"On ONE LEG of a 2250-mile journey" (capitalized emphasis mine)... NOT the Entire 2250...the idea being the 17 hours was relatively easy due to the ride quality, seat comfort and UHF system.
Correct that the LIDAR won't help the driver much specifically, but is more about "feeding" their Large Driving Model; the database of all available info for all drivers of all roads.
I like the idea of waiting for the RAP1 as it's a quantum leap ahead, AND it's in-house Rivian products, AND...
I've just installed a NEMA 14-50 and plugged the portable charger (incl with R1, apparently not with R2) in. Any reason that shouldn't work?
Note: It has worked just fine for 3.5 years...
As for using a charger app: I've just used the on-board app for the R1 to start/stop, and set up charging...
Thanks for the link: A Rivian job was actually a consideration for a post-retirement gig (3 months and 2 days...not that I'm counting). That would be pretty good timing, dontchya think?
Absolutely; I've always wanted a 4Runner, and the R2 perfectly fits the bill; my '22 R1T doesn't have the bed length for my bikes, R2 does. It's tough to cart timpani in the truck (unless I turn 1-2 of them upside down, and that's not good); R1's have a big ass, and I want something a bit...
I'd love to pick up the Launch/Premium edition (If I have the option from my place in line). I'm wondering if - since the first roll outs won't have LIDAR/Rivian Processor - the later version WITH those two will still have the "Launch edition" specs?
As for driving in Traffic: On my way back from some fun accelerations on a "country highway" and some quick "up-to-speeds" onto uphill on ramps (woohoo!), we returned to traffic. While sitting, we got into a proselytizing conversation with someone next to us...
When we fly in General Aviation (GA: small personal planes), we ALWAYS have to plan for fuel stops; (falling out of the sky is not an option), it's just part of the trip planning. Sometimes that involves calling ahead to make sure that those fuel pumps are operating and have gas. Sometimes it...
Like many, I've "got access to the R1T Shop". But in 4 days of looking-obsessively-sometimes 2 times/hour-sometimes at midnight...I've yet to see anything there. "We're all out for now..." Does that mean there's nothing in my Seattle area?
I will reach out to a Guide and Report...stand by...
I thought the same, that Blue with FE interior wouldn't work, then I saw it IRL in typical Washington semi-overcast light. It works, as the FE is more grey with the green panels acting more like "accent" colors. Of course the natural walnut stain is great, and it seems that wood is better...
Great to see What-I-Was-Originally-Speccing-But-Throught-It'd-Be-Too-Much-Green actually looks good! Maybe I'll go back to FG with FE. Anyone done RB with FE?
Going to do similar with the "pig nose" and put black PPF on a lot of the blue (or whichever color I finally land on). Maybe similar black on the lower "step rails" as well. Like the idea! Nice to see that it "works".
