  1. No software update this month?

    It should start going out this week.

  2. Out of Spec seemingly confirms R1 refresh in about a month

    No one is expecting body style changes when they talk about a refresh here. Adventure trim goes from Bosch quad to Enduro tri-motor with the same specs and price. A new Ascent trim gets added at the top of the line with quad Enduros and >1k horsepower, blacked out trim and a couple minor...

  3. Out of Spec seemingly confirms R1 refresh in about a month

    To everyone suggesting 2 years is too fast to do a refresh - go ahead and look at how long it took Tesla to do their first minor refresh on the Model 3, where they blacked out the chrome and added a power trunk lid among a handful of other tweaks… (Spoilers: 2 years)

  4. 2024 R1T back to IIHS Top Safety Pick+ (only pickup truck with TSP+ rating)

    Which is funny, because the R1T (also) gives you zero indication of back seat passenger seat belt status as the driver. Seems like a huge unforced error on easy safety.

  5. What kind of receptacle is this?

    It's probably the metal contact behind the plastic face. Look at this one for example, how the reflection of the metal almost lines up with the center of the ground socket when viewed from this angle. If you copied a picture of it at the library 30 times in a row I can see where the L shape...

  6. What kind of receptacle is this?

    I think this is just a regular 14-50R and the thing you all think is an L at the bottom position is actually just the normal ground pin with a confusing shadow because the camera is a potato. Occam's razor. Is it more likely that this person who claims to have an EV charging receptacle...

  7. Video: Tesla supercharging pricing / cost shows on both R1 screens while charging

    It's unlikely to change in the short to medium term, I think. Rivian was pretty specific about not sharing customer data with Tesla, so all Tesla sees is "some Rivian is charging here" and they bill Rivian for the price and Rivian bills you. Tesla has no way to know which Rivian is charging if...

  8. Back-and-forth between R1T (quad-motor) vs. Cybertruck (tri-motor)

    I have lived in LA for decades and you'll be happy to know that, like the vast majority of people that live in LA, I have never once been shot at lol. The suspension on the CT looks weak and flimsy though, I think if you actually think you might be going hard enough to need to do trail repairs...

  9. Cost was a reason for charge port location on R2 / R3 + other info in RJ interview with Electrek

    800V systems range from 600 to 900 volts depending on the state of charge. It's very unlikely they would venture outside the industry norm of 800V pack architecture given the need for matching DCFC infrastructure.

  10. Cost was a reason for charge port location on R2 / R3 + other info in RJ interview with Electrek

    So put it on the driver's rear, where I can reach it when I get out of the car. I step out of the driver's side and plug my vehicle in every. single. day. Often 2 or 3 times in a day (every time I park.) The R1 is convenient because the plug is just a single step away from the door. On the...

  11. Tesla engineer urges Rivian to move charge port location on R2, R3, R3X for Supercharger access

    Personally, I like to look at the lines in the 360-view camera to make sure I'm lined up and centered in the space, since it's such a large vehicle. Reverse pulls up the cameras automatically, so it's one fewer button for me to press. In a smaller vehicle it doesn't really matter if you're...

  12. Does the R2 actually kill Rivian?

    Until Ford comes out with an electric Maverick, or Toyota an electric Taco :CWL: the R1T is still the only reasonably-sized electric pickup truck on the market, and the only one you can buy right now without a huge delay or having to deal with the greed, markups, and shady business practices of...

  13. ⚡️ Rivian announces: March Tesla Supercharger access & free NACS adapters!

    I park in every other stall out of habit because it’s weird to slide up right next to someone lol. Like picking the urinal right next to someone when there are other options…

  14. So what does “All Fog” lights do?

    The Rivian has rear fog lights, they're next to but separate from the reverse lights. Rear fogs are red, reverse lights are white. They are indeed very bright though, and should never be used except in heavy fog or snow conditions where visibility is seriously reduced (e.g. less than 100 feet)...

  15. R2 Reservation Info ($100), Reveal Event Date and Page now on Rivian Website [Updated w/ R2 Teaser Video]

    Moving the port to the driver rear wouldn't affect the pull-through spots too much since it would still be on the driver side, you'd just have to pull forward a bit farther. It would just make supercharging possible by reversing into the space the same as Teslas do now.

  16. R2 Reservation Info ($100), Reveal Event Date and Page now on Rivian Website [Updated w/ R2 Teaser Video]

    What I mean is that Tesla's NACS port has always been on the driver side rear for all of their vehicles, thus that's the standard that Supercharger stations are designed for. When you back in to a supercharger (as all Teslas must) driver rear is the ideal position. I'm not speculating where...

  17. R2 Reservation Info ($100), Reveal Event Date and Page now on Rivian Website [Updated w/ R2 Teaser Video]

    NACS port is on the driver side anyway, it's just on the rear instead of the front. I wouldn't mind it moving to the rear quarter panel on the drivers side, but I would mind having to walk all the way around to the other side of the car to plug in at home every day.

  18. 2024.03.02 Software Update: Quick Control Shortcuts, Improved Soft Sand Mode, New Ride Feel Setting, Etc.

    I live in the desert and park in a garage but isn’t this the point of the heater coil at the bottom of the windshield? Can’t you just hit defrost from the app and have it melt the ice and snow off the windshield and wipers before you go out to the car? And bonus everything is warm and comfortable?

  19. How to Improve a Rivian R1S’s Elevation Sound System With Simple EQ Changes (Equipment Measured Tests & Results)

    Turning the Surround completely off disables the speakers along the top of the door frame and seems like a waste. My EQ settings are actually very similar to yours just based on my ear though, but I usually just go for a smooth curve and don't have the big drop at 1k. And I left surround in...

  20. 2024.03 Software Update *BETA* (Quick Controls, Individual Passenger Window Locking, Ride Feel & Ride Height Improvements & More)

    My base-trim Hyundai Kona had it in 2019!
