lol at people thinking small towns aren't desirable. if you have kids and its the right job it can be highly desirable. i have to shake my head at these types of posts. not everyone can live on the coast, and not everyone wants to either. there are great, thriving small to mid size cities all...

there was a lot of great information in that thread. i take back my somewhat snarky comments about motor trend :)

not everyone cares as much about driver assist features. i couldn't care less... I'd buy the car if it didn't even include anything except cruise control. to me its a tech gimmick nothing more. i am in control of my vehicle at all times and always will be.

I've watched TFL for years now. They aren't bad guys, and they are ruthless when it comes to reviews. I bet you the first thing they would do to a Rivian is strap 11000 pounds on a flat bed trailer and try to take it up the Ike gauntlet. But... it's clear Rivian isn't just handing out trucks...

i would have liked to see a navy blue, and a brown.

sounds like you aren't quite ready to switch to an EV yet. I'd say just wait for the max pack.

Rivian could, you know, publish a specification/feature list of the truck....like all other manufacturers..

I already have a cell phone with a data plan, why would I pay for two data plans. I hate when vehicle manufacturers try to force you to not use your cell phone and data plan you already pay for. like, wtf? I gave you $80 grand for the vehicle. it had better include android auto and a way for me...

"Marques Brownlee" and "Doug Demuro" aren't going to drive the TAT and camp out along the way. Youtube reviews have their place, and get lots of views because its a quick way to learn everything there is to know about the vehicle in 20 minutes. Motor Trend skews toward an older demographic that...

lets be fair...$5000 is a bit over-priced for what it is. I'd say a lot of that money is just going to recoup design costs. You can buy an induction stove and plug it into the bed, and probably a set of high end camp cookware and all the rest of it for under a thousand bucks easy. "Yea but...

i need the screens to dim way down to barely any brightness for night driving.

to each their own, but i hate heads up displays. when i look out the windshield, i want to see the road not something projected onto it. i find it incredibly distracting. i used to think i "wanted it" because it seemed kind of sci Fi and cool to me. since using several different systems in...

i live on the olympic peninsula, kitsap area. i can't wait to enjoy my Rivian out here. There are some ways to get into olympic national forest and park that consist of a deceptively normal looking two lane road, that at some point becomes gravel, and then at a later point becomes gravel-ish...

really glad to see a couple out on the olympic peninsula and down the washington and oregon coast. those areas are really hurting right now.

I think it is a serious mistake to make vital truck functions like voice control (especially for calls and navigation) run through a 3rd party ecosystem. I absolutely refuse to buy a Rivian if I am required to say the word "Alexa" to operate normal vehicle functions. I don't have Amazon devices...

im sorry you have to drive so much, but at least in an R1 with the max pack you could be in a very nice vehicle with power to spare for that drive. If I was in your position, I'd probably get the Rivian. But I'd also be looking to move closer to my workplace as well. That is still a huge amount...

with all the news lately and shipping apparently imminent, my thoughts have been going back to the documentary "Long Way Up". If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it, even though Rivian is not a main focus. Charging was a major issue in the first part of the documentary, because it was...

your numbers on the 4680 are way off. they aren't that energy dense, not even close. they have about 10-15% more capacity than current 2170 cells.

Very true, I am in the PNW and I didn't initially realize that i might just be biased. With rain from fall through spring, and a lot of that in temperatures that allow for outdoor recreation, we are out doing adventures in wet conditions very frequently, so a canopy is almost a must. If you go...

you certainly know the physics better than i do, that's for sure. but there may be people lurking these forums who dont even realize rotating mass is different. I'm just trying to put it into simple terms for them. all else being equal, smaller, lighter wheels and tires take less energy to...
