I don't think many people are a fan of embedded videos just for clicks, especially without more context in the post. Personally I wish this forum, and all forums, would ban the practice. If someone can't take some time to even summarize it a little bit, why would I waste my time watching it? Hate to be harsh but that is where I am now on this approach to a post.

Yeah, you’re right. I should not have posted the embedded link. It’s just another person’s view, the video says it all. The beauty of forums is you can skip what you don’t care to read or watch

I watched it this morning. Never watched this dude's channel before but he made decent points which WE ALL KNOW BY EFFING NOW ANYWAYS.

My truck is currently pissing me off again with the ultrasonic sensors again after the battery swap. And the guy in the video was making the point that the model X doesn't even have them.

Can't wait for the SC to resolve this issue.

I just had a couple of front ultrasonic sensors replaced. Not sure why they are so sensitive, it is annoying.

These sensors are critical to all the driver assistance stuff. And these error messages can't be suppressed as far as I know. But geeze they just fixed them last October and were fine until they replaced the low voltage batteries and boom...the errors are back :(

I hope you can get this fixed soon and not have to wait weeks!

I just wish someone would compare the Rivian R1S to a Specialized S-Works Turbo Kenevo SL or Mondraker Crafty Carbon RR SL :movember:

Thanks bud :) Its so erratic. Some drives, its totally smooth sailing, other ones, the errors are super distracting on the dash.

We just did a small vacation to Boston and thankfully, cruise control and all that were working well. I need to call Rivian today because the Shelton SC still isn't directly accessible via the app. They want me to go to NY LOL....hell no :oops:

The Count says raw dropping videos is the root of all evil.

that said, as is well known, he also considers the model X one of the top 15 washing machines in the solar system.
