You are leaving out some facts that matter in this discussion and provide support for @Budman ’s data. As the temperature of the outside air drops the COP drops as well. It’s disingenuous to claim 300%-600% efficiency compared to resistive and not mention these facts. The spec COP of any heat...

Yep. That's a large device, not the shutters. To me, it sounds exactly like an electrical contactor - I've heard them hundreds of times over the years in my work. An educated but still a WAG (Wild Ass Guess) - it's acting like chatter that occurs when a relay/contactor has low coil voltage. The...

I have Connect+ and have not gotten the update yet!!!!!! I just wanted to be the first one to say it 🤡

The Chinese are reported to be Rivian's LIDAR "off the shelf" manufacturer if they don't do their own design - Robosense. If Rivian does their own design, Rivian has MORE control over the hardware device. But at any rate, LIDAR sensors are hardwired devices and it will be controlled by RIvian's...

IMO the benefits outweight the losses. I have a fair amount of home automation. You can still use the Alexa voice app on your phone if that's important. I hope that home automation integration is on Rivian's future features list. Also, keep in mind that Alexa's future is still unclear. Yes they...

Apple was involved in silicon design before becoming profitable. In fact, Apple's investment in 1990 as an ARM founding partner did three things - it put ARM on the tech map, it established the foundation still used in mobile devices today (via the failed Newton) and helped to saved Apple's ass...

Nah, people will still come here and post "What does that icon mean"?

torque steer in FWD can be caused by several possible issues: - Unbalanced tire inflation - one side higher than the other - tire wear or tire defect defect - Control arm bushings - Cracked front subframe (welded construction) on 2022 and early 2023 models. In 2023 Rivian changed to a cast...

It's in the manual. It will draw 12A max on a 120 volt circuit. As long as you are plugged directly into the outlet, or using a not too long 14 gauge extension cord, you don't have to set the Rivian to anything. It can't draw more current than the charger permits. If for some reason you used a...

I have had this issue for months with my iPhone on multiple versions of the Spotify app. I have not been able to figure it out. I was not associating it with the Rivian, but now that you mention it - 🤔 I'll have to pay more attention to exactly when it happens, what connectivity I have and...

I had a weird one-off bug about two years ago with the volume, a few others reported similar. After installing an update, at volume 4, it was too loud to converse with people in the back seat, and at 3 it was a bit too quiet too hear. It was too large of a volume change between single steps. At...

Agree, I think a one-off "nod nod wink wink" homage to Star Wars is fine. No need to make it a "thing".

I saw this identical tactic years ago in Delaware across from a Mercedes dealership. IMO it might make the owner feel good, but it has no impact on the dealer or the brand without hearing both sides of the story.

TechCrunch Excerpts: Uber has a long-term ambition that goes well beyond shuttling passengers: the company eventually wants to outfit its human drivers’ cars with sensors to soak up real-world data for autonomous vehicle (AV) companies — and potentially other companies training AI models on...

If my glass breaks, I will absolutely install a CF replacement.

Get your wallet out. Get the Carbon Fiber roof and then install a high quality aftermarket sunroof.

I may have a fuzzy memory, and I'm not going back to look, but as I recall when RJ's comp plan was discussed here years ago, it was supported by almost everyone. Now, there are a lot more naysayers. Hmmm..... Shareholders knew, or should have known, what the comp plan looked like before buying...

How dare you challenge the Robotaxi narrative with actual facts! 😀
