The shop manuals and tools already exist, how do you think Rivian would service the cars themselves? Tools can be as cheap as the company wants to make them, it's this non-standard obfuscation that makes them expensive (what could it be doing you couldn't do with a USB port and a computer?)...

They have to do something about it, even the lower numbers (~2pct/day) seem awful high for anything it should be doing. Other than camera stuff what on earth would it need to do? My car sits in the garage for 2 weeks and doesn't kill a lead acid battery which is good for what, 500Whr? If other...

Yeah you must be new to this whole "EV" company thing, none of them want your car to treat you like you own it. It would absolutely improve the product to make it capable of running with a motor down but as it stands it seems like we just have 4 points of failure instead of one or two...

You really need a decent air tank to buffer things like air tools. My understanding is the Rivian compressor is almost entirely just a compressor/inflator unit which is great if you have a light constant load like inflating a tire but not useful for tools. I don't think they've released any spec...

I don't care what department it is, it's a representative of the business, we can judge the business for those actions. If they don't like it they can change their policy.

Are there any owners in here that can confirm if you can change tire sizes in the UI (at least between the OE sizes if not others?) for people who might swap the stockers?

I'm pretty convinced the max pack will never happen, it's either going to be outright cancelled or just indefinitely delayed. Rivian has published almost no information about it, we haven't seen any test mules running around, we know there's a battery shortage that RJ himself is on record as...

I think people here shouting "demand a new truck" may be going a bit far, these are still new vehicles. That said you should not accept a "repaired" vehicle. You're paying for a new car here and should get one. If the tailgate and lightbar was damaged, they need to replace the tailgate and...

Well yeah, why do you think they don't want to support phone mirroring apps? It's certainly not for our benefit.

I don't know - he had a lot of complaints about Tesla and the M3 when they first came out, I wouldn't blame him for investing after they basically started incorporating a lot of the suggestions it probably does something for your sense of self worth if an entire company retools their model after...

You don't happen to work at starkiller base do you? I get a real first order vibe from this one lol

The microprocessor doesn't see this. Any computer equipment you plug into AC has its own AC->DC power supply that really just cares about charging an input capacitor and firing pulses through a transformer to generate a lower or higher voltage rectified output. You'd be surprised how sloppy of...

An air compressor doesn't by itself have enough flow to really clean anything without a storage tank, you're probably not going to get anything like this. Turn on your (empty) air compressor with a blow gun on it and check how much air you're getting out of it, it's not going to be much, and...

Hours is not going to kill a battery, consistently storing them at 100% will yeah but leaving it overnight (when it's typically cooler as well) isn't going to hurt as much as people think.

Because 6% of the battery is 8kWh, it's more than my desktop computer with a 3090 uses over that time. It is not a particularly efficient rig. A car with the computation power of a modern cell phone should do quite a bit better. 4kWh per day is extremely high parasitic drain for *anything*.

CS told me very plainly that your order date, location and configuration type is the determining factor of when your delivery will be available. I believe this notice is shown if you attempt to change models as well. There is no separate "line" for R1S or R1T that you'll get put 'at the back...

Dealers can reprogram the speedo on most vehicles, especially trucks as it's extremely common for owners to change tire sizes, I've never been hassled about it. At the very least I'd hope we can switch ourselves between the OEM sizes (33/34), though there are a ton of options in 275/55/R20...

Unless they're pig-headed like Tesla they'll let us re-calibrate the speedometer to match a new tire size like every other car manufacturer. But I don't have particularly high hopes, surprised this isn't required by law or something.

God I hope not, 3kW/h a day sitting idle sounds like a tremendous waste. I remember all those suggestions to unplug phone/laptop chargers to avoid that half watt of idle drain or whatever but that's not going to mean much if our cars take 100W just sitting around. If it's for cameras/tracking...

Forest green all the way, when they initially showed it off that's what I saw. I want the press color and honestly it has major Range Rover vibes which work great with the green. Whenever I see the LG it looks like olive drab and ehhhhhh I'm just not a fan
