At the time I ordred my 2025 R1T, I had already test drove the model and knew from tech reviews of the Gen 2 build that it was the truck I wanted to get. Placed my order the night of the test drive (late September 2024). It took 12 weeks for the R1T to be delivered. I did a custom build...
Well, the "CybertrucK" was Elon's ego stroke. But with his ADHD, he tends to "move on"; I have to agree with folks on this board that its days are numbered, but it will go quietly "...as Tesla focus and priorities" shift.
I also suspect that much like tacking them onto the Space-X contract...
IMHO... I have no issues with robotic arms handling processes like repetitive assembly and welding, but I find myself taking exception to this... drooling that the automotive executives (like Elon) seem to have about humanoid robots taking over most other assembly line tasks. All I've heard...
This has been on my wish list since getting my R1T. Would be wonderful to have a clock widget for the center console and/or the ability to increase the font size in general. I hate needing to wear bi-focal glasses when I drive.
We have USAA, and I initially used the app. During the TRIAL period, I got "Good job! You scored 98% good driving!", and I felt great about it. But as soon as it came out of TRIAL period, "Your score is 67% (this number went down consistently in the days off trial), let's give you some tips on...
That too! I thought it was just whatever is being used for an antenna. I can't get a solid lock on any of the regional stations I want to listen to. Net: I never bother to listen to FM as a result.
They replaced my 12v battery last August, so I don't think that would be the issue. I had every warning light go on and notification that none of the senors were functional along with an issue with the power steering. All of it cleared after the hard reboot. (Left steering wheel button and...
My R1T threw an error this morning and I lost my power steering (among everything else). Luckily, there is a mechanical linkage between the steering wheel and the front wheels, and I was able to hobble the vehicle out of harms way and do a hard reboot (which resolved the error). Had the R1T at...
We're dealing with the aftermath of the weekends storm; tall snow drifts, roads sort of cleared, temps no higher than (checks weather station) 20 degrees. Used about all my reserves of ice melt, and there is another storm slated to hit this weekend. Local DPW offers free sand/salt for townies...
In my experience, Apple Music through the center console does not work. It will play 2, perhaps 3 songs then stop. When that happens, no steering wheel controls function (volume, pause, track movement). With every software refresh, it will work slightly better for a week or so, and usually about...
I think Rivians UHF function will evolve... slowly.
I actually used it the other day to drive from our home to Providence RI. I was impressed that when we came to the Interstate interchange, i just signaled to move from the middle lane to the left lane going into the exit ramp from I-195 to...
I don't get this. All, and I mean ALL I hear about is how VW is in dire financial straits. Layoffs in the European plants, plant closings, consolidating product lines, etc. Where in the Hell are they getting all these billions of dollars from?
Yeah, no. More AI slop being passed around as fact.
FSD 3-month trial subscription expires at the end of this month my husbands 2026 Model Y. He's not buying the renewal subscription for it. I've documented my experiences (as a passenger) with the app; it's... anxiety producing... to say...
We have a comprehensive solar rig on our home that includes 18kW of battery storage. We had a snow storm last weekend that actually knocked power out in our neighborhood for about an hour, and our home used about 10% of the stored energy. That was the first such outage we have encountered...
And folks, those are TURKEYS not VULTURES. My neighbor had a black sedan. The male turkeys would strut up to the doors, see their reflection, and begin attacking...
I'd like to see 100,000 miles (or more!) on my R1T. A little over a 10th of that right now after 1 year.
But, much like my experiences with Ford, GM, Stellantis (Chrysler) and Honda products; I feel like I am still in the "honeymoon" stage with a "Brand-E-New!" vehicle that has not offered...
