    Rivian buy back: what should my next vehicle be?

    I’d second that. We replaced our Model X with an iX and my wife loves it. We miss the third row sometimes but the build quality is excellent, it’s been trouble free so far, and no swasticar associations. Got a crazy deal after taking leasehacker listings to a local dealer. Significantly less...

    Rivian to unlock unmapped roads (for automated, hands-off driving) for Gen2 vehicles later this year

    You may have had an alignment issue. On my winter tires which weren’t as well balanced , Autopilot wasn’t as dead center. Either way, your experience seems to be an outlier. Tesla’s made promises they haven’t kept but their Adas is awesome. I wouldn’t trust it with my life but I pay attention...

    Rivian to unlock unmapped roads (for automated, hands-off driving) for Gen2 vehicles later this year

    That hasn’t been my experience. Even my 2018 Model X autopilot was miles better than Driver+ and it worked everywhere.

    Rivian to unlock unmapped roads (for automated, hands-off driving) for Gen2 vehicles later this year

    Maybe. I wouldn't know. But the guy working on it does and has ported Openpilot to many different vehicles that can manage checking the adjacent lanes. I guess we'll see.

    Rivian to unlock unmapped roads (for automated, hands-off driving) for Gen2 vehicles later this year

    I helped one of the developers who’s working on the Rivian port of OpenPilot to capture signal data for the blind spot monitor. I think we’ll see that functionality in openpilot sooner than later.

    Check the ikamper group on Facebook marketplace. There are a few in the Sacramento area last time I checked.

    Tesla quietly removes range extender battery option on Cybertruck

    This thing was never going to happen. It was always bs to help paper over the original bs about the CT having a 500mi range.

    Cybertruck Laugh of the Day [⚠️ WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS BANNED]

    I see your point. I preordered one when it was $61k with a 500mi range and Musk wasn’t a repellent edgelord. If they made the vehicle they announced near price they originally listed and hadn’t destroyed the brand with Musk’s noxious antics, maybe I could see owning one in black. Very, very...

    California EVSportline Soft Tonneau Roll-up Bed Cover for Rivian R1T

    Selling my RMaxx Self-Tensioning Soft Tonneau Roll-up Bed Cover for Rivian R1T from EvSportline since I bought a GFC Camper and don't need a cover anymore. I loved the cover and I think it works much better than the Rivian hard cover. I especially like that it sits higher so you can fit more in...

    Cybertruck Laugh of the Day [⚠️ WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS BANNED]

    You just don't get it. The glue is genius. It's a feature not a bug. The parts are supposed to fly off. It's like chaff. Yeah, that's the ticket. Chaff. Cybertrucks come with active defenses. :headbang: I wonder where the bottom is for these monstrosities. Do they get soft canceled? They halt...

    Comma AI/OpenPilot Update -- Watch it in Action on Gen1 Rivian (Video)

    I've spoken with the developer about this issue and it doesn't have anything to do with the Rivian hardware. In the main branch, there is a limit to the amount of torque that can be applied to the wheel. It's a legal regulation. I forget the exact details of what the developer told me but the...

    Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Solution is Coming Soon... (seriously) -- by EV Play

    My experience is with Apple Music and the difference between native and BT is obvious. I'm running my data through a 5g hotspot rather than connect+ so that's not a factor. I'm curious how a hybrid implementation would work with your adapter. In my current setup, when I'm listening to Apple...

    Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Solution is Coming Soon... (seriously) -- by EV Play

    That's a shame. Understandable but it keeps this from being an ideal solution as there's a noticeable drop in audio quality when streaming over bluetooth compared to the native audio apps. I guess we can keep playing audio through the Rivian UI while using your UI for navigation, etc.

    Comma AI/OpenPilot Update -- Watch it in Action on Gen1 Rivian (Video)

    I’m not certain. You can only send a set speed signal if acc is active. If longitudinal control works by intercepting and impersonating acc signals, engagement still needs to be worked out.

    Comma AI/OpenPilot Update -- Watch it in Action on Gen1 Rivian (Video)

    I think there's some progress going on behind the scenes, but I haven't seen it publicly yet. The minimum speed that you can engage ACC is zero, but there are some curious constraints on when and where you can do that. For example, you can't do it in your driveway and you can't do it parked on...

    Comma AI/OpenPilot Update -- Watch it in Action on Gen1 Rivian (Video)

    Take this with a grain of salt but I talked with the engineer who ported this to the Rivian and they're not concerned with updates breaking the functionality. The busses it reads aren't encrypted and doing so would be a massive task with no obvious benefit. As far as I know, no other car...

    Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Solution is Coming Soon... (seriously) -- by EV Play

    I'm curious how audio is handled. Do you get the same benefits as the native audio apps in the interface. For example, can you play Dolby Atmos audio in Apple Music? It doesn't stream the audio over bluetooth I hope.

    California Sold: Xtrusion Overland XTR1 20" Rack + Leitner Gearpod Dual + iKamper Skycamp 2.0

    I'm selling my Xtrusion Overland bedrack and my ikamper Skycamp 2.0 Rocky Shell. The rack is the 20” version which I think is the best for the R1T. It clears the third brake light and bed camera but doesn’t stick way above the roof. It also is the perfect height to fit a Leitner Gearpod Dual...
