  1. Friend bought ModelY after keeping R1S for a day, and after learning about R2

    Funny, the rattles in my R1S and noisy suspension are the things I dislike most. Guess it’s a roll of the dice as to how good any individual vehicle will be.
  2. Front suspension dropping slowly while parked, normal?

    I’m hoping someone has a class action lawsuit over this. Not excited to pay $5800 to replace my front dampers after only 62000 miles. Problem was present prior to warranty expiration. SC did not care.
  3. Car owners revolting over Tesla's self driving promises

    I test drove a model y two weeks ago. Definitely not flaky. I felt way safer with it driving than my wife. Pretty sure my wife would say the same thing about me. It was flawless and I’ll definitely be trading my gen 1, R1S in as soon as it’s approved for unsupervised driving. The ability to not...
  4. Keep R1S or switch to R2, Financial vs. Tech Dilemma

    Lack of air suspension is a good thing. My front dampers just went at 62000 miles and it’s $5800 to replace. I do not drive off road at all. No good will warranty repair offered. I’d dump it if you’re getting close to the end of your warranty.
  5. Front suspension dropping slowly while parked, normal?

    Just had mine looked at. I’m at 62000 miles and jounce lines and front dampers need to be replaced. They will not cover under warranty. $5800 estimate. Very disappointed. I had brought it in 2 years ago complaining about suspension noise. They said it was due to using beefy jounces and was...
  6. Ford's EV Plans - Very Positive News

    It’s a news release designed for investors. There is no way they can deliver on what was promised. Instead of iterating on the Lightning to make it better and less expensive they just threw the towel in. That is not the strategy of someone serious about getting into the space.
  7. [ENDED] Comma 4 and PayPal Pay in 4 Offer Means $200 OFF !

    I have 23 R1S. I tried and failed on the install. There wasn’t enough space for my hands to fit behind the big wiring bundle to slide the new harness in. I’ve heard the R1T is easier. Would love to find someone to install this for me as the current ADAS is not very good.
  8. Replacement tires - Michelin Defender LTX MS2 vs. Bridgestone Prestige ?

    I have the defenders. In my anecdotal opinion they are quieter, ride better and have about the same range as the Pirelli's. About 10k miles on them so far. Got 41k out of the Pirelli's.
  9. Gen 2 Rivian Autonomy vs FSD/Openpilot/Hyundai HDA2

    The comma ai harness for Rivian is on back order, sadly.
  10. Eliminating the charge port halo light was a bad call

    Seems like they should have kept the light but gotten rid of the automatic charge port door.
  11. CT being used to haul stuff IRL

    Back when I had a construction job the company had an F-150. The bed was longer but we still needed to tie down to a rack for things being shown in this photo.
  12. Hands Free Highway Driving Upgrade For Gen 1

    Maybe he just doesn’t like highways 🤷
  13. Hands Free Highway Driving Upgrade For Gen 1

    I agree with you. When you disengage it does make the car veer in the direction you are pulling. I think decreasing the force required by half would be optimal.
  14. Another Windshield Q&A Thread...

    Given the cost of recalibration, wondering if would be cheaper to forgo that and just put on the comma ai system? Has anyone given that a try?
  15. Hands Free Highway Driving Upgrade For Gen 1

    It struggles in areas with shadows and poor lane markings. There is no respect for Jersey barriers, especially in construction zones. There’s a corner where a bridge is being rebuilt that crosses the American river that it consistently tries to slam me into the barriers. Corners in general seem...
  16. Hands Free Highway Driving Upgrade For Gen 1

    The system is just not safe enough to go hands free. It still tries to kill me at least 5x/ride in I80 between Sacramento and Truckee and a similar amount of times to S.F.
  17. Maps now include Stoplights?

    Been there a while on my G1. I do find them to be too small, though. Hope they increase the size to Apple Maps situation in future.
  18. Rivian R1S Driving w/Comma AI at Dusk - Lane Selection, Stop/Go Traffic and Maintaining Lanes

    This looks very enticing as a gen 1 owner. Does it keep the lane better on the highway than the OEM system?
  19. RJ quote: more sensors (including radar & lidar) is a way to catch up to Tesla's camera-only autonomous driving system

    Having a more complicated system is not the way to catch up. If they are smart they will just license the Tesla system.
