  1. Software Update 2023.42.0 is out (⚠️ UPDATE: OTA fix rolling out today 11/15/23)

    This thread clearly demonstrates how inferior the Rivian vehicles are to the VW ID.4. I haven’t had a single botched-up OTA software update in my ID.4. In fact, I haven’t had a single OTA update yet.
  2. 5,000 mile tire rotation: how-to DIY tips

    Discount Tire rotates tires for free (without balance), and they charge $60 for lifetime rotation with balance. One could buy this four-puck kit and keep it in the car just in case Discount Tire doesn’t have it. I was told by Discount Tire just yesterday they didn’t use to have the pucks for...
  3. Bad Efficiency Getting Worse?

    I spoke with a VW dealer in Quebec about the range drop on EVs. He told me that based on their experience, the biggest drop in EV efficiency occurs between 10C and 0C (50F to 32F). Once the temperature drops below freezing, the loss in efficiency slows down. So, the biggest effect of cold...
  4. Cybertruck No Resale for 12 months - per order agreement

    If anyone wants to flip a CyberTruck, take it to Europe and drive it to Russia. You can get five times the price for it in Russia. And you can sell a few thousand of them there at this price.

    Have you thought for a second that it may be you who is stupid and not others?
  6. Cybertruck No Resale for 12 months - per order agreement

    Ferrari has a similar rule for certain models.
  7. 7 months later and a 50k repair bill, I have my R1T back!

    Frankly, I don’t understand a $40,000 repair bill. My 2022 ID.4 isn’t even worth that much. I did have a fender bender in it which resulted in a broken headlight ($1,000) and a bumper replacement, which totaled $6,000 altogether. The $40,000 plus repair bill scares me.
  8. 7 months later and a 50k repair bill, I have my R1T back!

    I spend months in Canada every year and I discuss their healthcare with Canadians all the time. I’m yet to meet one Canadian who told me that they didn’t love their system. The word “love” is what they usually use to express their opinion of their system. The only time I hear complaints about...
  9. RAN Charging Costs are now live! (at certain stations)

    What are EA and Tesla Supercharger rates in California? By the way, your home electricity off-peak rates are 4.5 times as high as my peak rates while your gasoline is less than twice as expensive as mine.
  10. Max battery pack - delivery waiting time?

    I thought Rivian states 390 miles in R1S DM max pack. This could easily become 340 miles of range at 75 mph average speed and 280 miles of range in sub-freezing temperatures at 75 mph average speed. They are still incredible numbers, though. Having traveled extensively in a non-Tesla EV As well...
  11. 7 months later and a 50k repair bill, I have my R1T back!

    It’s, in fact, ironic that the very people who enlist to fight for capitalism enjoy socialist-style healthcare and other socialized programs. Same goes for US Congress where at least half of the members are staunch proponents of capitalism while passing laws that ensure they themselves are...

    This happens because people make poor choices and don’t learn lessons. If there is no consequence for poor choices, she will do it again.

    Payment plan from her salary by court order.
  14. 7 months later and a 50k repair bill, I have my R1T back!

    Well, in this case, a settlement was signed that waived any reimbursement for the lost value. So, own insurance bailed out on the reimbursement for lost value.
  15. Max battery pack - delivery waiting time?

    The large pack doesn’t work out for me until Rivian gets access to the Superchargers. Hence, I’m in wait mode.
