What!? Wow.

I humbly suggest that you simply drive your Rivian and enjoy it to the fullest as is. Vehicle will power down as needed and do so totally transparent to you and wirhout you having to do a damn thing. Should you feel inclined to do so as time goes on, do delve into the worthless (my view) world...

I enjoy my EVs for what they are even if considered "old tech." For me, not even $5k would be worth ditching my R1S Gen 1 for a Gen 2. Suspension, if better on G2, I find it very good and quite comfortable on my G1. Matrix headlights, sure, nice tech, but to me it is rather gimmicky. Auto high...

The beauty of EVs or at least those that in my view are designed correctly without a stupid and worthless power button (or knobs and buttons). Just get in, fob, phone, or card in hand, press brake pedal, vehicle comes alive. Likewise, nothing to do when leaving car. Just put it in Park and walk...

Are you saying that the mothership could not retrieve all that diags info later or that it would not be acccessible or available because it goes poof?

State Farm, besides being more expensive, actually does not have a separate glass coverage; glass repairs would fall under comprehensive coveage with a $1k deductible,plus very likely jacking up my rates right away should I file a claim. No way, no how, no, thanks.

Is a circuit breaker operating at 20% derating by definition not running at maximum? My Tesla wall charger is designed to operate at 48 A. I do not think derating it increases longevity. If anything, the AC-DC converter on my EVs, designed to operate up to 48 A AC input might arguably be...

As far a I know Teslas can level 2 up to 48 A only same for Rivians. Unless charging two of them at once, what do you gain using such a charger if with one Tesla or Rivian?

LMAO. "Slower." Isn't that something!? You know, I got my Model Y Performance two years after my Model S Raven. I thought getting the Y might be a letdown compared to the MS. Hell, no. My beloved MYP too is so much fun and awesome to drive. 3.5 sec. 0-60, an EV eternity today, LOL! Come to...

From my vantage point, the gist of my comment is this: nothing, nobody out there beats Amica for insurance. Full stop. Not just in prices but just as importantly in customer support, standing by you. Second to none. Have had Amica forever. Handful of claims at most in so many years, Amica...

Sure, good point, but that really does not count for me and is N/A because I have no desire to ever drive even at 75, let alone those much higher speeds. And no-go on public roads, anyway. I am never in a big [expletive] fat hurry to get anywhere. Drive 65 on highways most of the time. My...

I always charge my Teslas to 80% and my Rivian to 70%. I rarely ever let either get below 20%. When in storage, I keep them charged to 50%, charge again when it drops to 20%. Rinse and repeat. I also always charge full blast using my Tesla wall charger (it's what I call it), Tesla-certified...

Offsetting the very many complaints about Rivian quality might be a tall order, it seems sometimes. Many issues reported on here look pretty bad, unaceptable at best, hardly whining. My R1S has not had any functional or mechanical drivetrain issues, fortunate for me, I suppose, but it sure had a...

Is there something special about this sun shade? Bought a generic one from that ubiquitous online outfit. In my hands in two days. Shade is fine.

How much is charging? Are you dispensing generic electrons or gold-plated ones?

I have the 7.5k service and other issues scheduled at the end of May. Seattle SC. Far, far away. Can you add details about the Enterprise rental? I was told I would get an SUV from Enterprise. I expect to drop it off at the SC whenever my R1S is done unless there is some coordination...

Great news. Thank you for sharing. My R1S is going in for the 7.5k mile service and a couple other things in 10 days. Considering having DT do the tire rotation and balancing; not clear if Rivian SCs do balancing also. The SC 300 miles away and still having no information about the process, I...

If you are interested in robotaxis, which I could not give a [expletive] about ever, if I tried, they might be better. But the Waymos and the Ubers, what the hell good are they when they are currently limited to working only within little corrals in little cities. Of no use to me, and I am...

King of Prussia. the Plaza, the Court. That whole area is unrecognizable. My old stomping ground eons ago.
