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...
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...
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...
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?
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
