Interesting how tightly everything is clustered on efficiency

Model y would have done better on Efficiency not range. Matt really dislikes the iX3. The only mediocre review I've found but most definitely not a fan. Bjorn loves range and charging but not a fan of rear seat space.

Pretty sure that is why he said it. They cannot afford to have a bunch of launch customers defer.

Thanks. All my contacts sync to the truck (and I can see it on the screen), but the assistant cannot see any of them.

I know RIGHT? I mean that is a deal killer for me. Why are reviewers not talking about this - other than the obvious reason that they are more interested in getting free boondoggles to Spain than telling like it is.

Ugh the charging speed on a 400V Supercharger is awful. It peaks at 120kw (around a 45 minute 10-80). It is awesome on 800V but on the majority 400V systems you are much quicker in an R2. iX3 does not have the same architectural limit. It will do 10-80 in ~30 minutes on a V3.

iX5 should be widely available sooner than iX3. Production start is due for August-September 2026 in Spartanburg, South Carolina. So we will not be depending on our smallish allocation from Debrecen until the Mexico plant opens for the iX3 next year. It is a very interesting vehicle IMO. However...

The incar snapdragon is very impressive. If only they had a more capable ADAS... Cmon Geely make the jump to Thor!

I do not want to be negative, but Rivian has a very steep hill to climb in an incredibly competitive segment in a flat-to-declining market. Even in this highly protected geography, the higher end market for R2 is confronting very compelling vehicles from BMW, Volvo, Mercedes, and an upcoming...

I cannot get it to recognize or access any of my contacts. It is driving me insane. I see the contacts, they are loaded, but the assistant does not. (Also as a aside, this voice is sooo annoying.)

Wait how did you switch back to Alexa?

I am generally not a Volvo fan (have never owned one) but I genuinely like this car. I like the interior and the exterior especially in the Forest Lake + Dawn. I am sorely tempted. Thankfully, Volvo is putting off the P12 and the Cross Country until next year (thank you Volvo!) so my decision is...

I saw this V2V adapter yesterday on the BMW site. It looks like it only works with BMW vehicles but this is what Rivian has originally promised before launch. Would still very much love to have this! https://www.bmwusa.com/build-your-own.html#/studio/fvzt48p3/charging

The Rivian assistant Cannot find any of my contacts even though they are plainly visible on the screen. Call John smith yeilds a "there is no John smith in your contacts" even though it is obviously there. I've tried a reboot and a toggle off and on for BT. Running Samsung Galaxy 26 on the...

Been there, done that. As others have said, this is almost certainly a case where the app had not fully initialize before you started charging. I always double check after it has started charging to make sure it is running through the Tesla account and I have had to stop charging more than once...

Two of those companies are profitable. Only the one "playing for profits" is not. I do not think this is a "CCP" issue. I think there are very smart, very capable companies and engineers that have out-competed their US peers. And I think that rather than saying "old is good enough" we need to...

I appreciate your perspective and I have also gotten burned twice but I remain confident in this current generation of hardware. The NVIDIA Thor is 10X the Tesla HW 3 and 6x the current Rivian dual Orin. The RAP1 has a lot more compute. The Mobileye Chauffer is designed to be true "eyes off" L3...

I mean BYD is able to do this on a $30,000 ATT03 and in fact they don't have an 800 volt they have a 1200 volt system My recollection is correct with not a 15 to 20 minute charge but a 5 to 7 minute charge. So I think rubian is not just one generation behind it is two generations behind on this...
