"They" don't use it to calculate range. The EPA uses it to estimate energy efficiency.
Look at the screenshot from Rivian's website and the energy used in the EPA tests. They're both 141kw.
EPA efficiency includes charging losses is part of it.
You can look at their submitted documents to the EPA, the data is there if you really want to know the answer.
Is where you live cold? Are you flooring it? I'm guessing you have a dual motor variant? Any signs of alignment issues?

Parsing words a bit here, but he did say worst he's reviewed, not driven (at least per the title).
Basically it's worse than high end cars, the Hyundai e-gmp cars, and the bolt.
We'll see. I'd argue that we don't know enough from the video to make a very well informed decision either way. Either way, they're making progress, which is a great thing.
Hi there! Professional geotechnical engineer here. stone columns are a ground impovement method used to improve *some* site's conditions. Earthwork can also be used to improve site work. For example, overexcavation and replacement can be an alternative method of improving the site. And...
The trucks seem to have a tendency to slide laterally, regardless of tires. They also have a lot of mass, so there is more inertia for the tires to handle. Just get a winter tire. There's a link below showing the performance of the Pirelli against other ATs, and all-season, and a good winter...
Stone columns are basically an alternative to excavation for site work. I wouldn't say this puts them ahead of behind way WRT "foundations"
Yep. You could argue the that the Georgia site is too. They're having to move a lot of dirt. We'll see what the end up needing to do for the foundations...
These are NCA packs per Rivian.
I'm very curious to see voltages and vehicle weight of these standard/standard+ packs in the wild since I'm sure we won't get a tear down anytime soon.
As others mentioned, it's expected behavior. You can unlock the vehicle when in very close proximity with your key. The logic rivian made is if you are very close to the vehicle, and pushing a button asking to to unlock, then it's intentional. It does often take several clicks of the closure to...
