    Summarized: R2 / R3 / R3X specs & info from MKBHD & Scaringe hands-on interview

    What an exciting day, I actually don't know what thread to put this in, or if I should start a new one, but apparently there's a charger/hand warmer on the passenger side! I haven't seen anyone else talk about that small detail.

    Are Cloud Dashcams Worth It In 2024? - The Hook Up (ft. R1S)

    No affiliation, I just like this channel's content and thorough reviews. To my surprise, he has a Rivian R1S now! TL;DW (but you should watch!) - Get the Blackvue DR970X-2CH LTE if you have a need for a cloud connected dashcam and have lots of money. Alternatively use a regular dashcam with a...

    Rivian Presents: The original Rivian road trip (Long Way Up)

    That was a fun watch. I haven't seen "Long Way Up" yet (no Apple TV). To hear RJ give the greenlight to this project with barely anything but an idea and all the adventures the crew went through was very cool. Definitely wouldn't want a knee car horn though!

    Rivian Tax Credit Email

    I was in an uncommon situation where I took delivery the first week of April 2023, but I filed all my taxes immediately after that and was able receive full $7500 without amending. I'm not going to sign. Seems like this process just looked at all deliveries in 2023 without considering if anyone...

    Rivian R1S Full Sized Spare Tire Patent w/ waste can, a food cooler, or a first aid kit

    Wouldn't this block the rear camera? Not sure if I would trade a full spare and trash bin and missing the rear view camera.

    Good sharing! I definitely admire RJ's positive attitude and optimism even with all the challenges that comes his way.

    Driver+ availability expansion?

    I still get notified to take control at drive-thru tolls (no arms), even though that was supposedly addressed in a previous update. It's a minor inconvenience, but I enjoy Driver+ on the freeways I use.

    Rivian body materials & construction cutaway (material type, welding, heat/cold straightening) @ SEMA

    I wonder what color other people would choose as the body color if they had the choice. I'd like to see a "Pressed-Hardened Steel Purple" R1S rolling!

    Update: Rivian adding Gauge View feature to Dual Motor Rivians (per VP of Software)

    You should make a separate thread just for this type of content. There's definitely some interesting details mentioned. I like how Wassym mentioned the R1 hardware has headroom to grow into the future.

    Rivian vehicle sounds -- deep dive in this week's Twenty Thousand Hertz podcast

    I like content such as this. Didn't know the some of the beeps were based on owls!

    OTA Update 2023.38.0 - Early Look! Drive Mode & Towing Experience Changes

    From the blog post, what is the plug icon for? I suppose I could just be patient and wait for my update to apply, but I didn't even see it in Rivian Dad's video. Also, @Pixelshot your daughter's method getting out of the R1S was funny lol.

    GQ Article-Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe on Ignoring Musk and Learning from Bezos

    Agreed, while there some interesting points about starting a business and some world views, there was way too much comparison with Tesla and Elon Musk. Those two 8th graders from The Next Generation Podcast were great! Their podcast definitely was more entertaining and informative than GQ. We...

    New Product: XL by JackPucks.com - High Lift Magnetic Jack Puck

    Keep up the hustle! You're doing all Rivian owners a favor where Rivian itself has fell a bit short. I just received my set of four yellow Jackpucks on Friday (thanks for the fast shipping , by the way) so I probably won't need the XL...but I sure do want one!

    PSA: Discount Tire / America’s Tire will sell Road Hazard warranty and lifetime Road Force Balancing with free rotation if you have < 2,000 miles

    This is a very good PSA that deserves more attention. For some reason I didn't comment before... Anyway, turns out I just got a pretty nasty screw right on the edge on one of my 20" All-Terrain Pirelli tires. No way it could be patched, the tire had the be replaced. Fortunately, I saw this PSA...

    List of compatible tires (for each Rivian factory wheel diameter)

    Thanks, very nice job putting this together. Any chances of adding UTQG treadwear rating?

    Inside Rivian: A Conversation with CEO RJ Scaringe - Interview by The Next Generation Podcast

    I thought this was a refreshing interview, different from the typical business-centric media. Some pretty deep questions were asked, and it seemed to make RJ really dig deep. There was also some fun trivia too. Also, Blake and Will (the two 8th graders interviewing RJ) did a fantastic job! I...

    Costco Connect insurance, are you willing to risk it?

    Update on my hunt. Looks like Costo Connect Insurance ended up being almost $200 more expensive than Nationwide. Guess that doesn't work for my circumstances.

    Costco Connect insurance, are you willing to risk it?

    Just saw this after posting in the Rivian Insurance hike thread. Never used Costco before, maybe I'll check them out. Seems like most people are having better luck to get a reduced rate with similar coverage.

    Well that sucks! Rivian insurance doubles in 1 year

    Joining in with the insurance hits. My 6 month rate got raised almost 40% ($1050 -> $1457). Looks like Driver+ didn't really do anything.
