A Facebook group today had a picture of a transport pulling into the San Fran service center with 3 R1Ss on it. Don’t know if they are for employees or customers, but I was excited to see more than one of them at one time. Edit: Just spent 5 mins scrolling Facebook looking for the post to...

Sorry so many of you early adopters are having trouble with what should be a simple process. curious if any of you have tried to email the CEO office about these challenges. And a speculative side comment….I suspect the RegUSA is trying to hold onto the sales tax money as long as possible and...

You are looking at it wrong. Yes, there is a chunk of the market that does not want CarPlay/Android Auto at all. And Tesla has established themselves as a gorilla in that chunk of the market. Plus this will be a very small slice of the market because you can just not use it. There is another...

So they’d rather forfeit future revenue streams to rival car manufacturers? That’s an interesting choice.

Nicely done and thanks for sharing. I hope whichever Rivian employees monitor this forum take notes.

I agree, Waze should be the only navigation app in the system. I’m not going to explain why it has won the market if serious navigation users, I’m simply going to state that it has already won the market because it is the best. Rivian should not be selecting which music subscription service...

Even though I disagree with your approach (See my prior post), I’ll play. I want Waze, Apple Music, and Sirius XM. By the time we get everyone’s list, CarPlay will have become an obvious easier approach.

Building on this…I have a newish LG tv (2019?) that has an App Store. It has most but not quite all of the streaming apps. And I have it connected to a Firestick where I run those same apps. Why? Because the exact same Disney+ app (or any other streaming app) works better on the...

Also, real quick for the “Amazon invested in Rivian” people — My Alexa/Echo plays Apple Music. My Alexa/Firestick plays Apple TV+ And my iPhone has an Alexa implementation on it (that I use more often than it’s Siri implementation). Amazon and Apple work together just fine.

This is how I interpret it. SOME ‘22 deliveries will slide to ‘23, not all. But to someone else’s point above, we are having to parse words. A better PR release would make that unnecessary. I continue to believe that the influencer Yosemite video from a couple of weeks ago means R1S...

Just want to reply to this with my experience at lunch today. Group lunch less than two miles from my office. Because it was a bigger group, I set a Waze departure notification to make sure I wasn’t late. The surprise started when my phone buzzed about 10 minutes earlier than I expected. And...

Doesn’t Apple let the hotel chains access the NFC for room keys? If they let Marriott do it, why would they deny Rivian?

Oh, the ****** system in my Cadillac is Mapbox? I wouldn’t wish that system on my worst enemy. I have 3 better navigation options on my phone. I use those instead. Those three are the market leaders. Everyone else has failed, defeated by those three. Edits and additions: Those three are...

Its not my condo that is missing. I am a Waze editor, I know how maps get fixed. And Waze has a map editing community that has more people in it than Rivian will make vehicles in their first several years. If the prior poster’s 5 year old condo is missing from OSM…that tells you a lot about...

If Rivian’s answer is “Thanks customer, here is the link to edit the map yourself”….they might as well go out of business now and return that cash to the shareholders. There are very good navigation solutions available to them that don’t require them to roll their own. People don’t buy $100k...

I will use this as another opportunity to comment that trying to compete with Google Maps, Waze, and Apple Maps is a fools errand. Apple should have shown that quite clearly with their launch of Apple Maps a few years ago, which was a horrid mess with all of Apple’s resources behind them. I...

I also think the SCs are playing a bigger role in this than we realize. These are first generation vehicles, they are going to have issues. We have one recall public thus far, and I expect there will be more in the next 12 months. (How many does Tesla typically have when they deploy a new...

Strongly suspect this is at least part of that backlog. My understanding, based on a recall on my current vehicle between when it finished assembly and was transferred to the dealer, is that the manufacturer cannot deliver a vehicle covered by a recall until it is remediated. My dealer told me...

Top speed might also be limited to help keep liability insurance costs reasonable. The weight is already going to be a big issue with liability.
