@DirtyTesLa I can’t believe how many speed limit issues there are around metro Chicago. It’s not just Tesla’s, our other cars have the same issue. But it’s been true on that corridor for at least the 3ish yrs I’ve regularly driven that corridor. Can’t believe it hasn’t been fixed.

@RivianTrackr It’s kinda funny. Across country trips I really don’t think about range. Every 2-3 hours is when I want to stand up anyway. But our most common trip 150-160 miles each way. As long as I can do that without stopping I’m a happy camper!

@RivianTrackr My model y is like that, it’s a concern of mine about R2 as well.

[Penn Hollyer @PennHollyer]

@itskyleconner @BeardedTesla I thought R2 launch was pretty underwhelming too. Can’t wait to drive it outside of rush hour traffic in one of metro chicago’s busiest corridors…

@DirtyTesLa @Evautoalex I have only taken my car to Florida twice from the Midwest. First in 2023 and then again last year. I was blown away how much better the charging performance got along the same route and I thought my first trip was perfectly adequate.

@Hilbe Magic 8 ball predictions on how good the “launch” PTP will be? I’ve driven rivian’s a grand total of maybe 10 miles so far lol. Gen 1 R1S quad at factory a few yrs ago and R2.

@DirtyTesLa Allegedly

Model Y L sound system is insanely good 😳

Huge bass and no annoying reverb like some recent Tesla systems

@RivianTrackr How is r2 on distance roadtripping?

[Penn Hollyer @PennHollyer]

@Hilbe I fairly regularly see posts that rivian owners end up replacing their brakes pretty soon, despite not using the petal much. My assumption is the caliper slides seize but didn’t know if it was more complicated than that.

[Penn Hollyer @PennHollyer]

@RivianTrackr How many miles past 0?

[Penn Hollyer @PennHollyer]

@OutofSpecDetail I’m a little bummed by this result.

[Penn Hollyer @PennHollyer]

@BeardedTesla It’s slightly worse than I expected. Not surprising it’s less efficient than a MY.

Obligatory Portillo’s + RAN stop in Normal

@alex_bessinger Hope you don’t encounter a zip tie! The jack will be unable to pass.

[Penn Hollyer @PennHollyer]

@OutofSpecDetail I think I found an edge case!

[Penn Hollyer @PennHollyer]

@OutofSpecDetail apparently car screen protectors do have a use lol. I was driving windows/sunroof open and a rock got kicked up by the car in front of me and somehow got the infotainment screen. A screen protector would have saved me today! 😂

@RivianTrackr @mike_poret ICE engine

[Penn Hollyer @PennHollyer]

@RivianUpdates @RivianTrackr I’m surprised you say the audio is good. Maybe relative to other rivian stuff it’s a step up (which is encouraging) but in my quick test drive it disappointed. But I’m also coming from a MY.
