Anyone else notice this? Maybe it will change with the update that came out today, but as I was driving home in the rain, it would not let me use Spicy. Just Normal. When I tried to change it to Spicy, it said "this drive mode is not available due to driving conditions". Or something like...

I should have said "I want to be his friend, but he is in the cool kids group, so I don't have a chance". But I drive a cool truck. Maybe I do have a chance... 🙏

This has been debated and discussed a billion times. For me personally: 180 kWh battery, 800V charging, LiDAR.

I agree with you, but regen will lock the wheels. That is the root of the problem. Yes, you can stop the locking by pressing on the go pedal, but unless you are very careful, the regen will stop the wheels from moving. And once they stop, the slide starts. You can use the engine in a ICEV to...

I think not putting a third row in the Traveler is a big mistake. Rivian wisely gave up on that idea.

I think I am a better driver than most. On Tuesday I passed a VA state trooper, who was in the left lane and going over the speed limit. I was passing on the right, and when I got past him, I pulled over in front of him. Great move. I am not sure by how much, but I was significantly exceeding...

No, I was referring to free charging in all forms. Definitely L3, but also L2. @NY_Rob was on point. Free L2 charging needs to go away forever, and I have also noticed it has been slowly going away as Rob pointed out. Many of the "free" L2 EVSEs are now either gone, or replaced with pay...

Yes, I still think it is deploying on Thursday. :CWL: A couple of things: 1. I don't have any Rivian connections. Zero. 2. I am not friends with @Rivian Roamer, so he didn't violate any NDA or confidential info he may have. 3. Thursday was a total guess based on what seemed at the...

Interesting. The Garmin wallet has always worked perfectly for me. I would be fine with using the NFC in my watch to open the truck.

Are you sure all this is still true? My Fenix 8 Pro has LTE phone/data built in, which allows me to go running without my phone. I love it. It literally does everything I could ever want a watch to do. Maybe the easy way is via the Garmin wallet. I bet the development effort would be a much...

But square watches are just weird.

The R1T is my first pickup truck also. I freaking love it and probably will always drive a pickup from now on. And if Rivian keeps making the T better, like more range and faster charging, I will keep getting one. It's weird, though. I have started wearing white tank tops and throwing empty...

Free charging in all its forms creates charger congestion. It sucks. I don't support a government ban, but man I wish it could be banned. I hate it.

Absolutely.

I agree but shared charging spaces are shared. Which to me means if I don't need it, I should not be parked there. It is how sharing works. I use it when I need it, and not when I don't. It seems we probably mostly agree because you are correct there is no need to move if nobody else needs the...

If we could reserve the charging space in advance for a fee, then you could sit there as long as your reservation lasts. That's the solution, IMO. Shared spaces are a horrible idea, and free charging is even worse. Charge a fair price to reserve the space, a fair price per kWh, and then the...

It's a trigger for me because I have needed to charge many, many times and been unable to because of one or more fully charged vehicles sitting there, hogging the charging space. It pisses me off beyond measure because it just demonstrates how inconsiderate so many people are. One time I...

Once. Then go move it, and go back to bed. It sucks, I know. I have done it. Right now I am at a hotel with destination charging. I am choosing not to even bother using one because I don't want to get up in the middle of the night to move my truck. I have just enough charge to get home, so I...

What are you complaining about then? If your truck is still charging, of course you can still occupy the charging space. I mean, if you're considerate, and you have enough charge, you will move even if it's still charging. But you said you needed more and it was still charging. So what are you...

A regen mode that does not lock the wheels when the you lift your foot off the pedal would be good. It could regen normally at higher speeds, but keep the wheels moving at slow speeds, never locking them. It would force brake use to fully stop the truck, but at least the wheels would not lock up...
