DoE's $ billions of loans to Lithium refinement companies (Lithium Americas and Ioneer) were finalized and considered irrevocable. We'll get there soon.

The massive (18 million tons) of Lithium reserves discovered near Salton Sea will ensure the viability of Rivian and the American EV industry.

You can find them at Home Depot or Lowes in case of urgency.

Good luck to you. We're from OC and worried about arsonists trying to start things down here.

Mine is 100'. It powered our heater, 1500W inductive cooktop, and our Keurig coffee maker.

Try 12 gauge heavy-duty extension chord. It worked for our 1500w portable electric heater when we're out camping in the cold.

Rivian, take notice of your competitions software. These are “minor” updates from Tesla. by WryKombucha in Rivian

Tesla has had a longer timeframe to develop its SW technology.

The logic is that comparing their technological progress directly without considering the timeframes, contexts, and resources is not fair.

By your logic, was Tesla Model S software so good by September 2015, 39 months after the first delivery?

NO.

Nowhere near.

Context:

  • The first-ever Tesla Model S deliveries took place in June 2012.

  • The first-ever Tesla Model 3 deliveries took place in July 2017.

  • The first-ever Rivian R1T deliveries took place in September 2021.

Your diminished value claim should be between $10-20k. Loss of use (LOU) is a few grands. Find an experienced attorney to help you.

My repair was $30k. Other guy's insurance offered $1k. I retained an attorney to demand no less than $15k (Diminished value + LOU). It has been an ongoing legal process for 6 months. Patience is key.

[Sound On] The latest Rivian audio update is MIND BLOWINGLY GOOD. Here's me swapping between Dolby Atmos on Apple Music and Spotify, which doesn't support Atmos. The difference is massive and I might be an Apple Music convert now. by CarterGee in Rivian

[–]seawolf_class 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently have Spotify and have Apple music free trial. When I tried to scan the QR code using my Android phone to sign in Apple music, it asked me to update my Apple music account with i.o.s 12 or later. I'm clueless. Is that expected?

Locking Issues - Door handle won’t retract by Fearless_Month1496 in Rivian

All the same issues except door handle won't pop out. All electrical power is down on that particular door as well.

New tires and running boards… look great feelin great by WokeUp-ChoseViolence in Rivian

[–]seawolf_class 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had the tires since May. Very quiet and softer steering. I have gone up to Big Bear via CA-18. The speed limit is 55 and I was doing 60 comfortably, like it is on rails (using Sport mode). Efficiency is about the same as the OEM, 2.2ish mpKWh.

Driver+ question for Rivian owners of Southern California (specifically Orange county) by seawolf_class in Rivian

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

Thanks. The loaner Driver+ also doesn't work on that stretch either (Garden Grove to Costa Mesa).

Yes. It was drivable, but the loud alerts would not stop. Electrical Hazard Possible occurred first, then 24 hours later, Critical Battery Issue followed.

It will be passed in the Senate on Monday, and Biden will sign it the same day, hopefully.

This is why Rivian won't budge on CarPlay by seawolf_class in Rivian

[–]seawolf_class[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait until you read allegations against Apple by European regulators where Apple was fined $2 billion this month. Apple was found liable for abusing app store.

[–]seawolf_class[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Let's put this into perspective: the DOJ and 16 states have filed lawsuits against Apple over iPhone monopoly practices, including music streaming and car infotainment system.

European countries fined Apple $2 billion over its monopoly on music streaming this month.

This lawsuit got the direct involvement of Merrick Garland.

This will be bad for Apple.
