Only when she is with you, I assume? That happens to me also. I sometimes open the door for my wife, and that almost always causes her profile to be selected. The most annoying thing about it is the seat position. I set it up so it moves the seat back for "easy entry", and I just switch the...

Your conclusion is incorrect. There are many other differences in those tires besides weight. You didn't capture any data related to rolling resistance. Why not? Because it is practically impossible unless you do very controlled comparison tests between tires. And the data gathering method you...

I do my around town driving in Sport mode. It makes a huge difference regarding responsiveness. Efficiency isn't great, but who cares when driving around town? That said, I bet R2 Sport mode will feel more sporty than R1 Sport mode. Inquiring minds want to know!

What is getting messed up when you switch profiles?

FYI - weight has almost no impact on efficiency. It does matter, but rolling resistance and aerodynamics matter more. A lot more. Are your efficiency numbers from a lot of highway driving? If so, I suspect the rims are the culprit. They are likely not as aerodynamic as your 21s were, and that...

But they didn't provide brothel services. So all is good,

Yeah, but if you go that way, 3.75 hours is almost the perfect time to stop. On my trip north, it was a little over four hours to get to the Delaware RAN. I arrived with around 30% SoC. The charger ramped up to over 200kW while I was drinking beer and eating lunch. I love my truck. And the RAN.

Personally, I think if the R2 can generate cash, it is extremely positive. If it generates 20% margin, which I heard someone say on one of the R2 videos released today, I am very optimistic. Yes, they need to sell a crap load, but the road to profitability is viable.

@VandalSibs is an AI bot? Say it isn't so!

I prioritize reliability over everything else because I have had so, so many bad public charging experiences (mostly EA, of course). When I plan a trip, I start with ABRP and only three charging networks: RAN, IONNA and Tesla. Actually I prefer RAN over all of them, but my one IONNA experience...

I was corrected - Gen1 behavior is different from Gen2.

Great points. I agree the future is electric. And it is getting better. We are just not at ICEV - BEV parity yet.

It's pretty clear you are wrong about the cause of the temporary reset. I described the actual cause. Also, the information coming out of China is highly suspect, and riddled with propaganda. They are definitely a competitive threat, but it is incorrect we have ceded anything to them at this...

I would hold out if I were in your position. You are not in a hurry. You can wait. And while I don't think 2027 is going to bring any significant changes, you might be right about the steering wheel. And there might be some other nice improvements to take advantage of. So if you can wait...

This part of your post is completely false. Vehicle demand is largely price inelastic. This means a small subsidy (and $7K is small) is not enough to significantly change consumer behavior. What is happening is a result of people deciding they are not ready for an electric vehicle. The early...

I just finished a weekend trip that included 6 hours of non-stop driving one way, and 6 hours back home. I really enjoyed the drive. The truck is so comfortable. It is probably the most comfortable travel vehicle I have ever owned. The seating position is high (providing great visibility), and...

Those pesky AI liars. I trust actual human beings who have driven an R1 and towed things with it. One day there will be no more AI. Just imagine, if you can. 🤣

So if I pass over the bridge at 80 mph the risk is reduced, right? 😂

The sign in the picture indicates the bridge has a 3-ton weight limit. You didn't see that?

Rivian adaptive cruise does not have automatic following distance. I am not sure what that even means. You change following distance by changing the drive mode setting to Mild, Medium or Spicy. There is no other way to change the following distance. Those settings also impact how the truck...
