  1. Rivian laid off about 20 members of its battery cell development team

    You'll know there's trouble when they lay off the Halloween Mode team
  2. Rivian laid off about 20 members of its battery cell development team

    Lots of hopes and dreams being hung on 2 sentences from an earnings call. I hope you're right, but be prepared to be disappointed on the 800v issue.
  3. Rivian laid off about 20 members of its battery cell development team

    They are focusing on cost savings and simplification with their new battery packs. A higher-voltage pack and all that entails is not consistent with that goal. It's not like they can connect a few existing modules in series and call it a day--it would require substantial hardware changes that...
  4. Rivian laid off about 20 members of its battery cell development team

    Yeah, but the 800V speculation is over the top.
  5. Rivian laid off about 20 members of its battery cell development team

    That's a big leap from an already massively speculative rumor.
  6. Tesla shares 48V architecture with other automakers to move the industry

    Farley knows that the first rule for dealing with a narcissist is to avoid direct confrontation.
  7. 2023.46 Lane Change Characteristics

    Is there any difference in how touchy it is when you nudge over within your lane and how strongly it holds you in the lane when you don't signal? I'm thinking of one instance where I was on a rightwards curve next to a semi that drifted towards me. I nudged the truck over and Driver+...
  8. U2 band in R1S motorcade leaving the Sphere in Vegas

    Agree, unless it's a Canyon (RED) edition.
  9. Please Tesla, Rivian give us the conventional door handle

    My I-Pace has retractable handles with a physical button on all 4 doors that can be used to lock/unlock the vehicle. Best of both worlds (aero+easy access), IMO.
  10. 'Internal rumors' from my mobile service tech (800V, LFP, new quad motor variant & more!)

    I'm guessing the internal rumors came from the Rivian subreddit.
  11. Rivian needs to push V2H update

    Or a $500 manual transfer switch and an inlet plug that can be used with the 30 amp plug in the F150's bed.
  12. Rivian needs to push V2H update

    It's not worth Rivian's effort at this point in time. I'm not aware of any third party systems that are certified for the V2L standard and available for purchase, so Rivian would have to produce their own equipment in order for it to make sense for them to enable this feature. The F150L has...
  13. My R1T shut down on highway

    Whenever something unexplainable happens in an EV assume it's the 12V battery until proven otherwise.
  14. De Walt chargers?

    I would only buy one if I owned a compass yellow R1. Otherwise this is the typical overpriced white label product that Dewalt sells outside of their core products.
  15. New Battery Pack Design (not Standard Pack) & Architecture Coming in 2024 confirms Rivian CFO

    The speculation is getting a bit crazy. I would bet the changes that the CFO mentioned equate to fewer miles of wire, less complex battery pack assembly and fewer silicon chips and that these changes will have little, if any, impact on charging speed, battery capacity or powertrain efficiency...
  16. New Battery Pack Design (not Standard Pack) & Architecture Coming in 2024 confirms Rivian CFO

    Ford shut down the Lightning line for 6 weeks for retooling and expansion of the line this summer so it's not that extraordinary in the industry.
  17. SiriusXM to Launch in Rivian Vehicles in 2024

    They're also shipping new trucks with Prodigy CDs and preinstalled AOL instant messenger.
  18. SiriusXM to Launch in Rivian Vehicles in 2024

    Don't get too excited. The press release says it will be available to new and existing R1's. I suspect this just means that there will be an xm app that uses the rivian data plan like spotify does, not an ability to use SXM satellites. I have doubts that the satellite hardware is already...
