Tough call. I’m impatient, so in your shoes I could definitely see myself buying now rather than later. But I also hate getting a car right when a refresh happens, so it would tempt me greatly to wait. But considering that IF they announce a refresh, said refresh will be months away from...

It’s been a while since I had a real e-brake. I miss those days, especially during Midwest snow season. I’ll have to give the Rivian one at least a shot the next time an snowpocalypse buries Texas. For science!

To be fair, the braking wasn't that abrupt. I was more surprised by the grinding noise it made.

TIL Asking the forum is more fun than RTFM.

Oh, interesting. I have to admit, my curiosity basically dictates that I try it again... though at a lower speed. I find the feature surprising though.

I was cruising down 35 here in Austin today when I ham-fisted an attempt to turn on Driver+ and depressed the park button on the stalk for a second. The car lurched like it was under braking and made a grinding sound from the front wheels, and showed an error message that read something like...

Just came here to laugh at the thread title ? Also, one of the first complaints my wife had after driving our R1S was the horn. She claimed it didn't work. Apparently she didn't hear it at all. She's a honker (snicker) so it really matters to her.

All fair. Politics has become a fan club, and it's no longer about getting things right... it's about being right, no matter the cost. Common sense and courtesy lose out to fandom.

As someone who is very centrist (having voted for both moderate democrats and republicans in the past), after Trump won I decided to read media that leaned further right to better understand the perspective. Fox News was off the table for obvious and hilarious reasons... but despite being...

In his defense, he doesn't seem paranoid, he's just tryna learn. Most people don't love their cars to the point of hobbyism, so they miss details like this. I didn't know the motors were used this way till now. TIL!

I really love the open-pore wood accents, I thought the "leather" dash was a noticeable step down richness-wise in photos. That said, in OC it does look sharp! I think the white makes a big difference over the black leather in execution.

I was just gonna ask if anyone had their own experience that corroborates this clickbait headline. Still, the price of repairing EVs is going to be a problem that escalates quickly over the next 5-10 years as sales mount and insurance premiums start to reflect the effect on the carrier's...

I know these are off-road vehicles, but man it'd crush my soul to climb all over my interior going in and out of my R1S trying to get out of that mess ?

I'm assuming you mean more of a metaphorical lemon than literal one. To be a literal lemon, you'll need to give the dealer the chance to fix the defects, and if after a few attempts the vehicle is still seriously flawed (and I believe it has to be serious), then yeah... you got a lemon. I...

I love the carwow drag race series, but hey... this is roast-worthy content. I think Matt Watson will be just fine regardless. ?

Yeah, can't say I'd complain. Just facing reality I guess. We know manufacturers are looking for any revenue stream they can, and eventually many of these features will be monetized as a subscription once they all agree at an AutoIlluminati meeting that It's Time™. With AA and CP involved, they...

You kinda can, but having an in-screen app is useful to notify you when a message comes in. Otherwise you need an eye on your phone, or to be on Bluetooth audio, or a smartwatch. And then you still have to pick up the phone and activate Siri, all that jazz. First-world problems, of course. But...

I didn't have CarPlay initially in my XC40 Recharge, but because the infotainment was Google based, I had Google Maps, Spotify, and a mostly-decent messaging system. That made it easy to live without CarPlay. Rivian can get there... but they really need a messaging system. That's the only thing...

A lot of good points here. I’d also add that MOST Lightnings are high spec and expensive, and the folks who are willing to spend that kind of cash on a sophisticated (I.e. NOT an F250 King Ranch sledgehammer) vehicle don’t want the hassle of a Ford dealership. It’s a terrible experience once...

Damn, I bought a Gen 1 vehicle from an automaker younger than my 5th grader for its reliability! Egg on my face, shucks. Edit: He's a 4th grader, but my point still stands. Hope my wife doesn't see this.
