I've been also looking at the Gladiator. It's the only other pickup which I consider interesting.
However it misses a lot features I'd like to have:
- No ventilated seats
- No lane centering
- No 360 cameras
- Only 400W outlet(actually 400W shared between 2 outlets)
- No air suspension
- 0-60 >...
In general I usually use light mode during the day and dark mode at night. I'd assume it can change the mode automatically based on the light conditions
It bugs me as well. I've noticed this on other test vehicles also so it's not just this one.
If that's the cost of fancy opening, I'd take standard hinge any day.
Anyway, since it's so hard to miss, I'm hoping they will fix that.
Did you all do anything specific to receive those emails? I did not receive anything since Jan 6th.
Did they also send an email about charging network for example? In my profile I have "General Communication Emails -> Stay up to date on Rivian products, news, and events." checked.
I love my I-Pace, and there's no other car on the market at the moment I'd like to have instead. R1T will be my other car and also don't see any competition to it.
I-Pace will be probably replaced first, when the warranty is up. Not sure what will be available at the time. Porsche Macan EV maybe?
This is probably the only deal breaker I have at the moment regarding features.
I'm however very optimistic Rivian will have it. On the video with Georgia's politician, when he asks about the backup camera, you can hear Rivian's representative saying it will have 360 birds eye view.
I don't know, but almost every car has that feature, so my guess is so will Rivian.
Personally I stopped using this feature when cars started having 360 view cameras.
I agree. In my current car I'm getting around 60 interstate miles in 20 minutes. Anything above 100 miles in a vehicle that looks like a brick ;-) will make me happy.
Pretty sure that by 140 miles in 20 minutes Rivian does not mean 140 miles of range at 70 mph. It will probably be 140 EPA miles at best possible charging conditions.
I don't count on more than 110-120 interstate miles charge in 20 minutes.
I think it's definitely good value for the money, however with with max charge rate of 55 kW it's mostly suitable to drive around city. Super Cruise is mostly useful on road trips in my opinion, so it doesn't go quite well with this charge rate.
I'd probably choose ID.4 at this point. With...
In my region there is not much difference between Tesla SC and EA network - location wise. However most SCs are 150 kW while EA's location are 350 kW, which for vehicle like Rivian should matter.
Assuming that charging at SC would be possible, most probably I wouldn't even bother to get an...
For this specific route you should be good with Rivian even today if you're OK in model X.
EA has almost identical spacing of chargers along I-40. And whereas all SCs outside of Nashville are 150 kW, all EA locations have 350 kW chargers.
