Yeah, that's the CCP and to lesser degree, South Korea and Taiwan's gig.We all know and Rivian has made no secret of the fact they eventually want to manufacture their own cells, so it's not surprising Samsung didn't want Rivian snooping around their plant spying taking notes, etc...
Just consider how much Rivian has lifted from.. er.. been inspired by Tesla right down to the center screen GUI.Yeah, that's the CCP and to lesser degree, South Korea and Taiwan's gig.
I don't think so, as much as you can get in any car and drive it I guess. I have a Model S and I went to the Rivian event here at Sonoma raceway and it's going to take a lot of learning to get used to the location of options and features on the screens and menus etc, like most any new car within reason.Just consider how much Rivian has lifted from.. er.. been inspired by Tesla right down to the center screen GUI.
I'm fairly confident as a current Tesla owner that I could climb in a R1T and drive it away and operate it with hardly any relearning required.
You're implying that Tesla is the originator of the center screen GUI? Not to be argumentative but here's a pic of an '86 Riviera T-Type I used to own...with a center screen GUI. Yes it's certainly crude by today's standards but it was a center screen, with touch screen capability, GUI.Just consider how much Rivian has lifted from.. er.. been inspired by Tesla right down to the center screen GUI.
This is like arguing whether Apple invented the mouse & GUI computer.You're implying that Tesla is the originator of the center screen GUI?

I interpreted their post to mean the UI elements and look/feel are Tesla-esque. This is not surprising, considering Rivian employs many former-Tesla software engineers.You're implying that Tesla is the originator of the center screen GUI?

But as HMIs or GUIs go, it doesn't really have the same everything or look and feel. It's just a progression like anything else. Tesla's interface isn't anything super incredible and revolutionary they're just one of or the first ones to put a big display in the middle and use graphics and layouts like a lot of other large displays with a lot of the layouts and elements that computers, tablets and phones have been using for some time.I interpreted their post to mean the UI elements and look/feel are Tesla-esque.
