My guess is it's more about production planning than anything else.
With Rivian heavily focused on getting the R2 launched, it wouldn't surprise me if they're simplifying configurations, colors, and options to reduce complexity and improve efficiency overall. It could also be something as...
Maybe I missed it while reading through the replies, but I haven't seen anyone mention the steering wheel scroll wheels. Those would be high on my list. The rear window too for sure!
For Sale: Pristine OEM 20" All-Terrain wheels (recently installed by Rivian, no damage, and still has stickers) + tires.
Local sale (PNW) only. Please DM if interested. Thanks.
Thanks!
True, however, Tesla is also in a unique position because they’re so far ahead in autonomy right now. FSD has become one of Tesla’s biggest differentiators, to the point where they can remove basic Autopilot from new vehicles and still continue selling cars at scale (much less now, but still way...
It still baffles me that Rivian didn’t include more outlets, especially for a vehicle marketed around adventure and utility. Imagine if we had the kind of beefy power outlets found in the Lightning or Silverado EV. My experience using the outlets in the Lightning has been fantastic.
The audio...
Rivian really can’t afford to create a situation right now that introduces an Osborne effect.
We already saw something similar with Tesla. A lot of owners held off waiting for HW5, only to find out HW4 is likely here to stay for consumer vehicles because Tesla considers it more than capable for...
The side shades would be amazing for the kids & camping. Thanks for taking note of this. Fingers crossed!
Gen2 R1S black shades would be great + fresh air from carbon filters.
I’m with you. The EV tax credit getting demonized (great way to put it BTW) while oil subsidies quietly continue year after year is so contradictory.
It is funny though seeing some of the loudest anti-EV people now paying crazy prices at the pump, especially diesel owners. Times definitely...
Haha! I about fell out of my chair laughing.
See what I mean with certain people? Classic example of that group and type. The lack of logic precisely describes that bunch.
They get to have their cake and actually eat it too because of Elon, while applying and ignoring the double standard to...
Elon thanks you, despite the double standard held by many. If it wasn't for Elon/Tesla _____. It's amazing how many conveniently ignore this. Baffling.
And like what others have said enjoy your Tesla NACS adapter and the best Tesla super charger network. Thanks Elon.
This is exactly why we...
I was a bit reserved about the exterior design at first after the reveal of the IONIQ "7" concept (now renamed to IONIQ 9, which makes sense), but it has grown on me. Same with my wife as her first impressions was "I like the EV9 better," but now it's different after seeing more of the actual...
I would definitely wrap the car for many reasons, but that's just me. Having wrapped a ton of Teslas and other show cars, for what's it worth, wrapping the Rivian due to its straight forward panels is a lot less difficult as it is with other vehicles without a lot of curves.
If you have the...
I'm very familiar with leasehackr.com.
Also, I was referring to other manufacturers, not Rivian so you keep assuming something that I didn't reference. Please read carefully. Context is important. I never said that you could with Rivian.
The point is with "other" manufacturers, it's not...
I've tinted about half of the glass roofs in the fleet with XPEL XR Prime. All the front windshields are tinted with 70%.
Never had any issues with the roof glass cracking. Is it possible? Yes. Have I seen it personally on some Teslas? Yes. Cause? Shrugs, but in most instances it appears that...
