  1. First drive home: new R1S (aka “mini trip report”)

    Surprised that with max pack, you couldn’t do 200+ miles, even though it’s cold weather. Looks quit a let down from advertised 400+ miles ? How’s the self driving in the Rivian ?
  2. NYT: Tesla chief executive’s polarizing statements have alienated some potential customers

    I am new to this forum, but the obsession ( 100%negative way) here with Musk and Tesla is hilarious :CWL: I have been on TMC for over 6 years and rarely ever there’s any mention of other makes!
  3. Battery Critical Error and Electric Hazard Error. HVAC blowing hot air into cabin

    It’s troubling that so many (relatively speaking) have same or similar issues ! Hope Gen2 is rectified of the HVAC gremlins
  4. State of Charge Tommy - Gen 2 R1 Review: Rivian Makes Huge Improvements In Its 2nd Gen R1 Vehicles

    I wish they relocated or better still added J3400 port when they were redesigning the electrical harness anyway, missed opportunity in my opinion.
  5. Damaged Upon Delivery?!

    I normally don’t respond to this stuff, but……. That’s what a forum is for sharing info, not just for fanboys. No, this never happened to me in 20+ autos I bought and it’s not excusable. Rivian should have done better QA before delivery.
  6. What are the thoughts on the new 2025 base prices?

    That sounds about right and they should have made 7 seats optional and even air suspension an option to save even more.
  7. What are the thoughts on the new 2025 base prices?

    You’re right, plus points for Rivian IF you need a 7 seater. But the X has “premium “ sound system that’s not available on the large pack, even as an option.
  8. What are the thoughts on the new 2025 base prices?

    Agree, doesn’t make sense. Compared to model X, $78K with full discount vs $83K for the large pack with no discount is a huge swing !
  9. Battery Pack Sizes: How did the efficiency between the Gen 1 and Gen 2 change so much?

    I am in the market for the same and skeptical about the range protection of large pack. If they were able to magically squeeze our 3+ miles/kWh on the large pack, how come the max pack is still at 141 kWH, they didn’t make it smaller say 135kWH ? Afraid of Tesla “miles”. - vapourware.
  10. Cybertruck Laugh of the Day [⚠️ WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS BANNED]

    It’s amazing what people do for clicks and 10 seconds of fame!
  11. Range vs Battery?

    How come the Large pack can go 330 miles on a 109kW but the Max needs 140kW pack to go 410 miles?
  12. Official: 2025 R1T & R1S Refresh / Facelift (2nd Gen) Specs and Photos! Quad Motor gets 1,025 HP and 0-60 in 2.5 Seconds!!!

    Looks like the seats have a new pattern of stitches and hope they added better side bolsters, compared to the old seats.
  13. Problems with New Car

    I am waiting for the refresh news and following the forum posts. Not too thrilled to read the myriad problems reported with new deliveries! Hope they clear with the refresh
  14. EV use can be more expensive than gas

    I didn’t read all the replies, but the government should regulate extreme gouging. The wholesale commercial cost is like 1 cent /kW or less and even with capital expenses, 40/50 times the base price is a lot.
  15. Houston TX to Vancouver BC, Canada by the numbers. 6-day trip, 2446 miles, 17 charging stops

    Thanks for the detailed post, glad you had an uneventful experience. The 2+ hours of charging time / day seems like a lot and also the total cost of charging. Just for comparison, ICE with 22/mpg@$5.50 would come to around $625 and guess one stop per day at lunch or a break of less than 15...
  16. Max vs. Standard+ | Seeking Knowledge

    This is speculation on my part, but it makes more sense (less of wasted battery) if standard / standard+ are one and large/max are one battery types rather than what was stated in other treads and apparent EPA filing.
  17. Window Tinting % Level Preferences

    I was under the impression that the front windshield cannot or shouldn’t be tinted ? Or it’s only in California?
  18. Rivian NACS Adapters begin arriving!

    I was disappointed to see the stubby adapter-hoping for a 3 foot cord type, would have solved the Tesla supercharger cord problem.
