these things are not mutually exclusive. I’m quite confident that this job posting doesn’t mean they’re giving up on Driver+.

Who, exactly, is being defrauded? The customer, who paid zero anyway? Rivian, who probably pays this tech based on either a time card or maybe even salary? This is very likely a victim-less crime other than for internal tracking. The guy was probably just sloppy notating it given that it didn’t...

Yep, something like that could have been effective from an economics standpoint, so long as it was crafted in a way that it created the same incentives in the same way. However, I would argue that the optics, especially to much of the voting public that does not have a great understanding of...

Let’s talk economics for a minute. When buying cars, people have options. Many buyers will buy a gas car instead if an EV if the gas car is significantly cheaper. Companies will build and sell EVs if they can make a profit. The issue for manufacturers has historically been (especially for...

Maybe they will later on. Would love to someday have themed lock and unlock sounds, for example.

Anyone know if the audio that goes along with the color theme has any purpose/application other than when you are selecting themes?

The DT by me told me the same thing as OP on the same exact tires, also purchased on SimpleTire. I brought it to another tire shop, and no problem. But I wasn’t going to buy the certificates, anyway.

It’s fun having a conversation with people who think they have a crystal ball into other people’s heads. There’s no possible way you can know that. Maybe RJ takes a ton of pride in these vehicles and has opinions about how they should look and feel. Maybe he thinks Apple CarPlay and Android...

Just because it doesn’t fit into your set of priorities does not make the stated reasons untrue. It’s not a runaround at all. What RJ values in building the UI just isn’t the same as what you value. And that’s okay and totally normal. That does not mean he’s giving the runaround, or lying, or...

I second this. My R1T has Atomic Wheel 20s and I love them.

Adding CarPlay/AA at a fee a little down the road after adding a few more of the basic things (like text integration, some more music options, etc.) to the main UI first would kind of be a win for most everybody. It keeps most of the data with Rivian except for the most hardcore supporters, and...

I do appreciate you thinking outside the box on a possible pay-to-play option. While I think it would be worth exploring, I think that may just cause more outrage like it did with BMW when they tried that (from what I understand, I've never owned a BMW). It certainly would at least satisfy the...

When you reference politics and things like "person A trying to prevent improvement for group B behavior", we all know what the current hot topics are that fall within this category. And frankly, as a member (or a loved one) of a few of these group B's myself, it's a bit offensive to even...

oh wow- false binary straight into oppressed status. Creating the offering for group B DOES affect Group A. Pretending that it doesn’t is your false binary. If Rivian introduces CarPlay, then the UI becomes fragmented. I want voice-to-text capability just like everyone else. But I don’t want...

Vinfast is not really a fair comparison from a stock standpoint. 98% of shares of Vinfast are held by insiders, and only about $10M in shares trade daily. There just aren’t that many shares out there, and so there is a bit of a scarcity for those who are enthusiastic about it and want to buy or...

Nope, sorry. Just edited the title to clarify sold.

Bump. I’m willing to go lower if someone is willing to pick them all up local. $800 total for all five.

Mine have gotten quieter as well actually. The extra noise wasn’t a huge deal to begin with, but all the better now that it is mostly gone.

Hi all - I recently made the move to Atomic Wheels 20 inch wheels (highly recommend!), and as a result I have my used 21 inch wheels available for sale. I rotated all five twice (with the spare), so all tires are between 2/32 and 5/32 tread depth. I had these for just over 16k miles. The wheels...

I got mine on Amazon before Atomic Wheels started offering them from them website. Probably just easiest to order from Atomic Wheels here if you order their wheels at the same time. The Amazon ones aren't shipping until February from the looks of it right now. No programming needed. You just...
