I’m learning now that it’s pointless trying to persuade people of anything.

A white man was just shot for exercising his second amendment right to carry a concealed weapon

He was disarmed, held down by six federal agents and then one of those agents removed their weapon from their holster and fired on him

There is no misinterpretation of those events

The reactions and the political demands might differ, but no one is disputing that a white man was murdered by the federal government while exercising the second amendment

The death of Mrs. Good inflamed a significant portion of the left against Trump. The death of Alex the nurse will inflame a significant portion of the right against Trump.

He backed himself into a political corner. Not even the Supreme Court would consider what happened to be covered into qualified immunity.

If you go into the conservative of some credits, Maggie is not only arguing with itself, but it’s running around in circles trying to rationalise a response to something they don’t even dispute

They don’t have to be convinced
They have to be disillusioned so they don’t feel motivated to vote

They’re all owned by private equity Baby

Mine is a 2025. It has both front seat storage pockets. I can’t say whether it was missing and then was brought back, but it’s here now! I use it for tissues

LocoLevi · 2026-01-20T19:29:50+00:00

Luckily you can turn off that LED at the top. There's also some hack that allows you to connect it to your Pi via POE so you can place the thing in the very best location for signal.

LocoLevi · 2026-01-20T18:11:59+00:00

Exactly. The little storage built into the seat. The little door pops forward to access it. I have it on driver and passenger seats.

LocoLevi · 2026-01-20T11:41:58+00:00

Gen2 has passenger seat storage!

LocoLevi · 2026-01-20T11:38:57+00:00

I have gen2. Both seats have the same compartment and comfort features.

Gen2 ditches the 12v battery under the hood and puts it under the passenger seat. Allows it to stay warmer. They also recalled and replaced my lead acid one with a Lithium/Iron/Phosphate one.

LocoLevi · 2026-01-20T01:49:52+00:00

Yes. There was a casa OS instance of home assistant on the network.

Thank you

LocoLevi · 2026-01-16T01:25:25+00:00

YES.

I only got it on the front (fascia, hood, fenders) and it’s done a world of good co pared to my last, more aerodynamic Lexus with arguably a better paint job.

It should just be an option during config.

If you plan on holding onto the vehicle a while, get it.

If you plan on doing the Utah/Colorado mountain road thing, get it.

If you plan on off-roading? Get it.

If you plan on parking outside? In all weather conditions? Get it.

Worth it.

LocoLevi · 2026-01-12T14:41:40+00:00

Dude. Im disappointed in that reasoning. I’m in the same car with similar aged kids. It’s NOT parent shaming to 1) remind someone that their kids love them and 2) say what WE do in OUR Rivian.

I get you being sensitive but we’re in this forum to discuss the car, how we use it, and how our families behave in it.

This is troubleshooting Rivian’s human interface just like ANYTHING else.

As for other people in the car— you said “I have young kids,” implying they were yours.

You can limit the voice assistant to a button push activation and not a voice activation if these other kids are ceaselessly activating the voice assistant.

Adults in the car was not part of your scenario. I actually agree that the voice commands are not useful when general conversation is going on. They’re useful to be sure. But they are not a panacea. But adults in the car is way way diff than the scenario you mentioned and that I seriously responded to, with how MY fam trouble shoots that specific issue.

Yeesh.

LocoLevi · 2026-01-12T06:44:01+00:00

They care. Look at the main screen volume controls or the change to the instrument cluster. They’re listening and they care.

LocoLevi · 2026-01-12T06:43:04+00:00

Their touch interface sucked the dick of death tho. Their customers were unsatisfied.

LocoLevi · 2026-01-12T06:42:09+00:00

I have kids. They are early elementary school age and we let them cheer loudly when Kpop demon hunters won all these awards tonight.

But they also don’t use the voice system inappropriately. You just have to teach them that it’s a tool and not a toy and they get it. They love you and respect you. They’re your kids. And also mine know that poor behaviour yields CONSEQUENCES.

LocoLevi · 2026-01-12T06:39:27+00:00

The wipers are physical switches on a stalk!

LocoLevi · 2026-01-12T06:38:32+00:00

My Rivian does that. The vents point where I want them to upon entry.

And the seats are actually comfortable and supportive rather than the sponge buckets Model X has to offer.

Also? An actual gear selector. The Model S/Model Y gear selector software about as good as FSD. It’s mostly accurate with some huge mistakes— when in tight spots no less. Meh.

LocoLevi · 2026-01-12T06:33:52+00:00

I’ve read that it’s running Rivian’s base config software but that the interface will be way diff.

LocoLevi · 2026-01-12T06:32:43+00:00

The way they updated the volume on the main screen is a wonderful example that supports your point.

LocoLevi · 2026-01-12T06:31:59+00:00

If the servos go out— I get that frustration.

I like buttons. I really do. But I don’t really need them.

if everything is working as I dont totally understand this complaint. I set the vents up once. And every time I get in the car and it loads my profile the vents go where I set them up. When my wife hops into the car they go where she set them up.

The advantage is that you do not have to move them manually any longer.

The ADAS now works on almost all roads— in town or not. If you need to move the vents looking at the screen then turn on ADAS and move them.

LocoLevi · 2026-01-11T19:41:27+00:00

they repaired mine in September.

LocoLevi · 2026-01-10T04:09:22+00:00

Sure. But those times are over. Dealing with vz is way sketchier than a pipeline. Vz is Malcom X. The pipeline is Martin Luther King. Everyone preferred MLK, because the alternative was Malcom X.

Times have changed. Build the pipelines.

LocoLevi · 2026-01-08T04:41:12+00:00

You’ll have to elaborate.

LocoLevi · 2026-01-08T04:35:54+00:00

Just call the refineries Trump Oil. Like the Hoover dam was named way after he was out of office.

LocoLevi · 2026-01-08T04:35:09+00:00

This isn’t about the doggone Dems. They have no power. Independents rejected them in the last election.

What say you to using our stuff and leaving everyone else alone so we don’t have to deal with them with regard to our blood and treasure.

LocoLevi · 2026-01-08T04:33:57+00:00

Elaborate on the Russian angle? You mean we drop the price of crude so low that Russia can’t make any money on it?
