  1. ? Rivian App Deep Dive Preview: A Breakdown of Future Services

    So... if I get a COVID-19 booster while sitting in my new Rivian will the government pay for both?? /S
  2. Lack of Android Auto / Waze is a reason to cancel

    The difference in audio quality between Bluetooth and non Bluetooth is noticeable to my girlfriend who is definitely NOT an audiophile. It drives me bonkers. Some will care, some will not; but a lot more people can notice the difference than you are suggesting. Just a matter of whether they care...
  3. Rivian technical nuggets gleaned from EPA application docs

    Guessing the hard likely reality of cold weather range. I don't think this is new for EVs but seeing the numbers makes it more real. I would be using my R1S for long distance snowboarding trips; this is a reminder that especially in cold and if snow, range remains king. Will the larger pack R1S...
  4. Rivian technical nuggets gleaned from EPA application docs

    Yeah I caught that too, said Rivian engineer said 0.3 and that they had done extensive wind tunnel testing. Can't remember which review, I watched too many lol. Still word of mouth though...

  6. FOREST GREEN R1T Photos

    Is there any metallic sparkle to forest green when it is in the sun? Sometimes I think there is, then other pictures make it look flat. Anyone seen it in person?
  7. Is there any real advantage to having the 5 seat configuration?

    And don't forget the kids' friends, when they want to bring a couple along. It's a big win when the only reason to say no is lack of seating space in one vehicle. On the other hand, if you don't like the grandparents or the kids' friends, the 5 seater might be quite attractive...
  8. Latest Time Estimate for Launch Edition - via chat with Rivian 9/21/21

    He was not blaming the technology. Simply said adaptive cc wasn't his preference. And I can appreciate and understand his point of view even though it is not mine. Without calling him stupid, subtly demeaning him by saying he is failing to take accountability, or telling him he is a bad driver.
  9. Latest Time Estimate for Launch Edition - via chat with Rivian 9/21/21

    I had a similar experience with a rental and didn't like it. Until I learned you can adjust the follow distance, and how to simply change lanes when I am at that follow distance so it doesn't slow me down. With the shortest follow distance selected, I now love it and wish my old vehicle had it.

    I agree the pony/horse is past dead, it is in the frozen leftover french soup at this point. The post from @BigE about Kyle is the first new info we've had in here in many pages. That said, I come to the same conclusion as before. A media outlet running an opinion piece complaining about being...
  11. Rivian R1T OWNERS MANUAL Guide is here! ?

    Sheesh, quite the back and forth on this topic between "smart" people. As a non-"smart" person, I'll just add my (useless) anecdote. I have never owned an EV, but I have test driven a couple Tesla's and an ID.4. I played around with regen levels in each vehicle. It took me about 30 seconds to...
  12. Rivian R1T OWNERS MANUAL Guide is here! ?

    I didn't see anything in the manual either about this. Would be nice, and likely could be pushed via OTA if not included at delivery, if on Rivian's short list. That said, as someone who grew up in the city I kinda enjoy giving a master class in parallel parking when I go out. When I have a...

    By the time they get touch ID back in the iPhone we'll be done wearing masks (let's hope...) and we'll all be wondering why it's back. But maybe in our next pandemic we'll all be wearing gloves, so ??‍♂️ Though as a health care worker who is frequently in the operating room and wears a face...
  14. Driver+ Limitations

    Remember also that RJ specifically said that they will be using data from customer vehicles to map roads. So hopefully that translates into rapid expansion of all the Driver+ functions as cars get delivered.

    I may be one of the few that actually likes this. I had a depressed teenager with thoughts of throwing herself out of a moving car. Too easy for her to flip the child lock on the door side, had me always double checking. This would have been a life saver. Fringe use case, I know... Edit: yes...

    That was my exact thought! Someone probably got a chuckle putting that in there.
