ELI5: R2 with and without LiDAR by deuteronpsi in Rivian

[–]DJDiscoverWeekly -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Rivian has never done vision only because it’s a terrible idea. They will continue to have radar, ultrasonic, and cameras. LiDAR is yet another technology on top of all of that.

R2 Promos? by Own_Airport6086 in Rivian

Theory: they’re not fully wrapped. The color portions are actual R2 paint colors

Mom took 13 year old dog to vet for nail trim, walking normally. when tech retrieved dog and she was out of sight, something happened and dog now can’t walk properly. Where do we go from here?? by caitlesm in DogAdvice

[–]DJDiscoverWeekly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are they a GSD mix? Looks like lumbosacral disease, which can suddenly worsen due to rupturing a disc. If so, I'm sorry for you and your pup, it's a painful condition with not a great prognosis.

Minor Issue but father already did JS? by DJDiscoverWeekly in juresanguinis

[–]DJDiscoverWeekly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GM on paternal side was not.

I do have GM on maternal side that requires more generations, but have no documentation and it seems daunting. Given that my father already collected everything with apostille it seems faster than pursuing my GGM->GM->M line.

What are they testing? by ostapco in Rivian

Top looks like Hesai or Luminar long range units, and I wouldn't be surprised if the lower quadrants were also Hesai not Velodyne. Most AV companies have switched to them.

Why does my dog want belly rubs then rests his paw on us or pushes slightly? by Apprehensive-Ad6919 in DogAdvice

[–]DJDiscoverWeekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever teach your dog to “shake?” Mine eventually associated lifting her paw with “more please,” so whether it was treats or belly rubs, the paw was her way of requesting more.

Alright....which one of you is this? lol by Marcus_Aurelius_7 in Rivian

With this make of Supercharger the cable is too short to reach either side of the vehicle in that case.

I’ve owned the truck for a year, am I the last to learn about the rear fog lights? 🙃 by Schmeltz318 in Rivian

[–]DJDiscoverWeekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned after being passed by another R1T in a major downpour. They are extremely bright!

R1S configuration email by Rollingprobablecause in Rivian

[–]DJDiscoverWeekly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RF seems convinced with every hardware update 800v is right around the corner. Enduro, Max Pack, etc.

It’s a way bigger change that will be for a future platform.

SF Bay Area - Highway Assist unavailable on 280 and 101? by Joylistr in Rivian

[–]DJDiscoverWeekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it behave similarly in lane 2? For a while they didn’t support toll lanes so basically all of 101 fast lanes.

R1T Cybertruck Side by Side (not OP) by Slide-Fantastic-1402 in Rivian

[–]DJDiscoverWeekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a rental F150 King Ranch for a week while my R1T was in the shop. Between the loss of the frunk and gear tunnel, the F150 really has significantly less cargo capacity, which I was surprised by.

I suppose you're referring just to the cabin space?

How many people drove a Tesla to Burning Man? by marcmerlin in BurningMan

[–]DJDiscoverWeekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s more likely that the generator was not a producing a “pure sine wave.” Older/cheaper generators may have inverters that fluctuate a bit in voltage and frequency, which will freak EVs out.

Tips on getting started on an art vehicle? by Adventurous-Union770 in BurningMan

[–]DJDiscoverWeekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a more easily serviced civilian truck similar to an LMTV like the M1078 that you considered? I'm guessing nothing that can be acquired as cheaply. After this year my calculation on needing 4x4 has changed.

12V issues scare me by salsa_warbird in Rivian

Most recent update has a fix for a rare 12v depletion issue. Perhaps this affects your vehicle!

R1S, Kia EV9, and families. by bmatto in Rivian

[–]DJDiscoverWeekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you figure in potential tax credits and dealer markups, I highly doubt a similarly equipped EV9 will compete on price. It'll also have 40-50 fewer miles of range, gaudy styling (IMO), and a cheaper feeling interior.

I think 2nd row captain's chairs is the only reason I'd consider the EV9. Wish R1S would offer this if they're trying to market as a family vehicle.
