My Rivian charger does this every few weeks. I have to power cycle the charger as well as unplug and plug back in the truck to get it to work. It acts like the microcontroller inside the charger has locked up. I'm thinking about trying to get it replaced under warranty.

Same here. I never changed my config from quad max pack, so I don't know what they are talking about. My guess is that they are estimating dual motor max pack, but haven't updated the config data yet.

He's a guy that you should pay attention to for investment advice if you want to be successful. As long as you always do the opposite of what he says.

I saw that yesterday in my feed. Even by lying press standards, this is horribly written. Like a Jr. high schooler wrote it.

I would assume the weight would be similar to the max pack additional weight, for the same energy storage. I wonder how easy it would be to get ahold of the 400V busbars without either voiding the warranty or worse, electrocuting yourself. I doubt you could tie into the front charger, because...

None of this would be an issue if they had just put in an additional charge port behind a small door somewhere in the bed of the truck. That way, people that need occasional extended towing range could put in a third-party battery pack extender in the bed of the truck to push power into the...

I'm surprised that an issue this basic didn't show up during their years of stress tests before production. I wish someone made an EV with the motor built into the hub, like Lordstown does. But that normal people can buy. No CV joints, diff, or gears to deal with.

How many speakers before the law of diminishing returns kicks in? Seems like 16 would be more than enough.

2020. Still waiting for Max Pack and Ocean Coast.

Still waiting for Max Pack with my OC which won't be here until 2H23, so may as well wait for the leather dash.

If it makes you feel any better, Tesla's implementation of TuneIn and Spotify have about the same frustration level. It is basically unusable. This is what happens when a car company tries to be all things to everyone and not allow third-party apps or CarPlay on their systems. No car company...

Trying to wrap my head around how someone could go about talking about bills and congress without it being about politics, as per the admin. Policy, politics. Same root word.

Indeed. Maybe some hackers will figure out a way to modify the infotainment code to allow remote desktop redirection to the center console and allow any arbitrary external computer to send its video output to a window on the center screen.

Tragedy of the Commons in action. Markets are always the most efficient allocators of resources, although not necessarily always the most humane.

What he is saying is that CarPlay can provide an end-around the locked-in ecosystem he is trying to create. He even said on an investor's conference that he intends to make most of his profit on add-on services. That all goes out the window if people can use free apps instead. After owning a...

LFP has about an order of magnitude better power density (peak performance) than normal LiIon. You can get LiFePo4 battery cells the size of a standard 32700 on Aliexpress than put out 35 amps. They have about half the energy density of normal LiIon though. So not as much range for long...

Android Auto is just a touchscreen mirroring service for the most part. The apps still run on the attached phone. It would have less security vulnerabilities than a built-in web browser.

This is why any car manufacturer that doesn't include Android Auto/CarPlay shouldn't even be considered for purchase. A car company will never have the developer resources of the entire Android ecosystem. And their nav software will never compete with a trillion dollar software companies'...

It's decisions like this that give a clue as to how they are going to treat their customers in the future. I'm sure they think they are gonna have the best navigation and music player software in the market. But they don't have the resources to replicate all the apps in the Android ecosystem...

Apparently they are different enough that Rivian can't provide them at all this year. How many of the prototype vehicles had the Max Pack option? For how obsessed they are with testing, you would think a significant fraction of test vehicles would have that option to work out the kinks.
