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

    I was an April 2022 delivery, and my guide was very necessary given all of the chaos at the time. It is a good sign that they've ironed out the sales process so that the hand holding and internal prodding is no longer necessary. Of course it's sad that they couldn't be given other roles at...

    Ski Resort L2 Charger etiquette

    I have only once in 3 seasons of snowboarding charged my R1T to 100% at a resort, and that was after the lifts closed. So I have never moved it out of a charging spot. Big battery on 4 - 9 kW L2 is usually not doing a big charge. I agree that there is pretty poor etiquette on display. A PHEV...

    Seat and steering column adjustments Interrupted by scroll thumbs

    Yes, this is frustrating and I wish they would change this behavior (or fix if it's a bug).

    Switched from Launch Edition Quad to Dual Motor Max Pack Performance -- my impressions / review

    Cramming highly compressed/lossy music over Bluetooth is never going to sound great. Funny that Tidal's big innovation is streaming CD quality music (until you pay for the HiFi Plus tier). The tag line should be "Hear your music like it's 1992!"

    Switched from Launch Edition Quad to Dual Motor Max Pack Performance -- my impressions / review

    Tidal's HiFi Plus Max quality streams are supported by Rivian's app. Though it hasn't been updated to use the new terminology from Tidal. It is still called "Master" which used to be MQA, which sounds great. Tidal now calls MQA and high sample rate FLAC "Max" as they transition their library to...

    Rivian now selling wiper blades

    Can you share the sizes you bought? I just got Bosch Icons for my Ioniq 5 and the Rivian is next. Thanks!

    Cybertruck crash test video: good or bad?

    Yeah the king of pretending to understand complicated stuff has spoken. 😂 I'd wait for the test results from the NHTSA.

    R1T HV battery replacement after 25,000 miles

    2022, 3XXX VIN. I had my HV battery replaced at around 13k miles. No explanation given, no symptoms of malfunction or hints of impending failure. I'm my case Rivian diagnosed the issue based on telemetry and contacted me out of the blue. I was impressed that they were proactive.

    Twitchy Tidal (freezes and skips)

    Same here. Pretty annoying. I assume that with the higher bitrate the app isn't doing enough buffering. Just speculation, but they might have copied/pasted the Spotify app code where that lower amount of budgeting was acceptable. There is also a Tidal-side problem I've noticed where their...

    Software Update 2023.42.0 is out (⚠️ UPDATE: OTA fix rolling out today 11/15/23)

    Yeah they could do way better with communications, like replying to inquiries with a poop emoji.

    Don't text and drive - even if you're a cop... patrol car rear ended R1S

    I got rear ended this week by someone reading an email. My first thought was, I hope he didn't hit the side panels! Luckily the steel swing arm for my bike rack was on but the rack wasn't. It blocked his van from hitting my bumper and punched a hole through his grille. I got away with a small...

    20" Pirelli Scorpion reviewed in winter/snow tire test comparison

    Good that there are folks who think they need snow tires and folks who think the stock 20's are great. Balanced supply and demand!

    Minimum Charging Speed Requirements at RAN

    Also for the folks throwing around words like snob and hypocrite, you own (aspire to own?) a Rivian, where the dedicated charging network currently excludes every other EV.

    Minimum Charging Speed Requirements at RAN

    Please don't put words in my mouth. I place the blame squarely on Toyota/Subaru for making a crap EV that costs $45,000 - $50,000 and dupes their brand faithful into purchasing an awful charging experience.

    Minimum Charging Speed Requirements at RAN

    Looks like Out of Spec got the Toyota variant up to 88 kW max. The official specs state 100 kW for both variants. According to their observed charging curve this guy should have been charging at around 30 kW. So either it was a busted EA dispenser or the battery wasn't pre-conditioned (it was...

    Love my truck (family and Halloween)

    Minimum Charging Speed Requirements at RAN

    I think the degree of slowness is not fully appreciated here. I haven't seen the charging curve, and I'm ignoring things like total battery capacity, but if this was the max rate of the Solterra that puts it at roughly 1/10 the speed of a Rivian. So if Rivian were to build capacity for these...
