Agree people just shouldn't be OK with this, it's too much energy for 0 consumer value. Imagine if your car burned gas while you weren't using it, people would never accept it.
I know it's "future" and "technology" to not just have an on/off button, but if it saves 2-3kWh/day give me the damn...
This is the camp I was in (more time in production = potentially better quality) but it may have already bit us in the butt with the tax credit changes. It depends if that BPA even holds up to scrutiny and I give it a 50/50 shot at best. I want my OC but if it really comes down to paying $7500...
I'd like to see them all disableable, frankly there are sometimes 'emergency' situations where I just want a "I know what I'm doing, leave me alone" button
It's extremely uncommon, but real life isn't predictable, the last thing I want is to be caught in a trap or something because my own car...
We need a lower regen mode. "Coasting" is critical in this situation and I don't expect a non-professional driver to correctly modulate the exact pedal force required to 'coast' this vehicle in the middle of a potential crash...
Just "letting off" is much easier and most people can figure that out.
I imagine this is probably a futile effort because if anyone knows anything we'd probably be hearing about it but it seems about time to pull on the threads and see what we get.
We've been given news of seeing OC in "Fall" which is a tremendously vague timeline, and it feels like a lot can...
As much as I'd like this to be true, I don't think it is. Tesla basically doesn't offer parts either (unless you count things like a wheel or floormats) and people have to strip them off of salvaged vehicles to do repairs. Most big auto companies have parts available because they're...
You're talking about a vehicle with 4 drive motors, air suspension and hydraulic anti roll, electric climate control vents and a myriad of other powered/unconventional accessories and sensors from a new vertically integrated company with a stated intention to not sell parts. Honestly the battery...
Still holding for OC, though I'm strongly on the fence, I switched for a hot minute to see if I could sneak a truck in earlier but heard nothing.
The Forest Green + OC look has to be one of the classiest combinations I've seen, though blue/OC and red/black also look solid. They did pretty well...
That is kind of ridiculous, it's a truck, and it's super common to change tire sizes on a truck.
Just let us set a tire outer diameter within an allowable range (or at the very least let the service center reprogram it.)
By my read, the text of the transition rule is pretty clear (at least from my amateur lawyer/non professional view)
There is no end date on when the vehicle must be placed into service, and establishing an end date would be a fundamental change to the law, beyond what the Treasury or IRS could...
Anyone with an ocean coast reservation keeping it into signing this?
From my read on the tax changes the transitional rule doesn't require delivery in 2022 (or 2023 for that matter), but I'm concerned OC could be delayed again and we see some IRS guidance that basically kneecaps this stuff for...
I'd have to say it was definitely a factor. Let's face it, this is a *complicated* vehicle from a new company that has an explicitly stated intention to not sell parts or make self service an easy or doable thing. I would not want to deal with having this in a Rivian shop at $250/hr for any...
Nothing really has the same presence as a clean black car.
If you're not willing to keep up with it though it's just a normal looking hot box you gotta climb in every time you park it outside.
How do they make this thing weigh 7000lbs with a thin arse windscreen?
Just seems like one of the many contributory factors I would expect to that weight total since it's fairly overbuilt elsewhere.
Ah I misread the post.
So on a different tire size the speedo is off but not the odo? That's wacky I guess they'd have to have some GPS compensation/calculation at least for that I just didn't think it would even be possible.
