The people I envy are those that won the game. How they win the game is entirely up to them. What is the game? It's having control over your own destiny and overcoming all the challenges that we face in society doing so. To accomplish this while you still have the mental and physical...

Personally I don't care to be remembered. I don't want to be famous or infamous. I want to be in the shadows. Unlike the elite obsessed with not dying my wish is health up to my last dying bread at a reasonable target age of 80ish. I think that's an entirely reasonable goal while not...

I don't agree or disagree. I've been a member of various online automotive owners forums for a long time. There are always fanboi's that are so obsessed with a product that they don't like any kind of negativity. These tend to be a loud minority where you see a massive message count as if...

I like the counter point you brought up as food for thought. I'd like to believe I have 30+ years left to ponder this but you never know. I'm at the age where it deaths start to slope up. The intent of using AI was so it had adaptability. That it wasn't fixed and could adapt to the new...

Who are you to say what other people can use this forum for? Where in the Forums rules does it say you can't whine, vent or be emotional about it? How can you even own a Rivian if you couldn't whine, vent or be emotional about it? I don't know about anyone else but I don't need to go from...

It's certainly not a cheat code but I highly agree that its the low stakes table. That one of the reasons most parents don't get fancy cars is stakes are too high. What's interesting is that he was well into his 40's before he had kids which is really at the last second if you think about it in...

During life money is largely security Food security, housing security, etc. The biggest difference I see between people of similar income levels is the need for more security. I likely bought a first Gen R1T with cash as I didn't need the security at the time wasn't too high. Then things...

One could say any new car is for rich people. Anyways back in 2015 that was how people saw Tesla and that quickly changed once Tesla released the Model 3. So I expect the same thing to happen once Rivian releases the R2. As to the comment? I think some people simply have an inherent pride...

I think it depends on the product or service. Something like a car I can't see rating it a 1 or a 5 and even the scale from 1-5 is too low. I'd use an out of 100 score. For an Uber driver what rationality would there in anything other than a binary score? I rate them a 5 as long if I didn't...

The $7500 tax credit wasn't applicable to the majority of people purchasing a Rivian so I don't think it hit Rivian as much as it did other EV makers. There was the lease loop hole so it did help people leasing it but I'm not seeing much difference in the before and after lease cost. 2025...

There is no question that owners of expensive vehicles tend to be a-holes. Now this doesn't mean all or even most. It just means that the likelihood of a Rivian owner being an a-hole is higher than average. Plus on average the A-hole quotient is going up as our society itself crumbles due to...

Why would it be none of their business? and why would they not care? The first question we have to ask is who they are? For a Rivian forum they are current owners, perspective owners, stock owners, stock shorters. The person leaving might or might not have developed friendships within the...

Gen 1 - Luke Warm. Certainly less than 95F My previous Jeep Wrangler was set at the perfect temperature. Not too hot that I needed to turn it off. It also came with the extra bonus of automatically turning on in cold weather.

Buy today for promised features that will never come.

My favorite is Jeep Wrangler Owners complaining about the ride quality. Every vehicle has its unique traits. Rivian - Passive entry system just ignores you for a few awkward seconds and the HVAC will always be a complete disaster. Defender - Service will cost as much as the car itself once...

I expect every forum to have more problems than praises because that's how car forums work. I've had my fair share of issues with my Gen 1 Rivian R1T but nothing that would make me want to part ways with it. I've also gotten used to glitches of the passive entry system where I'm just waiting...

Strange. Normally it requires me to buy a stock for the expected behavior to cease. :-)

Have you been doing that all year? :-) It's almost like clock work.

I believe the company has solid leadership and a good product portfolio. They offer the most Tesla like experience outside of having a Tesla. They also have a deal with VW that not only benefits them but makes VW vehicles more attractive. I've been following ID Buzz forums for awhile and a lot...

They should change the symbol to a death symbol instead of the blue outline thing. :-) I'd die of heat stroke if I had to put it into defog mode for a long period of time.
