They would make sense, but even when the trip is a net elevation gain with little downhill it’s doing this. It didn’t do this a month ago. Seems odd.
I’ve had mine 2 years this month also - LE R1S 34xx VIN. Only been to SC once for camera replacement and that was in the first month of ownership. My 20” AT tires suddenly wore unevenly after being fine for the first 15k miles and are now toast with 22k, somehow my alignment got off...
Oops, I typed it wrong and just fixed it. It actually shows better range in all purpose than in conserve when I put it in the NAV and look at the arrival estimate for range.
I think they have been clear from the beginning that they were never going to let you have free LTE data forever. Does any automaker do this? Obviously they are paying AT&T for it and just passing that cost on to us.
Many people are beyond 20k miles and a year of ownership with no 12v issues. Others have the issue within the first few months. I doubt replacing proactively will make much difference, seems like something is drawing down the battery in certain instances.
There are 3 reasons people don’t buy EVs.
1. Charging network sucks. We need a charger for every gas pump and it’s a long way off.
2. No enough options at reasonable prices.
3. Politics.
In 3 years #1 and #2 will become moot and Rivian will be very well positioned. The fact that others are...
Yea but in the future as the grid gets cleaner EVs will be the future. The eFuels would require massive solar energy that could just power the grid instead. And the eFuels still have tailpipe pollution and will always require distribution to gas station.
It’s not that simple though. There aren’t enough renewable sources and there won’t be for a while. Plus you never eliminate the carbon footprint of producing and transporting these fuels to stations. The beauty of electric is we already have a grid to transport “fuel” with no carbon emissions...
You’re talking to people who took delivery in 2022, compared to then this is a very low risk purchase. Worst case IMO is a buyout and given how many ICE makers are behind on EVs there would be no shortage of interested suitors.
All you really need to do is get 2 identical Rivians with different tires and go do an efficiency test together on the same exact route at the same time. I’m not sure why Out of Spec hasn’t done it already.
Huh, I'm guessing we will get the camera change and much of the ride improvements from the OTA. Mine is already pretty quiet and AC works great so i'll stay put!
Interested to see how these LFP batteries handle the cold.
