    Can we stop asking for CarPlay now? "The next generation of Apple CarPlay will take over all of the screens, sensors and gauges in a car..."

    An interesting, if flawed opinion. Apple's ecosystem is the product. If you don't like it, nobody's stopping other companies from building and competing their own.

    Austin Space (showroom) making progress

    Popped by the R2 Party @ the Yeti store on 3/13. The showroom is still unfinishedā€¦hard to imagine this would make a Q1 open.

    āš”ļø Rivian announces: March Tesla Supercharger access & free NACS adapters!

    Yes, Iā€™ve used it. Works. Venture-backed fintech startup. Take that as a positive or negative. Right now, theyā€™re surely lighting their investorsā€™ $ on fire to attract users and increase engagement. I donā€™t expect the good times to last forever, but will gladly enjoy the benefits now.

    āš”ļø Rivian announces: March Tesla Supercharger access & free NACS adapters!

    Or use the Bluedot appā€¦For EvGo stations near Austin, itā€™s $0.30/kW vs $0.59 + a $0.99 connection fee thru EvGo app (no subscription price). Yes, EvGo is also garbage. If you wanna try it, Iā€™d appreciate the referral credit: https://bluedot.app.link/gS59awfqJHb

    Rivian Wall Charger oscillates in charging rate, support says normal?

    What does the end of the charging session summary say w/ regard to how much went into the battery vs HVAC?

    State EV Fees -

    The $200 EV fees in TX are waived for Disabled Veterans who register their EVs as their primary (fee free) vehicle. If this applies to you, it's better to make sure you have your plates situation figured out before delivery vs after. Story Time: I took delivery of my R1S in TX back in November...

    Credit card with cashback bonus for EV charging?

    Bumping this old thread because Bluedot is now available for open signups at www.thebluedot.co. If you like gaming financial instruments for an extra few percent here & there, this might be for you. Not sure how long they're gonna last while lighting VC $$$ on fire, but looks like deposits are...

    CarPlay & Android Auto Smart Dash Screen has arrived! New from EVSportline.com

    Donā€™t know if this has been mentioned yetā€¦ looks like the way to disable the obnoxiously loud startup jingle/noise is in Setting -> Reminder tone -> Turn off

    Advice Needed: Northern Colorado to San Antonio Area Texas

    Nobody's mentioned this yet, but searching plugshare for EV-friendly RV spots with 50A service might help reduce anxiety.

    Driver+ TX to CO...does it work?

    I happen to have shop access...but one thing holding me back from purchasing is a collectively dim view of Driver+ capabilities on unmapped routes. Can anyone who drives regularly to Colorado chime in with their experiences? Specifically, looking at US-84, US-87, US-277 routes between Austin...

    Portable Chargers?

    Agree with all of the comments with a caveat: There will definitely be edge cases where these types of "solar generator" devices can be useful. For example: A few 100W panels plus a few kW of battery would be great for light campsite use + topping off daily phantom drain losses when off-grid.

    Heated wipers question with no heat pump

    On this, I agree that Rivian could've done better...especially in regards to reports of headlight and wiper issues in winter conditions. It's not as if heating elements were suddenly discovered last week. As a potential software workaround: would love if there was a quick shortcut or wiper...

    Heated wipers question with no heat pump

    Not really a hard problem to wrap one's head around. Nobody materially cared about the energy efficiency of an ICE vehicle's heating system in the context of widely available fueling stations and the capture of heat off of the engine. We started actually caring when EV range became a limiting...

    [Poll] How did your R1S delivery estimate change w/ latest update?

    Ha, am also sitting on a '13 XC70 hoping it holds out. Put like $3k into it in the last 18 months.

    For those who got R1S (or R1T) at original approximately $78k would you buy one for new price of approximately $93k?

    Elon's 51 years old...a long "get rich overnight" professional timeline. Yes, he's an a**hole. No, Tesla is not a monopoly.
