  1. Rivian offering free XPEL Stealth PPF wrap during factory shutdown!! $5K value

    Reach out to XPEL to see if they have a recycle program. It'll probably compress into something the size of a basketball, when peeled off. Recycling these wraps ought to be a no-brainer for a company that is selling thousands, and shops that are doing hundreds. Meanwhile, I would guess that...

    State 48 Rivians

    @Gcan Yeah, they'll probably continue to offer upgrades or other perks to boost sales at end-of-quarter, or other times. I think that Rivian is (or was) offering PPF now, as an incentive. But a free home charger isn't one of the standard amenities (which is why the OP didn't get one last August).
  3. Been using my R1T since Oct ‘22 as primary work truck in Landscaping business

    Ummm. Wait. 25 sheets x 5/8" would be (pulls up calculator app) nearly 16 feet thick. Your R1T bed must be bigger on the inside. Mine certainly couldn't do that. Edit: What was I thinking. (hint: whatever it was, it was wrong)
  4. Rivian saves Rivian...quick weekend trip

    I would agree. There is only one DCFC that I regularly go to, which has pull-through chargers. I think the first time I went there (not long after I got my R1T) I used a pull-through lane (it's just easier). Afterward, I realized that should be the last resort, in order to keep it available for...
  5. Rivian continues to miss out on revenue

    But what if they "take your advice," but charge $25 a month? Will you pay it and be happy? Or what about the other owners that have a lower threshold? You theorize 100% buy-in. This a perilous journey that you are suggesting, and Rivian needs to get it right.
  6. Rivian R2 Full Tour by Out of Spec Kyle

    I expect that it will be in the rear, to minimize wiring for RWD versions. They chose the right side (at least initially) to facilitate charging from curbside chargers.
  7. Why has my R1S become a sales huckster?

    If I ask Alexa to play something on Amazon Music (I have Prime, but I don't have the Premium music subscription), it sometimes asks me if I want to subscribe. I tell it that I don't, and then it is done asking me, for awhile.
  8. Rivian testing new Driver+ (Autonomy Experience Module) -- stops by the FCC

    I guess we'll never know about that accident. But if traffic accident or injury rates start coming down within the next five years, it'll probably be due to smarter (more capable) cars, rather than smarter humans. P.S. "Large vehicle was following too close..." Large vehicle probably would not...
  9. My R1S rear ended a delivery truck - results

    Amazon and Rivian working together to take that other delivery truck off the road. ;) /jk
  10. Rivian testing new Driver+ (Autonomy Experience Module) -- stops by the FCC

    You may have a lifetime of experience, but it is still very, very limited. If every one of those cars had had the capabilities that will be available within just a few years, maybe none of them would have been involved in that accident. If one or two of those cars had had said capabilities...
  11. Rivian testing new Driver+ (Autonomy Experience Module) -- stops by the FCC

    But there's a lot more of them. If the average driver intelligence (either human or machine) in the cars on the road improves, so will your safety (however vaunted your skills may be). Remember, "Drives better than my wife at night" is the current floor, not the future upper limit.
  12. I'll say it... Driver+ getting worse, not better

    I think Highway Assist has gotten better, and will stay engaged for longer stretches. Perhaps there is an issue with the capacitive sensor on your steering wheel.
  13. Rivian testing new Driver+ (Autonomy Experience Module) -- stops by the FCC

    You already do - all those other cars on the road, driven by drivers in who-knows-what-condition/ability.
  14. Rivian testing new Driver+ (Autonomy Experience Module) -- stops by the FCC

    Since Rivian uses a capacitive system to detect hands-on, as I understand it, it wouldn't have the same issue.
  15. Rivian testing new Driver+ (Autonomy Experience Module) -- stops by the FCC

    If and when Tesla software/hardware advances to the point that they can actually successfully release the robotaxis, it should then possible to do what you want in a consumer vehicle.
  16. My Rivian Driver+ almost killed me

    But trying to press that little spot on the screen, while driving at freeway speeds, can be difficult, especially if one's adrenaline is pumping after a scary incident. If you've pulled off the road and stopped - then yeah, that's a good option.
  17. My Rivian Driver+ almost killed me

    If you pressed down twice on the right-hand stalk, then you engaged "Highway Assist." Pressing up on the right-hand stalk, pressing on the brake pedal, or physically turning the steering wheel should each disengage Highway Assist. "Driver+" is an entire suite of assist and warning functions (of...
