No, I won't get over it. I *much* prefer posts from people being people, including yours when you're arguing and a bit off-kilter! If you chat GPT why don't I just ChatGPT back, and then we can just have a ChatGPT back and forth where we don't need to do any work nor have any opinions we can...

First - I mean this seriously, stop using ChatGPT or whatever LLM you're using to make replies. Copy and pasting stuff is both embarrassing and it is something any of us could do if we wanted to see what a bot had to say. Also you're changing what you said in order to make yourself sound...

If you're going to throw "facts" and viewpoints you need to at least have your facts correct - First - Market value is absolutely, 100%, a viewpoint. It is based on the viewpoints, projections and emotions of investors and what they are willing to pay. It is NOT based on any quantitative...

Keep using the Tesla network. These are facts: * Tesla is the only company who has managed to make DC fast charging profitable * Their prefabricated installation process is unmatched in the industry * Tesla manufactures their super chargers in Buffalo NY and employs thousands doing so *...

I don't agree that Amazon has a larger upside here. Amazon's upside is, as you point out, buying Vans. Most vans are owned by 3rd party contractors, so it really isn't all Amazon's fleet anyway. Amazon may be getting a kickback besides the equity value of Rivian, but still it isn't much...

I was guessing the opposite - I was projecting that perhaps they've delayed pushing this forward until the NEMA standard came through. Would save a lot of double work and cost trying to create their own protocol which would just be immediately outdated.

The Rivian app is compatible with Shortcuts. You can create a "shortcut app" which then goes to your watch. You can't drive the vehicle with it but you can do any of the app functions - lock unlock, frunk etc.

It is amazing how incredibly wrong you can be in so many ways... #1 - please read before replying. My response was to the suggestion that "Rivian will authorize VW..." Manufacturers do not, and never have and never will, "authorize" a different dealer brand to work on their vehicles, even if...

Zero chance that happens. Manufacturers rebadge vehicles all the time and the "real" manufacturer's dealership network is not authorized to work on it. Remember that the money in the industry is in service and repair, not vehicle sales. If Rivians were allowed to be serviced at VW dealers...

You have this backwards. They *DID* notice that it was a problem and that's WHY it charges at lower speeds. The battery control module (BCM) controls the power going into the battery and the BCM is programmed by Rivian and its suppliers based on lab testing. If they "missed" anything it...

I use SuperChargers all the time and have never had this problem. As previously mentioned you must start the session from the Tesla app, be sure you have the correct charger chosen (this has tripped me up when I chose "1C" vs "2C" etc.) and then plug in only after Tesla app instructs you to...

You are taxed with every lease payment and taxes are on the payments only not the vehicle price. When you do the buyout you'll be taxed on the buyout number, which will be less the lease payments.

You'll have to forgive those who are giving you cheeky replies. What you're asking to do is basically get around the laws of physics. There is no free lunch. Going from cold to warm takes energy. Your heat bill goes up at your home, even your ICE vehicle will have efficiency hits as it...

This is a superb post. I empathize with this experience and go through this roller coaster of emotions daily. I would call my relationship with the truck the epitome of “love/hate” with the added tweak that I REALLY want to love it. The design, the packaging, I love it all. But the simple...

Same here for this behavior after the latest update. Highway trips through the mountains are pretty jarring now. I do the same trip all the time and the difference is big.

THIS! Bring a check! The problem is that once your wire the money the power dynamic is tilted too far from you. Remember you aren’t going to see the vehicle you purchased until pick up day. It’s very possible there will be something wrong. You need to keep the option of walking away open...

Working great today. Three charging. 147 kw.

I've quit plughsare. Bloated, ad-riddled mess.

Good update. This thread is old but wanted to add a note that the case of tires never balancing smooth the fix is to take the tire off and remount it in a different position. Since no circle is perfect the "high spot" of a wheel and a tire can line up and cause a vibration that the balancing...

I'm 3,000 miles into my Hakkas. A+++++ Highway speed is smooth as silk, no noise (yet) and the traction especially on snow covered highways is exceptional. Efficiency is noticeably better than the ATs previously.
