@hsctiger. I have a white and black Dalmatian so I kinda know what you ho through with your white GSD.
my aftermarket wish list so far:
Top glass cover &/or film
Solid phone mount
Protector for front bumper camera
Dog accessibility & accommodations
mats/covers complementing the factory...
So is Rivianās current park assist (R1ās and R2) is a 2015 VW tech equivalent. š
ā¦alas, our 2013 Ford Escape did automated parallel park the car.
ā¦when is Rivian expected to be able to automatically self-park?
BTW:
- I recently watched a Tesla FSD 14 video where the car could not get out of...
I laughed when I read the term āparking assistanceā b/c my 2015 eGolf uses that term for its beepers and lines that sound & display whenever you put it in reverse or move it out of park. Nothing automated other than sounds, turning on the back view camera (when putting it in reverse), and...
I am very new to software driven driving so please forgive my ignorance.
My 2015 Subaru Outback does have Eyesight (driver assistance), but that is separate from the infotainment system with its voice commands and is very limited in what āautonomyā it provides (lane drift warning, adjusting...
I watched that video last night on YouTube in part to introduce me to the R2ās off-road capability / limitations. And, in part to introduce me to more true off-roading.
I think there should be more comparisons between the R2 and midsize SUV competitor vehicles like the Jeeps, 4Runner...
How many of these hardware changes that people are wanting can be remedied (made or mitigated) by aftermarket vendors?
For example:
on another thread I saw someone post a grab handle for people in the back seats which latches to the headrest. Iād call that made although only a partial solution...
That was not the point of my post. I simply want the data and Iām wondering how it can be obtained.
Iām not going to get in a he-said-she-said with you.
this brings up a good questionā¦
where are all the software/OTA updates tracked for each of the auto manufacturers?
I am new to the OTA Update realm of cars. None of mine have had this feature.
When I owned a Miata, the main forum for that car had all the service bulletins and recalls...
Iāve been looking at these 2 as well.
When I priced a comparably equipped EX60, it was about $12K more than the R2 as I recall. Got me thinking that maybe this Rivian is the āMazdaā of this bunch.
ā¦Just a thot.
Shazam! I received my timeframe to order (invitation?) update this morning,
And yes, your selected preferences make a difference. Mine likely impacting my dates are the exterior and interior colors. Thatās nice customer service IMHO!!
As a senior over 67 who drives an Outback & an eGolf, I will agree that accessibility is important. I donāt typically use the grab handle getting in or out of any car unless the roof line is too low for my head as it is in the backseat of the Ford Fusion (2nd body) and the Kia EV6.
I do know...
I was (maybe still am) a hypermiler of the mid 1970s so Iām not a 1PD kind of person. My husband is not a fan of heavy/strong regen and I only use it occasionally.
as said, the R2 regen is fairly adjustable.
I wonāt be able to glide along in a R2 like do in my eGolf. It has Zero (we use for...
I understand that, for example, a Ford Mach-E charges at 80-150 kW below 80% and drops down to around 12-15 kW above 80%.
I guess I am wondering whether such stats for R2ās are known/released.
And, how such stats for the R2 compare to the same stats for the
- Tesla Model Y,
- Hyundai Ionic 5...
As I mentioned in my post after my demo a week+ ago, we are looking for a ācompelling proposition.ā
To that end, I am looking at the charge curves over 80%.
So far, I am seeing that they drop significantly for many other models.
- What is the drop down for the R2 above 80%?
- How does this for...
I personally miss the feel of manual transmission. Bought a manual in college and loved how I got to decide its RPM and hum, and the feel the transmission while shifting.
So, I used to switch between a fun manual and a practical automatic about every change in cars UNTIL I drove my 1st...
Iād love to learn how you got your dogs to use ramps. I tried the YouTube ways, but my Dals have never liked ramps. Theyād rather, when young enough, jump or climb in through a back passengerās seat/seat area. And, when old, rely on me to help lift āem a little.
