First, by definition, *all of these* are proprietary. The fact that Amazon spends resources (both technical and marketing) to make sure Alexa is available everywhere doesn't make it *ANY* less proprietary than CarPlay and Android Auto. It's not an open standard that anybody could implement. It's...

Does your Tesla... *NOT* have cupholders?
We have 3 or 4 up front, depending on how we configure the console.
2 in the middle.
And I *think* there's some in the back row, but we haven't had those seats up for over a year.
The guidance from Tesla in Model S/X is "leaving the AC on full blast costs you 5 miles of range per hour"
Averaging between S and X that implies about a 1.5kw power draw for the compressor.
In practice, if you're parked - especially in the shade - and set a reasonable temperature, it should...
Model X owner chiming in.
Chose the 20" wheels.
(On the Model X) The overall tire diameter on the 22" is a *bit larger* than the 20"s, which negatively affects range.
The sidewall on the 22" is shorter, making it a harsher ride quality.
AFAIK, the load roading on the OEM 22" tires is the...
Not useful for lane changes.
Great for slow speed navigation of tight places (e.g. parking lot, or my driveway into my backyard).
Or making a right turn at a stop sign/red light in an urban environment, where you might have bicycles/pedistrian traffic come up on you while you're focusing on...
They're 2 years older than Rivian, and have been out of stealth with their first product(s) for a year longer than Rivian has.
I'd hope, for their sake, that they're farther along. I also hope for everyone that they succeed, as more major players in the EV market is a good thing.
But since I...
Unless Rivian offers it themselves (which may eventually happen since they've alluded to the camp kitchen's modular design that can be adapted), I actually want an aftermarket "gear tunnel railing platform" designed to make it easy to construct my own powered, slide-out gear tunnel accessories.
This was fairly well known, right? That the camp kitchen was easily removable and storable when you didn't need it?
First I've heard of the cover, though! Nice.
$5k is still too steep for us for something we'd use about once a year.
Have had our Model X for 3.5 years. They've steadily added and tweaked features since the day we got it.
Auto pilot improvements are great for the rare times I use AP, but I won't miss them in the Rivian if it falls behind. Smart summon in the app is a fun party trick, but I've never used it in...
This is a good point, but probably won't come up much in practice at the 275/60R20 size
Everything at Costco in the 275/60R20 size, for example, has a load index of at least 114, which is good for 2601lbs.
I'm not sure what the load index is on the OEM Pirellis but I'd wager that's the...
This is exactly what I'm doing.
I have the 20"s configured, which come with 275/65R20 tires.
I'll immediately set those tires aside and put 275/60R20 all-seasons on.
275/60R20 is almost exactly the same circumference as the 275/55R21 they say maximize range. So as long as you find a...
I configured my 400+ R1T Monday when the configurator went live. I think many of us did.
Deliveries of those 400+ R1Ts start Jan 2022, depending on where you were in the preorder queue of course.
That's what I'm saying - I don't think there will be any other electric truck with a 400+mi range...
Wheel bolt pattern, from a chat with Justin just now:
> All Rivian vehicles use the same bolt pattern, (5x5.5) and swapping the tires will not be an issue.
Ah I completely misread - I thought the claim was "25% of R1T deposits wanted an LE and couldn't get one"
Re-reading, I have no idea why I thought that ?
