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 personally hate touch screens in cars. Even on the ones with dedicated capacitive buttons because there is no tactile feedback.
Command hooks? Stick up 1 or 2?Nice to see how it flips up though, so you can have 2 layers of bags.
Really like this feature! It'll be great for us when we have to drive clear across California to SD to visit the in laws. The wife hates to stop to fuel up where as I don't mind as much.
That is really cool! I got all confused cause I saw the 2nd picture first and thought in the 1st picture, "I remember there being a lot more space than that?". That frunk is super deep! So much deeper (and wider with more usable space) than the Tesla frunks for sure!Nice to see how it flips up though, so you can have 2 layers of bags.
If they are saying 300+ miles for the large pack, considering the market these cars are geared towards, those prelim EPA estimates they have on the web site have to be AWD. You'd seriously piss off everyone if they have been all sneaky about that and not mention those estimates were with 2 wheels running until now. Also, MT mentioned in the article that running in "conserve" mode would be more efficient, leading me to believe that my guess is right and that the EPA estimates were done with AWD.
1. Could also be that the car has some degradation already. We don't know how long their test vehicle has been in service and the highest degradation happens in the first year. Also, as with Tesla's, the mileage remaining you're seeing on the screen is based off an algorithm. Basically, the computer is guessing a remaining mileage number which isn't exactly accurate compared to a % number.
This is interesting.
- I read this as 301 mile "rated" range. Would have loved more out of that "+", but this is fine. Wonder if it takes tires and settings into account for the display range. (I only show % SoC on Tesla because the range estimate is useless without those factors included.)
- I'm curious if this is "300 miles in Conserve mode with 2WD on and no A/C" or if that stretches out a few more miles. Hopefully the latter - I assume EPA cycles don't use funky range extender modes.
- Surprised that "Daily" is well below 70% SoC when Tesla recommends 80-90% and Elon has talked often about diminishing returns in <90% daily charging. Neither here nor there but it's interesting.
Would be quite a nice surprise if range estimates were AWD and conserve mode takes you some measurable distance further. Will be interesting to hear the results of highway tests of this.
lots of reasons, lol. Like 0-60 in 3 seconds. While there will be lots of around town driving I would never call it puttering in the Rivian.
