And this is just an example why Rivian service needs improvement. Cost of Uber and the free roof rack is a loss to Rivian. The AC hose sissue would have come up in the complete check prior to the delivery. If they ran the AC, then they would have fixed the issue, not have to pay for your Uber...

It's really hard to have a better tires than PS series. Unfortunately there is none from external outlets. According to Michelin, PS S5 for Rivian is only available through Rivian. While other PS S5 sizes are available from TireRack and alike, 275/50/22 and 305/45/22 are Rivian only with...

The other thing is maybe it took a C-suite title to get the person to come over...

In another company, the CAO is often called the Comptroller. It is to raise the focus on accounting matters and not just overall finance. CAO/Comptroller deals with compliance to GAAP (generally accepted accounting practice) and FAS (federal accounting standards). While accounting is a part...

Nice. They didn't wash the vehicle for my 40 mins but that would explain the time difference for the same service. For my service, it was raining/sprinkling so it would have been a moot point to wash it....

Is the new firmware rolling out gen 2 owners first? Rivian is prioritizing the upgrade possibilities first?

I saw one on the freeway today and got off at the same exit so had a chance to take a good look. It's very beige. Reminded me of Navajo White interior paint but darker. Definitely not my cup of tea color.

Had an 8.00am appointment today for the hub knuckle check and torquing. The 12V battery change was done in January via mobile service and was told they could not do it as a mobile service (they didn't have the EDV, had R1T). Rivian followed up with making the appointment couple of weeks ago...

its really interesting to read both @DayTripping and @bmedfo1 chit-chatting about how quick and fast a 7k lbs R1S brick can go or should go. I like fast cars as anyone. I just know where 7k lbs 2-box SUV ranks where in need-for-speed is for me. Keep in mind that as the velocity increases...

The notion of Aptera is great. I wanted something like this when I was still working as a commuter only purpose. Now retired, I have no need for such. It just took too long to get to the market. At the current range and limitation of 2 seats at the price they are asking, there are many other...

Lot can and will change between the marketing prototypes and the production models. Build quality in mass is a hugely different than one-off hand built prototypes. That said, if Rivian tries to keep the essence and the approach to the R3X, I'm sure it will be popular vehicle. There looks like...

South OC to Vegas is an easy one stopper at Barstow RAN. Return is easier with all the downgrade topology. I've done this couple of times with our gen 1 quad. I'm sure gen 2 dual makes it easier. I usually drive faster though. If I don't I'll become a hazard on the road to other drivers...

If they fixed their SC workflow and not have to pay for rental for just about every appointment, it would be a large cost avoidance in their expense ledger.

That is a high traffic area. Laguna Beach and Irvine Spectrum. Service Center in Costa Mesa, and Lake Forest. There must be lots of Rivians registered in South OC...

I think that Chinese EVs are the state-of-the-art, unfortunately for us. The Chinese government had put EVs as one of their pillar for the future in early 2000s and it shows, regardless of how they acquired the know-how. I wished that our automakers didn't push back their investment and...

I have to agree with this. It's too easy to give into immediate gratification at a very high costs. It's very easy to spend, and very hard to save (invest) for another day. Takes discipline and dedication to improve the financial situation.

Not to mention that Rivian faithful will tolerate and accept all the infant mortality and quality issues for newly designed and produced products. Rivian faithfuls are glad to be the Beta Testers...

Our first EV was Tesla. I was all-in on EVs. I said to myself, self, no more ICE vehicle and EVs from here on out. Got Rivian, our second EV, and now I am convinced that I need to get the right drive mode for each specific needs. Not hard over EV only, no longer. From my perspective, this...

Thank you very much!

Tank...uhhhm, G-Turn.
