Yup yup... the driver has to be able to override the support system at a moments notice. Anyone that has had AutoPilot or FSD active on a freeway doing 60-75MPH and then have your Tesla "phantom break" knows this well. Just because your vehicle has advanced safety and assistance capabilities...

Car: "MUST HAVE BROWN BUTTER COOKIES FROM WHOLE FOODS!" Driver: "What the fu...? OMG HEDGE!"

If you drop an R1T into deep enough water... it will float like a boat (for a bit... I won't be willing to test it), which is why they tell you to stop at 3 feet of water... the vehicle will start to float and lose traction. Soooo... you should be fine.

Agreed, Tesla has the better part of a decade lead on Rivian (and everybody else), with tens, if not hundreds of millions of miles of "in world" drive data that give them an unimaginable amount of data points to refine their system every few weeks. Keep in mind, when Tesla first rolled out, AP...

Pretty sure MotorTrend > TFL on the "old school truck" crowd. Or really, any other professional automotive review media outlet. Rivian does not have enough trucks to loan one out to everyone, they will triage for scope of impact on the desired target audience(s) and go from there. On top of...

Hmmm... I was hoping to see a "Dog Mode", though, I presume that will roll out later. This bubbles up as, while I suspect I can set the climate control to be active while I'm not in the truck, it looks like if there is motion in the cab the alarm will go off (could be... problematic if el doggo...

Agreed, it would be silly to propose that Rivian (or any other startup looking to build a product) has not brought onboard experienced professionals in these fields. Are we expecting that this would be true of all aspects of their line of business? That is, they decided to design an all new...

For whatever reason(s) the TFL folks were not given exclusive access to an R1T or R1S, invited to the press event, or loaned an R1T before other automotive outlets... this video did not help them. It came off as whiney... almost like a 4 year old not getting the toy they wanted in a toy aisle...

Every article or mention I've come across that discusses RJ, leave me feeling that not only am I investing in a solid truck that was well thought out, planned for, and will be supported by an engaged and enthusiastic team at Rivian, but that I'm buying into and adding my voice of support for a...

The idea of having to deal with a dealership and all the idiocy that entails (markups, wasted time, the fact you go cry in a shower and desperately try and scrub yourself clean afterwards) is the biggest drawback to the F-150 for me. I could make due with the other issues I see with it...

"Bad Touch" The band is slick. I know there is a ring for the Model 3 and Y that you can do the same thing with (which, in my opinion is better than a band) but a lot better then a key fob. The remove HVAC control and window controls are also nice for: Dogs in the car while in the store...

I will note, I DO have this little item with my front plate mounted to it and keep it in my car, so that if I do get pulled over I can tell the officer "It fell off and I didn't have a chance to clip it back on." Amazon.com: ThatGrin LLC Genuine Slipstream Bracket for 2020-2016 Tesla Model X -...

Adding to the chorus, honestly, I'd be most worried if I was Porsche, Audi, Jaguar, VW, and/or Ford. The fact that your 2-4 door sedans and sports cars have nearly the same consumption rate as a Rivian PICKUP TRUCK speaks volumes about how bad their designs are. I also fully expect that once...

The only issue I've had with air suspension has been the compressor dying. Typically a pretty quick fix.

Unless you really need to drive for 600+ miles in a day with no breaks, this makes no sense. I personally like to eat lunch or at least go pee once in a 600 mile trek... Nope. At least as a Tesla, I have not (not for a SuperCharger). For L2's in the public is a crapfest. If it's in a popular...

Same here... I was like "Whoa... buddy, I'm excited about this all as well but not that excited." ...and then I actually looked at the image closer.

I have an X. It's a great car and I went the route of the X to replace my custom built Dodge Durango R/T that I basically built out into an SRT (Whipple SuperCharger and all) as I was both tired of dropping $100+ a week on Premium (ya ya ya... mostly self inflicted wound there), but also the...

On the 4G front, I'll just use my phone as a WiFi hotspot for the truck and use it's 5G... problem solved.

Agreed. Not worried about the drain, actually prefer not having to deal with capturing the grey waste water. The big seller for me with the sink is the pressurized and controlled waterflow. ...and yeah, not having to make sure everything is cleaned, fueled/restocked, packed... and then...

Same... combined with a roof/bed top tent for us and it frees up a bunch of "crap" I otherwise need to store, pack, and repack after we are done camping. Plus... it has a sink (not just a water basin).
