  1. R2 V2L Charging Adapter "Field Outlet" trademarked by Rivian

    That is very helpful. This sounds manageable for you. And is certainly workable for off-grid type scenarios. But It doesn't appear that their system is hands off enough to automate a continuously variable environment where the system optimizes integration of solar panels, EV as battery storage...
  2. R2 V2L Charging Adapter "Field Outlet" trademarked by Rivian

    Thanks! Would you mind making this a little more clear? If you take vehicles (R1T and trade in) out of the equation, what do you estimate you have in solar panels, inverters, and all Sigenergy "stuff"? Your exact system config (major components) would be interesting but probably too much...
  3. R2 V2L Charging Adapter "Field Outlet" trademarked by Rivian

    Thanks; good to hear. I assume the system switches to grid power if needed (and available). Let us know if you every try it over multiple days. You think the target needs to be higher than the current SOC. But how do you ensure that over several days? Or even 24 hours? I'm interested in running...
  4. R2 V2L Charging Adapter "Field Outlet" trademarked by Rivian

    As I noted in reply to one of your other posts, the very same user (Youtube True_Dad) posted a later video that clarifies the Sigenergy system works "80%" of the time with his Rivian as a part of the system. I *believe* he said it works great (100%?) with one of his other vehicles. If I recall...
  5. Rivian Service policy - no alternative transportation unless vehicle kept for 48 hrs

    That might make R2s a casualty for us also. I can *maybe* see this within X distance (50mi?) of a service center. But we are 3.5-4 hours from any service center. We've had relatively good luck as far as the need for service goes, but if this turns out to be actual policy I'll not be able to...
  6. NEW Wireless Charging Pad confirmed - in my 2026 R1T. Works amazingly better!

    The Youtube by True_dad you link above was in October. He subsequently reported that the system timed out every 20 minutes. Then, In this video about 1 month ago, the same Sigenergy user states that it works great......about 80% of the time. That's not a working system. BTW, if the system...
  7. NEW Wireless Charging Pad confirmed - in my 2026 R1T. Works amazingly better!

    Which ones actually work? The Sigenergy solution for example does not seem entirely stable. Has that now been resolved and/or what are the others available that are actually working in a dependable fashion?
  8. Electrek - Tesla and SpaceX announce $25B ‘Terafab’ chip factory — here’s why it reeks of desperation

    NOTE: This response posted because we simply have to stop accepting "you can't talk about that here". Would not, if posted in any other subforum than one focused on Rivian's competition. ------ How Tesla as a company spends/invests money has a direct relationship to their financial performance...
  9. "Rivian has identified your R1 may be at risk of experiencing a 12-volt battery failure."

    Well, there are at least a few of us with deliveries in 2022 w/o replacement. Fingers now crossed!
  10. Electrek - Tesla and SpaceX announce $25B ‘Terafab’ chip factory — here’s why it reeks of desperation

    This really doesn't seem too difficult to understand. There is a sub-forum here titled "Rivian vs. Competitors". Tesla is doing a fab venture, that will have some (unknown) affect on their ability to compete against their peers - positive or negative. The OP has opinions about that. Why is...
  11. Will Gen1 R1's ever get text ability?

    "Early 2026" was the word RJ put out late in 2025. We are close to missing that description. But it sounds like it is coming. At this point I would be surprised if it became available prior to the first production R2s hitting the street as the Rivian Assistant (including texting) should be part...
  12. Uber & Rivian Announce Autonomous R2 Robotaxi Partnership (w/ 1.25 Billion Investment)

    I agree with the description of the Dodge Charger drivers being associated with douche bags.... I was around when all of these where first marketed and then transitioned into older age. Nobody I knew considered a Crown Vic, Taurus, or Caprice as the "cool" cars. Both Ford and Chevrolet did have...
  13. WSJ: Tesla Faces Expanded U.S. Probe Over Self-Driving Performance in Poor Weather

    Glad you asked for what I would do. I would first stop the continued sale of FSD until Tesla was fully prepared to deliver data required to analyze safety in real time. The "we are not a car company, but a "AI, robotics, autonomy company" should be able to deliver data quickly. As they have...
  14. Uber & Rivian Announce Autonomous R2 Robotaxi Partnership (w/ 1.25 Billion Investment)

    It can easily be argued that none of these were cool with the possible exception of the Tesla. Sales success does not equate to cool. Crown Vic cool? Nope. Taurus? In whose world? Caprice? Cool only happened after the quit making the ones that are cool (to some people). Charger? Kids around...
  15. WSJ: Tesla Faces Expanded U.S. Probe Over Self-Driving Performance in Poor Weather

    Same conversation. You said, ".....but I don't know how much clearer they can be about needing to pay attention while using FSD." Hence my response. I'll say again, no matter what the screen in the vehicle says if brand ambassadors and company employees (CEO, etc.) are permitted to sell the...
  16. Uber & Rivian Announce Autonomous R2 Robotaxi Partnership (w/ 1.25 Billion Investment)

    Who does Tesla have a partnership with? Rivian's approach to self-driving is significantly different in many respects.
  17. Uber & Rivian Announce Autonomous R2 Robotaxi Partnership (w/ 1.25 Billion Investment)

    Which vehicles were cool before they became taxis and cop cars?
  18. WSJ: Tesla Faces Expanded U.S. Probe Over Self-Driving Performance in Poor Weather

    Tesla's marketing dept, CEO and paid for social media posts regarding Robotaxi and FSD capability confuse the issue greatly. Saying different things in different contexts is not effective communication. No matter what appears on the vehicle screen.
  19. New to forums and Rivian - want to discuss my pre-purchase concerns

    OP does not seem to be as serious a researcher as claimed. Rivian does not conform to most of their stated deal killing or near killing requirements. A simple search for each would reveal more than they would have time to read. Why look for another re-hash?
