I decided to try skiing in the R1, it's my first time taking it up in the hills so I wanted to write a little trip report for anyone who might find it useful Summary: 2.17 mi/kwh 170 miles to/from winter park, CO 3h46m drive time Departure conditions ~45F, garaged Arrival conditions ~5F -...

I think the only thing you could really point to at the point of liability is the complete failure of ABS at low speeds. You can't sell a car in the US without ABS right now and I assume that to mean the ABS has to actually work. Having to press the accelerator to unlock your wheels is a...

That's interesting - if the reported loss is just voltage depression in the cells that messes up the reading and not actual energy use I'd feel a lot better about it. It's just hard to tell from the end user perspective because once you're driving you're actually using the energy, it might not...

These things have a big ladder frame under them I bet it's straight as an arrow with that little damage showing.

I think people are reading too much into this as a 'cheapening.' Every vehicle is built to a price, if you're putting in features that will benefit almost nobody then you're wasting money that can be better spent elsewhere if you don't want to just save it. And frankly, there are some cost...

I think we know what happened

Plastic snap clips are used everywhere in industry it doesn't make too much sense to use a magnet for something people don't have real reason to disassemble. Frankly I don't mind working with these (they don't get all rusty crusty) and you can usually get a bag of 50 for $10 if they break anyway.

At low speeds (like <5mph or something) it has to because there's not much bEMF from the motor to slow the vehicle. It would have to apply power to the motor to slow it further.

There aren't many good ones. If they just let me use my phone I don't have to care nearly as much what their implementation schedule is, they can go and do what they want in the order they want. If they think the native system can be better - show us instead of making the phone unusable. If it...

We need a handshake reaction on this forum ?

Honestly this looks like a great update for a lot of reasons not just the snow mode, looking forward to it.

I don't think this is a software problem. We have 1 insurmountable obstacle and one somewhat solveable 1. 1. The truck is heavy as all fuck, this is going to hurt stopping/turning performance on slick surfaces. As much as people might hate on Munro/etc for suggesting changes to 'cheapen' the...

I have a pretty annoying squeak coming from the rear window area, typically when it's warmer or when the car has been sitting out in the sun. This is especially noticeable on a twisting load (like entering/leaving a ramped driveway at an angle, or turning over a speed bump, etc but I can hear it...

I had reported a similar issue and got some feedback from the resident Rivian employee there that they suspected this issue in my vehicle as well. No fix yet but hopefully soon. For what it's worth, the drain may be inconsistent. When I drive the car I actually use the frunk quite often (easier...

Air the tires down a bit if you're worried. Going down to 40PSI shouldn't cause much uneven wear or range loss but it will expand your ground contact by 20% and let the tire flex a little easier. If you're mostly concerned with traction when driving locally around tahoe itself you won't notice...

Not only is it dangerous, but 'locked' wheels don't even generate any power on regen. If it actually locks up on regen it's a horrendous oversight. I haven't been in slippery enough conditions to trigger this, the only exception being coming to a quick stop at low speed seemed to cause it to...

For what it's worth - PAAK actually works really well for me, the problem is it has to leave the phone 'on' to basically work which is annoying. I'm not sure how they would really fix it and keep the proximity PAAK. If the fob had proximity that would be nice, but also I think the way most cars...

Yep it sucks up battery pretty bad. On the pixel at least it doesn't show as an "app" that's using battery, but if you use other tools you can see the phone basically no longer enters the same sleep state that it would if it's off. Basically costs me 30-40% extra phone battery in a day if I...

The thing is there's no harm in storing a lithium battery at 20F, you can keep them in your freezer at 0F at home and they'll last longer even. Now if you want to charge them you have to have them warmer, but surely the car could recognize that *after* you plug a charger in. You can use the...

The speaker I think probably would be a useful thing it just doesn't need to be where it is. It would be just as good in a slot in the frunk, no one needs to access it while they're driving and I'd rather just have more storage.
