Only 44 incidents? If we're including minor infractions, I probably have that many alone in my vehicle. No collisions or injuries, because I actually do supervise my FSD, and take over before it does anything truly terrible.

The few times I have done road trips where we stay at a hotel (most of our road trips are camping) I try to choose a hotel that both has charging, and is somewhat near a rapid charger. Arrive at the hotel, see if the L2s are available, if not, no big deal, I'll hit the rapid charger in the...

I will say, I don't trust Google any more than I trust Amazon, but at least on the Google side, I have my own "Google Workspace" that I control 100% of the data on, so as long as I can log in with that account, and don't have to use a Gmail, I'll be fine with using it. Now the two big...

There is. It's just hidden. If you ask Alexa to play things in Amazon Music, it will play them, and even show the Amazon Music logo as the source. At least, it did before I turned off all Amazon things in the vehicle.

I can confirm that "Lincoln City Outlets" in Lincoln City, OR does indeed tow out of EV charging spaces. There's also trespass orders. "You can't park anywhere in our lot again, or you will be immediately towed." Obviously someone who doesn't park in that lot often won't really care. But...

There may not be any laws requiring it, but are there laws disallowing the "no parking except when charging"? Because the vast majority of charging is on private land, and the private landowner can insist on whatever rules they want (that aren't a violation of the law, like not having any...

Too many manufacturers are on the "you can have your car in any color you want, as long as it's grayscale" bandwagon. Even Rivian has been dumping their bright colors. Ford F-150 Lightning has one red, one very dark blue, and a bunch of grayscale. BMW iX is even worse. With two different...

They did when RAN first launched, but it was a specific length of time for all vehicles, not a per-vehicle thing. And IIRC, new RIvians get a certain amount of free charging at RAN. (Or is that only when use your referral code?) One thing about Tesla free Supercharging (since I just got done...

Yep, I've been stuck (while towing) having to stop at a 62.5kW station, when I needed to charge to 90%+ to make it to the next charging station. (Okay, there was another 62.5kW station about 10 miles further down the road, but that wasn't exactly an improvement on the situation.) Over two hours...

I just realized the frunk is the first-gen frunk. No netted cubbies at the back.

Still curious what they do at RAN locations once R2 starts shipping. Lots of RAN locations are built so that a vehicle with the port there wouldn't be able to charge. And definitely not useful in many of the "towing stall"s that are designed expecting the vehicle to have the charge port at the...

In addition to the marketplace here, there is Cars & Bids. Good quality R1S have been selling for upper $50-60k.

Huh. The frunk subfloor opens! I needed to use a toothpick to start prying, but it did open, and looks correct underneath. Sadly, while the gear tunnel does have the floor, it doesn't even have a molded-in fake passthrough to the back seat. Even more sadly, the spare tire well in the bed...

Yep. Gravity's a minivan the same way Model X is a minivan. They're just minivans without sliding doors. Not saying that's a terrible thing. They're both good minivans. But they're also both not SUVs.

Needs to end up at $40k…. and be profitable to Rivian at that price. If it's too expensive, people won't buy it. If it's not profitable on a per-unit basis for Rivian to sell (the way R1s were until Gen 2 was in full steam) then it will actually make things worse for Rivian rather than better.

Definitely no rental from Rivian, that is the at-fault-party's insurance's responsibility. Also make sure that their insurance pays you for "lost value due to accident". I don't suppose you have dash cam footage of the truck that spewed smoke? One could easily argue that they are responsible...

Heck, the cookware/utensil set was about half the cost of the thing from Rivian. 😁

Craigslist ad has been removed, I hope someone here got it and will give us more detailed photos!

I can't even see it! Keep it as a "battle scar." :-P That said, there are multiple threads about PDR recommendations in the Northwest subforum: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/forums/northwest.20/

Yes. Absolutely. My Rivian is the best vehicle I've ever owned. For me, it replaced both an old diesel pickup and a Model S. (Although we ended up getting another Model S later, because my wife preferred the Model S to our Ford Mach-E. See unrelated bit at the end.) If by "what changes would...
