Yeah this is quite annoying, or it seems like the settings it does remember may not be the settings I Saved at. I find I need to switch to my wife's driver profile and then back to mine again, probably every 2 or 3 times I drive the car.

Ha! That's pretty cool. My list is 3. Las Vegas, which I love because of that amazing mall. Barstow, and Grand Junction.

Except that if I know a mobile service visit comes with courtesy checks, I expect them to be done because those checks may reveal something in edge cases. Otherwise, don’t publicly publish that they occur on an invoice, whether they’re zeroed-out/paid for by Rivian, or not. Don’t set...

A Supercharger, whether Rivian Adventure Network, Tesla, or Electrify America (and the like) are all DC, so will go much faster - up to 220kw - compared to your AC to DC home charger that maxes out at 11.5kw. I've gotten to the RAN charger in Vegas at 2% and gotten back up to ~95% in just over...

Please remove this radio station I can easily tune out. Speaking of Karen.

Let’s look at your original reply and reverse the question. You can’t SERIOUSLY be suggesting fraudulently saying he both test drove and courtesy inspected a vehicle when he did neither is OK can you? What if there were issues that would have been revealed? A TPMS failure? … surely you’re...

Jam Sheffield. My daughter was mad I got rid of my Taycan for the Rivian so I was trying to sway her by naming the R1S after a Metallica meme (posted below). She likes the name and all but it isn’t enough to sway her towards liking the R1S anymore than before. So I would have gone with...

Not speaking for Don, obviously, but he didn’t say you were inaccurate. Rivian can still be doing it better than just about everyone else (Jeep, specifically), while still developing software that contains bugs and releasing something that results in a recall. Though I would say 2 is factually...

Woah woah woah… let’s not go crazy here. Sometimes “Shuffle” is the gift that keeps on giving - the same songs randomly. This could be Hatfield and McCoys, but there should be one Shuffle to rule them all - Shuffle No Repeat; Repeat once all songs are played.

We have a place in Brian Head and drive out there frequently. Such a beautiful state.

Yeah, I agree. Since this is a large enough vehicle, those environmental variables can swing things pretty rapidly. I was driving home from Utah a few weeks back and winds were so heavy. After charging up at Vegas RAN, I ended up needing to stop again at a Victorville Tesla Supercharger for...

So with most of my road trips done until the holidays, I finally had a good 7 days to drive the Gen 2 R1S under normal driving conditions. 2 days commuting to/from work (~40 mi each way), and then around town for the kids & errands. The second pic was when I had to call it and charge up...

Well that stinks. I have a Gen 2 and .31 and the Halloween costumes work. It’s not bulletproof. Sometimes there’s a hang-up but I get them to work.

Wilhelm forever!

Here are 3 different DCFC sessions I had on my recent trip. I highlighted the SOC when I dropped below 100kw rate permanently for that session. 84%, at Vegas RAN stop would have been 72% on a Max pack. 80% at the Lotto Store Electrify America stop would have been 68% on a Max pack. 77% at Grand...

Yeah R1 is definitely too much Truck/SUV for me as a daily driver, but has been great for road-tripping. 180mi per day seems like a bit of both. My wife wanted the space and third-row back that she had on her prior minivan, and she loves the R1S, but no doubt that for 80% of our use-case, the...

And at least for the Large+ pack, in order to meet the rated range of 329mi on 22” Sports, you’d have to average 2.74mi/kwh, which does seem doable, fairly regularly. However, as many have alluded, the sheer size and aerodynamics of the vehicle means that when it *isn’t* hitting those numbers...

Aah ok. Gotcha.

The Gen 1 dual motors are made by Bosch, I believe, and the Gen 2s were made in-house. Could there be design efficiencies that result in the same power output? Or does equal power = equally inefficient, regardless of design? Additionally, they also removed a lot of electrical wiring (a mile and...

Yeah we need to define "regularly" & "normal driving." If it's specific to your style, then the Gen 2 would likely do better than your own Gen 1 observations, if driven by you under the same conditions. On my Gen 2 I regularly have drives of greater than 3mi/kwh, but also regularly have drives...
