Is it just me, or has there been an uptick in "brand new accounts whose only post is blasting Rivian service, with no photos or evidence" posts recently?
Is someone shorting their stock and trying to make a public perception of service being terrible? (Okay, I know Rivian service isn't great...
If Rivian's own insurance declared it a loss, then it would now have a branded title, and clearly should not be accepted back repaired.
But "cash equal to the amount needed to buy a same year/model/pre-accident-condition" is a perfectly reasonable offer. We don't know if that's what's being...
My point is that if you wait until after the warranty on something expires to check it, the seller is under no obligation to repair/replace it, because the warranty has expired.
I've bought computers for businesses. An order of 100 laptops. We didn't need them all immediately, they were...
"produce 1 TW/year of compute"?
As in, produce enough silicon that if deployed in servers, would consume 1 Terawatt of energy?
So at the end of year 1, the Gated Rat datacenter would consume 1 Terawatt of energy, at the end of year two, it would consume 2 Terawatts, etc?
That's…...
They are in Canada, not the US.
Red rear turn signals piss me off - especially on vehicles where they do make them amber for other markets. The German automakers, who are required by German law to use amber, but put red on US-market vehicles *built on the same line in Germany* are especially...
The Spare Tire kit has a warranty of 2 years. You're outside that warranty period.
For items that aren't used very often, it is always good practice to test them as soon as you get them to make sure they work while still under warranty - don't wait until you need it to test it.
Things fail...
True, but they are ramping up volume production of a new vehicle with completely separate parts than the R1, so it makes sense to simplify as much as possible the early builds. Paint can have many options because the paint booth is basically the same across different vehicles. Upholstery is...
R1 launched with no light interior color. It didn't get Ocean Coast until nearly a full year after the first deliveries. Even the "mid-tone" Forest Edge wasn't available for a while. If you wanted an early R1, you got the black interior.
If the subscription increases in price, the "prepaid" pays off faster, though. If in six months they double the price, then if you had already paid the $2500, suddenly it will pay off in only two years. (Assuming you actually use the capabilities enough to justify the cost. My wife doesn't even...
One advantage of Oregon - we can't pump our own gas, it has to be an attendant. (With some exceptions.)
The downside - if a location has too few attendants, you're stuck waiting for one to be available. Back when I had an ICE vehicle, one of the local Kroger affiliates' gas stations commonly...
Decision point number 1: I didn't want another ICE truck. Period. Whatever I was getting was going to be full EV.
Decision point number 2: It arrived first.
I had put in deposits/reservations/whatever for the Rivian, Cybertruck and F-150 Lightning before any of them were shipping. I figured...
Are you an installer of ChargePoint EVSEs/stations?
o.chargepoint.com is the web portal for *PROFESSIONAL ELECTRICIANS/INSTALLERS*. If you just use ChargePoint public charging stations or have a personally-owned home ChargePoint EVSE, this doesn't affect you at all.
They're just replacing the...
Eh, outside the US, lower-range EVs are fine. Although it looks like they're trying to sell this in Australia, where lack of range will also be a bit of a hindrance.
Although 150kW peak charging on a ~60kWh pack is pretty good. Although half an hour 10 to 80% would imply only ~80kW average...
A gasoline vehicle where the gasoline engine has failed also has no heat.
Yes, getting stuck in that situation in any vehicle is terrible. And I'm not sure what the failure here is, hopefully Rivian can figure it out quickly.
But you just joined the forum, and your only interaction is a not...
All EPA ratings are manufacturer-provided. There's no reason to think Rivian would publish a number that doesn't agree with what the final number would be this close to launch.
