  1. Rivian should focus on features that set them apart from the rest of the industry, not AA/CP.

    Getting back to the original point of the thread: "Rivian should focus on features that set them apart from the rest of the industry, not AA/CP" that seems to be contradictory statement. Do we want them to spend time on features that set them apart, or do we want them spending time re-inventing...
  2. Anyone buying a Tesla with new price drop while they wait on their Rivian

    Ordered a Model Y LR and picking it up in a couple days. Never owned a Tesla so this will be my first experience. Wife and I really want the R1S for our family and road trip hauler but there's a pretty big price difference between the Model Y LR and the R1S as I'm post March 1st pricing. We're...
  3. Tires Wearing Out by 25k miles, 20 inch A/T

    My 21's in the front lasted a whole 11,000 miles. Thanks conserve mode!
  4. Front License Plate Mount that looks good and high quality?

    I would have loved to be able to do this, but unfortunately for me I travel through a lot of small texas towns on road trips and cops absolutely love giving tickets for minor BS like not having a front plate. Gotta get that small town revenue in somehow.
  5. Front License Plate Mount that looks good and high quality?

    I live in a state with front license plate requirements and didn't want to mess around with aftermarket license plates. I installed the factory license plate mounting kit via drilling holes in the bumper and called it a day. If you go this route make sure you enable the 360 camera before...
  6. Tesla Price Cuts Across The Board

    How can you remotely state that when you don't even know how much it's going to even cost? Is it going to start at 40K? 80K? 120K? No one knows, so making arrogant claims that it's going to "crush the competition" when the only thing we know about it is what Elon has stated (and he's not in any...
  7. Tesla Price Cuts Across The Board

    That's not at all what I said lol. CT is vaperware until it ships and once it does in 2034 we'll be on the R2 platform. Even still, I don't see how CT and Rivian are in the same league, just as I don't see the Rivian and Hummer EV in the same league. And also, they both can exist in the same...
  8. Tesla Price Cuts Across The Board

    Yeah, we do 0 offroading so it fits our use case perfect. We go on road trips every other week of ~500 miles with our dogs and I'd much prefer them in the back of an SUV vs in the bed of a truck. I've only got 2 kids at the moment so I don't need the 3rd row. So for us in our use case, they are...
  9. Tesla Price Cuts Across The Board

    Just received my VIN for my Model Y and scheduled my delivery. Ordered on the 13th and now my delivery is scheduled for the 24th, 11 day turn around. Honestly I can’t see how the R1S we have on order is going to come to fruition when it’s ~45K more (I’m post march pricing) and we don’t need 3...
  10. I added CarPlay to my R1T

    Interesting, I'll keep an eye on that and may look into it if I find the Tesla infotainment lacking. For mine, it mostly connects and doesn't have any issues with it. I do run into an issue about 1/5th of the time where it won't connect to the RoadTop unit, for some reason if you click the "i"...
  11. I added CarPlay to my R1T

    I've got a Model Y on order for the Wife, going to see how it compares to the Rivian to decide if the R1S is worth the 45K price difference which I suspect it won't be. Should be here in a couple weeks hopefully so I'm curious on their infotainment since they also don't have CarPlay but are...
  12. Rivian should focus on features that set them apart from the rest of the industry, not AA/CP.

    Them trading it “for a Trojan horse OS” was a last ditch effort to save the company. They didn’t adopt Android until 2015, when their market share was pretty hovering around 0%. Samsung adopted Android in 2009 and is now the largest smartphone maker, a title that could have easily been...
  13. Rivian should focus on features that set them apart from the rest of the industry, not AA/CP.

    I did in the sense that I spend a few hundred on a screen to add it so I can have basic functionality.
  14. Rivian should focus on features that set them apart from the rest of the industry, not AA/CP.

    I'd have to say that didn't work out very well for them. Coming from a Blackberry Enterprise Server manager in a past life, it was a complete piece of garbage. I was so happy the day we dumped it since everyone was complaining about having to use blackberry since everything else had switched to...
  15. Rivian should focus on features that set them apart from the rest of the industry, not AA/CP.

    I'm not stuck on CP/AA on being the only solution, but I will say it's the only solution that will scale long term with the limited number of developers Rivian currently has. Tesla is much larger than Rivian and it took them 7.5 years to bring Apple Music natively into Tesla's UI. Audible still...
  16. Need Waze integration

    Welcome to rivianforums, where if you’re not doing things the native existing rivian way then you’re doing it wrong. Not using Spotify? (And now tidal) then you’re wrong for needing whatever music service you want. Rivian nav not good enough? You’re using it wrong and should be ashamed. You need...
  17. New policy: can no longer transfer your own vehicle in Rivian system to another individual without proof of new ownership (registration, title, name)

    Side question, did you sell your R1T? I remember you received yours around the same time I got mine. Wasn’t sure if you sold it and are moving on since I’ve also seen your for sale posts for some accessories.
  18. Factors affecting range

    The biggest two that I've noticed is speed and wind. If there's a 20MPH head wind it can make a massive difference in efficiency. I haven't seen a noticeable difference with using anything in the vehicle or how quickly I drive, it's mainly just came down to head wind or lack thereof and how fast...
  19. R1S Review: "The Tesla Bronco Defender" -- Throttle House

    It only took them 7.5 years to implement it too! Here's to me hoping that we'll get it by 2029 and all the mean while people say "well it took Tesla 7.5 years to do it so give them a break". Glad we don't have any alternative solutions!
  20. R1S Review: "The Tesla Bronco Defender" -- Throttle House

    They were running the older version, if you look at 11:07 there's no snow mode
