While I agree that this behavior is annoying and I've argued against it on other forums until I'm blue in the face, it's what NHTSA and the public are pushing. I personally believe that punishing people or locking people out of safety features is the opposite of being safe. Even a bad driver...

Most of you commenting don't live in California so let me enlighten you... The cops won't attempt to do anything even if you ID'd him or had his License Plate. The reason this crap continues in this state is because they know they can do it, with their face and all in plain view, and nothing...

I'm not saying they don't work. They work fine when they find the spot and then you go through the 20 different prompts telling you how to operate it. Personally, I can parallel park 10 times faster than letting the vehicle go through it's guided parking routine. Just like some people like to...

Understandable. Maybe provide her with some counter research? Some companies are actually getting rid of it because of dissatisfaction and lack of use. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a46683694/ford-parallel-parking-tech-discontinued/ I honestly think she needs to give it a few more tries...

I have no idea what Rivian is planning - question answered. However... Has she actually tried self-park on any other vehicle or is this just a keeping up with the Joneses? Every vehicle that I've owned with self parking capabilities, Tesla included, is the biggest waste of time, 1/2 the time...

Since you're in California you can't legally put any tint above factory on the front sides or windshield. That being said, many of us do... One of my best fiends is a CHP officer and while it's not the stance of the department or other officers he's said that as long as he can see in the side...

Being that I've used the Ford app, the Rivian app and Tesla's app extensively, I think you just need to give it time. Ford's app is slow, vehicle response time is even slower, PaaK is an absolute nightmare, you can't adjust charging easily, you can't see the lock status, you can't see the...

Do you have drivecam video of the event? I'm all for making the vehicles we drive safer, but I'm also aware that a lot of people who have never experienced driver assist features will overreact to them. I've seen my passengers slam their foot on the floorboard trying to brake because ADAS...

I'm in tech and have been using various driver assist systems from Audi, VW, Tesla, Ford, Rivian, etc for over 10 years and heavily embrace them. I push them all to the limits and they all have faults. I have videos of Bluecruise taking me off the road, but they are just assist systems, and...

Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment. I have zero patience for people who espouse entitlement. ICEing is the act of blocking a parking stall containing a charger, that an EV needs. If you are blocking a charger with another EV for 4 hours, there's no difference. People get towed all...

It most definitely is a thing. Yes, the charger is locked to the car until charging is complete, at which time it unlocks. So therefore, yes you can, and should be, towed from a parking spot intended for vehicles that are actively charging if you are not charging. Not sure about your state...

I think you're missing the point. If you choose to be selfish or lazy then don't plug in to start with. Your vehicle charging is your burden, no one else's. If you need juice to get home, then spend 30 minutes after skiing at a DCFC. I ski all the time at Heavenly in Tahoe, and it's a 30...

Don't charge unless you need it. If you need it then be prepared to go an unplug when you're done. If you can't get back (as another said in an example of snow shoeing) then don't use it. I'm not sure why people think that just because they don't want to be burdened, someone else should be...

His comment is that the OP image was likely artificially generated. All I said was that the image is fishy. Yes, the images he posted look correct, but the image from the OP and others looks wrong. If people are modifying images to include taller trees, extra buildings etc then I'm not gonna...

Google earth time stamp is 2022... Google street view shows the same background as of Jan 2023. So those old looking buildings with mold on them are new? Sounds like you're the one with the tin foil hat. Anyone in LA wanting to take a drive down to Pico Blvd... We can quickly confirm that...

Unless the buildings in the background are props, the trees shrunk and the median markings in the road have been re-done then I'm not sure that's the correct location. Basing this on the arrow markings in the parking lot, the only possible direction would be looking south-west. This also would...

Seems that the rusting issue is all too common and possibly not a "one off" or "solved issue". I have about 100 miles on my sliders and they are already rusting. These are from the latest batch. I know that EVSportline will warranty them, but they won't warranty my 1/2 of day of labor...

I know you're trying to be sarcastic, but there is an oil change in that list. The Drive Unit Fluid Change is an oil change. For the sake of not saying "oil" most EV mfgs just call it a fluid.

In California there's laws against predatory towing so a tow company can't just tow your vehicle without a complaint. But, who says that a Rivian owner who wants the spot wouldn't call and report it. The likelihood of a tow operator getting there in less than ~30-40min is low but still, it's...
