Yeah I'm definitely in the camp that a little incidental pressure (someone leaning on it a bit) shouldn't break the thing. You ever leaned a bit on a windshield or a window? I have, they don't just break.

Is there no condensate path routing under the car I saw someone else post just wet spots under the panels like it just finds its way out and drips *somewhere*, which would be concerning.

This is usually just from the crown of the road itself. It's sloped ever so slightly to guide water off the surface. Some alignments may try to counteract this (because we usually drive on the right) but most don't because it can make behavior less predictable on highways or when passing. You...

Agree with the sentiment here that they need to fix the simple "this always worked everywhere else why doesn't it now" stuff like the ridiculous idle drain and door locks. I understand wanting to preserve a battery, but it surely can't be so sensitive that the truck needs to run air...

Not necessarily, I can get HEPA filters much larger than what's used in a car for a purifier at home for $20-30 They're also for completely different purposes, carbon is for neutralizing odors and VOCs and really wouldn't last long in a car, HEPA (or any paper/cloth filter really) is for...

Every time I watch one of these videos and see the door locks NOT WORK just pisses me off, like this has been a solved problem for decades, most cars these days can just unlock with a sensor in the handle and it works *perfectly*, why are we taking a step backwards from something we haven't had...

Given that they already sell a delivery van for Amazon it feels like they could sell an empty/workmans version of that, give it a real inverter and then you have a big efficient van and portable generator all in one.

Generally this is true - but the glass roof on this feels like it would be a bit different than just a moonroof given the size of the panel, the fact that there's no headliner cover, and how damaging shattering could be. Tesla uses a laminated roof glass and I wouldn't put it past Rivian to do...

Has anyone tried to take this through an automatic car wash? I don't know how much pressure one of those might put on it but if someone resting a hand on the edge cracked it, a car wash would be a really terrible place to find out it can't handle it. Safety glass blocks UV and won't break into...

I dropped OC when they switched to black wood. My favorite thing about it was the warmth it added to the cabin it just looks much more sterile now. The wood accents actually have a bit of blue tone which almost feels like it adds more to the black than the white. I still like the white...

Yeah this - at least Tesla had a bit of an excuse in that they were just varying fan speeds to direct air. This is all the same hardware as a manual vent + unnecessary motors. Just extra nonsense to fiddle with and break.

If my roof can't keep the lions out I'm not sure it's an "adventure" vehicle lmao Do you never actually drive anywhere? Or do you just only drive places fancy enough that there is garage parking at *every* location? It seems unavoidable to just never leave the car outside if you actually use...

You know - if they just had industry-standard phone integration that I could find on a new $20k car it wouldn't be a problem, they can take as long as they want.... That's the biggest miss outside physical design for sure. Physically I think their biggest misses were the extremely limited AC...

All this wouldn't even be a problem if they just gave us AA/Carplay but alas...

Frankly I think PPF is something that will never pay off - maybe a front wrap only but even that's dubious unless you can do it yourself for parts cost. People daily drive cars and they get nicked, dinged, etc. Most people just trade their car to a dealer for average pricing and particularly...

The wood is a thin veneer, I don't think there's much to sand off before it's all gone.

For capacity retention it has typically been shown that lower storage voltages are better. They're arguably not so usable though and there's not a huge benefit to going below 50% for something regularly used. Storing for an extended period of time at low voltages can raise internal resistance...

I'd think it would slow things down, there were probably a lot more explore reservations than they were letting on and all those people might get queued ahead of other Adventure holders now if they switch over. Wouldn't affect you, but a lot of the rest of us.

Doesn't this have EPAS? Why would there be a hydraulic pump? The only reason older cars did is because you can drive it off an accessory belt but everyone's moving away from that now.

Congrats - fingers crossed for mine with an earlier order at the same place but with the rivi lottery you never know :| edit: I just got notified I had shop access a few hours ago!
