I have not driven my Rivian in 6 months. I know I stopped using whatever Rivian calls its ADAS last year because it could not even keep the car centered in the lane. It was a beacon for cops to initiate a traffic stop.
Are you saying that the gap between your Rivian and car in front of you...
That self-driving may never come to R1S Gen 1 is totally fine with me. I can live without it. Not about to shell out another, what $100k just to have that feature on a Gen 2.
Keep in mind that Tesla has been at FSD for about a decade now, and it still is nowhere near full self-driving. It is...
I don't think OP posted to elicit any responses. Neither am I.
OP is simply making a point of fact. Tesla FSD is far, far superior to anything out there in America. It is settled law, not for debate.
Whereas Tesla haters think FSD is a total, worthless POS; Tesla fanbois swear it is even...
I did not watch your video yet. Thank you for posting it. I think this looks like a better solution because it seems to eliminate the plugging and unplugging with two outlets on it. Any utility rebates on it?
Funny, my Tesla-certified installer first started off wanting to install my Tesla...
Even though Tesla-certified install of my 14-50 outlet in my previous home in addition to my Tesla wall charger, I got alerts two or three times indicating charging derated because outlet/charger cable connector getting very warm. Decided no, thanks.
I also see that this device is at 50 A...
2025.14.01 installed yesterday around 7 PM @ 108 35% SOC. This morning, SOC is 107 35% or -1 0% loss. Typical daily loss can be as low as 0 to 4 miles. VD seems normal, unchanged with new update.
R1S quad with OBD tender hibernating since last November.
From my vantage point, I have seen neither wear nor tear, nor peeling, nor yellowing, nor anything bad about PPF 5 years and two months in.
Exhibit A here. My 2020 Model S with XPEL 10-mil PPF and OptiCoat Pro+ ceramic coating, over 5 years later. Looking as good or actually even better...
My R1S last year, corrosion on rear door. Replace door and myriad of parts, $10k.
The Rivian-certified repair shop that did the work was also fixing another Rivian that was stripped down to the shell because of a home explosion. Shop staff told me that repairs were up to $56k and counting.
My...
All EVs are very expensive to repair. Probably the same with ICE cars. And insurance companies are largely totalling instead or repairing them, reason why insurance rates are going up all the time.
What kind of age is your XPEL showing?
My Model S, like my MY and my R1S, has 10 mil XPEL with OptiCoat ceramic coating. 5 years in, it shows no issues other than two or three small nicks up front from road hits, expected.
I parked my MS next to another Tesla three years younger last weekend...
I am not interested in road hazard warranty, but would very much like to purchase lifetime spin balancing and flat repair. This is what I did for my two Teslas OEM tires. Unfortunately, DT mentioned that it no longer sells such certificates unless tires purchased at DT. Perhaps this has...
These prices are all a mirage. Do not believe your lying eyes. We were told that the American populace will not pay for the price increases.
My Tesla UWC cost $425 two years ago. Set up as a dumb charger, it works perfectly.
Check for local utility rebates. There is the 30% tax credit on...
Would not trade either of my Teslas for anything in the world. Short trip, 700 miles so far. Tesla FSD on my Model S is truly a godsend navigating through heavy traffic, in the big city, traffic jams, everywhere with methodical accuracy, all the while sitting back and watching not knowing what...
Currently travelling in my Tesla (free juice), here is v1.5 of my Pet Mode alert to those who might see my dogs in the back seat.
Windows and hatchback tinted maximum legal, windshield is not ( clear ceramic film only).
Still, my dogs largely hang out in back seat sleeping and are likely not...
Good luck putting thermometer at window and having it read inside temp. accurately. Nad enough as it is how fairly off temp. is on app at the middle seat area.
Concerned or upset citizens about dogs inside a closed up car mean well. EVs are fairly new and many out there do not know about the great pet mode feature.
Last year, a lady very concerned about my dogs inside my R1S, and it was a warm day, chased and found me at a restaurant to let me know...
