I love my R1T, and I find driver plus to generally be pretty good, but the adaptive cruise alone is awful. Yes, there's still phantom braking. Yes, it overreacts when you're closing in on a car (why cant it slow more gradually?). Yes, it gives up when it's raining, and it doesn't let you fall...

I’ve tried it on a steepish downhill gravel road. I decelerated quick enough using only the right pedal, that the wheels slipped and ABS kicked in. I don’t think there’s a world where they could have had this level of regen braking and *not* made it work with ABS. To be clear though, I...

ABS already works during regen.

Interesting perspective. Maybe that’s it, but my impression was that Driver+ doesn’t “aim far enough ahead”. It’s always felt to me like a new driver who is trying to stay in their lane by looking at the end of their hood, rather than looking down the road. Aim further away, and you’ll not dart...

lol. What? I'm 100% onboard with securing loads, but suggesting that people need redundancy in case their vehicle fails is kinda ridiculous. I can pretty much guarantee you that almost no tradespeople are going to be making sure that even if their tailgate opens, their load remains in place...

Ah, yeah, I was thinking more i4, iX, Taycan, etron GT, etc. I forgot about the older platforms. I also had a Bolt several years back, and it had the same sort of hybrid vehicle style master cylinder that "blends" friction braking and regen. I agree that it is not a good experience. I think...

A dent is one thing, but the bed literally coming apart at the seams is pretty unreasonable in my opinion. I’m with OP. Scuffs, dings, marks? Sure, it’s a truck. A cracked opening along the floor of the bed? That’s not cool.

100%. Back a few months ago when the suspension was still doing its “adjust all the time” thing, I was unloading my pup out of the back seat, and I had the back door open *just* clearing the car beside me (maybe a half an inch or something). The Rivian decided it wanted to lower itself, and the...

No problem. If you’re curious, the Audi etron (and I think all German BEVs) allow an option for what I’m describing. They also allow you to enable 1-pedal driving, if you prefer. The etron can’t regen nearly as strong as the Rivian does, but that’s more related to limitations of the electric...

I’ve had this happen on a gravel road. ABS kicks in as you would expect. It’s not terrible, but I’d really really prefer a way to turn off one pedal regen for snow use, and use regen on the brakes pedal only. I wish Rivian did brake by wire so they could have accomplished this without...

If the dual motor is 800V, but the max pack quad motor is still 400v, I’d 100% get the dual motor for towing too.

I’m curious, why?

This was posted in a Seattle car club group recently too. I’m not sure if it rolled, or what.

Based on the title, I half expected this was going to be a request for a coal rolling feature or something. ?

I really don't understand this sort of argument. "You don't need to be able to control the vehicle, just let the computer do it" seems really similar to "why do you need to be able to order parts to repair your own car, just let the service technicians do it". You're an engineer. Don't you like...

Cool. I'll have to keep an eye out for this this weekend when I'm going for a longer trip. Do you know if it also re-evaluates adding/removing charge stops now then?

I just tested this on my morning drive. You are mistaken. As I was approaching my destination, my GOM was reporting 192 miles of range in the instrument cluster, but the nav was still reporting I’d arrive with 194 miles of range. Two miles off on a short trip. The fact that it’s a little off is...

Yours updates? I’ve know about this display since I got my truck, but the last long road trip I went on, this SoC estimate definitely did not update. I could look at this estimated SoC on arrival display, cancel the trip, restart it, and have a vastly different new estimate (assuming it was...

You kind of still need to do that. When you pull it down like this, it only shows the initial estimate. If you’ve used more or less power than it expected, this estimate does NOT update ☹️. It’s not quite useless, but it is if you’re towing.

Really? What does the hydraulically linked suspension use? Hydraulic…unicorn spit?
