I think it's related to plug and charge for your vehicle. I think this is how locations that plug and charge (like tesla superchargers) know where to bill you.
My mercedes doesn't plug and charge with Tesla but it does with electrify america and we were walked through linking chargepoint for...
Even if the cars were sold here, it isn't like there are any 800kw chargers here. These speeds will reach these shores eventually.
I can already see it. A bunch of 800kw chargers plugged into Chevy Bolts, taking 1+ hour to charge
In the several cars I've owned that had rear wipers, the scenario you describe (reversing when front wipers are on) is the only time I've ever had the rear wiper activate. I don't think I've ever manually turned them on.
There's no message either way, just the most recent text received from Rivian in January telling me to charge to 100% as often as possible and that I'll receive a text once it is complete.
I don't see what slowing down the charge will do. 99% of my charging is level 2 and it already slows down...
Who else, with the LFP pack, NOT has gotten the "calibration complete" text?
I've charged to 100% dozens of times now since initially getting the text to do so in November 2025 and again in January 2026.
I've yet to get the confirmation. That said, I recently went on a road trip and drove as...
I hope that's correct. I'm an early reservation holder and currently in an R1S lease. I would like both a launch edition and the light interior. Since I have quite a few months left on my lease, I'd happily configure an LE with a light interior even if it meant waiting a few extra months for my...
I'm unclear why FSD or autonomy+ would be needed in these situations. The built in navigation in both Tesla and Rivian clearly identify what lanes you need to be in as you approach an interchange.
I'm in both camps but I agree to a large extent. I had a model y for 4 years but hadn't been in a new one with FSD until very recently. My mind was blown at how good FSD is now. My friend, who has the new Model Y used it exclusively -- from pulling out of parking spot to parking at our...
I'd be surprised. They can't even catch or surpass Tesla when it comes to the app working correctly. I don't think having lidar is going to allow them to leapfrog all the years Tesla has invested into autonomous driving.
I agree. If it comes with the LE and I have it, I'll probably use it occasionally. If I wait and have to pay for it later, chances are I won't pay for it and won't be able to use it.
More likely though, I'll be on to my next vehicle before lidar makes any difference to these first R2s
You are correct -- when I checked this morning when I wrote that, it showed "----" for all stats next to the performance R2.
Overall, it's a difference of 23 miles anyway -- considering the recommendation to charge to 80% or less regularly, that's realistically a difference of 18.4 miles range...
Your points about range are really only applicable to the tires that come on each rim from the factory. The stock 21" rims come with more efficient tires than the 20" rims. You can change the tires on the 20" rims to get better efficiency. 20" tires are generally cheaper than 21" tires and...
