  1. Tesla ‘Full Self-Driving’ tried to drive owner into a lake, viral video shows

    This is what actuaries and economists consider when determining societal good, or insurance rates, and the like. So far since insurance companies are charging less for using AP/FSD, we can surmise their findings of fact for the improved safety. I haven't seen any strong economist opinions on...
  2. 2026.03 Update will revamp Kneel Mode

    My tires scrape on the fender or something when in the current kneel mode and mostly or at full turn.
  3. Gear Tunnel Door Adjustments

    It seems crazy that the SC techs don't know this behavior (not popping out) is normal.
  4. Rivian is now part of Costco Auto Program 🛒

    You often need a pickup truck to haul your Costco goods home. What do you need if you're picking up a pickup?
  5. Review: I rode the ALSO TM-B E-Bike: Rivian Micromobility Startup’s First EV

    Those are common features of modern e-bikes yes. I guess that like the Rivian it will fit for a certain subset of people, like the person above for whom this seems to check every important box. I wonder how soon until Californians can hack the GPS lockout, lol.
  6. Alexa in Rivian-can this be upgraded?

    "Alexa open the front trunk" is the only thing that works 100% for me. Lighting? Nah. Tailgate? Nope.
  7. Alexa in Rivian-can this be upgraded?

    It's complete garbage, and every time they say they have improved it, it gets worse.
  8. Prospective Buyer - How Does Media from Phone Work?

    Direct Apple Music streaming is vastly better than Bluetooth. If this isn't obvious to you, I strongly recommend a hearing exam. Since the built in system is such dumb garbage, I often get reverted to music via BT instead of the last thing I was playing. Every single time I wonder what the...
  9. Is it possible to save Drive mode overrides?

    I wish my quad could automatically go into eco or AP modes as needed.
  10. Prospective Buyer - How Does Media from Phone Work?

    Even if you DO give into streaming, it's garbage unless you only just use Apple Music. Then it's mediocre on the UX, with exceptionally great sound, passable usability.
  11. Starlink for Overlanding Connectivity

    You need at least a compatible plug and wire from the switch. The Mini *can* run on 12v and some people say that's fine, but others report a problem. The common recommendation is to run a 12v to 24v or 48v converter in line. All of this is commonly available on Amazon.
  12. Heater Motor makes loud humming when turned up.

    On posts asking for tech help it's pretty important to tell us if it's gen 1 or 2, and general age. Also how long it's done this. "Heater" could mean heat pump, or not. And some early models had noisy HVAC and there was a TSB.
  13. Is it possible to save Drive mode overrides?

    What you're not understanding is that it is legally required to reset that one setting on the dual motor. It does save all other settings, and non-duals save that too. Modern ASS is not intrusive at all, don't care. I just wish my ICE backup car would remember its sport/eco setting, but that...
  14. Turn off driver display onscreen ads?

    To turn off ads, use a service that you pay for and is not ad funded. That seems obvious?
  15. RJ on CarPlay (Autoblog Post / Stratechery Interview)

    Straightforward and not giving a fuck? Maybe. I love that song too! I have a road trip today, turning CP back on, for sure.
  16. Towing 2000 lbs with R1T.

    Weight has very little effect on EV range assuming you're using regen and not the friction brakes. Gas trucks lose a lot to weight and to potential inefficiencies running them harder. Aerodynamics is the key here; that is the trailer? Even just having my light but very tall dirt bike in the...
  17. RJ on CarPlay (Autoblog Post / Stratechery Interview)

    I disabled CP for some errands today. Fun to remember what the Rivian internal garbage is like. I needed to do a title transfer, let's find DMV. I typed "Motor veh" and got junk. Did the same on Apple Maps, it showed the one closest to me, with all its info, street view photos, and...
  18. RJ on CarPlay (Autoblog Post / Stratechery Interview)

    So you don't have an objection to CarPlay, you want to attack Apple. This isn't the place for it. Your flip phone has a GPS in it too, by the way, and is being tracked. That's a mandatory legal requirement.
  19. Nav and charging - find a charger ON THE ROUTE!

    I've had it take me far out of my way to get to a charger. Seems random.
