First thing I noticed - totally agree

So strange on the “after August 2024” thing. Mine has a 8/24 build date, and I’m not sure if it falls under this designation.

How would it play as a VR game?

That’s pretty cool - looking forward to this. The lack of controllers is a huge gap

@typefully.com any idea why the photos are upside-down?

Some quick takeaways:
1. Charging takes longer than the Rivian route planner anticipates due to the truck deregulating.
2. Longer charges aren't bad when timed with a meal; the kids like the time to stretch out.
3. Driver+ and the hotspot are game-changers for longer trips.

In Arkansas, the charging infrastructure is lacking, but we have a 60-amp plug for the Rivian. It took some effort, but now it's charging well. No range anxiety when you can charge at your destination on long, remote trips like this.

Our final stop was at an EVConnect in Missouri, adding 92 kWh in under an hour. The charger maxed out at 119 kW. We grabbed Five Guys while it charged, allowing it to exceed the route recommendation. We arrived at our destination in Arkansas with a 35% state of charge.

We left Kansas City Sunday morning with a 35% charge, stopping at EVgo/GM/Flying J in Missouri for an 80 kWh recharge in 40 minutes. I really like the more traditional rest stop here, with covered charging and all of the amenities. I hope they add more of these along the route.

Next, we stopped at a Supercharger in Albine, KS adding 111 kWh in just under an hour while grabbing lunch at a local grocery store. We made it to KC with 15% SoC left, but topped off 42 kWh in 20 minutes at a Supercharger before dinner in the city.

We left early Saturday morning, using Driver+. Our first stop was in Burlington at a ChargePoint, adding 40 kWh in 20 minutes while grabbing breakfast. Our next stop was a Supercharger in Oakley, KS where we added 105 kWh in just over an hour while the kids played at a playground

Seems to be working on mine, though I am using NextDNS on the UDMP with unique profiles for both vlans. I'm not sure if NextDNS is acting as the reflector here. Found this pretty good guide, if you're looking at the NextDNS setup for the UDMP.

Definitely not - I’ve been checking the shop daily. Bummed it was pulled

Has this started rolling out yet? Was hoping to see this before the Thanksgiving travel week.

Hoping they add post history with stats, the ability to post replies, and a macOS version in the future 🤞

Incredible that you can still get them on day 2 all over Denver. Seems the steep price tag and lack of a killer app is definitely softening demand.
