You will still get coal rolling driving a Rivian. That's an anti-EV thing.

I personally wouldn't do this but I do wonder what the risks associated with using this "Android-based hardware device?" Specifically: Might Rivian detect this modification and void the vehicle's warranty? This reminds me of ECU unlocking/tuning for traditional vehicles, but updated for the EV...

Some enthusiastic CR-V driver was frantically waving and flashing their lights at me like we were long-lost friends. I wasn't sure if my vehicle was spontaneously combusting, if I was about to meet my doom in a speed trap, or if they'd simply consumed their body weight in sugar and needed to...

Seems to have already been started by a group of owners. I got a call 2 weeks ago from some office out in California. I haven't called back but when I tried to work directly with Rivian almost a year ago they told me to pack sand. I truthfully could care less about the "fsd" or whatever the...

Happened to me in the drive through getting coffee one AM. Luckily nobody else was behind me lol.

I'm going to test it out. Just going to turn off auto and kneel to see.

I thought about this, but isn’t auto ride height only active at speeds 45 mph and above? I keep it in AP drive mode with auto ride height enabled, but the car has only been on the highway once (9K miles in over 2 years ?). It’s mostly driven around town. I do have kneel mode turned on, so when...

Could be an issue, could be normal, but lately, the compressor has been randomly kicking on and pulling in air. I’ve noticed it happening while driving (I can hear it) and even when parked—but only after recently using the car. Searched around and couldn't find anyone else with the same issue...

And? The MSB (Modularer Standardantriebsbaukasten) platform is still the basis for the J1 platform, which underpins the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT. It's just an adaptation of the MSB platform specifically designed for electric vehicles except that it's specific for EVs and the MSB...

Let’s be clear—VW didn’t ‘buy’ Rivian’s software. This is a 50/50 joint venture, meaning they are co-developing new technology together under a brand new entity. The fact that you’re still trying to frame this as a simple ‘purchase’ shows you don’t understand how corporate partnerships work...

I can't help that you don't get it. Do you think companies build every piece of software from scratch? Would you expect an online payment company to build its own cloud infrastructure instead of using AWS, even though AWS has a competing product? That’s not a realistic expectation(and it's...

This has been answered multiple times by several people. But even now, the details of the agreement are being misrepresented. VW isn’t “paying” $6 billion—they’re investing for 50% ownership in the venture. That’s a significant difference. It’s the same reason they don’t put 911 engines in a VW...

The Taycan platform (J1) is built on the MSB platform, originally designed for ICE vehicles, it carries inherent design constraints that make it fundamentally different from what VW appears to be trying to build. Just because Porsche has a well-regarded EV platform doesn’t mean it’s a direct fit...

This 10000%. It’s not just a matter of "copying the software," as some have suggested. The entire system is deeply integrated with the hardware, far beyond just the polished UI that most people see. It's exactly why manufacturers can do an update to adjust reversing speed, ride control, etc. The...

Reverse feels much better. I no longer feel like I'm on a ride at Universal.

No, you can’t just 'copy and paste software.' That’s not how this works. Software isn’t some magic Word doc you can duplicate—it’s an intricate stack, designed specifically to integrate with the hardware and systems it runs on. I actually own both and drive them regularly during the week—you...

Same here. It just works and stays stable. Meanwhile, my Rivian literally rebooted while I was in drive at a coffee drive-thru the other day.

That’s a lot of assumptions for someone who wasn’t in the room when VW and Rivian negotiated. . Here’s a thought—maybe Porsche doesn’t have the capacity. Maybe Rivian was the cheaper option. Or are we ignoring the reality of in-house development vs. outsourcing? And for the record, I don’t use...

In the Porsche, my music doesn’t randomly pause or stop when I touch the screen—something that happens constantly in the Rivian. Multiple resets haven’t fixed Rivian’s choppy performance, sluggish responsiveness, or frequent screen freezes. There’s also a noticeable delay when loading content...

You’re a C-suite executive but can’t grasp that just because Porsche is part of the VW Group doesn’t mean they share all resources and technology? That’s like assuming PayPal and Venmo—both owned by the same company—run on the same software stack and cloud infrastructure(they don't, they are...
