Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
I’m pretty sure, or hopeful, that will be the case as well. I’d rather not go find another outrageously expensive BEV to buy and have to sign up on a forum and chat for a year or two before I ever see it!
I’m having enough trouble finding an Xmas gift for my lady. It’s getting down to the wire. Apparently Amazon doesn’t sell live Ponies. That was a setback.
My go to is kitchen or cleaning appliances. #husbandoftheyear
This. In all vehicles I've driven with HUDs, they were rendered useless by my sunglasses. So while they have a cool factor, and I'd rather have it included, especially for night time driving, I don't think it's a deal breaker. Now, Teslas should have them since they rely solely on the middle tablet.
Great points, I wear sunglasses almost 100% of the time when it's daylight hours...good polarized sunglasses even help in many mist or rain situations; I prefer high contrast lenses vs. really dark ones.
I had a BMW with that, I absolutely loved it. I will say the windshield cost more as it needs to meet certain criteria that made it close to $900 repair when a rock came almost through the windshield at me. So perhaps indirectly could cost more.
Lot’s of room here. Shalom
True, but LE is, after all, a mere launch, a start, the guarantee of more. Meanwhile, I hope they sweeten the pie for us with some positive as yet unknown surprises, some standard, some options as promised — to cushion our disappointments, for me the greater range delay.
This is a great use case of AR and the HUD. Would be limitless to see what else could be integrated. For instance, it could indicate where the charger/parking spot is located when you navigate to a charger. Bigger picture type of thinking, but you could navigate to a charging spot, and reserve a parking stall ahead of time, and then it tells you which one it reserved for you. Really handy to see the driver aids overlayed the actual road too and not a screen that you would have to change views to.
Showing the detected vehicle in adaptive cruise control is worth its weight in gold. My i3s has adaptive cruise control but it's quite untrustworthy except in minimally demanding situations, and there is no feedback that it's seeing the vehicle that is actually in front of it. I've intentionally let it continue when I've used it on the interstate and traffic ahead of me comes to a stop. Most of the time it comes to a stop also. But once, and only once, because I trust it not at all now, it barreled straight ahead and only stopped when I stepped fully on the brakes and (whew) stopped less than a foot behind the vehicle in front of me. Until we can assign multiple nine's of confidence, we need feedback to the driver, and that green line (yellow would be better!) showing which vehicle is the immediate threat would be most excellent.
