Probably necessary to facilitate getting in the 3rd row. I’ve heard the rear doors on the truck are kind of narrow, and can be a little tricky to get in for some folks.

They could use the pedestrian speaker to blare out some uncapped diesel exhaust noises, so everyone else can know for sure you are "one of the boys".

Same. Chat is usually at least responsive, if, as you mentioned, only providing non-answers. In fact, I don't think I have yet to get a useful response to any inquiry from customer support. They are all very nice over chat.

Teenager mode. Similar to Valet mode, but without the security lockouts. I'm still 6 years out from needing to worry about this, but I think having capped speed (maybe custom settable so you can pick something appropriate for your area) + reduced acceleration would be great. Could even go so...

Did you try a screen reset? The manual explains both types of manual reset (you can also just lock the truck for 15-30 minutes for a "deep sleep"). The screen reset is probably best in these cases, where you press both of the outer buttons on the steering wheel at once for 15 seconds until the...

I changed the address online in both places (yes, there's two completely different places for addresses), and yet if I remove and re-add the accessories to the truck, they retain the incorrect address in the data coming from their backend. You can't see this in the UI anywhere, mind you...

Yeah, their account system is seriously broken. I discovered that while the truck is assigned my current address, all the accessories are assigned an old address. You can add and remove them, it still shows the old address. (You have to check the JSON blob returned from the server to see this...

Not-so-early Tesla Model S's had lots of drive unit failures, too. I know there aren't that many trucks built yet, but I find it interesting that most serious failures so far seem to be only one vehicle reporting it. If it is a single failure of each type, then it sorta falls under the sh!t...

You can clearly see the brown wood, OC has a pale bleached/whitewashed wood. Plus the ceiling is definitely green, not white. Edit That being said, it looks like it still has the black speaker grills, which might be enough to make me stick with the black interior for both vehicles I have on order.

I think this is a great idea, I've mentioned it before. It's a really intelligent way to enter waypoints quickly when you don't want to deal with Lat/Long, and at 1 meter resolution, it's more than accurate enough for anything the truck would do. It's also a really powerful tool if you get hurt...

Followup: I just chatted with customer support. It's a known issue. For some reason, their system tracks old addresses (nobody apparently knows why yet), and all vehicle accessories get assigned that address. Even if customer support changes it, it reverts back. Rant follows: I sure hope...

…you sit patiently in conversations with friends & family trying to figure out how to work in a new Rivian fact you just learned today. …your wife and daughter threaten to start charging a quarter every time you bring up a new Rivian fact. …you close the Rivian account tab, wait 10 seconds, then...

Huh, I was under the impression they were a 40/20/40 split. That's what they show in the animations. I was looking forward to that, because the normal 60/40 split means you lose a (normal-sized) seat, even for narrow items.

Yeah, something's really screwed up with their system. I was digging around the JSON data returned from the web requests, and all the add-ons had the wrong address in them (also an old one). Even though I've updated the vehicle options several times since the original order was placed. I'm not...

The tow guide explicitly refers to them as two 12V batteries, I think they are just small batteries. My Tesla has a single, similarly small 12V battery. It's proven to be underpowered for the vehicle, so they swapped it with a fancier battery that fit in the same spot (some nano-tech carbon...

We could mount a deep fryer in there so we could make some delicious frunnel cakes.

Of course, now he's a Rivian hack, too! :p (I don't personally like his style, and I don't think he's that amazing just from his videos, but I assume he and his team are extremely competent. My original sense from him was that he was mostly impressed seeing a company try different things than...

I think it's fair to not want 100s of people in your car, you might want to play it by ear. Leave it shut most of the time, but if you get to talking to someone and feel comfortable with letting them in, then you can do that at that time. That's how I would probably do it. If I had a truck. And...

Both of you guys are lucky! With my 2015 Model S: The 12V battery died, vehicle wouldn't start (replaced under warranty). A front control arm snapped while slowly backing out of the garage ("known" issue with Model S's), had to be flatbedded at my expense 1.5 hours away. A "loose" wire...

No need to chicken little yet. My 2015 Tesla needs regular reboots to this day. This was built 3 years after they started making them. I guarantee that many current Tesla owners require reboots. I don't think that 1 out of 5 are lemons by any definition. There's nothing permanent or truly...
