That's how Tesla works - assume this will be similar. I would also assume it can be done through an Echo in your house, if you have it. There was a third party app developer that created an Alexa-enabled Tesla skill that was pretty cool. "Alexa - warm up my car" or "Alexa - how much range does...
Not sure who noticed, but the "My Configuration" page in my Rivian account appears slightly different today. Gone are the smaller thumbnail collage of images of the interior and exterior and they've been replaced with much larger pictures that can be viewed in full screen. It also looks like...
Another option is a camera that facilitates the 360 view. On my old Infiniti FX35, which was the first time I'd ever seen the 360 view, that's where the side cameras were located.
I haven't seen this question posed anywhere, so throwing it out here (seeing the LA Silver color in another thread got me thinking). What are people's thoughts on Limestone being similar to what Porsche calls "chalk"? My in-laws have a Panamera in this color and I love it.
I'm currently...
I just sold my car to Vroom, and it was shockingly easy. You fill out the description of the car online and you get a quote from them via email (it took about 15-20 minutes to receive). If you accept it, then they send some documents via Docusign for you to agree to the transaction. Within...
The frequency of needing a spare will obviously vary wildly I’m sure (in 26 years of driving, I’ve had one flat tire).
But I really think Roadside Assistance comes into play here also for those going with no spares. The one incident I had was a blowout because of road debris between Atlanta and...
The model year discussion is interesting. I’ve thought of Rivians in similar terms to how I thought about my Tesla MS. It was never a 2016 to me, but it was a pre-face lift 90D with AP1. The specific manufacturing date was discussed a lot as Tesla worked through quality issues over time, but I...
Big Papi. Why? Because outside of my family (feels like I have to say that, just in case someone else reads this :)), few things have brought me as much pure joy as this dude did. I assume this truck will do the same.
Not to hijack, but I’m trying to figure out what this means for folks in states that restrict the D2C model. I’m in GA and we’re dealing with the same restrictions. Do I need to go to a neighboring state to pickup my vehicle? Or does it mean Rivian can’t operate stores in the state, but they can...
Another thought/question is whether they’ll be offering any sort of premium for trading in EVs. I vaguely recall Audi offering incentives if you trade in a Tesla for an e-tron when they first hit the market.
Also from @rivianfanclub on Instagram - here's a limestone one that I had not seen yet posted. Between this and the Rivian blue from above, hopefully we start to see more of the production colors in the wild!
Edit - just saw that this is from Long Way Up. Oops. Leaving here, though, just in...
anyone know the significance of these stickers? The R1T in the Long Way Up reunion video had a New York sticker on it. And I could have sworn I’ve seen one with a Tennessee sticker.
I understand the Amazon van is built for practical purposes and not for aesthetics - but yikes that thing is rough on the eyes. :) Maybe it's a photo perspective thing, but it also looks HUGE.
Coming from driving a Tesla also, I've always thought that the Super Charger Network is one of Tesla's biggest advantages over up-and-coming rivals (that and their technology, obviously). One of my only reservations on switching to a Rivian is the charging network (or lack thereof at the...
