Yeah, "miles of range" is not a physical thing. Car companies act like drivers don't need to understand range ourselves, but we do.

I would be interested to hear experiences. Based on the specs, a big downside of the Hummer around town would be that it's 7 inches wider. On road trips, less range and the huge battery. And it only comes in 2 rows, right?

They're talking about ride comfort related to the bumpiness of the suspension. Not anything damaging. In Standard the suspension has a bit more room to absorb bumps. After using Conserve-Lowest on the highways a bit and feeling huge bumps at boundaries like an overpass, we switched back to Low...

You can try putting it into the bag as you wind it up, instead of first coiling it and then stuffing it in. But I ended up using a different bag (and a different hose, too).

Strong agree. This has been discussed a bunch on the forums. As far as I know there is no reason there can't be A pillar grab handles, maybe someone will do an aftermarket install.

This is why I think Rivian is slow to roll out a data subscription. They get more value out of our data than they would make $$. If I can eliminate phantom drain and not have everything I do tracked and recorded, sounds like a win-win...

R2 has a long wheelbase for its size at 115”. Would be pretty surprised if it tows less than a 4Runner. Examples? Just curious.

Get the R1S. If your wife hates it, sell it. I bet she won’t. Two years is a long time to go without a Rivian.

Thanks OP for sharing this story and sorry it happened. I am hoping for R2 that Rivian can implement some kind of solution where you could tell the car to turn off and then it would turn off, until you tell it to turn on and then it would turn on. Possibly implemented with some sort of switch...

If the seat belt is unbuckled and the truck does not detect weight on the seat, it will try to stop and shift into park. (test in your driveway.) Not sure why it would have turned but with hard braking at 80mph it's not surprising. One of the dumbest and most frustrating features in my opinion...

Are you sure? It looks like that could possibly be a divider in the middle which might be removed to make space for a compact spare.

Ok, sounds like you are not interested in trying to make it work. For me in the R1S, yes it’s annoying to put a full size spare in the back and strap it down. And I’ve criticized rivian for this. But the frunk space more than makes up for the lost volume, I think I’m coming out ahead compared to...

If it's that important, can you can adjust? Roof rack. hitch mount. Lay it flat in the trunk and pack around it. This is what people with the R1S are doing. I know it's not ideal, but I'm not seeing dealbreaker.

The problem with the gas station pull-through setup is it's a really inefficient use of space compared to parking spots. Since people are charging for 5-10x as long as they are pumping gas, there need to be more charging stations. Parking spot charging will be common for a long time which means...

Even if functioning properly this is a dumb feature for an adventure vehicle. Very annoying in off road contexts. And especially dumb considering that unlike ICE the Rivian will bring itself to a stop anyway in the absence of pedal input.

Ha, no need to gatekeep the term adventure. For you, it sounds like the point of the car is to do stuff with a car all day. That's your hobby, cool. For some people the car is one of several tools they use to accomplish something else adventurous they love to do. Cool idea for a thread...

Yeah, I'm not in FL but a lot more heat comes in the windshield, and even the side windows, compared to the roof.

I think it's brilliant of Rivian to unveil a future product to come only after R2. They have twice the hype now, which can help them raise more money. But they still can focus all of that doubled hype and money on making the R2. Some people are hyped for the R2 itself, others want to see Rivian...

RJ emphasized how hard they worked to make the interior feel spacious, including lowering the floor all the way to the battery pack. Taller than a MY. The only hit to interior space compared to MY is more ground clearance. I am pretty sure this will all work out significantly in the R2's favor...
