    Volvo, Mercedes and now BMW going Android Automotive

    Where are you seeing evidence of this? Did anyone from Rivian ever (directly) confirm their use of Android Automotive?

    Volvo, Mercedes and now BMW going Android Automotive

    Android Automotive (again, different than android auto) is very Customizable by manufacturers. With the ability to integrate mature maps, AI and apps with core car & infotainment systems I think these car companies will be able to focus on other enhancements to getting a stable product launched...

    RJ Shows interior of R1S (Canyon Red)

    In a time when creepy and unethical behavior has infested the executive leadership at other EV company, it is refreshing to see down to earth level headed leadership at Rivian. While I am out of the market for the next 5 years (minimum), my intention is to become an investor after they...

    Guide gave me an official R1S delay

    I was willing to wait for my delivery sometime during the first half of 2023, however, my 13 year old mdx just was no longer reliable and really could not hold up any longer - so I ended up getting another Acura MDX (2022 type S Advance). I wanted to get any EV SUV (with 300+ miles range), but...

    Now You Know - Rivian lied

    Headline!! When you clicked on the video, what was the headline??

    Now You Know - Rivian lied

    Ok - let's try this again.... "Who did they blame in their click-bait headline?" But, let's use your argument, how did Rivian lie? Hopefully they are consistent in applying this benchmark for honesty to Tesla...I think there is a lot of "inaccuracy" with Elon's statements/promises over the last...

    Now You Know - Rivian lied

    Did they ask Rivian? Did Rivian tell them it was incompatible or did Yakima tell them it was incompatible - who did they blame in their click-bait headline?

    R1S Owners Guide Manual Available! 📒 (August 22, 2022)

    Same feeling I have about the lack of a navigation integrated HUD (even as an option) in a vehicle made after 2018.

    Tons of Rivians & Amazon Vans ready to ship... photos [removed at request of Rivian]

    No way they are not sandbagging their projected 2022 delivery numbers! I hope the ramp continues to go well and they don't get tripped up due to supplier issues!

    Garage door opener activated in OTA update

    Damnit - I hate when people post to Instagram (or Facebook). Any mirrors of the full post on this site, YouTube or reddit? Something not owned by Zuk !

    Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    It's like they shipped the car with debug level set to high. Well, version 1.0 is bound to have opportunities for optimization - hopefully we don't have to wait for the release of a new car to fix this and the optimizations can be done via software/firmware updates and not requiring hardware...

    Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    ?? This is quite common for me and a number of people I know. I have traveled on business or for vacation for 10+ days many times. Sometimes due diligence projects have me at a remote office/location for even longer than 10 days. Depending on your state of charge when you parked at the airport...

    Guide call & PBA signed for R1S... mid-may delivery

    Looks like someone got impatient and made the mod themselves:

    Lincoln Star Concept

    I like the (exterior) design, especially the back. Sorta wished that the R1S had a less boxy shape at the back. Either way, this is a concept and production version tends to differ in the pre-production design.

    Guide call & PBA signed for R1S... mid-may delivery

    Love the plans for a second row screen - I assume tablet/screen hookup on the back of the headrest (or something more elegantly designed). Also, does anyone know if we will be able to add a nav integrated HUD option?

    Benz EQS SUV - 7 seater

    Wow, I didn't anticipate $130,000 for the dual motor. I was hoping that at maximum it would cost no more than $110,000, undercutting Tesla (but I then again, why would MB need to do that...?)

    Benz EQS SUV - 7 seater

    Looks very nice! With 380 miles of range, this is very competitive with the Model X - not sure if this is with dual motor or single (I would prefer a dual motor). The fact that it is a 7 seater would give me adequate space. I think it uses Android Automotive as well and has a HUD - two things...

    Gear Guard No Longer Working?

    What did customer service say when you contacted them to report the problem?

    Keeping my Rivian outside?

    I have always wondered about the possibility of extending the life of EVs by updating the drivetrain. I did assume that the bms as well as the pack itself would need to be updated, but if this could be done, this would mean staving off obsolescence - beyond the extended lifespan. This should be...

    Keeping my Rivian outside?

    Is this a joke? Well, even with a significant individual and household income (relatively to national average) and low debt, my wife and I both tend to keep our cars for ~10 years. This is why I buy the best I can when I am ready to commit to a new car. Knowing that the world was transitioning...
