100k car but heater, heated seats and steering does not work

[mmcool]

R1s gen 1 2024

Heated seats and steering - only works sometimes and when it works best it gets Luke warm.

Heater- sometimes it works, sometimes it does not work, at times it throws cold air in front and warm in second row

Defogger - only works in high mode.

Is it just me?

Seats work very well on mone. Steering doesn't get too warm, but works almost instantly.

On my G1 all that stuff works fine...heated wheel could have more capacity.

How about heating?

It's enough for PNW. I hate not being able to turn off AC like ICE cars though. I don't want like my cars smelling musty like an old cab. I have to use some BS tricks to dry the coils once a few days.

Heating works well in my gen 1. Eats through battery like crazy though

Have you talked to Rivian service? That seems like a more prudent plan than asking us internet randos.

Thx, I wanted to confirm this is not norm, before reaching out to rivian.

Sometimes the collective of the forums knows alot more than service people....so I understand why OP would ask on a forum like this.

Also, where the OP lives service is a four month wait. A very cold, wintery four months.

Welcome to Rivian ownership. Most likely your issues will seem to resolve, then break again, then resolve again. Then break. I hope this is your only issue!

Are you really hoping it's the only issue for OP or want it to break over and over?

Heater is a common topic on the forums. Big issue seems to be improper settings. Search the forum, quite a few threads about it. Mine works great but obviously ymmv. Good luck. ?

My experience with 2022 R1T
- temp around 72-74
-auto (leave back vents on, if I turn off back vents, fronts get cold)
Occasionally have to turn off and on if not warm.

Maybe for you, not for most.
