I have the R1T, but my wife's coworker is one of those EX90 disaster stories.
This coworkers first EV roadtrip turned into a disaster. Somehow, they managed to trip some type of safety switch or control that disabled fast-charging. A half-day trip from Denver to Grand Junction turned into an...
I'd say go for it. I'd guess most owners also experience some issues. I have.
But the vast majority of issues are resolved quickly and without complaint.
The pros absolutely outweigh the cons.
I'm happy to see Colorado and Utah getting some love. I won't personally use the Denver & Boulder locations, just because I charge at home in Denver. But chargers in denser urban areas seem to be high traffic, and I imagine they're profitable much sooner.
I'll probably use the Idaho Springs...
I’m no software engineer, but I’ve worked in Silicon Valley companies long enough to know that you’re operating on some outdated assumptions.
Google operates by connecting every single relevant data point to every other relevant data point unless there is some legal reason not to.
Your lack of...
How'd you get $290.50 at the Denver service center?
They charged by $292.50 for an alignment on June 23rd. I feel I got ripped off for $2. (/s).
I had hoped to do it when I got new tires, but the Discount Tire in Denver on Colfax said they can't do Rivian's yet.
I had seen in called four mile in a guidebook, but I don’t know if I that’s an official or unofficial name.
This particular road is called “Trail 311” on Google, but there’s a bigger network of roads and OHV trails through there. It runs roughly from Antero Junction to Buena Vista.
I've been having a lack of outdoor time this summer with kids, travel, and work commitments. So I decided to go camping mid-week while my wife and kids were traveling.
It was a one-night camping trip from Tuesday into Wednesday, while cutting out of work a little early on Tuesday, and starting...
I will feel more comfortable traveling through Durango with a RAN there.
The Durango Transit Center will still be my first choice because it's a nice location near downtown, and more importantly, $0.33/kWh.
After a winter blowout that couldn't be repaired, I replaced one of my 21" pirelli tires with a brand new one. This is my current spare, and it has never been driven on.
I just replaced the rest of my worn 21" pirelli's with the Michelin Defenders.
I plan to do a 4 tire rotation and just keep...
I've very happy with my forest green, but I had hoped to make a future purchase (in some number of years) to be canyon red.
I hope whatever new colors they come out with end up on the more colorful side. We don't need more silvers, grays, dunes, or similar. Color is good.
It's impossible to evaluate based on the publicly available information.
Also needs to have something VERY special to justify much of a valuation at all. e-bike makers are more in the bankruptcy business than the profitability business these days.
Buying a car is a big financial decision.
Question #1: Do you need to buy a car in the next year? If the answer is no, then don't buy a car. Changes to tax law should factor into which car you buy when you need one. Not whether you should buy a car.
Buying a slightly used Tesla in a year...
Yep. Rivian clearly doesn't have the market power to make Apple not screw over Apple customers.
Rivian does have the power to build non-shitty music alternatives.
I blame Apple for enshitifying their music product.
I blame Rivian for not coming up with some alternative.
What's even worse is these new dumb streaming platforms somehow manage to be a worse deal for both consumers and artists.
Add up the annual cost of a streaming service and math out how much music you can buy. One to two years of streaming costs is probably about what most people would buy in...
Ah well. I had momentarily gotten my hopes up. I'm okay with the Connect+ subscription, because I get real value from that in multiple ways, and I realize data is a service that costs money.
I'm old enough that I was once dumb enough to put real money into an iTunes collection. I find it...
Is it confirmed that this works with the Rivian infotainment?
I have my old iTunes collection (which included ripped from CD music id'd in iTunes) in Apple Music, and the Rivian wouldn't let me log on without a paid Apple Music subscription. I wasn't aware of this "Match" service though.
This...
Looks like a good trip!
I find these trips are good opportunities to look for free or cheap L2 charging in the general vicinity of where you're going. The city is running a number of chargers at rec centers now. I don't know how universal they are, but the ones by me are free for two hours...
Yea, I understand the concerns. I’m lucky to be 10 minutes from a service center.
The service center footprint presumably will expand with the R2 launch. That will make all trims more accessible in more cities. Also, outside service companies (Safelight, Discount Tire) are getting more...
