Any iPhone after >14 has had satellite messaging for emergencies. And then they all got access to satellite messaging once I think iOS 16 or 17 came out. All through globalstar. Outside the poles and some odd dead spots and the tips of southern hemisphere countries access should be available...

Nice work.. did you overlay the “when did you order” tracker from this site, which has ppls orders and times of their order, to get a stochastic for TIME of that first days orders.. or at least first hours orders?

A lot of these haulers are owner operators and bring their own vehicle to use wherever they are.

I've seen posts on facebook and reddit that ppl started getting emails YESTERDAY WEDNESDAY that they would be able to order on June 9th!.. is it happening. WHERES MY EMAIL!

ya'll make all the fun you want, but the next time your out in Yosemite or remote and are trying to get that text message out in low or near zero data - and don't have a satellite enabled phone or plan, you're going to try and it and when you hear that little WHOOOSH, you're going to remember...

Yes, what is interesting and ironic, is that the whole Starlink to Cell phone protocol is based on 4g/LTE connections, not yet 5G. So, for direct to cars, or cell phones will still require Cellular modems that can do 4g/lte connections reliably.

Only 2-3 years late, but yes they opened up the beta early 2025.. not sure about video calls though i dropped out of the beta when t-mobile started charging. (The STARLINK partner, has anyone else joined up with STARLINK on the device side yet? I know T-mobile allow other carriers customers to...

Any prior Rivian AT&T connection was most Likely LTE at best, not 5G.. many ppl have their phones preset to the 5G connection almost exclusively or not to fall back to LTE quickly.. so it can often be true that the LTE connection is getting through fine and stable, while the 5G attempt is having...

I doubt they will completely abandon a cellular carrier of some sort. It would mean that nothing works in a garage, a tunnel, a dense forest, sometimes heavy cloud cover, etc..

Well it DID take Tesla nearly FIVE models years to bring it to the Model 3..

Programmable opening height is a pretty premium feature.. I doubt its going to be on the R2. That said. At 6’4”, don’t think it wasn’t the first (ok 2nd) thing I checked with our 2 minutes with the car. And it’s JUST barely enough not to hit my head when it’s open, which is my standard test for...

Right next to needless markup in the Stanford shopping center.

May I ask, what is so appealing about the Light interior? Is it just because it was always a preference for early R1t and R1s owners? So matter of personal preference? Is there something about the dark/grey interior that functions poorly? I’ve had both types across many car types, and in a...

I’m not sure about demos, haven’t seen any other than some limited press. But I think putting the 20’s with AT on the ones that a few have industry reporters and influencers were able to drive a few months ago, most of what I saw included a lot of off pavement driving, dirt track and terrain and...

Technically didn’t the R1s some out only 1 year after the R1t?.. that said, for a vehicle like the R1S, they only delivery 20K? In 2023 (nearly none in 2022, 650?), ~ 50K in 2024, and 42K in 2025.. I have the feeling that the R2 should try and get to at least 75k- 100K in 2027. Their production...

My god, how are these pads NOT a fire hazard.. ?

These days out west a LOT of hotels have Tesla destination charges it’s just that there aren’t very many of them per location and they usually only deliver maybe 72kw or less and there is either no rhyme or reason or system to manage multiple ppl who need to charge at them or they are behind...

I plan on getting the spare, and will probably SHARE it with some local friends or others in a group for mostly roadtrips or off road trips when the risk of more than just a puncture is high. It’s quality insurance, but I won’t carry it all the time of course when a flat fix kit might work, or...

I’m pretty sure that within 2 weeks once deliveries start, someone in the reviewer community will have done a swap out of the AT’s for AS or other on the 20” and we’ll have our answer. It’s the kind of thing that OOS would do in a heartbeat.

I think a BIG part of the nearly 10% range hit for the 20“ with AT’s IS the AT’s.. technically, with a more performance all season or dry season tire much of that 10% should be reduced to quite a bit less if not nothing..
