Emergencies highlight a weakness of EVs, which is refueling time. Gas cars also have fuel bottlenecks, but one can keep a can of gasoline in the garage, and most ICEs will give you ~200 miles with fast refueling available at the end. Not so with EVs. Being trapped with my EV in a power-down...

Also between 17 and 0.

I don’t turn blended braking off because I want my brakes to be consistent regardless of state of charge or conditions. This mushy pedal is a glaring inconsistency, though.

Rivian's UX is not my cup of tea, and the software has so very many bugs. They need to focus and actually deliver something baked.

It's definitely much easier to do the raw acceleration thing than to make an efficient car.

You’re missing some poll options from $17 to $0.

The glass is not the same. EVinsulate is working on an R1T product, but it's not out yet.

That's hard for me to do, as I am not driving the R1S and R1T back to back in the same conditions, sadly. I recently completed a trip through mountainous Eastern British Columbia with the R5s and didn't encounter any issues in the snow and in the cold (32F to -1 F). The LT3s do at least look...

Twice on a recent road trip I needed to rapidly decelerate from 60+ MPH on a dry road. Regen was set to high. Upon pressing the brake pedal, the brakes felt "dead"--like I didn't have any hydraulic assist. Upon taking my foot off and re-applying, the brakes then seemed to "work". I think this...

Here's my temperature data from electrafi.com. The efficiency percentage is based on 360 nominal miles, so at 10-15F we’re at 243 miles real world range. Most of those miles are slower than highway speeds. Temperature Wh/Mile Efficiency % Miles Recorded 10 to 15 F 561.13 67.5 155 15 to...

A 1.5kW space heater in a room isn't perhaps the best comparison. A room is heavily insulated (especially the roof) and has real glazed windows with a vacuum in the middle. I don't think any EV has vacuum windows (though they do have acoustic glass with multiple layers). There is tons of glass...

With respect to infotainment: I respect the effort to implement your own, but if I use this product it would be 100% for CarPlay. I wouldn't use any of the infotainment features.

And it's not even logic. It's an unexplainable, fickle neural net. Good luck verifying that it's safe to drive you around on the highway. I trust Waymo, but nobody else.

This kind of post would earn you a hard mute from me, except that your propaganda is too dangerous to actually ignore. Any kind of abrupt stop of a vehicle is a major safety issue. Secondarily, if the battery dies in an ICE the alternator will keep the car driving. Yes, the ICE is safer in...

If that happens, Rivian will face at least one lawsuit from an owner for breaking a car which they rightfully own.

Is this solution able to take advantage of the native resolution of the center display, or is upscaling involved?

I am super excited to hear about this project. My personal #1 is high quality (perhaps even multichannel) audio output to the Rivian speakers. Second wish: the ability to prevent my phone from automatically joining CarPlay as I move about the house and my car is parked in my garage. Perhaps the...

Rivian has lost $25 billion dollars on high end cars which were supposed to subsidize R2 development. Instead the opposite happened. They make unreliable cars, offer exceptionally long service wait times, ans ignore what their customers really want (bug free software and CarPlay). The front end...

This happened one of my rear covers but not the other. It was etched badly, and washing didn’t help. I think it came from the factory that way. Service replaced it under warranty.

Hey, Rivian looks to be sending me my second NACS adapter for my second Rivian. It hasn't arrived yet, but I did receive the confirmation email. Kudos, Rivian! I do actually need this! It is appreciated.
