This just popped up in my YT feed, and I remembered it being one of my favorite Rivian/RJ videos, so I watched it again.
There are SO many good tidbits of info in here, it's totally worth watching the entire 17 minutes...
Sorry y'all, post edited...I got out over my skis a bit.
There's a very important hearing this coming Tuesday in Austin. It would be a big help if the Rivian community could come out to show support at the hearing. Time should be finalized tomorrow & I'll post more details then.
Hey y'all (even my non-Texans). I know some of us Texans have sent him emails, but I need help to get the attention of the Chair of the Transportation Committee here in TX & decided to try Twitter.
Can you help by giving some Twitter love (likes/retweets/replies of support)? I threw the...
I've realized that I enjoy contributions from a lot of people here & would enjoy events where I could hang out with y'all in person.
Where would be some great locations for meetups once we have our Rivians? Some considerations are:
1) Accommodations - hotels, short term rentals, camping spots...
At your request @DB-EV .
Pellet grills/smokers are a cheat code for smoking meats. They burn compressed wood pellets that provide both heat & smoke. You set the desired temp & there is a controller that runs a fan and an auger that feeds the wood pellets, so they can very precisely regulate...

This is not Rivian-related specifically, but pretty cool results using AI similar to what companies are using for Autonomous Driving capabilities.
Plus, I know there is a decent number of fellow tech people on here. And even for those who aren't, this is a use case that will change our world...
Alright, I have two interesting predictions based on further review (and revelation?) looking at the updated website:
1) The R1S second row will be convertible from bench to captains chairs, by removing the center seat. Yes, I know the text on the site says 60/40, but this image is new &...
I've been expecting this for awhile & am excited to see what they come up with.

Rivian,
These vehicles are touted as adventure & off road vehicles. I'm not sure exactly what this is, but it looks like wiring, and it really doesn't matter what it is.
This mystery dangler could easily get stuck on a branch in a trail, caught or crushed by a rock, or some other instance of...

Good for Solid Power (Ford is an investor), who will have an ASSB available next year. I'm guessing they will start with small electronics while automotive testing is done over the next few years.
