I can't believe it has to be mentioned, that there are vastly more cell towers than radio towers. In my closest adventure area nearby, there's ok cell coverage and no radio. Too far.

Because dummies would do it, and waste energy, brake pads, and then whine that their range is half of the promised range.

Nissan is well known for making shitboxes, so don't compare their probably faulty implementation to a modern EV. It took me all of five minutes to get used to it, and now I curse having to drive an ICE without it.

I find it a bit shocking--and this isn't a directed attack on you--that people don't know it already is legally mandated. Every phone for...maybe a decade? Maybe more? Has had this built in. I'm surprised you haven't received one, there was a test some time ago that woke me up, and I...

Idiots. Thanks for the warning, I've written my politicians to ask them to vote against it. I haven't used either satellite nor FM since they became obsolete in the early 2000s, and still have all the media I could want when away from both cell and FM. And AM radio, well, I fondly recall that...

It has a GPS receiver. Rivians have never had satellite radio.

There's probably an equivalent on eBay or Amazon for $17.

Yup, mine too. What they have never done well is timely service. WEEKS without the truck, shitty ICE rentals. The people are awesome, mostly. Except for the idiocy they pulled about my cargo tracks in the bed. Ordering parts days AFTER the truck was dropped off? In what world is that...

Wonder how many times he lied about CarPlay?

You can call Rivian and ask them to escalate this to a manager for review. I did this once, and she was excellent. Reviewed my call recordings, text conversations, and photos. It was fast too. They decided to cover $2k in towing and repairs. (The issue was totally different though.)

Rivian…great service… I have a Rivian and will keep it long term because all the other EV trucks are a joke. I need a truck, and I refuse to drive ICE again. Even my Jeeps (3) had fewer repairs and service was astronomically better. I think that buying the SUV Rivians is insane.

I heard he was doing US shipping now, is that where yours is coming from? Or direct from EU?

100% disagree, and every test on these fake ceramics shows they last only a short time. IE months instead of years. They also have vastly less protection. Also disagree on the PPF, but then again, I now have it (for a color change, plus it was free). Well, OTOH, if it's "pay $5k to get...

Maybe gen 1 is different, that's what I have. Pretty sure there's only ever been one single wash mode. You go to wash mode, then IF you are in a tunnel, you ALSO hit neutral. My doors stay unlocked, but with the flapper thing closed. Press the front, so the rear pops out, and open the door...

In case you aren't aware, doing this job isn't rocket surgery, and the amount saved is astronomical. I've done three of my own cars, a couple motorcycles, and helped four friends on theirs. Sure it takes all day, but again, not hard or technical. On a brand new car, you can usually simply do...

It's sad that we have to add a $1k little box with open-source self driving code written by some goofball who just decided to do so one day, on a $100k truck. Anyway, like CarPlay, those are still good compromises for me, relative to the absolute JOKE that the other EV trucks are. But for an...

By an AI even. Shame. Go stand in the corner. First day on the internet? This is not how it works. Absolutely ridiculous. Long ago I towed with a Jeep which had GREAT adaptive behavior while towing. My current solution to all of the crappy ADAS in the RIvian is a Comma 4. I've even...

As do the other vehicles with adaptive that I've driven. It's ridiculous not to.

This is something where I think there should be massive warnings before you buy. Disabling such an important feature is ridiculous. It's one of several reasons I'd choose a Tesla over a Rivian if I didn't really need a truck. Another towing-related problem is the lack of compatible...
