When you say that your wife likes the sandstone color with white interior, could it be a Limestone (pale gray metallic) exterior? If so, the interior you saw was probably Ocean Coast, a grayish white. That combo should be available as a 2026 when they come out. If it was an off-white...

Was there nothing to indicate that the vehicle was in a special mode?Car wash mode, pet mode, shipping mode, and service mode all do something on the displays to indicate that things aren’t setup normally. It seems like a real miss on Rivian’s part if they developed a mode which negatively...

I absolutely don’t hate Tesla but I don’t think EM has been doing Tesla any favors recently. I expect that Tesla will get better and do better right after EM ratchets down his involvement. Then Tesla can behave like a business rather than his hobby to make what he wants regardless of customer...

I think your opinions are based on what he did for Tesla and how he acted as the leader of Tesla. Mine are based on what he’s doing to Tesla currently and how he’s behaving as the leader of Tesla. I’m not talking about politics at all. When I mentioned his other priorities I was thinking of...

I wish Tesla well, too, which is why I wish EM would step away from the company and focus on his other priorities. I suspect he would never accept that Tesla could do better without him than with him.

The situation is different only in that it’s EM and your hard-and-fast rule suddenly doesn’t apply. It’s absolutely related when someone responsible for sales is being judged based on Elon’s actions.

What are you driving (Gen1 Quad, Dual, or Tri*) and what drive mode settings are you using? I was just on very dusty washboard roads yesterday in our Tri (Off Road Rally standard height soft and On Road All purpose standard height soft) at 48PSI on factory Pirellis with almost 2,000 miles on...

Exactly. The VP was a scapegoat and I hope they got a nice package on the way out.

This is exactly what kept me from using ACC on our Gen1. Unless I adjusted the gap when approaching slowed/stopped traffic, it created stress for me, any passengers with me, and probably the driver of the vehicle in front of me. ACC on Gen2 behaves rationally and smoothly, even with the smallest...

I think that you are missing what I wrote. If there are no exceptions then why does EM remain at Tesla? Clearly, there is an exception: Elon Musk. If anyone is responsible for Tesla’s declining sales it’s EM through heavy-handed involvement in product development / demonstrations, claims which...

The article @Zoidz quoted makes no sense as written above (with emphasis added). While it could be written by a human, I think @COdogman nailed it:

No exceptions… yet Tesla won’t get rid of EM even though he’s their biggest liability.

We used to have a cabin in Green Valley Lake, so practically next door neighbors! Have you ever taken 2N02 and Burns Canton from Big Bear (Baldwin Lake area) to/from Rimrock near Pioneertown? There are some interesting trails in the area. We’ve done Rattlesnake Canyon in our Land Rover LR3 a...

Sandy, our California Dune, helping us with a thorny problem.

Yeah, there should have been a brace or other structural attachment point at that central area since that would probably keep the center screen from shaking, too. The screen shaking doesn’t bother me as much, but the behavior of that central dash area really undermines the quality of the rest of...

Exactly. Just like Tesla vehicles are appreciating assets and CyberTrucks are outselling all other EV pickups. :giggle:

Very nice. While the Driver Assistance with Hitch Accessories doesn’t affect me, I know this is a big deal for a lot of folks on the forum! Kudos to Rivian for continuing to listen to owner feedback. :clap: The better cooldown is well-timed, and the ongoing suspension improvements have made...

Close! This is in the Pioneertown area, northwest of Yucca Valley. We have land up there and we’re having a cabin built so we are up there a lot. I’d love to hear from one of the Rivian designers or engineers if this is really what they intended, if some specification got changed, or if there is...

Thanks, I would rather have service do the fix than tear into our new Rivian. This is an objectively bad design might have made it to Gen1 due to time constraints with launching a new vehicle but there is no excuse for this to continue on in Gen2.

Rivian camouflage wrap is THAT good! ;)
