Tesla does that; the PIN entry keypad is randomly moved around the display. But as others have pointed out that probably isn’t necessary.

My understanding is that if PAAK is properly implemented it is much more secure than a typical fob, but it’s not perfect. Note: I am not a security expert or IT professional.

Just discovered this thread, it seems Rivian has yet to implement PIN to drive but it’s on the list of future improvements. That’s good to know, as the risk of relay attacks by thieves is real given that the necessary hardware cost is next to nothing, though most people I talk to about it have...

The Rivian website currently says that one of the features in Autonomy Platform+ is: Does anyone know what the upcoming “Enhanced” feature will add to the existing capability? And a related question: what does the current “Highway Assist” feature do? Will it automatically steer the car to keep...

I don’t think Rivian has specified, but I would assume the upcoming Georgia factory.

Here is Electrek’s take on the story.

I find it odd that there is such a disparity between the production and delivery numbers when a component shortage created a “production disruption” yet 31% more vehicles were “produced” than delivered. My question is, were all 13,157 vehicles “produced” really completely finished and ready for...

I decided to ask ChatGPT 4.0 this question: ———————————————————————- Is Tesla going to provide a Supercharger extension cable so that Rivian owners using a Supercharger do not take up two spaces? ———————————————————————- And this is the answer it provided: ———————————————————————- Tesla is...

As a Tesla owner who hopes to become a Rivian owner in 2025 this discussion has been very helpful. But one aspect of charging an R1T/R1S at a Supercharger has not been discussed (I searched the forum but can’t find it even though it’s probably here somewhere); is there an issue with the V3...

I’ve twice used FSD 12.4 in my neighbor’s Model Y and had to disengage it at least once on an 8km route. Haven’t used 12.5 yet. I have had Enhanced Auto Pilot on my Model X and 3 for 7-8 years and use it constantly on highways and roads with no cross traffic. It is very good, makes driving more...

Agreed, and my response to you was taking that into consideration. I am sure that before the Supercharger network became available to Rivian owners (at least part of the network, not all of it) charging on road trips was a challenge. I am a long time Tesla owner (4 different models) but I...

Agree on the EV misinformation problem, and yes EVs aren’t yet below $30K, but disagree on your charging infrastructure characterization. There are tens of thousands of DC chargers in North America. I’ve done tens of thousands of miles EV roadtripping all over the Western US and Canada and...

I’m also interested in a comparison of the Model Y energy usage while you are towing vs the R1S, on comparable roads of course. Your new Rivian looks great! What motor configuration and pack size did you get?

If you are considering the R-series Altos because you think they will require less energy to tow compared to the F-series models, based on my research over the years I can tell you that they do not reduce energy usage. Apparently their sharply tapered shape with the roof down actually works...

That is a nice feature that Tesla has never bothered to implement because fundamentally the company has never really focused on improving the towing experience. It’s an afterthought to Tesla, in my opinion. Towing my Alto F1743 I get about 550-600Wh/m at 60mph (level dry road, no headwind). The...

Rolf, thanks for your post. I’m not a Rivian owner yet, I currently tow with a Tesla. I’m trying to understand the data shown in your first photo. Is the 1.41m/kWh the energy usage on your trip while towing? That converts to 709Wh/m which is the way Tesla displays energy numbers. You tow at...

Thanks. So it hits 404kW and in a matter of seconds drops down to about 350kW and then continues to rapidly taper such that in about 5(?) minutes it is at 250kW. I’m a bit surprised that Rivian has not yet improved it’s pack cooling capability.

The Cybertruck Battery is 800V. I was not aware that it could start charging at 400kW (your source is?) and in any case even 350kW capable chargers are not exactly widespread, though of course they do exist. I have seen reports of 255kW as the max charge rate.

Had a demo drive in an R1S Dual Motor (Gen1), my first time in a Rivian so first time driving one. Very impressed! Beautiful fit and finish, very smooth ride, good handling with an amazingly tight turning radius, comfortable seats, super useful 360 top down display when parking, plenty of power...
