Finally! Just in time for the holidays. This location is going to get a workout in the coming weeks.

Did they have to replace the battery pack with a hit like that? Agreed. $5000 is the minimum required in CA, which won't cover anything more than some broken plastic trim pieces. Any more damage than that will easily take it over the minimum. The sad things is, the stupid people who usually...

I think the flat 36c nationwide is Rivian's attempt to keep it simple for themselves at point in time. Even with a relatively small number of RAN, the actual electricity cost is highly variable at each location and times. I don't think they have the resources to figure it all out yet. Took...

The Q2 2024 changes do sound fairly significant. In addition to the wiring and ECU updates, RJ mentioned today about structural and HVAC changes. Heat pump? Improved battery cooling? So many possibilities.

Congrats to the the team drivers and Rivian! Maybe next year Rivian will actually pony up some money and become an official sponsor.

I've been seeing more and more Rivians in my area parking lots. Today as I was walking above one, I notice just how flat the windshield is. The Rivian windshield looked almost like a flat pane of glass. It seems like most all cars have varying amounts of curvature in their windshield...

The one thing you can't blame on the hail is that terrible sounding door clunk when he closes the door. :clap:

Every time I am directly behind a Rivian, I think to myself that the brake lights are way too small and hard to see. For such a giant rear end, the brake lights are just a tiny short strip of red LEDs. Since Rivians are so tall, when you are in lowish sedan or CUV, you are staring right at...

I have seen many post about regen cutting out or severely dialed back after a shorter than expect stretch of downhill decent. Maybe I missed the post, but I'm not sure anyone every confirmed the exact reason. Was there a thermal limit being reached on some kind for a component like the...

For pre 3/1 pricing people, I see a $70k DM R1T. Lowest price ever for a Rivian! For the R1T, the standard DM is $2500 less than the performance DM. I don't think this cost difference will be the same for R1S. The way Rivian configured the R1S, the performance DM is the base cost and quad...

I know one CEO that would just answer all the questions with the words "Next Level!", "Insane!", "Badass!"

Use a label printer to print a big message that says "Use button to close frunk ⬇" and stick it above where the button is. It may not stop hand closing 100% of the time but should be good enough to remind kids, strangers, myself, and of course the SO.

Don't forget about the Pizza Hut!

He should learn from my Fedex driver. That guy must carry around his own portable boombox. I can feel my windows shaking when he pulls up to my house with the music blasting. Saves him from needing to ring the doorbell to come sign. :CWL:

Did you use Driver+ on any parts of 101? Done that trip up 101 several times and there is almost no section of the freeway that is truly strait. You pretty much always need to be paying attention and adjusting steering and throttle the whole time. It can get pretty exhausting after a few hours.

I can see the logic. Lower price point gets shorter warranty. Make sense from financial standpoint and cost tiers. Kinda like a Lexus gets comprehensive warranty of 4yr/50K, but a Toyota only get 3/36K. Lexus powertrain gets 6ry/70K but Toyota gets 5yr/60K. It can be the same exact...

It's relatively low cost to put in L2 chargers. No need to put in expensive AC/DC power cabinets. They're probably utilizing the existing power that is already in facility. I bet the hardest part of the project is convincing the park service to let them install chargers in those spots. I...

One day someone will get the real story of why they launched with the dual Pb batteries. I agree it's not a wonderful design, which is why Rivian updated it as soon as they could. Yes, in the automotive world 1 year is fast for a hardware update, unless cars are blowing up or people are dying...

Engineers who design this stuff for a living are shaking their heads right now.

When you say it would not take a charge, what do you mean? What was the voltage of this capacitor when you first got to it? Was it fully discharged or already charged to 12V?
