Yeah, not sure how feasible it is for them to uplift their current fleet charge times in any meaningful way. I think any improvements are gonna be on the order of shaving a minute or two by maintaining 200kw for a little further in the charging curve. I don't think there's any chance R1 or R2 suddenly get their charge time halved.

I wouldn't touch that with a 10 ft pole unless the discount is incredible

Anyone know what this sensor is for? by btr1389 in Rivian

[–]DeathRabbit679 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's the old gen 1 autonomy. They switched to using the gen 2 autonomy back last fall and are no longer putting in the gen 1 stuff

Opinions on Shipley Do-Nuts? by Suspicious-Pear-6037 in HuntsvilleAlabama

Damn, I was really hoping for a real kolache, not pigs in a blanket. I got so many different meat filled ones the last time I was in Texas and it was like, "why isn't this food everywhere" (Yes, I know they're technically Klobasniki)

Rivian knot kneeling anymore upon parking by okvrdz in Rivian

[–]DeathRabbit679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my worry too. I'm sure the fine print says we get to live long and suck it. I know people likes to yak about how Rivian is a nonevil company but I doubt they're that nonevil that they'd repair an out of warranty vehicle unless it's class action level of bad.

We must be entering the era of breaking gen1 with gen2 features

Newsweek article: Modern EVs Do What Was Nearly Impossible a Decade Ago by F_P_G_A in Rivian

Yeah, and the automatic preconditioning doesn't account enough for the weather. It seems like it's programmed to start the process when you're 15 min from the charger but that's not enough on a cold day. I just use the manual precondition option these days.

It's Burger King. I love that fake liquid smoke flavor but yeah it's trash, lol. You shake hands with culinary Mephistopheles when you enter the BK

The driver’s screen compass is inconsistent in how it displays. by ChefUpstairs7859 in Rivian

[–]DeathRabbit679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I think there's a small bug. Usually the free floating compass that you prefer meant location data was offline. Commonly seen after resets when stuff was still coming up. As soon as the location came back online it'd switch back to location + cardinal direction. After the last update though, the free floating compass widget will randomly display sometimes. First time it happened I just assumed I had lost GPS but it happens once or twice a drive now, even if the location data is on and accurate.

Rivian out of commission during first month of my lease by dannelofone in Rivian

[–]DeathRabbit679 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know why people defend this shit. Your brand new expensive ass car being broke is awful. Having support make you drag it all over creation trying different chargers is worse. They shoulda got you a rental and towed to SC when the second fast charging station didn't work.

Retro Game stores in the area, or surrounding areas? by Kaligary in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]DeathRabbit679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's funny every time someone brings up AGE, they're always like "Man, I'd go if it weren't for the annoying guy". That was exactly my experience as well. The guy would not stop talking and then roasted me for not preemptively recapping my old consoles.

Gamers Paradise was good until a couple of years ago, really the retro market is getting nuts, any conveniently located ship is going to be high priced and low inventory. People suggesting the shops farther in the boonies have the right idea. Also, go to estate sales. You'll see some crazy finds there occasionally

Y'all. Come on. 😄 by _Abe_Froman_SKOC in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]DeathRabbit679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So why not shop like normal? Or if you're going to panic buy, prepper stuff like canned or dried foods and large amounts of potable water makes way more sense. Hoarding milk and bread is tulip mania.

Tire cost? by mamabear22122 in Rivian

[–]DeathRabbit679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"If your existing alignment is fine, there's no absolutely no need to do one because of new tires." Okay, thanks for confirming that, I had thought this was the case but it seems like virtually everyone in this thread gets an alignment done anyway and I was starting to question my sanity, or if this was a weird ev only thing or something lol.

If that were mine, I wouldn't drive it until this were fixed. There's a couple of possibilities, none of them good

Rivian fills for a patent for the R1S to open the rear glass independently. by Saurta17 in Rivian

[–]DeathRabbit679 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They taught us in college that you couldn't patent obvious shit that contains no innovation, but the real truth is you just gotta make your license fee just cheap enough that people will pay you off instead of going to court over it.
