Reading through all of this.....this is just like any other option. "Would you pay $2500 for 'technology package'"? "Would you pay $1500 for fancier wheels?" "Would you pay $250 for heated seats?" "Would you pay $1500 for leather?" Be happy you're not shopping (or have already) for Porsches...

Yes, you're absolutely right, but I'm just telling you what I see in the automotive world (Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, and Mazda). They prioritized it based on the telemetry, which has improved 100-fold over the last decade. If something is too complex and you ultimately ignore it, well I guess it...

I get it. But it is two motions now. Swipe right on the screen, hit button. I do similar motions when I need to open the frunk or trunk. Would a dedicated button somewhere make it faster? Sure, by 1.5 seconds? Anyway, I get it. Lots of things would be easier if it wasn't buried in the...

Tied to region data. But even easier, a car manufacturers have owner information. I don't recall what types of data can be used, but typically as long as it can't be tied directly to the person, it is fair game.

Yeah, I mentioned it toward the bottom of my post. There are like thousands of new apartments there, so I guess it could serve them.

You fold the mirrors manually that much where you need a button? The fact that the mirrors fold when you park and walk away isn't enough? I can confidently say that this type of use case is in the minority. Coming from automotive IT, there is telemetry indicating what features are used, how...

^^ nice! I'd be too worried haha. I get bothered by every little scratch/mark. :P

I mean it is a pickup truck. Most people don't have a need for it. For those who do need one, at least half need it for pretty tough/rough things (towing, tossing heavy/bulky things in the bed, etc). Lots of things an R1T owner may hesitate doing, I know I wouldn't want a ton of rocks dumped...

I live in Irvine, and that entire area including nearby towns are heavy residential. I can't see a need for Rivian chargers (especially since they only support Rivian?) when your home is likely very close. I see a need for charger in more remote areas. Of course I say this seeing Tesla...

Yes, there is. The two mirror buttons here (and the new kneel button should show up on the bottom).

Dang, I was hoping to replace my Rivian with a Scout, but yeah… not surprised by the delay. For one, there’s basically zero real info on how this “harvester” is supposed to work (or a bunch of other stuff), so a delay makes sense. I’ve also heard from a somewhat insider that leadership kind of...

"All-Terrain: Active on 15% grades and 25% side tilts" Does this mean we can use this updated kneel mode in all-terrain mode when you're on a 15% grade and up to a 25% tilt? I've never used it before because I haven't really needed it. My older relatives I will sometimes put it into sport...

Everything will be speculation at this point. There were early articles mentioning "over 300 miles" ... "with the large battery" but a lot of things can change.

I can certainly agree with this. I do hope Rivian succeeds and can get some of that market share. I was mainly speaking stock vs. stock. The R2 has significantly less ground clearance and comes with mediocre tires. You can toss more aggressive tires on it, but your articulation/ground...

Long post, but I'll give my 2 cents. The R1S and the R2 are completely different vehicles. Besides the size, the R1S is just "more" of everything the R2 isn't. More rugged, more adventure-y, faster, can tow more, etc. Ride height differences are staggering (9.8" on the R2 vs. up to 15" on...

From my understanding, the Rivian (or any vehicle) is aligned to a specific ride height/suspension setting/weight distribution. Having a 180lb person sitting in the driver's seat vs. nobody in the driver's seat is going to change how the vehicle sits, and thus how the tire is contacting the...

FYI these types of magnets are very popular/useful (3d printing, woodworking projects, etc). You can get 50-150 of them from Amazon in various sizes for like $7 shipped next day with Prime. Good to have on hand. But also probably not worth it for someone to ship you a few when you can get a...

If you have access to a 3d printer, there are a ton of cup holder "inserts" that have a cutout for a handle. Here's a random one I clicked on in Google images: These 3MF or STL files exist everywhere and probably take an hour to print if you can find a buddy to do it for you. Probably $1 or...

If the Scout meets all of my requirements (Harvester/range/other details aren't completely clear yet), then I'll sell the Rivian when my Scout becomes available. If it doesn't, I'll probably go back to a non-EV and get something like a Lexus GX550 or LX700 Overtrail.

When you say you "pressed the button", what do you mean? I've used this feature very rarely (maybe 5 times in the 3 years I've owned the vehicle) and I haven't had any issues. When I used it, I only used Google Maps to send it. Type in the address Click on the "send" button (square with arrow...
