Put me down for an R1T. Preferably Launch Green with Black Mountain interior and the 20ā standard AT wheels/tires.
Alternatively, Iād take a Rivian Blue with the same specs.
Honestly, I rarely ever carry my dogs in either of my vehicles. One, a large Chocolate Lab, just whines and whines and whines. It never stops. The other, a Westie, gets car sick 100% of the time. She's not nearly as big of an issue since my wife can just put her on the floor and let her puke on...
24/7 Wall St isnāt what I would call a quality journalistic outlet. As was pointed out, theyāve done a lot of hit pieced on Rivian. Most of those articles were written by an AI, as are most of 24/7ās content.
Iād like to believe this but the source is a real PoS IMO.
I think most of you know Iāve been an advocate for getting CarPlay support from Rivian, but I think Iām starting to turn the corner on the matter. Similar to the OP, I have these main reasons for wanting CP.
1. Waze
2. Apple Music
3. Messaging
4. Waze.
5. Did I mention Waze.
I NEVER use any of...
Some minor things.
- Brighten the instrument pod for the blind spot cameras. The exposure is way too dark.
- a way to lower the back end of the truck so I can roll items off a bit more easily. I kinda do something similar to this by backing my truck onto a slope and use camp mode to level it...
I used it last summer when our truck was rear ended on I25 in Denver. The truck was totaled but kept us safe. The person on the other end helped us get a tow truck.
^^^ THIS ^^^
Just be sure to clean the area with isopropyl alcohol or itāll come loose easily. The 3M tape isnāt a perfect fix but itāll get you by until they can come by for repairs.
Overall I really like the updates. But not everything is perfect. IMO the blind spot cameras displays were too dark to be really useful. They were totally useless when I had sunglasses on. Iām wondering if there is a good way to brighten the display to make them show up a bit better. Iāll give...
I got to check the R2/R3 prototypes out on Friday with the Rivian Club. As good as you think the R3X looks, it looks 100x better in person. Itās absolutely gorgeous. My wife and I also got a very short ride in the Gen 2 R1S Quad. It was really only long enough to check out the interior. That was...
They do, but I highly suspect Carplay isn't long for the VW, Audi, Porsche, and Lamborghini's of this world. IMO, one reason they've supported Carplay is to overcome their infotainment center's weaknesses.
I'd consider it but I'm very happy with my Launch Edition quad. The new Quad is exciting but also pricey.
I think they only reason I'd trade my R1T right now is to get an R1S on lease. Beyond that my plan is to keep it until the R3X comes. I'm still of the mind that I want to keep one ICE...
Iām thinking Rivian saw the camp kitchens from @RANGE INDUSTRIES and @Thunderbolt Adventure and decided they needed to do something different. Those two 3rd party kitchens improved on Rivianās original design and did it for a significantly lower price. Also, thereās the fact that the original...
Seeing all the improvements coming in the next update, Iāve changed my vote to impartial. The only thing Iām really missing is Waze. The OEM Nav has improved to the point that I use it regularly and just have Waze for police and traffic reports. I guess getting Apple Music was one of my sore...
