    I plan on shopping for a Rivian R1T 5th generation by then they will have solid state batteries.

    Fun fact for any Twin Peaks fans in the comments: the off-road rally course is where the (now defunct) sawmill and (still there) sheriff’s station was filmed for the series.

    How much cheaper would Rivian car would get if they were to include physical dashboards with basic dials, and replacing the glass roof with a normal solid roof? Also, how hard is it to get AC and volume physical controls in it?

    • @scosee2u

      June 13, 2024 at 11:48 pm

      Physical controls cost more

    The R1S is my dream car.

    I have a R1T and could only do a 11.5 second 1/4 mile! This is due to the ttop speed limiter kicking in 200 yards before the end of the 1/4.
    I see you did 120 plus MPH in the run you did! Did they dis-engage the top speed limiter?
