I think folks forget the post-pandemic environment that gen 1 was launched in. There were shortages of everything and I know sourcing was a headache for them. My personal take on Gen 1 is that while they would have preferred to not have hardware limited the first gen, it was either that or...
"More than 99% of the vehicles were fixed through a software update issued in June, Rivian said in a statement." https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/rivian-recalls-over-24000-us-vehicles-over-highway-assist-software-defect-nhtsa-2025-09-12/
Kind of nuts. I love the EV Base one (or at least my dogs do, I still haven't slept on it yet, haha). It fits great, is comfy, and significantly more affordable.
They have camera systems that ticket for crossing the lines on most toll lanes in CO now. It's been a huge money maker for the state. It has changed behavior too - you rarely see it here now.
Part of the problem is folks desire to drive in them just because they can - even if they want to go 10 mph below the limit. CA is the WORST about keeping right except to pass. Combine that with the 55 mph speed limit for trucks state wide and you can see why driving in CA sucks even in...
It depends on the toll facility and some of them require you to order the FasTrak through them. So your EV discounts vary based on which facility issues the FasTrak (the toll roads, express lanes, SANDAG, etc.). California has the most convoluted automated toll system I've ever interfaced...
Oh, I'm sure they will. Big money maker for the state ($500+ fine) - some of the HOT lanes already charged non-carpool EV's and they're working on a camera system that can automatically ticket for selecting HOV on the transponder when you'e not.
It was originally written into the law to sunset now. So while the current administration didn't push to end it, they certainly didn't push to extend it.
Contact at CO Springs SC indicated an Englewood-Centennial SC is set to come online in the next 60 days or so. They’ll have a night technician crew as well, so should add some good service capacity to the front range.
I don't know how you're sticking through this. Mine is back in the shop again while I roll around in another Enterprise rental - this time with ADAS issues that they still can't diagnose after 1 week at the service center (they see the faults but all the data is corrupt from over 2 dozen...
Back in a rental. Chevy Equinox EV this time.
27 cumulative days in service for my new Gen 2 acquired in May and counting. Had a Mitsubishi Outlander (Avis) for the first 10 day stint in service (beginning day after delivery), and did have a Rivian R1T gen 1 loaner for the second 9 day stint...
Works great mounted on the crossbars. I really enjoyed being able to stream music without hiccups driving on I-70 across southern Utah. I continue to be amazed by Starlink. What a great product.
Anyone know how much land Scout has in Columbia, SC? That seems like an opportunity for synergy if their relationship gets closer.. It sounds like the locals aren't actively chasing them off in SC like they are in GA.
I’m just telling you what the law says. I provided it. Not going to argue with all of you guys that think Rivian has to bless everything you do. It’s common knowledge and plenty of analysis on the topic.
I provided the code. I was correcting the false information being provided in this...
