What people do with their money is their business. I've owned more than 50 cars in my life and never ever paid over sticker. I think there is always a different option to choose from. In addition, I think twice about going to a dealer that marks up their vehicles. Supply and demand is real and...
I have Tesla M3P with full self driving and to say its self driving is a joke!. The vehicle needs constant diligence and awareness. It asks for permission to do a lane change. Why it decides it needs to lane change is beyond me as I drive with a Lead battery foot and as often as possible in the...
In my opinion if you’ve placed a deposit for a vehicle at the stated price, rivian should honor that price. If I’m purchasing today then whatever the current rate is the going rate.
I want my R1S to be everything my Tesla M3P is. Then I want it to be an SUV so I can easily climb in and out of it. And I want an SUV that is "rated" for 300+ miles even though in real life with my lead battery foot, I get 265 miles out of my M3P. And last but not least, I want an infrastructure...
I agree, my BMW i3 does it. My Tesla M3P does it. When I chatted with the Rivian person, I was very clear with my question. I hope they do it sooner rather than later. Not a deal breaker at all, but a definite bummer. Most EV's have kick ass AC's so, my princess butt won't roast for long in the...
I didn't assume. I asked a Rivian employee directly. I asked for Pre-conditioning and "Dog mode" I have a Yellow lab that goes many places with me. So I wanted to know. Rivian said the vehicles do not come with it at launch. And yes, they can always add it later, hence my request for people in...
Just got off a chat with Rivian. I own a Tesla Model 3P. One of my favorite features of the model is having the ability to either Pre-heat or Pre-cool the car remotely. Living in SoCal, we get hot in the summertime. By going on my Tesla app, I can pre-cool the car before I leave my office. I use...
As mentioned above, I love 95% of my Tesla features. As an apple fanboy, I"d love to see Carplay present. Not sure why automakers get their panties in a bunch about allowing other systems into their cars. Kinda stupid if you ask me. I'd love accurate battery info as well as dog mode and most...
Finally a bit of info. I find in my life, if you communicate with me and keep me in the loop I am more motivated to go on the journey with you. Hopefully the people at Rivian will or have a better understanding of this simple concept. They have ambitious goals and plans. With time, I"m sure they...
what's more important. Get it right whenever that happens or get it fast? As a Tesla owner, Elon seems to shoot for get it fast and we will fix it later. I happen to be a lucky Tesla owner, as I have had no problems two years in. I'm so excited to get my R1S so I'm willing to wait. At this stage...
I have a 2019 M3P and used it is worth more than I owe on it. If I sold it today, I would make money on driving a car for two years and 26000 miles here in CA. There is an acute used car shortage and Tesla's keep their value extremely well. Enjoy the Tesla, see how the Rivians look and perform...
In general, I find that when ranges are quoted by manufacturers as a "more than number" it is usually less than a middle number. For example, 300+ is probably between 301-349 miles per charge. As a Tesla owner, there are so many variables to take into account. Type of charger: Level 1, 2, or 3...
The battery charge infrastructure is still in its baby stage. there will be so much change and growth that NEEDS to happen in order for battery cars to gain traction and not be stuck as a niche player. Five, ten years from now, we will all look back upon these days as the wild wild west...
We live in a society where products have a life cycle and its expected that we will get something new down the road. With ICE cars/trucks gas is always the fuel that powers the car. Battery tech is in its nascent stages and there will be a tremendous amount of technological advances. As someone...
We are all entitled to our opinions. Sadly, social media is an open platform where people, including me, go to share their opinions. We have devolved to a society that no longer values talking to each other (look an opinion) yet we hunger to speak our minds in forums and online. Lucky for me, I...
Wonder how rivian decides how to incorporate Amazon vehicles along with RiT/S production. I 've seen the Amazon vehicles in CA. Now I'd love to see the RiT/S
ordered LE R1S
driving tesla M3P
other choice is Audi Etron GT. best looking EV on the planet. Can't understand Audi's reluctance to have a bigger battery pack. 250 miles is too little for my lead foot.
