Fair points, plus the ones previously about the size of the battery and thermal mass.
At the same time, shouldn’t I be close to optimal charging temp when leaving a prior DC charge? It’s seems like not a ton of change in temp would be necessary to get back to ideal. Preconditioning only a few...
Agree that a manual option would be nice as there are a handful of Ford and Shell DC chargers I use that aren’t on the Rivian nav.
Related question, how far out are people seeing the preconditioning start? I know it’s variable, but my (2015) Tesla never starts more than 10-15 minutes out. I’ve...
Yep. Rough average I see is about a $0.12-0.14/kwh discount and therefore about 100kwh in a month pays for the $13/mo membership. Only saving money after that. A long road trip using primarily Tesla is well worth it, otherwise maybe not so much. We have a 1000 mile round trip going on right now...
I think darn near everyone got an opt-in email today. It even had a typo saying you needed to opt in by Aug 2, haha. I'm a Gen 2 delivered end of July and I have a family member who got a Gen 2 picked up last week and we both got emails today. Actual delivery is still a massive wild card.
Agree with a lot of what’s been posted. Some additional thoughts/ramblings:
“Need”
All-weather mats: IMO, Tuxmat > LinerX = OEM. Personal preference will come into play. Tuxmat not officially available for 2025 yet due to driver’s floor changes but the mat does fit and isn’t a safety issue in...
Wish it were that simple. Doesn’t work though. Isolated to charging history in the app. Everything else is in miles. Tapping does nothing to change it.
They should focus on filling people’s orders then with less shop inventory at any given time. People are finding their build or mighty similar builds in the shop and switching. That’s not the customer’s fault. It’s how I ended up getting mine and taking the chance on my reservation deposit...
A “road trip package” of boosted range and Autonomy+ would be an incredible subscription option. They could charge crazy money and I would pay for it a couple times a year. There’s probably an ROI inflection point somewhere in there with a monthly option rather than getting fewer buyers paying...
That’s crazy sauce. How recent? In July, I was willing to have Rivian transfer my $1k custom res deposit over to the lease down payment on my shop order, but they said no, just have the money back instead. They had my $1k and $500 deposits simultaneously for a day or two, but refunded me very...
Still really weird if it’s a bug. They have 10 of them like this listed available in my area. Even weirder that none of them are shown in a large+ option as well. Rivian tends to double list the same car as large+ and max.
Interested to see what they tell you. Glad someone took the plunge.
Rebooting this thread for others to reference for the future. R1S Gen 1 and 2 usable kWh, rated range/efficiency, and 100%-0% ranges at different efficiencies:
The new DM Large battery rated range/efficiency stands out to me the most and seems suspect at best
