Gen 1 showed the state of charge on the front light bar very early on but they disabled it for whatever reason.

The center console does not lock on gen 1, but the electronic buttons stop working when the car is asleep. However, you can wake up the vehicle by sitting in the seat and then open the console even without a key even when the doors are locked. (Climb in through a window, guarantee it’ll still...

There’s no way this wires directly into the vehicle, so what’s it going to be - a battery pack in the bed that the solar panels charge that you can then plug in to charge the truck with a J1772 cable? Just feels way too cumbersome as an aftermarket add-on. I would’ve loved it if it was wired...

Next update including Halloween mode should be October 22nd. Halloween mode only lasts until November 1st.

Sounds like the Boeing story to me, but it's the same everywhere really.

Well, luckily they don't exist then...

When you run out of gas in a Tacoma, you just call your buddy to bring you some. I think the permitting process might take a while for my buddy to plan and build a 300kW fast charging station for me in the mountains. :CWL:

I totally understand your position, but also if it puts your mind at ease... I had a full blowout of the front left tire in my R1T at highway speed last year due to road debris and I barely even noticed it had happened. This thing is the most stable, planted, composed vehicle I've ever driven...

I don’t think the lack of driver monitoring camera killed gen 1’s capabilities, I think gen 1’s lack of capabilities meant the driver monitoring camera was useless so they cut it out to save money since it wasn’t doing anything at all.

It does actually have dumb cruise control, but only when towing.

Regen Assist is under Settings > Driver+ > Regen Brake Assist.

Same thing. It's not just down hill, it's any time the vehicle needs to slow you down while you're in any kind of cruise control mode, so if a car is in front of you, if you go down hill, if you lower the set speed because the speed limit changed, etc. I was testing with "simple" cruise...

The V2H chargers are starting to roll out later this year into next year. You'll be able to get one from any number of manufacturers - enphase, wallbox, solaredge, etc. and they'll all work with your R1. Just need a little more patience. It's gonna be expensive though. Probably $10k all in...

It's pure capitalism. Tesla sells the J1772 to NACS adapter for $50 so third parties have to undercut that. No one sells a NACS to J1772 except third parties so they can rake you over the coals. It's the same materials, the same internals. Chinese knock-offs on Amazon for $40 all day. It's...

Yeah... I'm increasingly angry that it turns out Tesla really is that much better than everyone else, but I wanted a truck and I can't fucking stand how ugly they are or being in any way related to Elon. The R1 platform looks great, and seems to be way overbuilt with all of its various off the...

Yes, the display showed the same amount of "regen" that it normally does when I'm going down the hill without cruise control, but that display doesn't really mean anything anymore. Ever since they included the "Regen Assist" feature some updates ago they don't really show you an accurate...

Yep, I just tested it and I can confirm that Driver+ does not use regen at all, it uses purely mechanical friction brake pads to modulate speed. I started at the top of a hill with cold (ambient temp) brake rotors, accelerated to 50 going downhill and set cruise control. I continued downhill...

I suspect that Driver+ is handled entirely by the Mobileye SoC and since Rivian doesn't have blended braking they're using mechanical brakes to play nicely with this "off the shelf" ADAS system. You can feel the brake pedal moving when Driver+ makes speed adjustments, and the brake pedal is...

Very much one of the main reasons. It drives well for a 7,000lb pickup truck but at the end of the day 99.9% of the miles that I drive are at a medium speed going in straight lines on a freeway. The driving dynamics don't really matter all that much to me because I'm not racing it at the...

They literally did promise hands free driving at the announcement event, on the website even after deliveries began, and from the CEO's mouth several times before they quietly turned the camera off and scrubbed it from history. They obviously intended to make it happen or they wouldn't have...
