Plug type doesn’t really matter. It’s access to chargers, which will be the same either way regardless of the shape of the plug you stick into your Rivian and which adapter you use

I’m indifferent to Gary. I think the cel-shaded UI is cool. But I do agree that I hate the Gary badging on the new quad. If a gary badge came in my Rivian, it would definitely get the dental floss / blow dryer removal first thing when I got home. Regardless of how you feel about the mascot, I...

You want me to watch an hour long videos to get 30 seconds of “Rivian should have CarPlay!!”? Not today, Satan…..

Bug means that the product team defined how it should work but the tech implementation is not working. New feature means that it was not originally defined by product or implemented by tech

Will I be exiled if I say gear guard badge on the quad is the biggest downgrade? Looks bad to me…

I agree that Rivian will never support android auto or CarPlay; however, Google cast and YouTube integration have nothing to do with that. 1) there are cars with YouTube built in that still support AA/CP (my Mach e, for instance) 2) this allows casting of video from apps. CarPlay and android...

Hot take incoming - Heat pumps are not as important as people make them out to be Here’s my reasoning they lose effectiveness in super cold temperatures where cold starts to impact range the most Battery temps and resulting range hit are most important for long distance road trips. These...

what about someone like me that’s using the same official adapter but Ford sent it to me instead of Rivian?

Looking forward to the follow up post from OP in a month “I changed my mind on Max Pack [again]”

I’ve never even seen an option to select a date at Bellevue SC, so I’m impressed

eh I don’t really like their scoring though. Also, if you watch the video for the Mach E, for instance, at the end they talk about how the new version of BlueCruise is probably actually the best ADAS they’ve tested yet, but it doesn’t fully reflect in the scores.

BlueCruise is great. I commute in my Mach e and it makes the commute so much better. Commuting in the R1S would not be as enjoyable because of the ADAS deficits

This makes more sense. Would have to be a company that makes poor decisions and hasn’t done anything to invest in this front on their own already. Stellantis would also make sense to me. Maybe JLR

Good for Rivian / the CS rep / the manager. You don’t see companies supporting employees enough when they’re in the right

What about checking the Avalanche-bed-sails box?

Check with your utility provider to see if they provide any EVSEs at a discount. Usually they do and usually that’s the best choice.

Ceramic coating probably helps more with ease of cleaning. But PPF for sure will keep the bug guts off the paint which is good because the acidity can damage your paint if they’re left on too long. you can also do PPF plus ceramic coating. PPF helps more with rock chip and ceramic helps more...

I saw a couple matte blue ones around and thought they looked really nice, but then saw a black one and realized that the only thing I really liked from the car was the matte blue paint

Based on the ford rollout I think they’re sending out roughly 1000 in each shipping batch. Ford is using the exact same adapter supplied by Tesla that Rivian will be using

The Porsche is a million times better road tripper than the Rivian though even if the range seems low at first glance. The reason is because the Porsche has a charge curve that kicks ass which is actually the most important thing cutting down the total travel time on an EV roadtrip.
