  1. Hertz to sell 1/3 of its EV fleet

    You may have just inadvertently come up with the idea for a new investing strategy... short whatever TB is being paid to shill.
  2. A moment to appreciate... the Frunk

    At first I thought you were saying you had a crockpot on / actively cooking the pulled pork while it was in the frunk :CWL:
  3. Can hear the blinker, can see the indicator

    Unless there's some sort of law or regulation on it that I'm not aware of, I can't figure out any reason why they wouldn't give us the option to adjust volume (within any required minimum/maximum boundaries) and choose a "traditional" blinker sound instead of the whatever that default sound is...
  4. Is Bosch Quad going away?

    Man, Rivian really did overengineer the hell out of these things, didn't they?
  5. MY24 came with Silver Colored Key Fob Buttons

    My fob, wristband, and 1/2 of my keycards have lived in a drawer since the evening I bought the truck. Only use I've thought of for the fob so far is valet parking, but I've gone out of my way (and inconvenienced myself) to avoid & simply self-park thus far. It may be from lack of use, but...
  6. Electrical Efficiency (how many miles/kWh are you achieving)

    2.32 mi/kwh across initial ~8,500 miles per trip summary (Quad R1S on 20" ATs). Approximately 99% "all purpose" mode & 1% "sport" mode (do not use conserve). Approximately 85% city driving and 15% highway or interstate. Normal and/or "auto" height settings for most trips. About 150-200 miles of...
  7. Unhappy with quality of stereo sound

    For whatever reason, a lot of the posts I've seen on this (very common) discussion are comparing Meridian in an R1T vs. in the in-house system (Elevation) in an R1S & I think a lot of the "noticeable" differences from those comparisons are more attributable to the smaller cabin size / sound...
  8. Free LTE Connectivity to end this month

    If they were going to "grandfather" anyone in (which I don't think they should), I think it should only apply to post-hike buyers who reserved before the announcement. As a pre-hike (grandfathered pricing) owner myself, Rivian has already gone above & beyond and taken a meaningful profit hit by...
  9. R1S battery outdated already?

    I think iPhones are a great analogy. As soon as the new model is released (and often times even before), rumors begin flying about the following year's model (which is usually announced about 10-11 months later), rinse and repeat. At some point, you just have to buy what's available that works...
  10. Tesla Universal Charger review (J1772 and NACS): Best available single charger

    Has anyone seen any similar offerings NACS / J1772 combo units released or announced yet that support NEMA 14-50? No need for NACS currently (but like that it would help future proof) & already have a 14-50 outlet installed so hoping to use that vs. hardwire. Need to receive the charger by...
  11. Software Update 2023.46.0 is rolling out

    At least with this update, you can skip versions - I went straight from .38 to .46 (skipped over the .41 update fiasco entirely) on my R1S. In my case, .41 was downloaded for several weeks & I just dismissed the update prompt every time it appeared and then last week .41 was gone and I was...
  12. BestEvMod has a Christmas gift for you! Christmas giveaway raffle!

    Favorite feature(s) are the 110 outlet & hotspot -- makes the R1 the ultimate tailgating vehicle on gamedays.
  13. Getting my R1S in a month - Excited, but nervous! :D

    No issues at all on my R1S (coming up on ~8 months & 8,000 miles). Have a few cosmetic panel gap issues (my 51XX VIN was still pretty early in the R1S production cycle) that I need to schedule an appointment to get adjusted, but have had zero meaningful issues and haven't had to have any...
  14. Software Update 2023.46.0 is rolling out

    Same here on my R1S. I think I'm going to roll the dice and give it a go (trusting that lessons were learned from the .42 fiasco that led me to skip that update).
  15. Software Update 2023.46.0 is rolling out

    Did you notice the decreased volume / max volume issue that was pretty widely reported with .41 and, if so, was that fixed with .46? I've held out on .41 entirely but debating letting that update run tonight since it is sounding like being current is in fact a requirement to get the next OTA &...
  16. Tire rotation - Discount Tire

    Stupid question, but is there a consensus / best practice on how frequently we should do balances on an R1 (running the factory 20" A/Ts)? I'm taking my R1S this weekend to DT the first rotation (I've been delinquent and at 7,600 miles which I know isn't great but is what it is) & plan to get...
  17. Efficiency Has TANKED

    For those with discounted power rates for off-peak charging overnight, another thing I do in the winter is push the scheduled charge to start later during the off-peak window so that charging will end as close as possible (within that window) to the time I'm usually ready to leave in the...
  18. Lucid Gravity Reveal

    Yeah, but you also have the types (like my wife) who full-stop refuse to drive a minivan & prefer more "rugged" looking body-on-frame vehicles (e.g., Lexus GX, 4Runner, Armada, etc.). My wife would never drive the Lucid Gravity but takes every opportunity she gets to drive my R1S.
  19. Rivian fares poorly in "independent" charging-performance test

    Based on that conclusion, I'll go out on a limb here and speculate that the "scientists" who ran these tests would also be surprised to learn that a Ford Excursions is less fuel efficient than a Toyota Prius.
  20. Scaringe: Autonomy revenues within a year + R2 unveiling likely in Q1 2024

    What?! Where is the setting? I have the mild LKA enabled (where it will vibrate when departing the lane and help nudge you back over a bit), but haven't found any way to enable auto-steer (or even just automatic lane centering) outside of pre-mapped, closed access interstates.
