Itās pretty truthful⦠ā¦if you know how to cut through their marketing.
OP looks to be seeing around EPA rated range for their config - 20ā ATās on a quad gen1 large pack.
Rivian get funny by blending drive modes for their āheadlineā figures - eg the 371 mile āratingā for a gen2 tri with 22ā...
I would separate the model from the harness here.
Rivian absolutely should and does own the harness: vehicle state, command execution, safety boundaries, permissions, context, memory/chat retention, and the handoff between local and cloud paths. That is where Rivian-specific differentiation is...
That actually makes the governance question more concrete.
If Mind is already part of Rivianās production environment, then this is not just a theoretical future concern. The relevant questions are whether Rivian is paying Mind, whether those terms are armās length, whether they were approved...
No - and I dont think there should be any expectation - as you are the one driving the R1.
Full context - I asked for similar in my R1T - as at one point of the 6k miles on it (at the time). ~3K had been done by Rivian whist in for warranty work. I didn't expect to get a positive outcome, but...
There is another angle here that is worth separating from the broader automation debate.
The issue is not whether industrial robotics is useful. It clearly could be. The governance question is whether Rivian shareholders are fully protected if Mind Robotics becomes deeply tied to Rivianās...
I mostly park our R1ās outside here in STL - as other have said itās the cold starts that really take the toll on range. As a result for very short trips (ie ~5 miles or so) can see a massive impact, but by the time we are actually going somewhere Iād put it at around 15-25% impact during Jan/Feb.
I think youāre conflating two separate Rivian claims.
Rivianās R2 media material places the 200 sparse TOPS figure under the R2 infotainment compute module. RAP1 is described separately as part of the Gen 3 Autonomy Computer, which Rivian rates at 1600 sparse INT8 TOPS (using a pair of RAP1...
āLocal LLMā does not mean much beyond marketing unless the implementation details are clear.
ā200 sparse TOPSā raises more questions than it answers. At what precision? BF16, INT8, INT4? What sparsity format? Does the runtime actually use it? Most normal LLMs are dense, and I am not talking...
Iām pretty sure this is it - the number of times theyāve had my truck on the operating table, I suspect that this is another bit of fallout from that. Pretty pissed though as I got gaslit by the SC that they couldnāt hear anything (though everyone else can) - and then wonāt stop talking about atmos.
I also suspect that there may be some build issues - or some weirdness going on the DSP.
I'm working on improving this thing I threw together last night: https://github.com/puppetsock/audio-soundstage
but it was super helpful today to help show how the front door speakers are out of phase, no...

As somewhat expected the SC 'cannot reproduce' after trying a playing atmos(sigh) tracks etc - and also report they cant hear 'rattling, gargling' etc - despite having read this thread - hey folks!
Anyway - trying to be more useful, I spent 10 mins vibing up...
Unless you just spent them all on autonomy+ :)
I wonder if we will see updated crossbar mounts on the R1 soonish - somewhat suspicious that a sale indicates they want to offload stock prior to a refresh of some sort.
I remember a time when the crossbars were less than the GDP of most well...
Tried them all (Soft, hard, let it sleep) and two software updates (maybe three-I forget, and not sure if the last ādouble tapā really counts :) ).
Edit - Just realized I'd made another post about this, org im a doofus...
Iām looking for advice on an audio issue in my Gen 2 Tri Motor R1T and trying to work out whether this is a known Gen 2 premium audio behavior, a software issue, or something specific to my truck.
I have a couple of (Gen1) Rivians for comparison, and neither has this issue: The symptom is that...
I donāt think that follows.
Legal entitlement is the floor. Governance judgment is the question.
RJ is legally entitled to receive whatever the approved package provides. Iām not arguing otherwise.
āIs he legally entitled to it?ā is a contract question.
āWas it necessary, well structured...
Urg - I'm gonna reply, even though I kinda dont want to but you know:
I think a lot of folks here are more right than wrong, but weāre mixing a few different arguments.
Yes, Rivian would not exist without RJ. That is obviously true. He founded it, built it, raised the money, got real...
