  1. Spare bolt dimensions

    What do you want to know? The length? The thread? Something else?
  2. What do you want addressed in the next OTA update?

    Give us access to gauges that a regular truck has, and maybe a few others. Motor temp, battery temp, perhaps a quantitative display of power delivered/regened (in kW), a cool little diagram that shows which motors are getting power (like the Lightning has). Let us display energy *consumption*...
  3. Why the term SoC?

    At least the industry you work in doesn’t have battery powered devices (like the phone industry). Then SoC is _really_ ambiguous.
  4. Upgrading / changing tire size requires service center visit (for engineering team to make change)

    That’s cool, and I would like the feature. I’m not saying they shouldn’t do it. I just don’t agree that it’s ridiculous that they haven’t. That’s a pretty uncommon feature. People have been swapping wheel sizes on all sorts for vehicles for 100 years, and not recalibrating the speedo when they...
  5. Scary Experience With Windshield Wipers -- Not Fast Enough to Clear Falling Snow and Splashed Water

    I definitely find the Rivian auto wipers to be a lot more conservative than typical auto wipers, but I generally find most other auto wipers to be too overactive. But if your issue is just the intermittent need when you're splashed or something, why not just tap the button at the end of the...
  6. City buses ICE EA station?

    Yeah. That’s probably true.
  7. City buses ICE EA station?

    I had to google it. It looks like 3 years of unlimited 30 minutes sessions. It’s actually interesting that so many are charging to 100% then. ?‍♂️
  8. City buses ICE EA station?

    Minimum current draw would kinda suck if you really need the extra charge to get where you’re going. When I’ve towed with my R1T, I’ve definitely hung out at chargers for a lot longer that I normally would, because I had to. I do think the problem is the free charging that’s been given away...
  9. Hagerty: World's Quickest SUVs: Rivian R1S vs Aston DBX 707 vs Cayenne Turbo GT — Cammisa's Drag Race Replay

    I don’t think it’s fair to call it clickbait. It’s on brand with the rest of Cammisa’s videos - it’s a fun, entertaining video for people who like cars. Yes, the Rivian finished last. No, that was not used for some anti-EV commentary. Watch the video. You might enjoy it.
  10. Why do we have to have the image of the truck in the center of our display like Tesla?

    Which is way too rare, by the way. I’ve been flagged down on the freeway in stop and go traffic to be told that my trailer brake lights weren’t working. They were working fine, I just wasn’t braking hard enough for them to ever turn on, so the person behind me figured they went working.
  11. Driver+ Enabled / Mapped on Which Highways ?

    I’ve had the same issue. I guess Rivian’s map data is too naive, and it just assumes any point of toll metering must be an actual toll booth that you have the drive through. It’s annoying, but I’m sure it will get better with time.
  12. Roof height bed rack for R1T

    Haha. xtrusion-overland. I guess they thought 80/20 overland was just a little too on the nose. ?
  13. Heated windshield?

    Yeah, I meant that directed at the OP. I haven’t ever drive a vehicle with the whole glass heated, but always assumed it would be great. It’s not super common though ?.
  14. New EA Chargers Are Failing in the Cold - Fixed!!?

    Which is great, if there’s actually another nearby. I’ve done tens of thousands of miles of road-trips with CCS vehicles in the last few years, and I can say that more often than not, I am _relying_ on a charger when I pull up to it. I know parts of the country have more infrastructure and...
  15. New EA Chargers Are Failing in the Cold - Fixed!!?

    Eeh, the etron guy Kyle mentioned was stranded and checked in to a hotel. I’ve personally been stranded by non-functional DCFC in -30 weather too. In fact, even after checking into a hotel, the DCFCs I could reach were still not working, and I didn’t know if it was my vehicle or the chargers. I...
  16. Heated windshield?

    Rivian has this. I don’t know how well they work.
  17. New wheels tires rubbing in low/lowest suspension height

    Yeah, those look like the dodge wheels with less offset. That’d cause the rubbing shown when the wheel is turned.
  18. 0°F Commute Efficiency

    Yeah, I do the exact opposite. I have free charging at work, so I'm generally plugged in at work, and I intentionally stay unplugged at home (gotta take advantage of the free power at work!) It means I get crap efficiency in the morning commute, but it's not an issue for me, since I don't have...
  19. 0°F Commute Efficiency

    As others have said, I’d you keep the truck plugged in, and preheat it before leaving, you’ll see *drastically* better efficiency figures than this in the cold. It’s not so much keeping the vehicle warm that consumes so much power, it’s getting it warm in the first place. These things have...
