Reciprocal tariffs are fine, as are tariffs on goods which are subsidized by a government or dumped on our markets. Protectionist tariffs fuel inflation and meritocracy in products. What’s happening now is one man deciding unilaterally to break existing trade agreements and half of America...
i believe 100% of the aluminum used for body panels gen-1 and casting R2 is imported and most if not all of the R1 suspension is imported as well as gen-1 quad motors (someone has to pay for the increased warranty cost there). Gen-1 batteries are imported, I believe all the screens are imported...
I get it, I don’t plan on keeping my R1 more than 4 years anyway.
I am pretty sure V2H was a marketing lie by Rivian anyway as they discussed when trying to sell cars and then went mute. I doubt they have any intention of actually building or allowing V2H bidirectional charging.
I am not sure there is any definitive proof that increased cycling damages modern EV batteries substantially. V2H helps in areas of California where we pay the highest rate per KWH (of the lower 48) and they are reducing NEM %. It allows a Rivian owner to use their 135Kw (large pack) R1 rather...
Mine just started something similar, when I am near but not near enough for it to unlock I hear noises like creaking form the front end. Seems to be related to latest update
ebay lacks structured data so they miss a lot of fraud items, they also don’t vet vendors, I am glad you have had experiences but having worked there for years I can tell you you are the exception (in ebay motors), the rest of ebay is pretty good
Perhaps the author assumed Rivian had a usable navigation system, this is a reasonable assumption and Rivian has failed at this completely with not serious intention to solve it. Also the CEO of Rivian made consistently false statements about why no CarPlay or android auto.
I am not sure why the...
I doubt Rivian will ever develop it. The whole concept for Rivian was a marketing ploy to trick people into buying Rivians. This is why total silence since June of 2024
Rivian bidirectional charger is a myth, it’s a marketing scam to trick more people into buying a Rivian with hopes of relief from buying power walls. I think they have no intention of developing the charger and never did intend to. Ford has had it available for a long time and let me tell you...
They have their own and use 4 floor jacks just to me careful
Rivian sent me there when I had a flat week one and they fixed it for free, they also did my 7500 mile rotate and balance for free (with appointment)
Sorry for all the hate you might get here for even asking this. I feel the same way and there is not reason except RJ must Love Elon who also won’t allow carplay. There are some BS reasons given but none are true except the CEO doesn’t want CarPlay in Rivians. I use Apple Maps with an earbud to...
