  1. Regenerative braking - revisited

    ...and there you have it. perfect example of what I was talking about. did you have something substantive to add? If so, why aren't you sharing it?
  2. Regenerative braking - revisited

    I own an EV6, but I follow Rivian development closely and I frequently go back and forth over ordering an R1S. This issue is one of several things keeping me away from Rivian for the moment. It seems there is always a major division/conflict on this. There is a specific group of people who lock...
  3. Anyone prefer a third party bed cover tonneau / canopy?

    i live in the PNW, and have a LEER canopy on my Silverado. I find myself thinking "gosh im sure glad i have this" a lot. it rains a lot here, and having a completely water proof rectangular space is SO useful. I can turn it into a dog living room if I want. I can jam a bunch of stuff in it and...
  4. Rants and Raves after 2 months of Rivian R1T ownership [DISCLAIMER: Unauthorized feedback from non-owner]

    all of these are legitimate issues.... you don't need to defend Rivian. if they charge full price for a vehicle it should work as advertised and if it doesn't it needs to be called out. saying "they fix it later OTA"... sure that's true, but no one wants a vehicle with issues. It's okay to call...
  5. R1T Towing Range Sneak Peek — 44 Miles of Predicted Range with 37% Battery Remaining

    numbers are spot on. it's cold so higher air resistance, likely using HVAC, and he's going fast (73mph in the pic). i wouldn't expect any better in those conditions. come summer time i'm sure we will see people getting much better range while towing, especially if they keep it around 60mph...
  6. Video: Alexa opening and closing front trunk on R1T

    if they try to make me say Alexa and I can't change the wake word, I won't buy one. And if by turning off internet communication with Amazon, my voice control disappears, I also won't buy one. If a basic vehicle function ever gets locked out if I disable Amazon, I won't buy one. Hope you are...
  7. Ford F-150 Lightning Range is 469 miles

    thats BS. at best, ford is slightly under-rating it like the Mach-E. It may get 320 miles or so, but the "469" mile thing is a garbage number extrapolated from Marques Brownlee's first look video last year where he just randomly looked at the guess-o-meter right after the truck rolled off the...
  8. Rivian discloses 56 R1T produced and 42 R1T delivered as of October 22, 2021

    that's actually not entirely true. if you take a picture of someone or their property, and they don't want you to do that, you can't. it's illegal to put a surveillance camera on your neighbors house, for example.
  9. Expected R1S information

    we aren't hearing anything about anything until after the holidays, is my guess.
  10. Just Finished NY First Mile Drive. My R1T impressions & Review

    heart beat? why have we never heard that before? sounds kind of gimmicky to me.
  11. Rebelle Rally starts up for Rivian R1T piloted by Emme and Rebecca!

    not sure how they thought dune running was going to work out with normal all terrain tires. have you ever noticed that all sand vehicles have unique tires with giant fins on them? that's for a reason.
  12. Per Rivian: plant is running 2 production lines... one for Amazon and another for the R1T. Won't delay the R1T

    everything would have been fine if RJ said "employees get first dibs because there are still a couple small issues and we want the public deliveries to be perfect...we are shooting for Thanksgiving to really get going on non employee pre order customers" we aren't talking about giving people...
  13. InsideEVs Article : Rivian Focuses On Amazon Delivery Van Over R1T Electric Truck

    so... still not one LE to a regular customer yet and still no word from Rivian? check.
  14. TFL drives the new GMC Hummer EV

    yea the fake engine noise was really noticable
  15. What do you get for $67,500? Less and less, it appears.

    yea FSD is a pipe dream. what a scam. i kind of hate how Rivian is trying to be like Tesla. if i wanted a Tesla i would've bought one.
  16. RJ Scaringe: first Rivian R1T deliveries delayed from July 2021 until September

    no one outside of Rivian has a truck yet, its so obvious. their marketing team is great...
  17. Has any customer received at R1T yet?

    my take...if you are expecting to hear about a customer getting a truck in their driveway tomorrow who isn't a Rivian employee, i think that isn't going to happen.
  18. Has any customer received at R1T yet?

    no one is confirmed to have a truck in their driveway. if someone who wasn't an employee did have a truck in their driveway, we would have heard about it. the problem is that current employees may be under instructions not to publicly discuss their vehicles until a certain date.
  19. So how long until a forum member here gets their R1T?

    i know people don't like to hear it, but this seems right. there were a lot of little issues with the trucks that scream "not ready for production yet". i don't think a non employee is getting a truck until nov/dec, personally.
  20. R1T Reviews Master List: JRE, Rivian Stories, Jalopnik, Inside EVs, KBB, Roadshow, ETC

    couple little things. tailgate piece that slides down got stuck in upward position. the tailgate doesn't seem to want to fully release when the button is pressed. video on external cameras looked terrible, not only bad frame rate, but also poor resolution. there are going to be problems, there...
