Ahh. I guess I'm thinking like a tesla owner where there is no button and the car locks the cable in (even when car is unlocked).

That will be nice. We use a chargepoint + adaptor for our 3 and we have to use the app to unlock the charger each time we unplug. Which seems minor. But it's annoying (especially when the tesla app is terrible at connecting.to the car and/or waking it up.

Speaking of...have you noticed any delay in opening the app after the truck has been "asleep" for awhile and getting to a point you can see data or issue commands?
Sounds like Tesla went backwards a little on the M3, on my MS the charge cable locks when the door locks and unlocks when they unlock. Just walking up to the car releases the lock on the cable for easy removal.

Question might have been missed (or else I missed the answer) so I'll ask again: how are the Rivian maps/nav? Have you used it to get to the grocery store? So much obsession around here for carplay; kinda wondering whether or not v1 is any good. (Could not test at First Drive event.)

Hey @timesinks if you would drive from my house in N Seattle to Mazama via I-90 (the long way in winter) and let me know:

1) how long you needed to charge in Leavenworth
2) SOC upon arrival

I’d really appreciate it ?

It's definitely not Google Maps, but it gets the job done. No lane assist or whatever Google calls it, but it'll get you there. Voice prompts are a little robotic and don't pause playing music, but can be switched to chimes instead of voice. In vehicle Alexa can get directions and start in vehicle nav, so that's nice.

There can be depending on network state and signal strength. It'll tell me it's offline in the app for a bit (maybe 10-30 sec) before it connects, but only some times.

Can you turn on the heated seats (or steering wheel) from the app? When conditioning the cabin...

Can you "keep" climate when you run into a store? Like Tesla...

Does it have auto heated seats? Or do you have to constantly adjust it?

Sorry for the dark photo. I can get a better one tomorrow if you like.

This was above and beyond! Thank you so much! The visibility is worse than our C-Max but much better than I was imagining.

Is there a way to send an address from google/apple maps apps to the Rivian? With my Tesla on iOS, you would use the share button on those apps to send to the Tesla app and that would start navigation on car. Super useful.

Piggybacking on the map questions: does the map show which highways are Driver+ enabled?

Are you on Rivian insurance? I am curious to know if they do something similar to Tesla and base it off a driving score.
Apologies if this has already been answered as I haven't finished reading the entire thread yet.

I don't have my R1T yet (perhaps by the end of next week), but I am in the middle of the 8 step Transaction Process and have completed the insurance step. The process was pretty simple, but it took the Insurance Specialist several tries to get it right. There was no mention of a driving score. The only requirement was to send copies of the Declaration pages of all of your insurance policies. After a few days the specialist will send you a quote from Nationwide and another insurance company called Cincinnati Insurance. Then it's up to you to decide if you will accept their offer, or keep your own. Pretty straightforward.

I was told by the Rivian Insurance agent that the only thing they monitor on the car to impact rates is your utilization of Driver+ features.

It simply tells you the cabin is warm or cool and you say cool down or warm up. It may do those things, but you don't have individual control.

No, unless someone is in the vehicle.

Manual.

No. You can use the find my truck feature from the app to see the vehicle position, though.
