Agreed. I did an informal family and friend survey over the holiday. There was near zero interest. In my friend circle there is one person excited about it.

They are not going to show the really good stuff until the big January event. I'm going to guess they are much farther along than these images might suggest.

My experience is documented here. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/winter-driving-update-nokian-outpost-nat-review-big-efficiency-hit.51658/ keep in mind the speed, 55mph average on my route. A higher speed freeway run will have a quite a bit lower average efficiency but the delta...

My issue could be a coincidence.... My Gen 2 had a history of very low vampire drain. But when I updated to .46 I started seeing BIG losses parked away from home. Now, even plugged in I'm losing 4.5 kWh per 24 hours. I know that can be associated with a failing 12V. The 12V failure could be...

Cause and effect is not clear but I got the Replace 12V Battery Now message this morning. Have an appointment for Friday. As noted above, I was seeing 4.5 kWh of vampire drain while parked for just one hour when I had the Proximity/Remote entry phone as key enable while using .46 software. Saw...

Have you kept the jump source on the hitch leads for a long time? Like many minutes? Some posts I’ve read have talked about that.

Don't know what WoTs are so I need to ask this question; Did you drive it hard like a sports car? Lot's of hard accelerations and long high speed runs with rapid battery discharging? Long exposures to high ambient temperatures? It's more degradation than I would have thought. My Rivian...

Just did a small experiment. Drove the truck to a nearby park. Left it there for 1 hour with the "remote entry" off. Went back and found it consumed 0.3 kwh vs 4.5 kWh the previous two times I parked it for one hour away from home. I've been a long time critic of the phone as key feature...

I was about to post a thread... Twice now I've gone someplace and parked for 1 hour and it's consumed 4 kWh of energy while parked! Have not had this problem before. At home it does not consume much while parked. I was about to blame the new phone as key feature. I've never used it...

I think the Subaru Outback should be on your list. It's a VERY common sight in my neck of the woods.

I'll offer a counter argument on resale values. The recent market trends have shown most EV customers value affordability and range. Not autonomy (see 15% up-take on Telsa "FSD"). If the Gen 3 R2 costs thousands more because of the autonomy features (likely, IMO) + subscription fees. The...

Yes we have a reservation. Within the first 10 minutes of opening the list. No! We are not waiting for Gen 3. My wife and I have zero interest in self driving features. What we currently have on our Gen 2 R1T very rarely gets engaged. We will step up for the team and take one of the first...

I had always told myself my R2 would come in April. Now I’m thinking March. Won’t rule out late February….

True enough. But, it let me do it so some bone-head out there is going to be doing it. Be careful everybody!

I love the center map display. I've been a huge critic of Phone as Key but this new version looks to be massively better. I can use it now and not be frustrated! Attached video of a demo drive on a very dirty, snowy, icy rural road where the R1T let me engage hands free. Yes, Rivian...

Minnesota driver. Just appeared on the Rivian UI that the update is ready to install.

And what will used car buyer value in a 5 year old car? A bigger battery and more range or more autonomy? I think they will want and be willing to pay for more range but not autonomy that requires a subscription fee. The resale argument for the Gen 3 hardware falls a bit flat for me.

Sounds perfect to me. A thought experiment for everyone. Given these two options which would you choose. Pricing is the same between options A and B A. An R2 with a “large” battery pack and the Gen 2 autonomy hardware B. An R2 with a “standard “ battery pack and the Gen 3 hardware. I...

I Will only use if endorsed by Rivian. Sounds promising on paper but much we don’t know.

I don’t know for sure but it is colder now and maybe the algorithm takes into account lower driving efficiency and slower charging?
