I have to admit you might be right, at least in so far as people wanting or expecting the bigger numbers on paper regardless of how well it actually works. The shitty part about it is that charge rates are still a moving target. There are 1MW and 1.2MW chargers on paper now pulling 1000 amps+...

I'm afraid we've only scratched the surface on the actual nuances involved. For the actual battery pack higher voltage has other consequences and the design is much more intricate than just stitching cells together in series or in parallel. For example, it's been said that for the same kW...

The point wasn't that 800V doesn't have any applications in big packs. It was more that if you're dealing with a 150kW or 200kW charger, then going to 800V doesn't actually get you anywhere if you can already pull 500A. Also that a smaller vehicle may not be able to pull 500A at all and may see...

There's a few things worth talking about with respect to global competitiveness. The first is that chasing the bleeding edge is not actually the key to global competitiveness. It's better to be efficient first unless you're selling to people where the price isn't the main concern. That doesn't...

It's probably not as easy a thing as people want to believe. Even if Rivian had an 800V design ready to go and it was a slam dunk upgrade, do you guys know just how much stuff has to be changed to accommodate that in production? Do you have to change the motor design to run on higher voltage...

I'll mention one thing I discovered in a recent service appointment. I had put a ticket in for suspension clunk/thumping. At the bottom of a bump it would make a clunking noise and in often I would feel the thunk through the floor. Figured something was loose or I had bad bushing somewhere. A...

I also encounter this problem frequently, basically any time there's a reboot with tidal active. One thing that to this point has always worked for me is to switch to the radio, do a soft reset, and then switch back. Haven't had to do the log in/out business. The important bit always seems to be...

On dual motor vehicles Rivian forced auto ride-height to re-enable itself after being parked for more than 4 hours. So that meant that anyone who parked in low or lowest in some low-clearance space would be put into standard height when they came back and put it into drive and so on. A gen 1...

To answer the question directly, no I'm not pissed that it gets software updates. I'm annoyed that something that has worked through the entire history of software updates was changed without any apparent reason and now does not work. This isn't the first time. The crux of it lies in the fact...

If you're angling to be a smartass here, you should probably check whether or not it was working without LOCATION BASED SERVICES as of last week. It has in fact been working for years and the last update stopped that from working and that's rather the basis of the complaint. A better question...

I can't say I mind disagreements. That said I probably be reprociprically dismissive of anyone who calls it meritless because that's easy when it's not your problem. A feature I used since day one of ownership was disabled without any notice or explanation, I can't do anything about it and...

I have a bit of a mixed history of satisfaction with Rivian software updates and it's less about bugs and more about things they intentionally fuss with that aren't in the patch notes. The reason I don't like it is because you only find out about it after you pass the point of no return, because...

One thing I will mention is during my first month of ownership my efficiency was trash and it took a while to get anywhere close to EPA ratings despite being in warm weather. I believe the Pirellis actually have a break-in period with high rolling resistance until they wear a bit. Second was...

Seems like something's amiss. I can get 2.4 going 65 in a dual large. Driving 30-40 usually lands me around 3.7. Headwinds and road surface can have some surprising impacts, but you'd have to be driving into a 30mph+ headwind to get your efficiency hit like that. Hard to say exactly what...

I don't suppose you have a way to measure the charger input or see a history? If we can map a change in the number of electrons that would be fairly conclusive.

I don't suppose there's any info on the actual battery sizes? Based on dimensions an R2 has about 85% the frontal area of an R1 and is going to be lighter. We'd have to make some guesstimates about weight since it doesn't seem to be readily available, but since it's about 93% the length of an...

I feel like I'm the only person that doesn't use the app and kinda resent it being the primary way people are supposed to interface with things. Every time I am forced to deal with it for service I also get nagged about the PAAK I don't use. I don't trust it for something so critical...

My experience has been a bit bumpy with service issues, but ultimately they got handled and the reason I bought mine hasn't changed. I...uh. I don't actually care overly much about the offroad part of the branding. I sought out and bought my R1T for what it was compared to its conventional...

Well uh, I'd...also have to suggest the Realwheels EV ones. I bought a set of the brushed stainless ones myself after crawling the options. While they do have a painted one, if you want something that's not black I'm not sure anyone else offers a metal finish option. I am the sort of person who...

Before you go about cutting stuff, loosen the screws holding the plastic panel on and knock it a few times to shift it over or see if you can push the jack puck straight and then tighten the screws. There's some play in it. You don't even need to get the hole centered, just get enough clearance...
