Thanks!

Could you point out how texting/calls work via BT? The four giant use cases of the UI are mapping, music, charge/range, and communications. I don't think out of all the reviews I have seen the last one communications - calls, voicemails, send/receive text, voice to text, etc.

Thanks!

Engadget guy got a call around 10:15 that he ignored. the notification was on the left side of the driver display. It's a start!

I have a feeling it will be in the next up date. Calls are pretty run of the mill. It looks like it’s Google based though.
Thanks for doing these videos! +1 on this and I'd ask for a run through of Alexa commands (car control, navigation, media, etc.) and other voice interactions with the phone for calls/texts.

I have reservations for the R1T (October 2021 so maybe 50k-ish), Lightening (first 3000) and CyberTruck (first 1000). The R1T is my favorite overall but we are a Tesla family and I can only imagine how i would grow very tired of the attention a a Cybertruck would bring. Are you getting mobbed everywhere or mostly just gathering attention from us EV nerds?
The good news is the cyber truck isn't a real product yet, just a concept car. By the time they actually produce it (if they do), there will be so many other electric trucks on the road nobody will care!

Thank you, but that has no information on the Payload rating. It's most likely on a secondary label as it's required by law. My Guess is 8532 lbs - 7150 lbs for your build = ~ 1,382 lbs for the Payload. One would think at this point in time, Rivian would communicate with customers the actual ratings of their vehicles so we are not left to guesswork. But this is Rivian and for no known reason they hate to share specifications.

Shoot. I have been worried about the Tonneau cover since seeing them all disabled for “safety” reasons at the first mile event in Sonoma. Clearly these things are going to be a problem. Bummer.

I had assumed there would be automotive fuses for the 12v circuits, no?

@Iwantatesla I never owned an EV so forgive me if the question sounds stupid in anyway. Can you tell me if R1T has a coasting mode so Regen is not used when you lift your foot off the go pedal and only used when you use the break? In other words, how would you minimize the use of regen in R1T?
