I noticed that too. The best of both worlds would be to have both features available, but configurable to your preferences!

Anyone notice how the light bar wasn't indicating a green state of charge during the charging session? I wonder if that feature has been scrapped.

Although we can infer through this video that the tailgate will slowly lower through the press of a button, this video does not at all confirm it. There has plenty of features and tweaks identified in little videos like this that have been since removed/altered in some form. Until it gets...

I bought a used 12x8 utility trailer last year for just under 1k. Solid purchase and highly recommend if its not too much trouble to store. I've recently been waffling back and forth between the LE I have configured or waiting a little while for the reviews to come out and bugs be addressed...

Why never buy tesla again?

Again this is my frustration with Rivian's communications. Rivian tries to have their cake and eat it too. Rivian boasts about how they were operating in stealth mode for a decade, making the decisions, getting things in order, doing the testing, securing the facility, ect, then only revealing...

I agree with the price argument. The analogy I have is as if tesla advertised the model X for 69k, but then when it came time to configure they said well the X that we somewhat advertised is actually 75k, but hey here's the model Y for 67500. Then ppl say hey actually delivered under cost...

So their website portrays one thing to the general public, but unpublished conversations reveal something completely different? Perhaps this feature isn't as important to you, but what if they did this with something else? What if when anyone asks at an event or in private they say yea 300...

They never said it wouldn't either. I think they implied strongly that it was going to be available at launch, because they never said anything explicitly otherwise.

Rivian completely changed their marketing on this. They went from level 3 autonomy is coming and "well take the wheel you take the view" to "driver+ is an advanced driver assistance program that requires the drivers full attention at all times" and in the faq page: "driver+ is not a level 3...

A lower cost for a model with fewer features than what was originally offered as "standard." When I look at the cost of these vehicles I dont even consider the explore package. During the reveal Rivian stated that the vehicle would have all the above listed features for 69k. Later during a...

Yes

Anyone else notice the handles were out for the entire ascent video? That still bothers me for some reason.

It does look a lot smaller though. Plus, who knows if this design makes it to production for hummer. We were promised a 180 degree folding tailgate and that didn't make the cut, so perhaps there are things we are comparing to the hummer or cybertruck that may not make it to fruition either.

Not thinking this will be a million dollar app. Just an idea that can get you through a deadzone if you didn't want to wait for the 400m pack or the RAN network to be built out to your satisfaction. I didnt know about the plugshare feature though, that essentially serves this purpose.

Looks like launch green to me.

By way of monitoring these forums I've discovered dead zones with charging across particular highway corridors. What do you guys think about an AirBnB style app where you rent out a room and access to a 220volt charger by the hour? It seems like some of these charging deserts could be...

Deliveries for non launch edition R1Ts begin January 2022. And there's quite a backlog of reservations. The deposit is refundable and it holds a place in line.

I dont believe you understand the hill descent or desire for different modes as to how it relates to an offroad vehicle. You should look up hill descent technology for jeeps to get a grasp on what he's talking about.

Speaking of, I really hope rivian has a comparable vehicle visualization screen, that shows the vehicles condition and what the vehicle detects around it. If rivian falls really short of what tesla offers it may be the final straw for me. I've tried not claim "deal breaker" in response to...
