  1. Rivian took over my Tesla Supercharging session and charged me more than double?

    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...
  2. When will R1 get Gen 3 hardware?

    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...
  3. Rival: EX60 Configurator opening this month

    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...
  4. When will R1 get Gen 3 hardware?

    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...
  5. Rivian Assistant - Wish list

    Yes it was able to speak faster and it started speaking faster and then it's spoke even faster when I told it the second time but then it didn't remember to do it and then I asked it to do it again and it said it did not know how so apparently it doesn't actually know how to do it but it did it...
  6. Story: Introducing Rivian Assistant & Rivian Unified Intelligence. Unlock hands-free utility with Connect+

    Oh my goodness this is going to be a very long wait for the next update! Actual conversation... Me: " Hey Rivian, can you change your voice?" Rivian: "Yes I have several different voices from which to choose. Would you like to hear them now?" Me: "Yes please " Rivian: "Ok ... Actually I cannot...
  7. Rivian Assistant - Wish list

    I just set up the assistant and job 1: "talk faster." No I mean even faster. How about even a little faster. (Third time got it to tolerable.)
  8. Rival: EX60 Configurator opening this month

    For me, EX60 P12 is my top candidate of all the vehicles coming out except for one thing that may be a deal killer: the autonomy system. My next vehicle needs to be L3 capable at a minimum. I am not signing up for a 5+ year vehicle that cannot drive itself eyes off at least on freeways. Volvo...
  9. Rival: EX60 Configurator opening this month

    To my way of thinking there is not much difference in any of these vehicles in terms of availability. There are ~20k R2s but without the upgraded technology (I would not buy without the lidar/RAP1), otherwise it is 2027. There are ~20k iX3s in the US. There will be a similar number of EX60s but...

    updated comparison
  11. Rival: EX60 Configurator opening this month

    The EX60 is shaping up to be a very compelling alternative to the R2. The P10 version has very similar specs at a similar price, the P6 will compete with the "standard" R2 when it comes out, and the P12 is the 400 mile max pack I wish Rivian would build. Here is a quick comparison chart and a...
  12. When will R1 get Gen 3 hardware?

    We, yes, an 800V R2 max pack (or even just a max pack) would 100% pull me back into the R2 camp.
  13. When will R1 get Gen 3 hardware?

    800v, gen 3 autonomy, and a Two row R1S with roomier back seat, less weight, and more cargo. I'm in
  14. Friend bought ModelY after keeping R1S for a day, and after learning about R2

    We agree with your neighbors that the biggest weakness in the Rivian v Tesla is the ADAS. But there is precisely zero chance I would pay an extra $12,000 over ten years for the privilege of using FSD (seriously people!). And honestly if you love FSD that is a reason to BUY an R2 (non-launch)...

    You should get out more. Most of the US is covered by roads where you will frequently find yourself more than 80 miles from the nearest charger. This is especially true if you are not on interstates. And a July 2024 study showed that mess than 33% of stations were broadcasting accurate telemetry...

    Because you are almost never more than an 1/8th of tank away from a gas station and they are always available and functional when you arrive but you are often more than 1/3 a charge away from a charging station and they are frequently unavailable or non-functional when you get there.
  17. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    Just saw this on the EX60 and one thing in particular caught my eye and worth sharing: Volvo is the only legacy automaker in the world to achieve Level 5 Software Defined Vehicle Status. The framework measures three things: Can the vehicle update all domains over the air? Is software decoupled...
  18. What’s Coming in 2026.15 Update, Including Rivian Assistant

    I think we will wait until we get actual field testing rather than a canned and curated demo to judge whether or not it knows where things are. Alexa does fabulously on demos as well. The problem is that Alexa does not know many map points so if you give it a destination it often has a hard time...
  19. What’s Coming in 2026.15 Update, Including Rivian Assistant

    The assistant is looking like we are losing some important (at least for me) functionality, gaining some less useful functionality. Right now the Alexa can operate my garage doors and outdoor lights and other home control. It is mostly an idiot when it comes to navigating because it cannot find...
  20. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    I do not want to pick a fight here but Rivian and BMW both run android automotive which they both customize in house. BMW is not using Mobileye anymore. They have a new ADAS that they jointly developed from scratch with Qualcomm the AI Enabled Snapdragon Ride Pilot that runs on the snapdragon...
