Every EV should have this feature. Although 1500 watts would run most of my stuff, if R1 had the same power as Ioniq5 (1900 watts) or small pack Lightning (2400 watts), I wouldn’t have to check the button of any of my stuff to see if it works. My hairdryer (1875 watts) has to stay home...

I am curious about Rob’s response too. I am guessing if manufacturer says in case of airbag deployment we have 30 seconds of video, it means at least when the vehicle is moving, they are always recording. My take on it is if it is not required by law, owner must have control over it otherwise...

Although that sounds seriously wrong, it may be the case for R1 since one of the owners recorded energy consumption by camera’s when gear guard was off.

There are EV R1S killers out there. We just can’t get them in U.S. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a40061121/nissan-sakura-ev-japan-details/ Kidding aside, if I had to get an ICE. I would not be looking for something with the same capabilities. I would be getting a pathfinder.

Replacing 90,000 large battery packs during warranty is not a risk they want to take so they probably thought they would be on the safe side at our expense. I am sure many companies are working on a chemistry and construction of a battery that is more suitable for auto industry and when our...

By the time I get my R1S they may start using new chemistry like Li-S or May be silicon anode battery G-Wagon is using. watching the news, it is hard not to think anything for sale today is already outdated.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I think I read somewhere there is something like a transport mode. Can an owner verify if it exist, what the power consumption is and how long it takes to get out of it? What the downsides of using it would be?

I hope they get their crap together before my number is up. I really hate to pass up on R1S for this but I will if they don’t. Not just because I hate waste but because I just don’t know what else they may think is “normal” in Normal.

With thanks to @r1vlife for these shots:

This is mighty troubling. The most important feature they need to implement is the owner’s ability to revert back to one of previous stable versions. We have been complaining about how ineffective CS has been with answering questions for a long time but they are still the same. For the same...

It is not that reassuring to see RJ is asking us if we have figured out how to fix R1T ;) then again, at least he is asking.

I knew I was not the only hillbilly in the house ;). I am sure we can find something on the rear hatch to attach the bungee to (to keep it closed) otherwise I may have to go full hillbilly and strap a 2x4 to the roof rack to keep the rear hatch open. Skyote May be too smart to drive behind me...

My config was a 5 seater R1S. 7 seater is a compromise I am forced to make. So the real choice is between the truck and SUV which is a tough one since I do use the bed in my current truck which I may have to keep as long as it runs after R1S or just get a trailer. I wouldn’t want the spare for...

I hope one of the lawyers in the house can pitch in. I often sign a piece of paper on scuba diving, sky diving and other diving trips noting that if I die, I won’t hold them responsible ( like my ghost has nothing better to do). Anyway, a lawyer told me a while back that regardless of what I...

With thanks to @All_electric_Seattle this is one of the 12V batteries:

Love seeing 21s survive this.

I see your point. Frankly, I am OK with how Rivian is doing it; A relative energy consumption graph is all I need for hypermiling. But if they change it, having the option to show just KW/t on the graph (taking the mile out of it); something like a speedometer with energy and that should be...

I was disappointed that the low speed noise maker was not drowned. I am not sure how but it looks like it is water proof.

It is not just a matter of size of data. User must have the option to stay offline because content of the video may be sensitive and as the owner of the content, user may not want to lose possession of it (on the cloud means someone else has access to it regardless of what security guarantees...
