That would be amazing. The two things I am worried that I will miss, and possibly can’t get over not having, from my current car are: 1. CarPlay (text, Apple Music and nav integration) 2. Lane centering on all roads. I assume at some point in the next few years driver+ have will improved, but I...

Improved navigation, text message integration and more options for music / entertainment apps. (Most easily solved via CarPlay / AA)

I disagree. When aggregated across all EV's, extra vampire drain becomes a very meaningful amount of power drain. For a company with an environmentally conscious mission they should be aiming to minimize that as much as possible. Also, I will add, my ID.4 has basically no vampire drain. I...

I’ll be out of town, will have to miss this one. Have fun!

Has anyone with pre 3/1 pricing asked CS or a guide about switching it on the dual motor version? I wonder if they would let you and lower the price or if they flat out say no? I am in no hurry for delivery, so I would be curious. However I also would really like it to not be vaporware /...

That FG tuck with FE interior doesn't look too "green on green" in that state, which I am excited by as I currently am thinking of going FG/FE

2 things about that video: 1. As they wipe off the piece after the test, they never really wipe of the edge of the non protected side, making it look worse than it would otherwise. They wipe down the ppf side much more aggressively 2. The PPF clearly has a bunch of chips too. Yes the paint...

100% I agree with this. Sure we can learn new behavior. BUT, in a truck with 800hp, and multiple wheels freely spinning, pressing the accelerator more will always make people nervous. The whole "will I shoot forward too much once those wheels gain grip" worry. Not to mention the "I don't...

This, completely. If you are driving mostly around town, sitting at lights, or at slow speeds, the % of your power spent running the heater is way higher than sitting at 70 mph on the highway. At highway speeds, the heater draw is a much smaller percentage hit to efficiency as the energy to...

If you are going to get rock chips, you will likely get chips in your PPF. PPF isn't a magical shield that protects you from all unsightly blemishes. It does minimize some types of blemishes, but the ones you do get are harder to fix. Got a paint chip in your paint? Touch up paint fixes that...

Look at the number of vehicles sold annually by Subaru and Land Rover (and Jeep, and 4Runner’s). Don’t underestimate the size of the adventure market (and the adventure brand market for people who don’t actually “adventure”) at all price points.

R1S photos......

I expect you will stay quite dry when you attempt to cross the river of tears cried for your tax bill :) In all seriousness, congrats on probably making 45-50k post taxes after getting to play with the truck for 4K miles. Quite the deal.

Chiming in: when ever my R1S arrives (likely in about a year), I will be looking to find someone to buy these from. These are a good start, and if they were all that was available, I would get them. However, I am hoping by then you can buy: - a 3d printed wheel cap with the raised yellow /...

So long as at some point the lane centering works on non-mapped roads I will be happy

Overall conclusion, Driver+ is pretty good, but being geofenced to mapped highways sucks.

My take: neither 1. On the camp kitchen. It looks AWESOME. I would love it, buuuuut it is crazy expensive for what it is. You can buy a good induction burner that you plug in to the truck for like $100. I really like the concept, but the markup on it is nuts. Plus, I wouldn't use it...

Every time one of these threads pop up I drop in this link: It is the best, accessible to anyone, discussion on the topic I have found. If you are willing to read the sources and academic papers, you can do better, but this is a really good overview of cradle to grave emissions impact

I think it is less than 1% there if your 3 minutes of charging is returning you to 70%. 1% in 3 minutes = 20% an hour or around 25 kWh charging pace. The level 2 charger on a rivian can't do that much.

I personally find it very interesting that when the prices were hiked on 3/1, a massive number of people on the forum thought the truck was now too expensive or not worth it and cancelled orders. (and yes I recognize some people cancelled not because of cost, but because of broken trust - my...
