  1. Newest language on the EV incentive

    Washington State has nothing for us. The vehicle has to be under $45K to get the $1300 sales tax exemption. Washington State is not favorable when it comes to EV incentives. Best you get is no tax on the purchase and install of a home charger. Funny as our governor "tries to be all green"! :)
  2. Z06 C8 lust

    Sitting in my 2019 C7 GS as I type. The Vette is always ready to roll. No push a button and get it a drink while it gets itself ready for a couple runs. Just push button and it will go fast all day long. Mine will gladly share the garage with the R1S which is slightly faster to 60 but the...
  3. Normal Plant Satellite Images

    Agree! It doesn't take rocket science to get a pic. Just a small private plane or helicopter!
  4. Real Rivian Photos & Videos

    I am sure Phil Knight “licensed it” before he started selling the shirts! Ha ha
  5. R1T demonstrates water fording in 40+ inches of water!

    The passengers appear to be looking inside watching for potential leaks? With the seats out they can probably see better. My bet is it has no carpet for that reason too….but that is just my guess.
  6. Telematics Control Module Stops by the FCC

    What is 5G WiFi? 6e is next gen for WiFi. Cellular and WiFi nomenclature are not aligned.
  7. New Polestar 3 Sporty SUV

    I though Rivian had trademarked “soon”! Polestar can’t say that!
  8. Paint Care Protection Thread

    Just get a bottle of 303 Aerospace Touchless Sealant and call it good. They have a graphene version too if you need to tell your friends your car is graphene coated. Stuff is super easy to use. For a new car the Ceramic coating should be cheaper. The coating and application. is not rocket...
  9. INTERIOR feature / details just posted at Rivian.com

    All carriers and handsets now support VoLTE. Verizon implemented full VoLTE support as part of their HD Voice(marketing speak) upgrade as of Dec 2019. The reason it didn't work before was because the phone calls and the data were separate. With VoLTE the voice is just data...just like the...
  10. INTERIOR feature / details just posted at Rivian.com

    Actually that is not the case any longer. Basically all 4G LTE networks support VoLTE. As long as VoLTE is not disabled on your handset you are fine to make calls and surf. I do it all the time. Used to be that way years ago with 3G but not the case any longer. .
  11. INTERIOR feature / details just posted at Rivian.com

    No need to even use the WiFi "hot spot" or extender when you can simply tether whatever wifi connected device you like to. the phone you already pay for. Cars generally don't have a great wireless implementation as far as speed goes either. It's more of a convenience. It's like drinking the...
  12. "Lordstown Motors Week"

    she may need a loaner…. https://www.engadget.com/lordstown-motors-232701777.html?src=rss_b2c
  13. Why can't we get production line pictures or videos?

    Their ability to keep a lid on literally almost everything, especially with all the employees they now have, is quite amazing!
  14. PNW Roll Call

    All the folks wondering how Seattle could possibly be toward the top of the list for first deliveries crack me up. You can tell not many people have spent much time in this part of the country. That’s okay with me! Their loss. The PNW is a great place for outdoor adventure as we all know...
  15. A look at Rivian key fob - carabiner shape and colors

    I understand. Context was related to the vehicle. Even if the car was dead BLE module and the locking system could still function. Doesn’t take much. Would work with phone or FOB assuming the FOB was BLE as well. Even just phone is better than locked out.
  16. A look at Rivian key fob - carabiner shape and colors

    A Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE) module with a rechargeable battery in it could solve the problem very easily. Could run for years with no 12 volt needed. Some vulnerability during initial pairing but once that is done it’s very secure.
  17. VW ID.4 pre-orders now live - $100 deposit, deliveries starting Q1 2021

    I was more addressing acceleration. My teen daughters drive an older G37x. It’s much faster than an ID.4. This would just feel like a sluggish normal car to them. Why not take advantage of the characteristics of an electric drive train in a new car? I don’t think anyone would not buy it if it...
  18. VW ID.4 pre-orders now live - $100 deposit, deliveries starting Q1 2021

    My only ID.4 comment.... What kind of company makes a slow electric car? 7.6-seconds to 60 mph!! Come on! If you make an electric car these days there is no excuse not to make it fun. Two words..."instant torque". How do you screw that up? Ask Volkswagen!
  19. Official: Rivian Experience – Purchasing, Return Policy & Charging

    Our Jeep JLU FOB is about this size and based upon the picture it is probably thicker too!
