    Should I return to R1T......... and Trade in 2023 Tesla Model S to lease a new R1T

    Yes we do, and I do have a lot of gripe about this car. The UI definitely needs a ground up redesign when it comes to ergonomics and usability. Please do not get me started on those damn auto wipers ! But, I am also starting to buy into Tesla's craziness on a lot of these decisions. Hear me...

    Should I return to R1T......... and Trade in 2023 Tesla Model S to lease a new R1T

    I am in the same boat as you (though no where near ready to be retired), where I am deciding if I should offload my Model S (It has some qualities I am starting to like). But thanks to Musk, I have lost close to 30K in resale value in the first year I bought it when Tesla dropped the MSRP. So I...

    Rivian makes the Super Bowl in Popeyes commercial!

    What are the chances this is the R2 ? Those seats look quite a bit different (albeit could have been edited to remove Rivian 'likeness') And the wheel looks smaller and chonkier.

    Brand New R1S Owner, Question on Charging / Milage

    The first thing you should do as an EV owner is change the battery meter to 'SOC' from the 'miles left' or completely ignore the 'miles number'. Not a single EV maker has gotten the science of mileage estimation right (even Tesla with all their years of experience and neural and AI nonsense)...

    R1T conquers Moreeb Dune in UAE

    Didn’t someone post about importing an R1T to Dubai a while back, is that the same person ?

    Electric Cars Are Already Upending America

    "...and they are limited by janky public chargers that are too slow, assuming they work at all..." This single false/negative narrative/perception alone is holding EV adoption back and needs to change. Journalist both traditional and tech centric need to start getting better at reporting...

    Reinforced Underbody Shield removed from my pre order

    Yep, I got it as well as an original order holder (Pre-March price hike) and I am pretty pissed that Rivian sneaked a price increase like this for us. And in typical Rivian fashion they sent this bad news late at night yesterday, so they know they are screwing up their customers. When they...

    Scaringe: Autonomy revenues within a year + R2 unveiling likely in Q1 2024

    As some one who paid for Enhanced Autopilot I can say it's absolute garbage. I only paid for it so I can have Auto Lane changes, and all the others were bonuses. But after using it for a little over an year, I would say navigate on AP, Summon and Smart Summon are pretty much snake oil products...

    Rivian E-Bike is Coming. RJ Tells Staff Electric Bike in Development

    Jeez ! Seriously RJ needs to just focus on getting his production ramped up for the two existing products and putting that in the hand of his customers. For all the Tesla and Elon hate, Tesla is successful today because they focused on the manufacturing and ramp up of a single line of products...

    New policy: can no longer transfer your own vehicle in Rivian system to another individual without proof of new ownership (registration, title, name)

    Hey @astonius While I understand this is frustrating and not the most efficient way to transfer a vehicle ownership, and I am all for criticizing Rivians every move lately, what Rivian is doing here is the right way to transfer a vehicle. They are ensuring the person 'who claims' they are...

    Ford (et al) versus Rivian 2022 deliveries & production numbers: no small accomplishment

    Yeah you are right about Nio, and agree Lucid is a better comparison to Rivian, and they have struggled more than Rivian have. Actually, I consider Polestar as a standalone company, because until Geely bought them with Volvo and spun them off as a standalone EV manufacturer, but as far as I...

    Ford (et al) versus Rivian 2022 deliveries & production numbers: no small accomplishment

    It definitely looks impressive when you compare EV sales from legacy manufacturers to a startup like Rivian, but unlike Rivian none of those legacy manufacturers are dependent on exclusively producing EVs, and these legacy companies only get serious about EVs in 2022. If we are going to...

    Dual-Motor AWD System Specs: 600hp 0-60 MPH in 4.5 Seconds /// 700hp 0-60 MPH in 3.5 Seconds!

    Or they cancel the quad and make the enhanced dual motor the upgrade. And then release an R1S performance with quad motors.

    🇨🇦 [Update Sep 29 - Rivian Receives Clearance Certification to Import R1T / R1S!] Rivian failed to meet Transport Canada requirements to import

    Looks like the TC Approval rejection wasn't really a rejection, at least based on Rivian, Hi *****, We were all taken back here when we saw that article go out. Please allow me to provide a little bit of context and good news. The R1T/R1S/Rivian Commercial Van (RCV) was under review from...

    They hit me in my driveway resulting in $21,195.95 repair bill

    @metalic5 Oh Damn. Hopefully, all involved are safe and your insurance comes through, bud. :) When I hear people like Munroe go on about stamping single piece body panels, rivets vs bolts, reducing parts by introducing complex single part components in the name reducing manufacturing costs...

    First R1S in Cars and Bids Auction Site!!!

    First time I am seeing the break rotors and am I the only one who thinks those rotors look really small and under spec’d. I know regen breaking will handle most of the breaking, but in emergency situations those breaks might have a hard time stopping a 7000lb truck

    Malin Ekholm, VP of Volvo Cars Safety Centre is Joining Rivian

    It is not, and we do not have any knowledge of Rivian's Safety either, outside of their flashy marketing materials on their website. The R1T has been out for about a year, and we still do not have official crash test ratings or it's driver safety system ratings, tested by IIHS. And...

    Looks like Rivian is going to put a bit more effort into making safer cars, https://www.linkedin.com/posts/malin-ekholm-2aa6334b_i-am-happy-and-thrilled-to-share-that-during-activity-6967513421277720577-nlZq?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop
