I am curious about people's experience with the 7,500 service. I just had mine (just under 9,000 miles). I had scheduled it about. a month ago, and had it done at the Atlanta Service Center. They did offer to come do it remote but I had to have the windshield replace as well, so I needed to...
Ironically, I just dropped of my R1S for the 7500 mile check up and a new windshield (yes, it is ~$1,800... and they don't work with your insurance)... and got a new Audi Q7 as a loaner. I forgot how much I like/miss Apple CarPlay & Waze... and was impressed that the new Audi's Driver+...
I definitely didn't intend to start a bash EA thread... I have used them often and without issue. But this info was more than a random source. Trying to protect the confidentiality here but the person was relaying an internal BMW directive based on 4 specific cases... all of which were with...
I spoke yesterday with someone that works for a BMW dealer, who shared that BMW has had 4 instances where BMW EV's have had "issues" with Electrify America chargers to the point that they are warning or preventing their customers from using them. In one case the plug had melted, and there was...
I have to say as a loyal R1S owner, I am initially bummed and feel a bit betrayed if this all turns out to be true. You just expect with a modern software based vehicle like this that you can count on continual upgrades for years to come. Tesla's are still getting meaningful upgrades and new...
One last comment... I saw a funny post on X from a university professor in response to NASA's announcement that they were pushing back the Mars Sample Return Plans from 2028 to 2035 (with a budget of $11 billion). ... he said something along the lines of "... NASA should just scrap this mission...
Ditto that. I was reading this thread, then went to my email and noticed I received the email yesterday at 7:01 EDT. I am a November 2023 delivery. Will be interesting to see how much time between this email and receipt.
Perhaps... but with a total estimated investment of $20 billion SpaceX is now the premier provider of travel to space globally, radically lowering the cost to put both people and technology in space and making launches and rocket reuse routine. They have also deployed Starlink now providing...
My first response was going to be a question... do you want to bet on that? But then it occurred that I have already made that bet. I am a Tesla share holder (just increased my position), I am buying into a vehicle which will give me exposure to SpaceX... and I would own Neuralink and X.AI if...
Not the people you want. You want the people that have confidence they are better than the other guys and have the swagger and work ethic to pull it off. Love him or hate him, Musk is one of the most successful business leaders of all time and is likely going to have a larger impact on...
Yes... there is a story in Isaacson's books about Musk going to the Starling team and pushing them. He thought the satellites were big, too expensive and need better speed metrics. The team pushed back and so he fired them all. The was an uproar and many forecasted the end of Starling. Musk...
I own the Rivian branded tent… and really like it. I have to admit I didn’t understand the broad array of options before I bought it but we have enjoyed the Rivian version and have no complaints. Happy to answer more specific questions if you have them.
... maybe they were not getting the job done. No one has mentioned it, but maybe he is looking for a talent upgrade here. He has done that else where before. Amazing that people are so quick to write him off and yet he continues to accomplish things that people think is impossible.
Thought about this through the night as it didn't make sense to me. Then clicked on the link and read the details and get what this is comparing. This is only comparing... essentially engaging on the highway in a Drive Assist kind of way. ... thus Mercedes and Tesla at the top. But it if was...
Then was mention in Tesla's earnings call yesterday that they are in talks with another car manufacture about licensing their full self driving software. I wonder if Rivian may be that manufacture. Driver+ seems to be way behind others, and I would expect they could more easily make the...
