To those who mentioned they are not AC seats. Got it, but it still doesn’t change the user experience that I’m explaining. I did try...

The demo unit I was in had similar issues with the ventilated seats. The fan was vibrating the back of the seat noticeably, and the fan... -

Same here, at 6'-1". I'll admit that I've been fooled by seats that I thought were comfy before, after being in them for two hours and...

Interesting. FWIW I’m 6’2” and found the seats very comfy.

AC felt weak in my test drive and it was about 78 degrees. The ventilated seats were great though...but loud. The roof was emanating...

This is where we disagree. Yes, they've clearly stated that they don't plan to support CP/AA, but that doesn't mean customers (and...

Why not just give the option to turn off OPD? After all it is just another minimal tweak in the software. I am a fan of Coasting. My...

Well - it's not. There could be a less-aggressive L1... there could be more aggressive L3. There could be five grades instead of 3...

On the Taycan, instead of just initiating regen when the accelerator pedal is lifted, they engage regen braking when the brake pedal is...

Strong agree. We can say Rivian isn’t going to offer coasting, without the ridicule and shaming. Rivian fanboys again proving that if...

not so, at least the way Porsche has implemented things, the brake pads are never touched unless it’s a panic braking situation...
