This can be a good move forward - they do collect a lot of telemetrics, so they can and should predict some issues w/o you even contacting SC to open a ticket for you.

These are fixed numbers and do not change according to your driving style. I think what DayTripping is saying is that he can actually drive many more miles in the real world if he drives 45mph. and this is correct.

100% agree. I guess the next real challenge for industry - how we can make batteries charge faster and in more consistent way. If I could get ~100kW in 15 minutes, this would be good enough. Yesterday, I charged from 5% to 74%. It took 38 min. The battery got to 46C. But the AC was not engaged...

I mentioned R1T QM, so gen 1. Speed is not only about getting faster but also flow with the traffic. 75 is almost a minimum posted limit on TX highways. Unfortunately speed affects mostly EVs and not ICE (1 mpg difference on my X5 between 70 and 85 mph).

Same 20" GY tires, on conserve at 75 give me 2.0. 7C outside temperature. No idea how you get these numbers. But happy for you. Yesterday on my R1T QM, Large, charged to 100% (316 miles on display) I drove from Austin to Houston. 187 miles. Got there with 15% left (45 miles). Heat on. 75-85...

0.04c at home is great - compared to the average 13c nationwide. Or to CA 0.50c with PG&E. Everyone has a different rate. EV makes sense in some cases, and no sense in others. And this is fine. I went to AR from TX and took my X5 45e. 85mph averaged 26 MPG. It would be a bit more expensive to do...

Mine is X5 45e, not a small car. Also, electric motors become much less efficient with high RPM's, while mX5 has 8-speed transmission. BTW, I think the Porshe EV actually has 2 gears, which is why it has better efficiency on the highway. Not sure how Lucid does this.

I guess this is due the fact that ICE cars are low efficient car by definition. So the impact is much lower. It is obviously there but I do not feel it. Maybe 1mpg.

:) You are 100% right, that is why BMW, which uses the same Mobileye technology, allows you to make a small correction and get to the left side of the line w/o disengaging the system.

Agree with all but the Driver+ - line centering is very helpful on long trips (if it works). I do not care about FSD, but simple line centering on all roads should be a must have.

Agree - 200 in worst case, 250 in normal weather. R1T Quad Large pack.

ICE has much less impact from high speed - much less than EV. For my X5 it does not really matters, 70mph or 85 mph. same 25-26 mpg efficiency.

Actually it gives hope :) Based on my internal conversation with the Rivian team, about 60% of cars needed SC. I do not have a break down of what issues (minor vs major) I also do not know statistics about other brands. My X5 needed 2 SC visits in 4 years. BTW, I am not concerned about this, I...

Well, I know many folks with Rivian. None of them were trouble free. Each one of them visited SC at least once (I had 5 visits). All of them love their trucks. But reality - it is a bit unbaked product and need SC .

I looked at your video - seems as mine. I will try to make a video and publish here. When I put my hand on a steering wheel vibrations are gone (I do not put a lot of force - just weight of my hand). Look, the truck is nice but has many flaws (here I will probably trigger Rivian fans). Half...

Just updated my post with some more details. I do not think it is a balance (unless you really have a significant balance issue). I think it is a design flaw (as many others). I just got used to it....

I have the same problem - I bet most of us have it. it seems they pass too much feedback from the wheels. Did they replace your steering wheel rack with a heavy one? BTW, I changed my wheels and tires (had 21" moved to 20"). Same shaking, so it is not balance. One thing to add - on some, very...

Agree, but Tesla SC's performance is very predictable and repeatable. I never had any issues with unpredictability or strange charging curves with Rivian and tesla SC. I can wish for a better charging curve, but as it is now, it is very repeatable.

I do not see a lot of real innovation after the initial launch of Gen 1. Neither with better ADAS (at least for now), nor battery technology & charging. Performance - yes, it has 800+ HP. It was the first truck to have 4 motors. But after a few years, there was very little innovation IMHO...
