Does this mean that Rivian is ending their partnership with Miir?

You might want to check that statement. Most luxury brands have done aware with included maintenance for the first 3 years.

Did you happen to park on the south side of a newer two story home? Low E windows can cause a reflection from the second story down to the driveway or street and it can get hot enough to melt just about anything. it's insane what the sun can do if reflected down to your car. There are many...

I think you are overthinking this a bit, this isn't really an issue and the Bainbridge ferry isn't long enough to really worry about it. I sit in my car for an hour with the heat or AC blasting and listening to music and I never have issues with the 12v. Most of the 12v issues were early on...

I have towed our Malibu 23LSV with the R1S. Range is about half. My boat is 7500# on the trailer, I would imagine elevation gain is going to really effect the number more. I'd plan for stops every 50-60 miles to give some buffer.

Agree that with the AC not working you just can't drive the car comfortably. The SC originally informed me of a long lead time, but then they understood how critical the issue was and they fit me in the next morning. We aren't really EV people... but it is my wife's car and she hates having to...

For what it's worth... I am also in Scottsdale and had some cooling concerns with our R1S last summer. Quick visit to the SC and adding a sunscreen completely solved the issue. To the point that we were the AC now works so well that we all laugh about getting to cold and needing to turn the...

Why would Apple take on the liability of Rivian (or any car company). Apple is in high profit businesses. with services being on the top of that list. They can already get this revenue from vehicles via Carplay and their other integrations. They are in the absolute best position... auto...

Sounds like management made their decision and they don't believe a phone call is needed since they are not going to change their mind. Would it make you feel better for a manager to call you and say "no"? It is quite common for CS reps to refrain from escalating calls to management unless it...

What is kind of amazing to me is that GM (of all companies) seems to have done a really good job at nailing hands free driving with SuperCruise. I have used it on my Escalade for the last three years and it is pretty amazing. Long road trips (like 1500 miles long) and even pulling my 23'...

I believe the agreements Apple had with automakers REQUIRE then to allow Apple to take over the screens (or you don't get Carplay). This is why GM is revolting against Apple.

I think you would be more frustrated if you had the adapter sent to you in the mail and were told "it doesn't work yet, wait 2 months for us to enable thing on the backend". At least the hard part is done. The easy part is sending out an adapter.

Only thing I miss about our Audi EtronS was charging ports on both sides.

Looked in my account... I ended up with two R2 reservations :-O. Looks like they did hit me for 2x $100. The system gave me an error the first time I clicked "reserve" and made it look like the credit card info was incorrect. I typed everything again and hit the submit button again and that...

Sure. but in practice I will disagree. No one needs an RS, AMG, Plaid, or M either... but they pay for it because it is fun, and they don't care how often they need to stop to fill the "tank" :) And sometimes fun wins over everything else (but "fun" tends to be more expensive than being...

This is sitting in the shop. Just ask them to swap out the wheels. Or just buy it and find the 22 brights on craigslist (22" brights are fairly easy to find). Don't wait around just because of the wheels.

Owning a car company doesn't bring any value to Apple... in fact it probably hurts their efforts in the long run. The "win" for Apple is owning the software and telematics in a car. The actual vehicle is simply a means to own the software and related services revenue. Apple has essentially...

The only vehicle I wish I had added paint protection to is the one vehicle that I didn't add it to. :-/ So yes.. it is worth it.

I don't remember anything on Rivian's literature that stated "buy a Rivian because it is cheaper to drive". If that was the reason for purchasing an 80-100k truck/SUV.. then I think you purchased the wrong vehicle.

I believe this is exactly why Rivian doesn't want to jump in bed with Apple. Apple wants control of ALL screens, the entire experience. Apple isn't going to build their own car... they are simply going to own the screens in all the cars on the road (so they also own monetization of services)...
