Rivian touts 835 HP and 0-60s so it needs to at least be competitive with its top speed. It’s doesn’t need to be higher than every thing just at least needs to competitive enough. 110 is not even average.
Yeah that’s would be good to temp switch off regen for different scenarios. I find that just trying to reposition my foot on the go pedal for comfort causes the truck to brake as well. Hoping they develop a regen off/coast mode soon.
It’s hard for to fine tune that skill since I drive an ICE truck everyday for work and drive the Rivian home. So my EV adaptation is taking longer to get honed in. So I need more practice.
Funny thing this video came out today and they mentioned the limiter as a limitation a few times. It’s still quick!…but needs a lil more MPH to secure its victories. Given enough distance many regular cars would pass the Rivian. I would hate to have to constantly say in my Rivian “I lost the...
I also wish adaptive cruise would work while towing. Even when I have just my bike rack attached to the 7 pin it thinks I’m towing and disables it. Such a bummer on long drives.
Is it just me or is Rivian top speed too low? 112-115. I realize that in the Hagerty drag race, the Rivian tops out way too soon before the quarter and stops accelerating too early, thus loosing out. It’s not a dragster I know but It would do better if it went to like 130? Software update in...
Nice, simple, and subtle addition to be able to use a phone in the truck. Makes me disappointed again knowing that the vehicle has two huge screen with lots of real estate and no way to mirror or use you phone on there. Beating a dead horse I know.
So from what I understand, without watching the video, is that the problem is mainly about power and torque to each wheel when there is at least one wheel with traction. When a diff is locked power gets “doubled” to the wheel with traction or not lost to the loose wheel. With the quad motor you...
That’s the thing I’m learning with electric car adoption, it’s more than just changing from gas use to electric and charging. You have to also accept, funky door handles, useless glass roofs that are not good as a roof nor a sunroof, complicated remote door access, no buttons, multiple taps to...
I totally understand. Everyone has all these methods but they don’t satisfy the issue. I’m right now sitting in my truck wishing the same thing over again since I’ve had it since last March. I just want to power everything down just while I wait. Screens, climate, music, sounds, especially when...
That’s the best look/stance of an R1S I’ve seen so far. Th combo of the wheels, tint, roof rails and mud flaps. These flaps are a great addition. Will def add to the R1S. Thanks for the picks!
These are pretty awesome. I love the versatility and flexibility. Removable ones for back of the headrests could an option too. The cabin needs more options and we appreciate the options coming our way from you guys. ?
I did get hit in the tailgate by a Tesla model Y in my church parking lot. A lady backed into me. So in a Christian like manner I had a big brawl with the lady on the pavement. Jk!! ? Just my light bar was broken and needed to be replaced. I went to AGC collision in North Hollywood, CA. and I...
My simple solution for the annoying phone key is to allow the truck to unlock once it senses the key fob. It recognizes me early, so just unlock it right then or at least enhance the Bluetooth awareness. I hate just standing there waiting for my phone and truck to communicate while I wait in the...
Anyone has gotten a loud rubbing sound under the passenger front wheel well when making a sharp turn in the lowest setting in conserve? That’s my only concern with the kneel mode. But other than that it drops fast, front first, and to the lowest setting based on my measurements.
It actually goes to the lowest setting. I measured it last night. It may be off by less than 1/2 inch. I was hoping it would be lower than lowest but lowest will do.
