  1. New Drive Mode: Journey to the Center of the Earth Mode

    This was my reading for Badwater Basin. Who can get one higher?
  2. Garage Opener steering wheel button no longer shows up when I am at my home location

    I've had the same issue sporadically for about 2 months. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I just had it not work after a hard reset.
  3. Conversation with my neighbor... Are Rivian's really for rich people?

    There's always a path to winning. You usually just have to evaluate the really push on the cost/benefit side of lowering spending or massively raising income. And the path that appears usually isn't the one you expect. I'm saying this as someone who has won the game by your definition, albeit...
  4. R2 plant bodyshop is incredible! - RJ video

    My money is on a few to employees in May / June, and first release to the general public on June 42nd.
  5. Conversation with my neighbor... Are Rivian's really for rich people?

    Wealth, money, status, and being "rich" are an intensely personal thing that everyone sees through their own lens. It changes over time too. When I was 8, I though the kid with the bigger GI Joe set was rich. When I was a teen, I thought the kid with Oakley sunglasses was rich and spent his...
  6. Rivian repair by owner

    Rivian's aren't designed to be worked on by end consumers. The vehicle is great, but the design philosophy is not. Rivian's response to "right to repair" is "lol". Documentation isn't available and parts aren't available. Even something like a simple latch replacement or 12v battery...
  7. US Congress introduces ‘SAFE Exit Act’ targeting electronic doors

    The third (and most common) approach is to leave it generally vague and let the courts figure it out through litigation. Or maybe that's the "common sense" approach.
  8. Anti-EV agenda

    Policy changes will impact the pace of adoption, and will create a ceiling on adoption. These policy changes won't kill the market. It will kill individual automakers EV plans, but not the whole market. Ford's new low-price EV platform is still coming to the US. GM has close to enough...
  9. What winter upgrade did you think you'd need… but didn’t?

    Summit county is wild right now. I went for a hike with the hills and mountains bare of snow except for the highest peaks and some shaded northern slopes. I took a break and read a book over lake Dillon. It looked like a beautiful 55 degree sailing day. My pictures from a similar weekend...
  10. Rivian "can’t wait to bring R2 to you this year!" (Pre Production Assembly Photos & Happy 2026 New Year Message)

    I'm in agreement with you. This autonomy stuff is maybe interesting to ~3% of overall car-buyers and 10-20% of Telsa/Rivian EV enthusiasts. The market for this just isn't that deep, particularly if it's a subscription cost. It's not going to sell a lot of vehicles, and it's not going to sell...
  11. What winter upgrade did you think you'd need… but didn’t?

    Snow tires. I do need them for snow, but apparently that weather phenomenon was a pre-Anthropocene thing in Colorado. Seriously, where is the snow this year?
  12. Rivian's in-car UI is better than Tesla's

    As someone who owns both, I agree. Tesla has succumbed to feature creep and option bloat. It's become harder to navigate and find things. I feel the same way about iOS. However, Tesla is much less glitchy and bug prone. I can't remember the last time I needed to reset the software on my...
  13. Where $RIVN is Headed in 2026?

    Up 25%-50% if the R2 launch is relatively drama free and it launches to good reviews, strong demand, and within expectations on price/performance, etc. The stock goes massively down if the launch goes poorly.
  14. Cannonball Run EV record attempt in a modified R1T

    This is by far the coolest thing I've ever seen done in a Rivian. We need more of this in the world, and as @kallisti5 mentioned, right to repair is critical for projects like this to happen. Edit to add: I think the way to the record is a Lucid Gravity. It has significantly better...
  15. 3rd party wall chargers ok or not?

    A charger is a charger. I have a Grizzl-e one. It works fine. Think of it as the plug for any other device, just attached to the wall instead of the device. Honestly, avoid all of the chargers with "smart" features. All of those features are available through the Rivian app, and having...
  16. 1.4kWh Daily usage since .46 Update

    I've noticed sporadic days with high energy use recently, but nothing I can pin down specifically. One hypothesis is that it's related to turning on the HVAC remotely (unscheduled). I believe the truck kept the hvac on long after I finished my short trip. I've noticed it less as I'm being...
  17. R2 buyers - will you wait for gen 3 hardware (including LiDAR)?

    I didn't vote for the simple reason that I'm not in the market for a car in the next year. If I were, the whole Lidar autonomy thing wouldn't factor into my decisions. I'm happy if I have quality adaptive cruise control. I'll use anything else provided, but I don't care enough about all this...
  18. Cybertruck Laugh of the Day [⚠️ WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS BANNED]

    I guess we get to test whether everyone who "would have bought it if it was a $40k vehicle" actually meant it.
  19. NY to Boca with 2 Toddlers over the holidays - what’s your top 5 tips for charging?

    I haven't done the east coast, but my general tips: Have your partner help with Nav & charging plans, and talk about it beforehand. Traveling with toddlers means most of your stops will be centered around the kiddo's needs instead of whatever well-laid out charging plans you've developed...
  20. A bunch of used r1 in Montana?

    I'm in no way an expert in this topic, but I've met a few people that are. The rules for nexus get complex and aren't always intuitive for companies like you describe. This is what tax lawyers get paid for, and there are methods for apportioning revenue between states (which is different from...
