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

    Emphasizing this. A simple thumbs up is not enough. Many of us are happy to deal with a car company (direct) that we at least *perceive* as not encouraging this kind of behavior.

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

    Source? I believe it is important to be accurate about such things. I remember him, in a setting very similar to this video saying "in the next few quarters". And mentioning that they were re-building part of the software stack to support DRM (digital rights management). But I have been wrong...

    Reno to Tucson... Can't get there from here.

    A few years ago there was a hot topic on Tacoma forum I frequented. Several posters were upset re: how California does not have reciprocity with other states with regard to conceal and carry weapon permits. Not saying this has anything to do with this situation and not sure it is even true, as...

    My 2019 Tesla MX chargers faster

    I put 10 gallons of gasoline in my Honda Civic and it adds around 350 miles of travel. I put 10 gallons of gasoline in my Toyota Tacoma and I add around 200 miles. I add the gasoline from the same pump/fuel station. By itself, miles added per minute of fuel pumping is not very informative...

    Rivian cuts another 1% of workforce in new layoff (April 17, 2024)

    I agree it is likely a necessary move. Less demand = less guides needed. An example of scaling, although clearly not the point you intended to make. o_O

    Afraid of Repair Costs

    Can you afford to have the $100 outstanding until further, concrete information is available; perhaps two years? If so, what is to loose? If not, given your trepidation and what you describe as a matter of principle, you might want to wait until a few have been delivered to customers so that...

    Emme Hall offroad Cybertruck review. Spoiler alert, she'd still pick the Rivian.

    You can only compare what is available - now.

    Emme Hall offroad Cybertruck review. Spoiler alert, she'd still pick the Rivian.

    And as reviewed with after market sway bars, bead lock wheels and aftermarket tires.

    Trailer Valet Blackout 10K Hitch (BSDH0030, Class IV, 2") on a Rivian R1T -- anyone try?

    Either you need a drop or you don't. Note that trailers with tongue jacks all hang down lower even with the balls vertical. I did and ended up with the B&W Stow and Tow. No rattle on the Rivian as the pin tolerences are tight. The two ball version can rotate to be horizontal to address some of...

    I swear headlines these days.

    So you really are not in the market for an EV yet. And probably won't be for at least a decade.

    I swear headlines these days.

    And some of them have been "very clear" they probably couldn't buy any vehicle without Car Play. As valid as that requirement might be, why spend so much time and effort on a forum for vehicles that are almost certain never to have it? Some people really do just need to hear themselves.

    No software update this month?

    Same here. I used to get them in the first couple of days. The last few updates I've been in week 2 or 3. Of course I started the update parked where the landscaper needs access. I'm quite certain this will be the one time he shows up on the appointed time (or day)!

    Electrek - "Tesla Cybertruck teardown shows battery pack is ‘half empty’ and we are confused"

    Perhaps they intend to use the platform for some else that is much larger and can stand the additional payload?

    NACS Adapter reservation emails are now going out!!!!

    Reading the various threads, this message cannot be re-iterated enough. A few of us have mentioned it, but people seem to want to blame Rivian for something that *at present* seems beyond their control.

    Tesla saves Rivian - Mammoth Mountain Edition

    I understand that Tesla is supplying the adapter to Rivian. So we should blame Rivian for the adapters not being readily available? Maybe you should write a post along the lines, "Tesla ruined my trip." But of course they didn't and neither did Rivian.

    Just got the Opt-In email for the free adapter.

    From the email: "Your opt-in must be completed by August 2, 2024, to be eligible to receive your adapter at no cost. It would seem that Rivian has learned not to leave offers open ended. Good on them. I further speculate that since they have some vehicle inventory on hand with CCS ports, the...

    Just got the Opt-In email for the free adapter.

    The emails are batched. I ordered in 2021 and received by truck in 2022. My email is also time stamped 4:40 (CDT).

    2024.11.2 Software Update Released! => Release Notes: Send Navigation, Mapping, Charging Feedback/Scores + Rear Display Improvements + More

    It's not hard to imagine that these changes to the back screen are part of work that needed to be done in preparation for media access. I believe it was May of last year that Wassym said, "in the next few quarters" for media and texting. I do hope s00n arrives in the near future. But I do...

    1 day in not impressed with the APP.

    We all bring a different sense of aesthetics to everything around us; it is unavoidable. Aside from the speed of implementation of some functions I'm pleased with Rivian's development and direction so far. Based on comments Wassym has made, I'm pleased that they are willing to "go back to the...

    What are the legal and financial issues involved with using non-approved adapter and it causes damage?

    In my experience, asking your insurance agent a question like this often compares in quality to the information Rivian guides offer Rivian customers on all sorts of issues. In fact, I've had two Rivian Nationwide reps tell me different things in response to the same (written) question. Some...
