Had the console armrest doors lock us out for the first time while cleaning my Rivian yesterday. I don't think it knw we were in the car... doors had been open for a while for vacuuming and leather cleaning. Screens were dark. Had to depress the brake to "wake" and the console unlocked.
I get it... we're still in the early stages, but I think the research already shows that self driving is far safer than human driving by a ratio of something like 6:1. We can't react as quickly as machines can. That said, I'm sure the internet is full of people claiming that FSD is at fault...
I'm still on the fence about Cybercab's looks. The Van/minibus concept was definitely cool. I think many people are sweating the details and upset that there weren't hard numbers and stats delivered. If you saw this as an automotive product reveal, you missed the point entirely. The main...
In theory, a full freezer should keep contents frozen for up tp 48 hours. The problem is that you never know how long it will take for power to be restored. We lost power shortly before midnight on the Friday that Helene made landfall. When we didn't hear anything from our relatively small...
OK, this might be a stupid question, but is it even possible to do a 4 tire rotation (I don't have a spare) using jack pucks and one tire jack? I'd want to do an "X" style rotation Driver side front to Passenger rear, etc. Once I have one corner jacked up and a wheel off, then what?
Do people...
Wonder why no aero wheels? Not for range, just to be more slippery. Weight?
... and how's this for random- The music at the end... is that an acoustic "reimagining" of Duran Duran's instrumental "Tiger Tiger" from their 3rd album?
Interesting... I wonder how often this data gets updated. A couple of days ago I noticed that my Rivian showed a speed limit of 85mph on a highway where it 65 is posted... I drive this road almost every day, so I knew it wasn't right. It's one of the few places I dive regularly where Driver+...
This is happened to me twice today.
I leave my Rivian parked and walk away, it chirps to indicate that it is locked. I go shopping or whatever, return to the Rivian and walk to the rear with a handful of items. I press the rubber hatch button under the "V", it opens on the first click, but...
Cool! I'm already paying for 5G connectivity with iPhone, so it seems kind of dumb to pay an additional $15 a month for a slower (LTE) connection, unless Rivian found a way to get my Gen1 R1S on a 5G network with my Connect+ subscription.
Rocket Man and some of the remixed Beatles stuff demonstrate some really good re-interpretations of the original mixes. Some great spacial audio and 360-degree panning and effects without ruining the original spirit and feel of songs that EVERYBODY already knows so well. I'm sure it wasn't an...
Lets hope the result will be like when Tony Stark realizes that his technology is being used by terrorists overseas and soon we will all be asking "Who is the Iron Optimus?"
Rivian Engineers- assign a "Rivian wave" feature to a steering wheel button (Maybe the garage door opener when away from home location).
This could be a Camp light flash as camp lights are proprietary to Rivan vehicles.
Ideally, the flash sequence would an "R" in Morse code, which is...
I don't believe the EV Base crossbars work in the bed. They used to have a photoshopped image of an R1T with their crossbars on the roof and they even removed the bed anchor points in the picture... like they don't even exist. Since they don't have adjustable widths, they can't work in both...
You both got scammed, those are on Amazon for $199. EVBase doesn't even change out the stickers for their "enhanced" version claiming to have a $699 retail price.
Seriously Rivian? These appear 3 days after I ordered the OLD silver ones for my old Gen1 R1S that I picked up the same week they shut down the plant to retool for Gen2 ????
Perfect
