@theOGLindy Yeah I’m in the same situation. Ability to order but no intention of pulling the trigger. Happy with the R1T and R1S

@SawyerMerritt @Starlink I was required to go through a portal on Hawaiian airlines a few days ago with @Starlink . I had to watch a 1 minute long T-Mobile ad.

@Rivian_DD @Hilbe How soon before Rivian needs to announce explanation beyond 300k units in Georgia? Seems like if things go well they are going to be supply constrained for a long time.

[Michael McCartney @RivianFriend]

@ZachBeenvvr @Rivian Maybe they know they are going to sell everything they can produce anyway? They are so constrained on volume right now until Georgia comes…

[Michael McCartney @RivianFriend]

@Rivian_DD @Hilbe How big of a deal do you think this is? Seems pretty big to me.

[Michael McCartney @RivianFriend]

There needs to be improved education at chargers. Look at the number at the bottom of the post. Wide open 8 stall charging station and someone parked right next to us and therefore throttling us both lower.

[Michael McCartney @RivianFriend]

@Hilbe I did yeah. It wouldn’t even let me delete keys. I had to uninstall and reinstall the Rivian app.

[Michael McCartney @RivianFriend]

Having some issues post update with the R1S. Car no longer recognizes or connects to my phone as a key

App is showing wildly inaccurate information about car status and charge state…

Can’t set up Apple Key as it doesn’t recognize I’m in the car! Car is at 51% parked not 68%

@ChadMoran All of the haters forget the Tesla completely overhauled the way they train their cars for self driving just a few years ago. They started from scratch.

This recent interview from RJ does not seem to be getting a lot of attention. But RJ just mentioned he just recently sat in a Gen 2 Rivian driving itself for 2 hours around the South Bay..

@Hilbe Sigh. We are softly in the market for an E-Bike. This is too expensive.

[Michael McCartney @RivianFriend]

@Mikekantorski I noticed the same Halloween tidbit. Pretty good.

[Michael McCartney @RivianFriend]

@RivianTrackr I guess I struggle to see the value in this. Don’t home owners take the 5 minutes of time to figure out their time of use plan and adjust the schedule in the car accordingly?

[Michael McCartney @RivianFriend]

@KevinMelnuk @i_newm78 @Rivian This is highly suspect IMO

[Michael McCartney @RivianFriend]

@niccruzpatane Your tweet implies it was the Waymo’s fault. Was it?

[Michael McCartney @RivianFriend]

A Reddit user did some experiments and found the Rivian Autonomy Platform went through a dramatic overhaul in the latest software update…

@Mikekantorski @outerknown_live I love these shirts. They are RJs standard uniform!

[Michael McCartney @RivianFriend]

@RivianTrinity Yeah it’s been a couple years now and it’s been consistent. Our one regret is not going bigger.

[Michael McCartney @RivianFriend]

@RivianTrinity Yeah we have an Enphase solar. I’m holding out hope that Rivian comes up with a V2H system that works on current vehicles.. soon.
