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/
Yes, OTA will be to their interest, agree. But one of their interests - check that, critical needs - is staying competitive in the marketplace. If they don't provide OTA updates such as view stitching, etc. they are going to fall further behind in the competitive marketplace which affects future sales.
They will stay competitive by introducing the R2T with the proper hardware, then the R3T with everything polished! First-gen owners are BETA testers, no matter how you look at it (crappy camera hardware and no birdseye view). They will fix the easy issues with the second-gen (updated high res cameras), then the third-gen will get all of the cool, "wish we had" items (high res birdseye view).
I take your point, and not to nitpick, but I think R1T will always be the name of the premium Rivian truck. It won’t change with model years. R2T may be a smaller lighter cheaper truck. R3T? Maybe never, maybe a monster truck?
Agreed. Maybe the R3T will be a full-size truck that can actually be used as a work truck? I can dream, can't I?
Are you using "generation" the same way you would use "model year"? If we're waiting on the next generation, just to work out the kinks or add new hardware, how long are we supposed to wait? Model generations could be 5 years. Or 10. Or if you're Nissan, like 15+ years! And then when the second generation comes out with all the new farkles, how long do we wait for that model to have the kinks worked out?
Did you notice does Rivian have cameras in the underside of the side mirrors? Or the side view is coming from the camera on the front fender(rearward) and front of the side mirror (frontward)?Test drove a friend’s R1T yesterday. There is the ability to see front + 2 side cameras in the Front mode, and rear + 2 side cameras in the Rear mode.
Unfortunately, in the current software, there is no stitching and you cannot see all 4 sides in one view. Have to select front or back.
Also the side views are a little limited and it was a little hard to tell whether I’m parked perfectly parallel to the lines
Yes, it has cameras in the mirrors.
It has CAMERAS in the MIRRORS?! Who cares about a bird's eyeball, this thing can see out its ears!
Yes. As in don't select the camera screen.
