  1. Winter/Snow/Ice performance

    You decide how well it does in the cold... That said, garage it if you can (keeps her warmer). It will have preconditioning for warming the cabin (remote via the mobile app), and they would be silly to not support preconditioning of the car for scheduled departures. As for braking, for me...
  2. Polestar 3 Previewed

    There's a college boy quip in there about 2 inches making a big difference...
  3. Polestar 3 Previewed

    Well... $#@!.
  4. Polestar 3 Previewed

    Sadly, too small for the dog... plus, he got all "I'm NOT GOING IN THE TRUNK!" when we tried to shove him in there. And the same issue with the controls, she dislikes having everything in the MCU screen. The moment she had the fiddle around in there to move her mirrors and HVAC, she was out.
  5. Polestar 3 Previewed

    Seriously. I'd put it as a strong contender to replace my wife's aging ICE. She wants a 4 door, AWD hatchback with 250ish+ miles of range, that our big ass dog can fit in: The Y is ok, but she hates the controls (wants the instrument cluster and more buttons and such). The VW has no Frunk...

    Looks like an XC-40 and a Model Y had a bebe...
  7. Rivian Selects AWS as Its Preferred Cloud Provider to Drive Efficiency, Performance, and Refinement of Electric Vehicles

    *cackle* 5% discount and if I buy it on Amazon.com, do I also get 5% back? ...and wouldn't shipping be free via Prime (no Delivery Charge)? ...jus' sayin'...
  8. Paint Care Protection Thread

    So I use APC Auto Spa. They were based in Woodinville, but shifted out to Monroe (so a bit more of a trek now). As for why Black interior: I have a Model X with a White interior and blue jeans are the enemy. Even through the seats are resistant to staining and colour transfer, it still happens...
  9. Concerned with reliability of this new startup?

    Personally, I'm not too worried. I've owned a Tesla now for awhile, and, outside of one issue, most of the "reliability" issues that Consumer Reports calls out, were software issues that were generally quickly addressed via either a system reboot, or a cache purge (thanks MCU 1 and poor eMCC...
  10. Why the 6-month delay from Oct ‘21 to Mar ‘22?

    Yes. To put it into perspective, I have a sofa I ordered months ago. A sofa. Some fabric, some wood, a bit of steal wire, a touch of foam, and smattering of stuffing. ...it will take until April to get that. We also queued up a remodel of our kitchen for this year. And while contractors...

    Funny you mention this. Ford must be a total shit show right now in that case, you can't even CONFIGURE your F150 Lightning (Pro, XLT, Lariat, Platinum or options at all), no pricing guidelines, all they have said for any availability is "Spring/Summer of 2022", and when I speak with the...
  12. Rivian CS: R1T Adventure Package deliveries start March 2022. Non-LE pre-order holder delivery window emails coming by end of year

    Watching these threads is akin to watching a kid lick cookie dough off a beater still attached to a plugged-in mixer. ...you know what's going to happen... sooner or later... Kids tongue got sucked into the mixer about halfway into page one here. At any rate, do I think non-LE models will...
  13. Max Pack holders: tell me your thoughts

    While I and my family don't need a Max pack, I am holding firm on it as when we do family trips or camping, having that range is extremely nice. Especially if there are limited charging options or no fast DC options along the way (or worse, those options are offline).
  14. Why the 6-month delay from Oct ‘21 to Mar ‘22?

    It's not just Rivian. My Ford dealer just called, said order banks are not opening now, until Jan. So even Ford is slipping from Oct -> Dec -> Jan.
  15. January 2022 Delivery Estimate Removed

    Curious what you go for. The only other vehicle on the horizon for me that would complete (and meet my needs) is the F150 Lightning... which... while I have been told to expect "Spring/Summer of 2022"... I ain't buyin' it until I see a VIN. ...which means, holding where I am and not cashing in...

    Hmmm... I think I can tell when these emails started to flow...
  17. Doug DeMuro tours the F150 Lightning

    It's like Captain Kirk and Alvin the Chipmunk had a baby.

    Could be worse... could have just missed the LE window AND selected Max Pack...
