I use mine pretty regularly. Usually for trips to the grocery store and Target, but mostly for our leftovers when we go out to eat so they donāt stink up the cab. š
*** NEWSFLASH ***
Rivian Assistant doesnāt work perfectly and solve world peace right out of the gate, therefore it sucks. Geesh people, give it a chance! š
Correct, Rivian Assistant has its shortcomings TODAY, but personally, Iāve already found productive uses for it in its current state. It...
Iād be interested in knowing how many have obtained or will be obtaining an extended warranty. I go back/forth on the ROI. I understand all it takes is one issue that requires thousands of dollars to addressā¦But I just wonder (statistically) how many people who purchase extended warranties...
For the record, Iāve had white wheels in the past (on a Miata I used to own). I never had any issues keeping them clean. I think the ācleanliness/dinginessā will only occur if one doesnāt make the effort to simply keep their vehicle clean and maintained. It was a non-issue for me. But...
Good point on vehicle weight v. pressure. This is the first EV truck Iāve ever owned, so Iām not sure I wouldāve considered vehicle weight to tire pressure ratio. Although, full disclosure, most of the trails Iāve ever been on didnāt require airing down or anything aside from a trip up in the...
A couple of questions, did you decrease air pressure before doing this? And what are your thoughts on the tires youāre running? Looks like a fun afternoon!
I think (hope) RJ and the entire Rivian design team are wiser than making promise after promise they know they canāt fulfillā¦which, to date, seems to be a large part of Elonās schtick. I had a Model Y Performance that I had the āpleasureā of having FSD for a month. To me, it was a party trick...
I would reckon that itās less efficient, creates more wear on brakes, and requires additional drivetrain/brake complexityā¦the return on investment (so to speak) doesnāt seem to be there for ICE vehiclesā¦because I think we can all agree that it all comes down to the bottom line for the...
In my younger years, before bifocals, I might have agreed with you. But, try driving a vehicle that has a camera image instead of a reflected image in the rear view mirrorā¦go ahead, Iāll wait. Notice how you have to crane your neck like youāre looking at the clouds just so you can see a clear...
I gave it a go on Thursday evening. 2022 Quad motor. It was about 50 degrees out, stock all terrain 20ā tires, very slight uphill. Launch seemed more āviolentā than it did before the update.
ā¦in a good way. š
Iād almost be willing to take looks out of the equation (and the SUV version of the Cybertruck, while still bad, is much better looking than the Cybertruck IMHO), but I have a hard time with the aluminum alloy frame, glued on body parts that come loose in the wind, all the sharp angles and...
Perhaps, more importantly, is no one going to mention Newt the cat? I mean, I think the cat is far more interesting than that stainless steel monstrosity Tesla calls a ātruckā. They had such a great opportunity to smash an EV truck out of the park, but chose the CT insteadā¦and the faithful...
Thatās fairā¦I know back when I was among the unclean and owned a *gasp* Tesla, I missed CarPlayā¦for about a week, then I got used to doing things in a different, but easily workable way. But yeah, for long trips and stuffā¦and even daily function CarPlay makes things easier, especially if thatās...
The phone integration isnāt the best. However, itās something one easily learns to work with. Would I prefer CarPlay? Absolutelyā¦but it wasnāt a deal breaker, I didnāt purchase my truck to be an infotainment hub. My biggest complaint with the phone integration is receiving messages. Unless...
