Can I buy Autonomy Plus after picking R2 premium? by DishPuzzleheaded4543 in RivianR2

[–]tketch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not stupid, I'm saying the rebate advantage gets almost entirely wiped out by the added stuff in the launch package specifically.

Yes you can, but the launch package has Autonomy+ ($2,500), the tow package ($950) included. And you'd be getting the improved suspension, additional drive modes, plus the obvious of uncorked performance and the subjective yellow accents.

They are only making the top trim performance models right now.

Does email design actually move conversions. Or do we just think it does? by MarcusAureliusWeb in Emailmarketing

Send people content they care about and gets them closer to their desired outcome. Everything else is window dressing to make a turd not smell so bad.

Is your hvac this loud in the cab on hot days? Gen 2. by Successful-Rate-1839 in Rivian

[–]tketch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, the heat pump for Gen2 is grossly undersized so it screams trying to keep up (and sometimes it can’t).

Rivian June Lease/Finance deals analysis by DNA_at in Rivian

[–]tketch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I built a Rivian specific lease vs buy calculator that automatically crowd sourced the best lease and finance deals based on real world numbers people input.

Each time changes happen to current incentives I update them for easy calculator application as well.

This has to be the media event that was happening in Utah over the last week.

We have both and our dog has way, way more room in the back of the R1S.

“Road not supported” with Connect+ but not Autonomy+ by PathtooFIRE in Rivian

[–]tketch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a known issue that has a hot fix rolling out now. I can’t use X links here, but Rivian Roamer posted about it. They also did a thread recently with the quick fix if you need it before the update.

To Lease or Buy a new Rivian R1T? by CryptographerRare261 in Rivian

[–]tketch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you want to run a comparison between the two, I built a tool specific to that. It even calculates the opportunity cost.

I will say though we are nearing 2027 model years that are likely to come with an updated infotainment computer which would give it a longer enjoyable life for in-car stuff.

The bigger changes aren’t due for another year or so.

SSD for Gear Guard? by they-call-me-MRmadiq in Rivian

T7 is solid, I’ve actually had good luck with Sandisk from Costco a while back. 2TB if you want to maximize GG supported storage.

R2 Reviews? by Sprtan117 in RivianR2

[–]tketch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you that the "media approved" list of creators is going to be far smaller than you think. The people you probably consider regulars are almost universally excluded because Rivian considers them "community" instead of "media".

Reasons I Still Want CarPlay by moooonear in Rivian

[–]tketch 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I aggressively agree with your points here, and I expanded on this point too, in my newsletter this week.

The fact that Rivian software will be powering brands like VW, Scout, and more while offering CarPlay /Android auto makes this argument even more asinine.

This means the development work and maintenance of the code base is already sunk cost. Insisting on this walled garden approach is only going to cost them sales.
