I love the optimism, but no chance they make that many R1Ts with the time left in the year. The math just doesn’t work.
We know that at full speed they can make a vehicle every 4 or 5 minutes. So let’s just say 15 per hour x 16 hours per day x 6 days per week x 10 or so work weeks left in the...
If you've ever seen a Grand Cherokee in Granite Crystal Grey (you have), it's almost identical to El Cap Granite. To my eye at least. Hope that helps for those on the fence.
Cutting the pillar is not about extrication, it's about cutting the high-voltage line if they can't get under the hood for some reason. I could be well and fine sitting on the curb watching my vehicle get slowly totaled. :crying:
But I get your point.
It’s a compilation of the issues noticed across all of the reviews I read. I think the window issue was from the Bloomberg article, if I recall correctly.
That was a fun one to watch. Looks like they messed up the rock shield pretty good on the way down the pass. They seemed to take a very odd angle on one of those switchbacks, and hung it up on a boulder.
Cool to watch them really put it to the test.
Many, many people just learned of this choice yesterday when all of the reviews came out. It's not exactly something Rivian has been advertising, and if you're not on these forums, how would you have known that something that is so common in other vehicles would be missing?
Folks are reacting...
The same reviewer did an AMA on Reddit and said that based on his conversations with Brian Gase and others, he wouldn't be surprised if the R1S doesn't show up until 2023.
So either he has some serious insider info on 2 things...or possibly his facts mixed up on 2 things. Who knows.
This comment makes me think you haven't used AA/Carplay to it's full capability much, which is totally fine.
But 'tunes' are literally the least important function of the technology for me and most people.
We must have read/watched different reviews. Nearly every review I saw mentioned it as an oversight.
Just from the first few aritcles in the list on the other thread:
But we're talking about the Rivian here, not some old random car. I don't understand your point. AA/Carplay would certainly be wireless if they implemented it in the Rivians, and therefore your concerning about plugging in your phone everytime you get in the car should not be a concern.
Just FYI, Android Auto is now wireless.
I’d be fine if there was a decent library of native apps available (Waze, etc), but thats not the case…at least for now.
