    Deer on I-80...Not Visible in DriveCam

    If you were going 40 mph and the deer had time to cross, they were at least several hundred feet away. The camera is not going to detect them that far away.

    Not allowed to speak with management? Say what?!!

    You already got promotional XPEL worth thousands, and now you are pissed because they won't give you even more. The guide asked a manager who has made the final decision, and the manager doesn't want to listen to your whining. And your RIGHTS have been violated?

    Possible updates / upgrades coming s00n! R2 software? -- Q&A with head of software Wassym Bensaid

    The updated network architecture will be in all new builds when the line starts back up, presumably in May. RJ has stated this at least once if not several times. Any other changes that some are calling a "refresh" are purely speculative. I am unaware of anything officially announced/confirmed.

    Possible updates / upgrades coming s00n! R2 software? -- Q&A with head of software Wassym Bensaid

    This shutdown is to change from over 35 discrete control modules and spaghetti wiring harneses to a distributed network architecture. They would have to tear the entire vehicle apart. Not gonna happen.

    Is range improvement over time possible?

    Could be a minor gain from break in. That does happen on ICE engines. But on EV my guess is itā€™s minimal. Temperature, weather and your driving style probably have a bigger impact. Have you unconsciously become more conservative in driving as you are concerned about efficiency? Sort of a...

    Unreasonable extra costs

    Lol!!!! Itā€™s not a double tax at all. You pay electric infrastructure usage tax for the electricity to the state. You pay highway infrastructure tax to the state in gas tax. Completely different.

    Possible updates / upgrades coming s00n! R2 software? -- Q&A with head of software Wassym Bensaid

    There is 0.00000% chance there will be a retrofit.

    Possible updates / upgrades coming s00n! R2 software? -- Q&A with head of software Wassym Bensaid

    Wassym also said on video almost a year ago that he personally tested lane change video camera (screen displays blind spot next to vehicle) and it was coming s00n. We still donā€™t have this featureā€¦ā€¦. s00n?

    Unreasonable extra costs

    Your Rivian weighs a ton more than your Silverado and your Rivian pays no gasoline tax.

    Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal

    I'm thinking 1000 per month, ~20 work days per month = 50 a day? For reference, Ferrari hand builds 14 cars a day.

    Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal

    First deliveries were December 2023. So that's (very generously) about 1,000 a month.

    Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal

    Recalls happen. But this part of the story is revealing - "unapproved change". That points to some serious lack of internal controls. The fault was caused by an ā€œunapproved changeā€ that introduced ā€œlubricant (soap)ā€ during the assembly of the accelerator pedals, which reduced the retention of...

    $1700 Service Center ONLY Windshield Replacement is UNSUSTAINABLE !

    It's not out of line for this class of vehicle - new company, limited number of vehicles on the road, camera system and/or heads up display, etc. Four years ago my wife's X3 with heads up display and camera cost $1500 to replace. The BMW dealer used Safelight to replace the glass and then BMW...

    Anti-Theft device

    is there an Anti-Theft device on the market that is being used by other Rivian owners? Yes, it's called Phone As A Key, and you have it. As long as you are using your Phone As A Key (PAAK) there is nothing to worry about at all - until car thieves have handheld quantum computers, lol. Rivian is...

    Out of Spec seemingly confirms R1 refresh in about a month

    Definitely not a "dead simple" change. It's not just the charge port connector that must be changed, the front end circuitry of any non-Tesla vehicle's charging system has to be redesigned. J1772 has separate pins for L2 and L3 charging. Tesla uses the same pins for L2 and L3. Rivian and others...

    Rivian continues to miss out on revenue

    You need to do some homework before throwing out insults. Rivian has always stated that they would charge for LTE at some point. They recently announced that they were extending the initial free offering. It was discussed extensively in this thread I started. Don't like it? Take it up with...

    Ford "PRICE WAR" drives RIVN under $10

    When I first heard about stock shorting years ago in a college economics class, I was amazed and apalled that it was legal. I read up on it and discovered that it goes back to the 1930s.....
