Or they could create an in-car LLM AI assistant that could answer naturally spoken questions? Oh, wait, they just did. And it's been more than a full year since they rolled out the in-mobile-app text-based version?
Right. There are outliers of course. But majority of Supercar buyers don't buy them to be plain or understated. This car, like any other more "practical" models from exotic brands are meant to: 1. Diversify their business—offer a mild everyday-use option to existing customers, so they don't buy...
And I didn't say "read the fucking manual", which I could have. What I said was there are lots of mysteries waiting to be dispelled if any owner would just take a little time to flip through it, instead of dismissing it. It's called the Owner Guide for a reason, instead of Someone Else's Guide...
To be fair... For brands whose primary business (and history) is in sleek and low-slung GT/sports cars, there isn't much they can do when attempting to make SUVs that still adhere to their brand's design/traditions. Jaguar, Porsche, Lamborghini... it's the same primary brand defining design...
Or you can look at the manual and learn much more than what you didn't know and could have know... if you knew to help yourself to a collection of knowledge you've had all along, on three different platforms (in case one doesn't know that too).
Or you can read/see everything as a personal...
It's a Ferrari. It will still sell despite controversy. This one, to the well-heeled tech savvy boys/girls who want it as a status symbol and fashion accessory. The well-heeled Ferrari diehards will not buy it. They looked down on it like the Mondial and 400 was once treated (but enjoyed...
100% this. Do not buy an EV from any legacy brands who are EV skeptics. You do not want to be a part of their half-assed experiment and preloaded anti-EV statistic. They should be paying you, not the other way around.
Unless delivered as new with crack, nearly all OEMs will rule wear and tear and not covered. Even if you claim to not have witnessed impact. This is what you have comprehensive auto insurance for. IIRC from past threads, the dynamic roof is 2800.
Instead of complaining about not getting the updates ASAP, they’d be complaining about everyone having bad updates all at once and how dumb Rivian is to do that. 🙄
And even without trial or subscription, it’s really not important to be among first. It’s extremely rare for anyone, within Rivian’s supported markets, to be left behind. And in the rare case where the wrong software build is pushed out, it’s actually an advantage to be unaffected; because it...
They are getting a dual. Conserve (FWD) is default drive mode, so there isn’t a Conserve mode. They do need to be aware that driving in low and lowest ride height induces more and more negative camber, which will manifest in uneven and premature tire wear. Ride heights below standard is best...
Set regen on high. More consistent and confidence inspiring. The rest, don’t worry about it. You’ll figure out your personal preferences eventually. Read the owner guide. OTAs are never pushed all at once. That’s the worst thing to do to deploy updates. Rivianroamer.com has an excellent...
Light trucks didn’t have to meet same standards as passenger cars. And back then manufacturers didn’t think as much about keeping customers alive longer to buy more cars.
Doesn’t mean a hitch or hitch mounted device should be used for such reasons. It only demonstrates the cars that hit it was softer and sustained more damage as result. Crash a heavier or more rigid car into it, at same exact speed, the result would be reversed. Energy transfers through path of...
If longevity is what you’re after, Hankook Ion HT probably has the highest UTQG. Efficiency doesn’t appear to be its strongest. Should still be more efficient than AT.
