I haven't gone through the entire thread, but it could be implemented as an application. This would save the added cost of the hardware.

No. At the end of the day, ambient temperature and driving style are likely to have a greater impact on range.

If they didn't perform a serious packaging study, you can kiss thoughts of an AR HUD goodbye. I've been involved in projects where we retrofit an AR HUD to a vehicle with an existing HUD, and the discussion quickly turns to cutting cross-car beams :eek: Keep in mind that there's only 2...

Sorry if this has been said, but IT'S THE TIRES that are responsible for the range reduction with the 20's.

Tesla may giveth range, but they also take it away...

It's the AT tires - this has nothing to do with the size. If anything, the 20's should be slightly more efficient if you match the tire compound and tread pattern as the 21's since they're likely to weigh less.

This probably means it's been released to the respective app stores for approval. That being said, I'll be happy with a chunky, tough, IP67 waterproof keyfob.

I wasn't referring to buyer demographics in any way - just the market segment itself. Styling jokes aside - the R1T is essentially an extremely capable, BEV Honda Ridgeline. Despite Honda's reputation for quality, it's never really caught on. Partially because it's not considered a "real...

RJ isn't a cult leader like Musk either. If it's not obvious these two operate very differently, then you haven't been paying attention. While the pickup truck market is the largest vehicle segment in the US, it's also the toughest one to crack - just ask Toyota & Nissan about their full size...

Even ignoring the complete pack redesign that would be required for pouch/prismatic cells, this would not be a quick round of testing for the simple fact you aren't going to cut corners on something so critical AND highly flammable. Even if LG were to supply 2170 cells, which operate at the...

I'll just repeat this: Don't think that you can simply swap cell manufacturers on a whim, without going through extensive validation testing. Just because they "fit" mechanically, doesn't mean a darn thing if the alternate cell source sucks. Rivian has enough on their plate launching a new...

I'd rather Rivian prioritize the First Mile Event Tour and get vehicles in the hands of those that have pre-ordered. I personally don't give a shit what any youtoober has to say about the R1T and R1S. I've driven long enough, driven on the track, and participated in vehicle several...

Just received mine as well - hopefully MI reservation holders are invited to Normal.

Samsung SDI is the cell manufacturer of record during the R1T/R1S launch phase according to the following article. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1133253_rivian-battery-supplier-samsung-sdi-is-considering-illinois-for-us-plant Don't think that you can simply swap cell manufacturers on a...

Another thing to consider in terms of product quality is intentionally limiting the number of possible build permutations - especially within the initial launch phase of a new vehicle. This is part of the reason so many new vehicles are debuting with "launch editions". It drives artificial...

Bottom line is that Rivian can't f*ck up the launch. The decision to delay the launch, in my opinion, was driven by quality metrics and possible supply chain issues. As new company, you only have one chance to deliver the goods to your early adopters. I don't think Rivian could sustain the...

I would tend to believe that most of these "tweaks" are going to be SW. They aren't going to be changing any major tooling at this point, and there will be process adjustments to increase factory throughput. Outside of the additional battery pack sizes, I don't see significant changes being...

I'm calm - I just don't understand the hostility regarding MY decisions.
