: https://blog.google/feed/mobile-apps-cars-google-built-in/
  9. Installed New Gen2 R1S Megawatt Rock Sliders

    If you do this, could you also include how far out each one sticks out from the body for protection? Megawatts definitely look the sturdiest and best built FWIW. Also only one with a rear kick out.
  10. Rivian R1S Driving w/Comma AI at Dusk - Lane Selection, Stop/Go Traffic and Maintaining Lanes

    In the video, it was mentioned that it won't stop at a light without a car in front of you?
  11. RJ quote: more sensors (including radar & lidar) is a way to catch up to Tesla's camera-only autonomous driving system

    If they license Huawei's system maybe Nvidia is also trying to build a bundle of software and hardware but I don't think their system is as good as Tesla's... And no demos. I've watched Tesla FSD 13.x demos...it still scares me but the Huawei system looked much more stable...
  12. Looking to trade Model Y LR for R1S

    Chelsea is incorrect. You can go to the Rivian site and schedule a demo. I think they have a Tri now. I demo'd a dual when the Boston space first opened...
  13. Scraping noise from front left wheel

    Check for backed out bolts in the hub?
  14. RJ interview with Business Insider - Good that Elon is close to Trump

    That's one of the things I admire about RJ...takes the high road and is optimistic about the mission and avoids being goaded into a political mud slinging. He did the same in an interview last year despite multiple attempts from the interviewer who obviously wanted him to bash Musk...
  15. Stuck without drive modes.

    Found it.. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/rivian-stuck-in-conserve-mode.38727/post-704195
  16. Stuck without drive modes.

    Someone in one of the threads said pick up a trailer light wiring harness and connect it and it'll reset conserve mode after it detects it. But the latest update supposedly fixed this...sounds like yours is stuck ?
  17. More apps coming to Android Automotive in a month or two

    They've been trying to get app devs to support any size window for a while so any modern app should work fine. I suspect they'll have a curated vetted set initially but in theory most should work fine. Would be curious what hooks Rivian provides or whether that's just part of the Android Auto...
  18. More apps coming to Android Automotive in a month or two

    https://www.androidauthority.com/new-android-automotive-apps-3516416/ There should be a lot more apps later this year...
  19. Motortrend Gen2 2025 R1T Tri Max Review

    https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2025-rivian-r1t-tri-max-first-test-review Interesting that the motors overheated offroading up a steep incline ? Sounds like people should get the quad if it's only $10k more...
  20. Out of Spec Review of Pebble from CES

    I think they're targeting airstreams which are in the 100-200 range? The other EV towable RV is the lightship (sp?) and it's in the 200s. The Pebble docking setup is cool... I'd get one if I were in the airstream market and could afford it ?
