Yes but If you hire one of the presidents kids (either party) to some made up C-suite postion and the probability of your company being "to big to fail" goes up exponentially. In all seriousness to @Ocean my vin 59XX R1T is amazing, best vehicle ever. I recently picked up a R1S and traded in my...

You have my empathy. As some have pointed out these are overall not super common but that's little consolation when they impact you. I always review these threads to see how they pan out in case it happens to me. Hopefully it's not fully dead. please keep us updated with the outcome. I do think...

Keep in mind for bricked vehicles that need to get moved out of tight spaces, like a garage or parking structure, they can jack up the truck enough to get low profile dolly under the tires then roll them to more accessible locations.

It's possible both are true since I have no direct evidence the service tech. was incorrect, however the fact that OTA updates were identified by Rivian as the culprit as causing some 12V deaths and they released later OTA updates to improve 12V failure rate this tells me it is not solely bad...

Disagree that it's obvious Rivian got a bad batch of batteries. It's more likely the batteries are to specifications and R1's are not properly maintaining the charge on them.

"Journalists" often give info that is equally as opinionated and have more misinformation than many reputable Youtubers. Out of Spec does not have a considerable reach for nothing. Agreed that Kyle isn't a journalist whether that is a positive or negative is debatable.

This is wrong on many levels. It looks as if Gear Gaurd Gary would have caught the license plate as the offender drove away no? If so I would take the evidence to the police and file a report. Should be very easy to Identify who the Prius is registered to and verify the Drivers license photo...

I've read through this thread and still confused on how this has anything to do with RJ or Elon, Rivian or Tesla? Are the level 2 chargers you used to increase your safety buffer not operated by some business? What difference does it make what brand of chargers you used to power your trip...

Who wants to help crowd source my upcoming line of EV specific nitrogen to inflate your EV specific tires? My pitch is that EV tires are a waste if not paired with my EV specific nitrogen. It will be offered as an optional subscription to replace the nitrogen every tire rotation for best results!

There is a very limited number of early preorder holders (mainly Canadians) that had Max pack preorders and waited and waited for this configuration and never had the chance to purchase one. This sucks for this limited group. Their are others who have changed their config's or declined the...

Exactly. I was pointing this out in my response to assumption that Rivians losses were much less than $30K per vehicle in Q4 2023.

Not my understanding. if Rivian was only loosing 30,000 per vehicle company wide their total yearly loss would be apx. 30,000 X 60,000= 1,800,000,000 that's 1.8 Billion per year. Rivian is loosing multiples of this. To be profitable Rivian needs to have a positive cost delta > 30K per vehicle on...

What about people who couldn't DCFC because the only options on their desired routes were Tesla SC. Your policy would really grind salt in that wound.

Agreed, I'm sure there are agreements in place for who gets what from whom and when I just don't have any idea what they are hence all the speculation. But almost certainly demand will outpace supply for these adapters for well over a year. Meaning some EV owners will have NACS capable EV, a...

You may well be close with the guess-timate of 10K-20K units a month however keep in mind that so far their appears to be a single approved manufacturer for all auto brands meaning Rivian is competing with Fords order of 200K units and soon GM is likely to place an order for another 250K units...

Hi @Marchin_MTB my name is TRandall. My PTC has only been broken since Jan. 2024. I babied my beloved PTC but alas brutal NE winter ice got the best of it. I have a service ticket as well however my impending dilemma is that PTC is stuck 3/4 shut and spare tire is trapped. 5-Tire rotation time...

@AllInev, Really... THAT was her take away from watching the reveal. Too funny. I made my wife watch too she was more amused by my excitement than the actual reveal. Oh well.

@ThatOneGuy all things being equal I'd rather a larger battery with resistive heat than smaller battery and heat pump. Much reduced things to go wrong with resistive heat and range would actually be greater when not using heat. If this was Rivians strategy, and I'd be surprised if it was, this...

Camp speaker is way buggy. Mine is useless unfortunately. I wish they would send an update to fix them.

@Bee, @Florida Panhandler, I really like What Rivian has put out without dilution or being sidetracked from to much outside influence. For this reason I hope the R2, R3/X, future EDV based campervan, etc. are left to Rivian core brain trust and they do not need to take funding from additional...
