I think you are very wrong on this. Amazon is absolutely a major, if not the only, reason that Rivian does not have CarPlay. Okay, even if it is not a "major" reason, it is still certainly part of the reason. Amazon is more than just a silent investor, and they are more than an active investor...

Meanwhile....we all are seeing a big loss

This was fun to read. I hate that I tend to agree with your points. I have some friends with a RTT and the biggest upside of them is the mattress comfort and quality. It is like sleeping in a bed at home. Plus the hardshell or canvas shell adds more protection. That being said, if you are car...

To me, this is just another example of Rivian choosing to focus on shallow branding rather than practicality. Under Canvas is an Instagram model's wet dream where they pretend to be outdoorsy just to get one highly edited shot to post for likes. Very few outdoors(wo)men, overlanders, etc. visit...

Yeah, we can just agree to disagree on that. The first thing people do when they get in my car is adjust the air vents. It's the first thing I do when I get in an Uber. Adjusting air vents is very common. Not sure how you think it's not ever done and that I'm in the minority of people that...

But tying vent position to a driver profile doesn't really do or solve anything. You adjust the vent positions due to other external variables...the outside weather, the inside temperature, the clothing you are wearing, if you just got done working out and are hot, if it's cold outside and you...

People also seem to overlooking the simple fact that a car purchase is 99% of Americans second largest purchase in their entire life...behind a home. Probably not as applicable to this demographic, but still. Rivian arbitrarily making an internal decision to delay max packs by a full year...

Won't you lose your theoretical spot in line for the max pack? ...if you do switch back to a max pack, you will be put at the back of the line, no? Although, the more information I get from Rivian, the more I read these forums, and the more I talk to customer service, this "spot in line" seems...

Oh good catch! Nevermind. I didn't realize I can control everything with those two thumb scroll wheels! I hope they install those steering wheel controls for the passenger seats too! I am so pumped about Rivian's no glove, clean fingers, and smooth roads only policies. I'm super stoked about...

I really can't stand that there are zero physical knobs or buttons. Some sort of haptic / physical feedback is necessary while driving a car!

I am liking the Hummer EV more and more. They just got a lot more right imo than the Rivian. I just hate the size and weight and bulky-ness. I hope Rivian is taking note of all of the Hummer features. I want the best of both worlds....all of the Hummer EV features and interior with the Rivian...

Does the R1T have adaptive cruise control outside of Driver+? Or is it just Driver+? They do have a normal cruise control option, right...?

Well I have no credibility when it comes to this...so nothing to undercut... And that is why I'm seeking other's opinion here. Kind of the whole point of open forum, no?

Seems like they have a long way to go. This doesn't seem that different than adaptive cruise control technology that has been around for years...

Lol. I don't know anything about autonomous driving technology, but this basic of an error would lead me to believe that Rivian is quite far away from mastering it.

I'm no expert, but I think your "disdain" is being misplaced. They don't have a disdain for cupholders, they have a disdain for automatic transmissions. One of the main reasons the European car market might have a disdain for cupholders is actually because there is a stigma around driving...

I can't help but point out how flat out silly this argument and POV is. You can apply this rationale to anything and everything. Rivian didn't do XXXX, so there is a less likelihood of random event YYY from occurring. That's like saying that your are thankful that Rivian didn't install floor...

I just know the digital controlled airvents and lack of physical volume knob are going to drive me crazy! Really not looking forward to those two things. :(

Genuinely curious. How do you handle the Tesla if you're wearing gloves? Do you typically wait for red lights and stops to do most changes? Do you have any glare issues or responsive issues with the Tesla touchscreen? Has your touchscreen ever stopped working or had any issues?

My biggest concerns: - Everything is "cool" and looks super luxurious. - No mention of integration with 3rd party apps (other than Spotify and TuneIn) - Lack of physical interface and sole reliance on touchscreen is a BIG worry and annoyance for me. The annoyance factor, safety concerns, and...
