Only a couple more months until "reliable charging network" can't be used to sell Teslas. Arguably, buying a CCS vehicle over the next 24 months will be the best buy; you'll get an adapter, and like 50% more charging options than Teslas.
The hood on that Land Cruiser looks like it's 10ft long, lol
Both vehicles definitely look like concepts. I'd be interested to see what they'd look like in production, but unchanged as-is I don't love them. Don't hate them either though.
After it's woken up, does your phone fully work as a key? By that I mean that you can start it without tapping the keycard against the door?
I've noticed that it's very prone to going into a deep sleep and needs to be manually woken up. But half the time it tells me I need to start it with my...
You need 2023.38, so make sure you have that first.
If you have anything other than Standard Dual Motor, go to the Drive Mode screen. From there, put your finger on the photo of your vehicle, and swipe left towards the Drive Modes pane.
If you do have a Standard Dual Motor, you have to wait...
To supplement my response above with the context of your upcoming drive from Medford → Portland, that trip is a net descent, although assuming you're coming up the I5 there's a ton of climbing to go over Sexton (which fun/immature fact, the summit is at milepost 69), and just constant up/down...
I have a suspicion. I think for each trailer you save they essentially build a 3D profile of efficiency vs speed vs grade. So for example, after feeding it some data, it will know:
At 25 MPH on flat ground, you might get 2 mi/kWh (aero is minimal here, so this is used to estimate weight)
At 65...
One thing I have noticed is that the display does not render the same thing that the car uses for critical obstacle avoidance. My adaptive cruise control still follows the vehicle in front of me with confidence while the cars might be dancing around me.
The other day, I had a semi-truck...
I'll admit I'm somewhat an anomaly; I love & contribute to OpenStreetMap. As such I will navigate literally everywhere.
Alexa has made it really easy to do this. Just speaking "Alexa, navigate to ___" and 4 times out of 5, it's flawless. The other 1/5 times it typically doesn't know where I...
Part of the problem is that so far, there's only 6 Dual Motor vehicles registered on Electrafi out of ~250 vehicles:

So I would expect there to only be ~600 Dual Motors in existence. Even less for Max Pack.
I am eagerly awaiting an Out of Spec video...
I know your post is in defense of Rivian (I agree), but I just don't understand any of the panel gap discussion.
This is about the only panel gap I'd be concerned about:
In terms of whether or not customers will be charged for features, RJ himself has said that they do not intend to if it requires barely any R&D. Other things like, say, Rivian's equivalent of """Full"" Self Driving", will be charged.
So basic features will be made available for free. That...
False. You can opt for either 400 hp, or 440 hp for... the same price ?
(All right fine, no upcharge on the motor thanks to an incentive. But still more than one motor offered).
I'm not ashamed to admit that I probably complained the most ? But rest assured my eyes will be glued to this screen as much as is safe when the hotfix comes through, lol.
To clarify, I'm not trying to suggest that the software doesn't have configuration flags and does things blindly. I was just pointing out the oddity that if the gauges should be visible to everyone, then it's strange that there's code at all to enable/disable whether someone can see the gauges...
FYI, industry standard is that the motor is not firmly associated to a trim level. Here's the Build Now page for an ICE F150 XLT. I can choose 2.7L V6, 3.5L V6, or a 5.0L V8.
One trim level, 3 different amounts of power, 3 different costs.
Rivian offers one trim; Adventure. Just like Ford...
