  1. Reminder: Rivian Promised Level 3 "Eyes Off the Road" Autonomy on Gen 1

    They removed that claim before any vehicles shipped to customers. Tesla sold "the vehicle you're buying today has everything necessary to full self drive" (for multiple years before admitted they needed a hardware upgrade, which will almost certainly be necessary again, as my 2016 Model S is...
  2. Software updates that should be here by now.

    I'm not that picky. Promises from two years before anyone had to fully commit to purchase, and thus we knew weren't going to happen, don't matter. The "vertically-dropping tailgate" for example. Now, things that were still "coming with a software update" when we took possession of the...
  3. [POLL] How likely are you to pay for Autonomy+ Package?

    With a Gen 1, no chance at all. When R3 comes out, it will depend on what it's capable of at time of purchase. If they truly do have Level 4 "eyes off"? I'd probably pay the $2500.
  4. Can we upgrade R1 Gen2 to Gen3? Will R1s come with Gen3 next year?

    Never trust a salesperson to know roadmap that isn't already public.
  5. Introduction to J+ BOOSTER 2 EV Charger + Exclusive Discount

    Thanks, didn't know EcoFlow had that grounding adapter, I'll try that!
  6. UHF (Universal Hands-Free) Rivian Autonomy driving videos - real world test

    Which is ridiculous. A 2004 Toyota Prius can parallel park itself. My 2015 BMW i3 could find a parking spot and park itself. Both of these did it solely with ultrasonic sensors and a single rear-view camera. Why didn't Rivian have automated parking in 2022?
  7. Glad to have a Gen 1

    180+kWh battery with 800V. Preferably 400kW+ charge rate. (They're here already.) Heck, just double the Zeekr "Golden Brick" battery and throw it in a Rivian: https://evkx.net/models/zeekr/7x/7x_standard_range_rwd/chargingcurve/ Could sustain 400kW for a ridiculous amount of time. (That...
  8. Introduction to J+ BOOSTER 2 EV Charger + Exclusive Discount

    I know J+ hasn't logged in in over a year, but maybe a reply notification will get y'all back - any answer on this? Specifically curious about 5-15 and TT-30 plugs. (5-15 to charge another EV from the bed outlet in my Rivian, and TT-30 to be able to charge from an EcoFlow Pro. Both err out...
  9. Rivian Autonomy & AI Day! Lidar, Hands-Free Driving, Rivian Assistant & more announced

    I mean… My wife doesn't even use basic cruise control, much less Driver+. So these new features mean nothing to her.
  10. Autonomy Day, Lane Change, and the Myth of “Buy What It Has Today”

    Absolutely buy for what it can do now, not what is promised. Automatic speed limit adjustment. It was added with an OTA update, then removed a couple updates later. A very-limited form of it was re-added later. One promised feature that the hardware was present for was removed - the...
  11. Cyber Monday Surprise: Test the CES-Nominated F17 Elite Dashcam for Free!

    "has been nominated"? You mean you paid the $595 or $625 to nominate yourself?
  12. Rivian is building its own AI assistant?

    As long as it allows you to reliably voice-control vehicle functions without needing a Connect+ subscription, I'll be happy.
  13. "Borealis" purple limited-edition paint color revealed!

    I'm in camp "anything but black/white/gray". The base R1 has five paint options, and only one has actual color to it. More choice is better. (Heck, if this color had existed in 2022 when we got our Rivian, it's probably what we'd have.)
  14. We made Car and Driver's Best EVs Built in America List

    Except… They're clearly not the best option for 800V vehicles.
  15. Pebble Flow Electric RV Trailer - My First Journey Towing With R1T

    We have an "all electric" now - just without the fanciness (or price tag) of the Pebble. A 2018 NĂĽCamp T@B 400. From the factory, the only uses of propane are the propane cooktop and the dual-fuel combo cabin/hot-water heater. Which has a 120V AC mode. So when plugged in to my Rivian, the only...
  16. Pebble Flow Electric RV Trailer - My First Journey Towing With R1T

    My biggest concern with these (other than price) is that most of the places I camp I stop at a Rivian-only RAN on the way. Unless Pebble has an agreement with Rivian to allow charging there, this would mean a separate charge stop. Although the added efficiency of this would mean that a few of...
