Rivian's use mapbox too. Their directions are decent, but live traffic is not as accurate as Waze/Google maps/Apple maps. I tend to run waze concurrently on my phone for the police alerts. I pay for premium data on the Tesla (and will pay for Connect+ on the Rivian eventually) and enjoy having the satellite view that it offers.
can we please leave all the tesla talk to any of the load of other tesla threads? please?

problem is, anyone like allen with a gen 1 is going to take a massive depreciation hit.
it's a price for innovation and early adopters for sure. iphone 4 anyone?
I got mine for like $20k off which takes the edge off my biggest concern is how many of the Bosch motors they have stocked up if anything goes wrong
Edit: no cicadas in this brood for us. I'm sure we'll be due in the next one. My first summer in NJ was a big cicada season and that was just about 11 years ago
Not all are perfect or been so lucky. My friend has a ‘23 MYLR and ‘22 M3LR. On the Y, the gap between his door panel and dash is larger on the passenger side than it is on the driver side. He’s had 3 rattles early on. Text from him “This Fremont factory build Model 3 is amazing. Nothing wrong with it. The Austin built Y has some rattles and the dash is misaligned. That’s all I can think of right now.”
Also both Model 3s I rented had this separation on the seat. I kept the pic to inform the owner. One was a ‘22 Model 3 with 1800 miles
that seat cover issue happened on my MYP. Was fixed in 2 minutes by mobile service. Apparently they were using a screw that was too short to hold the plastic seat cover fully in place. I believe it impacted 2021 and 2022 Y's and 3's.
Another Gen 2 oof for Gen 1 owners. Anyone who had the default 21in wheels are going to be very limited in tire choices moving forward. Gen 2 only has 20 and 22 inch options and the Pirellis that come stock on the 21s are expensive and wear poorly. Michelin was supposed to release a 21 inch option, but that's still vaporware.
Glad I opted into the 20s with the all-terrain package
Aftermarket wireless charger. It's got magsafe pucks underneath to hold the phones in place. Works really well
Bad shot in a busy parking lot, but there was an R1T in the background so I had to take it This is in the low suspension setting because the structure isn't particularly tall.
Companies can't get everything right on their own! I looked at the new wireless chargers that Rivian is launching with the Gen 2 and I don't think it addresses the issue of the phones sliding. Middle divider is nice, but phones slipping on acceleration/braking hasn't been resolved
The only thing I don't like about it is the coin slot. I'd prefer to combine it with the one to the left and have another larger block. I keep my meter coins out of sight
my biggest concern is how many of the Bosch motors they have stocked up if anything goes wrong
