Obviously, *to each their own* but if you want a minivan, then buy an minivan. Different classes though, so no one should even think of comparing them. Also, anyone who asserts, "Nothing on earth has more occupant room than a good mini van" obviously has never driven a large 7-8 passenger...

Unfortunately, no longer made, but my Ford Excursion diesel was the GREATEST road trip SUV ever made w/ max passengers (8) + cargo capacity (147 cu. ft.)+ head/leg room + towing capacity (11k lbs) + range (800 mi). FWIW, neither my wife nor I would be caught dead driving a minivan. ;-)...

Anecdotal evidence, but a guy who works in my building who preordered his R1S 3 months AFTER I preordered mine, changed his build and was given immediate access to a Guide and the Shop in March (3 months BEFORE mine!) where he grabbed a *nearly* identical build to mine EXCEPT that it had 22"...

So, the ride difference between the R1T and R1S may also be highly dependent upon the difference in wheel base length which obviously isn't going to change. I just was asking about your previous truck experience since RJ at one point mentioned that 70% of new Rivian owners had never owned a...

Looks like I have the identical R1S build except for my Black Mountain + Dark Ash Wood interior. I picked mine up exactly 5 weeks ago today and have 3,300+ miles on it. It's funny how reviews can be very different depending upon individuals previous experiences, current lifestyle, and...

I guess it depends upon the work. I just had a service call to my driveway (76 miles from Gaithersburg SC) this week after request 2 weeks ago.

Without government legislation/regulation change, I seriously doubt the EV manufacturers would change their trend, since increasing revenue rather than expenses is their highest priority. FWIW, there's always the portable am radio option, and If they would put an outlet in the center console...

Most major AM radio stations either simulcast on FM as well. FWIW, the only AM station that I listen to on a regular basis that's not also available via FM is available on TuneIn Radio which is available via the Rivian enfotainment system.

Address?

And then there was Microsoft... How a Cloud Flaw Gave Chinese Spies a Key to Microsoft’s Kingdom

FWIW, I didn't see what Rivian would offer but I did try the local Audi dealer, CarMax, and Carvana and both the dealer and Carvana low-balled me below the Kelly Blue Book range (Carvana the lowest by far) while Carmax came in the middle of the range.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I though the Sirius/XM mobile app like the Spotify app and many others lets you cache as many songs/playlists as your microSD card (512g) can hold, no? Also, the Sirius/XM app has a LOT more channels available than any of the in-auto receivers that I've ever owned...

No assumptions. My comment was the result of apathetic comments made by several specific individuals here where as yours was based upon only my specific usage of sheeple while ignoring the other *worn out, passive aggressive insults* that prompted my response.

Yet extremist, tinfoil, nutbag, etc. you had no problem with. Speaks volumes.

Yes! I had MAJOR heartburn when at the 13th hour I find out there's no way to opt-out of the data collection consent clause of my R1S purchase agreement, but after waiting 27 months, they had me on the hook! SMH Don't worry though, my wife and daughter (both Apple fangals) gave me enough...

Fair enough. Below are some links to educate yourself. What we know about car hacking, the CIA and those WikiLeaks claims Black Hat USA 2015: The full story of how that Jeep was hacked CAR HACKING HANDS-ON Apple Is Tracking You Even When Its Own Privacy Settings Say It’s Not, New Research...

Again, the government isn't the only threat vector, and as far as *BigTech*, like they say, if you are not paying for the service, then YOU ARE THE SERVICE. However, #sheeple would rather choose the *blue pill*. ;-)

Yet you finished by saying, "But, by and large, it's beyond your control" which is not correct unless refuse to give up Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, et. al.

Obviously, VPN client running on all devices all the time among other countermeasures, and Steve may or may not be my first name, but considering that I work w/ at least 5 Steves, might as well be John. ;-) Let's just say that I've spent 30+ years of my professional software engineering career...

Well then let me bring you back to topic then. WHEN (not IF) Rivian or one of its affiliates gets hacked with your private data, they are not liable since they required YOU to sign over your consent via their purchase agreement.
