  1. Eclipse + Superchargers + Rivian = Chaos

    I charged up at the mountain we were viewing and then planned my charging stop as far south as I could. Didn't have to wait at all other than the hours and hours of traffic. Never been so happy to be in an EV!

  2. My R1S doesn’t know it’s a dual motor max pack

    And it's exceedingly conservative! You'll get to know it better and can choose to skip charging stops or choose different charging stops. I do it all the time. It's like when you had a gas car and knew where you wanted to buy gas, you just went there because you knew your car and how...

  3. R2/R3 Battery choice (4695 cells)

    The links say it's NMC but I wouldn't be surprised if there's an LFP variant in the cheapest R2, which has a range of 270 miles suggesting possible lower-density cells or reduced cell count.

  4. R2/R3 Battery choice (4695 cells)

    I'm a little surprised no one has talked about the battery in the R2/R3 line. Tesla made a big deal about the 4680 battery and how it was going to revolutionize the economics of their vehicles. It's being used in some MY and the CT but we haven't heard more about it. BMW is apparently also...

  5. Seventh R2 teaser photo!

    Unless you saw it in the Superbowl add. The center console doesn't split, it just lifts up. The seats don't have the center strip. We didn't see the dash, I don't think.

  6. Rivian Layoff 10% Staff and Lowers Production Forecast for 2024

    They actually said a lot of that in the Q&A that followed. I'd do it now mostly because they're shutting down production and it'll take them some time to bring it back and when they do, they'll naturally start with the highest profit options first. A lot of the cost-cutting options are...

  7. Out of Spec's Kyle gets over 450 miles from a new Porsche Taycan prototype

    That's great when you get a charger that works to it's max charge rate. I'd say I get that lucky about 20% of the time.

  8. New R2 rendering based on patent images

    If it's the same size/dimension as a Bronco and has Rivian's touches, I'm sure it'll be a hit. I know they've got some very thoughtful people who've been working for years on it. Moreover, they've seen how the R1 design has aged and what Land Rover and Jeep are doing in the space. That's the...

  9. Best $ per smile upgrade... Yellow Car Tire Valve Stem Caps

    Or these guys that glow in the dark: https://www.amazon.com/Car-Tire-Valve-Stem-Caps/dp/B0BMPRDTLR

  10. Rivian Front Headlights Design

    That gaping maw reminds me of a whale shark.

  11. Anyone else have this window issue?

    I had that issue on the passenger side. They replaced the seal. Until they did, I gingerly raised the window using a credit card to make sure it aligned. Then I tried not to use the window much.

  12. Unhappy with quality of stereo sound

    Go into the EQ and take out the 125Hz. I find that cleans it up considerably.

  13. People who've had issues with R1S - did you buy from the shop?

    I did buy from the shop but no real issues. Nothing unlike I've had with almost every other vehicle I've bought. It was all little things. Dented speaker grill, bass rattle, window trim, etc.

  14. Lucid Gravity

    It'll be late 2025 before we see something that's in the 80k range. Really looks more like a luxury minivan though they can call it whatever the y like. I suppose a minivan has sliding doors and this doesn't. While it's definitely better looking than the sedan, I think most people will go to...

  15. Is this stock doomed?

    Eventually the shorts will get clobbered just like TSLA.

  16. Do you always carry keyfob or just keycard?

    PaaK and I've always got the key card in my wallet, just in case. Did the same with the Tesla and you're always ready for the valet.

  17. Too complex to use while driving, or parking.

    Funny, I was just flipping through Consumer Reports and they gave the R1S a terrible score, a 57, mostly for 'Useability'. There's definitely a learning curve but I think it's a much more pleasant driving experience. I think they gave the early Tesla's similar scores. If I'm going somewhere...

  18. PSA - Use Alexa to play your Pandora Stations

    My Honda Odyssey plays MP3s on USB. My Miata plays them, too. If it's my MP3, then there's no DRM issue.

  19. Cybertruck charging port not looking good. Rivian’s location is better

    Never over-invest in a bad idea. The whole form-follows-function motif was nice but once they couldn't actually build an exoskeleton, what was the point? No dings?

  20. I just read where RJ was critiquing people who purchase gasoline vehicles.

    Not in Europe or China. The global market is moving. He's not wrong.
