  1. New R1S Competitor: Cadillac Vistiq

    I would say this isn’t really for me. But I will say that captains chairs and supercruise are two pretty big positives over the Rivian. (Of course Rivian has its own other huge positives over the Cadillac).
  2. JuiceBox (Enel X Way USA LLC) shutting down business in North America

    Yeah, I was torn between a juicebox and a chargepoint in 2021 and the tie breaker for me was that I liked the look of the chargepoint more.
  3. Why are we paying for Connect +?

    Sure, let me rephrase. The highway assist experience is the same as the BlueCruise hands on experience. You can use BlueCruise hands on anywhere and it will function the same as highway assist functions on mapped highways. I think it functions really well, but it does monitor your eyes which I...
  4. Why are we paying for Connect +?

    Can confirm that the Mach E does not offer the same level of connectivity that Rivian does (ex hot spot not included). however, the Mach e does offer the hands on driver assistance feature for free and it does function better than Rivian’s currently (and it can function on any road - mapped or...
  5. (Buyer Beware) Don't Buy Your Rivian (Massive Day 1 Depreciation) - You're better off Leasing If You Can

    You guys realize that a lease is just paying for that same depreciation over 3 years, right? Some cases the depreciation will be more or less than the lease payments over those 3 years, it just depends on how well the actuaries did on constructing their models and if there’s any crazy...
  6. Was my truck pushed downhill?

    I am guessing that total kWh is all the kWh used. Efficiency accounts for kWh put into the battery via charging. What’s the difference? Regen. Total kWh used is probably counting a kWh that is spent but then recaptured through regen and spent again twice, whereas efficiency would only count that...
  7. 2024.27.1 and 2024.27.30 Update are rolling out for Gen1 and Gen2

    Just downloaded and tested out Apple Music. Sounds great. Atmos meets my expectations. For people looking to experience Atmos, just be warned that not all Atmos mixes are created equal. It really depends on the producer. The Beatles Atmos mixes are some of the best out there (Abbey Road...
  8. 2024.27.1 and 2024.27.30 Update are rolling out for Gen1 and Gen2

    I think you’ll want to make sure 3D sound is set to at least “On” in the audio settings to get Atmos. Some people may have turned it off prior
  9. Restocked: BestEvMod Lockable Drawer Tray - Limited Time Discount!

    Third purchase - replace the wireless charger with a good MagSafe option
  10. Does anyone else find the new side camera views distracting and useless?

    Really good for lane changes in heavy traffic where the lane you’re in has high probability to stop at any moment and you’re trying to merge into a lane that’s moving faster. Allows you to check the blind spot without fully diverting your vision from what’s in front of you. I think it makes...
  11. 2024.27 Software Update Gets Apple Music, Audible, Power Outlet Improvements

    Does the Apple Music update include Atmos audio within Apple Music or is that coming later?
  12. Rivian and VW exploring deeper collaboration: hardware and production

    Software sucked. Hated the haptic butttons and just little asinine decisions like the window controls or having the skip forward button be the down button on the steering wheel. Just seemed like they put almost no thought into how someone would actually use or interact with the car. a lot of...
  13. Rivian and VW exploring deeper collaboration: hardware and production

    As a former ID.4 owner - there’s very few concerns about the build quality. It’s just everything else about their EVs that is terrible
  14. The Volvo EX90 is a disaster that has cost the company Billions, will ship with missing features

    I would actually probably agree with the PM on all of these calls to push out via OTA later except the vampire drain issue which I think should be a launch blocking issue. But it also depends on the timelines they’re thinking they can have an OTA for the other items.
  15. The Volvo EX90 is a disaster that has cost the company Billions, will ship with missing features

    I agree with your point entirely and think it’s being made into a bigger deal than it actually is. This is the same thing Rivian did. The vampire drain seems like the most serious issue, but the first Rivians shipped seemed to have comparable drain before software updates rectified the issue...
  16. ? *BREAKING* Rivian & VW Announce Joint Venture -- VW Investing $1B in Rivian and another $4B to form JV for next gen EVs

    Will be good for VW. All the former ID.4 owners here know that VW EVs are absolute trash solely because of the software
