What I figured out is that if it’s in EHA mode and checking eyes, if you just place a hand on the steering wheel then it reverts to basic HA and you can look behind you for 10 minutes and it won’t care. Basically it turns off eye checking. So now when I need to change hvac or radio or just look...
Do those of you that don’t understand stock trading as an insider, which the CEO most definitely is….all C and V employees are basically locked out permanently, because at any given time they know something that will critically impact the stock price in the next day/week/month etc. So they are...
Yep - both my Teslas do this too. One of the simplest ways of being a smoother/safer driver is to look ahead at cars in front of the car you’re following. No idea why ADAS systems don’t do this. It’s obvious they can see that far, especially the radar-based systems. Also doesn’t seem like the...
OP - sorry you cant win. Too many keyboard warriors on this forum who think that since they are happy to spend $100k on a product and get shit that everyone else should be to. Hopefully you get sooner rather than later service and get your issues fixed in one visit - which is far from...
Had to make a 1-day trip out and back with some spare wheels/tires for my M5 that hit a pot hole on the way back from Disney last weekend. Heres my learnings in no particular order:
1. I'll call Rivians three modes of driving "Enhanced Highway Assist" (EHA), "Highway Assist" (HA) and "Automated...
Having an MBA myself, and having done many surveys for work as a Product Manager in hi-tech, here is my considered feedback on your survey design:
1. Do you own a Rivian: Could be Yes, No, Yes AND ordered an R2, No AND ordered an R2. Your answers are not mutually exclusive and you are therefore...
I just bought an R1S in C and it does NOT have the front license plate mount. Seems to be pretty common. But none of my BMWs have a front plate and ive never been pulled over for that
First thoughts.
1. Bakersfield is not somewhere I will be moving soon!
2. Got 2.05 mi/kwh over 172 miles. I have the dual max, no all terrain, cross bars on top at rear two slots.
3. got about 350 miles in 75 mins at a Skycharger!
4. You can’t use driver assist or ACC over 85mph.
5. Sections...
Ill be driving from San Jose to Bakersfield (and then back again - over 500 miles of driving) this am in the new R1S Dual Max, along I5 and hope to use this feature on all of I5. Ill report back on how that goes tomorrow...along with efficiency and range numbers. Its telling me i will get there...
My stepdad had an Alpha Romeo GTV6 (https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1986-alfa-romeo-gtv6-26/) back when i was 16 or so and lived in Scotland just outside Aberdeen. I learned to drive on that car, on the narrow, winding roads of the middle of nowhere. Stick of course, because back then no-one...
Good review - thanks for taking the time.
I owned an S, a 3 and a Y. I now own an R1S. If Rivian could fix just a few things they would have a truly fantastic vehicle. Straight tracking, wheel vibration, ride quality, speed of UI, HVAC system, parasitic draw when idle are my main issues. I love...
1. Donald needs to be banned from the forum - he does not provide any benefit to other members looking for help or feedback.
2. There must be some very wealthy people on this forum. Im a multi millionaire (thanks wife) and i'm not accepting a $100k vehicle that has multiple failure points within...
I can see from this post why many otherwise smart and educated people became MAGA nuts. The lack of basic math and economics skills, and the willingness to just throw out logic, is truly flabbergasting. It’s also scary because you’re just going to ride the horse over the cliff and take the rest...
That’s an interesting in-depth analysis of Trumps tariffs strategy. Can you explain what Chinas 34% reciprocal tariffs and lock downs on exports of key minerals are with respect to “deals” and how they will alleviate tariffs? Same explanation please for the reciprocal tariffs coming from Europe...
I think this thread has run its course and the original poster should close the thread or the admins should. There are people on the Rivian forum who obviously have no fundamental understanding of economics, despite being otherwise well educated. And thats fine - but arguing/debating with those...
You don’t understand tariffs then. Or the effect of reciprocal tariffs. Or trade imbalance. Reciprocal tariffs will reduce our exports to those countries, worsening the trade imbalance. Sigh!
Name one thing that we can produce more competitively (read cheaper) that we dont already produce. I can’t think of anything. The world trade market is very efficient and all those things are already produced here.
It’s flabbergasting to me how even the left leaning tv channels are really not...
You misunderstand the economics of manufacturing.
1. other countries can produce most of what we consume in America at much lower cost, and therefore prices, than America can.
2. you can drive manufacturing of all goods back to the US and your economy will stagnate. Parts and products will...
Stelantis just announced layoffs of 900 workers in US factories. Because the cars they produce in Canada use parts made in those US factories. And they won’t be selling those cars anymore in the US.
As I said previously, the people in charge of workers unions here are utter morons who have no...
Agree - it’s actually a great car. My new Rivian for $100k is a relative piece of shit that I am rapidly losing patience with. In 4 years of Y ($60k) and 3 ($40k) ownership I had virtually zero problems, and when I did service was fast and efficient. My Rivian’s AC blew a leak within 10 minutes...
