apparently it's just a regular lithium ion battery, not solid state: https://electrek.co/2026/06/08/donut-lab-solid-state-battery-exposed-lithium-ion-fraud/

Sometimes I wonder if Elon is truly committed to manufacturing cars at all.

R1 Dual Standard is officially going away (my guess is to reduce overlap with R2). Perhaps there was some miscommunication/misunderstanding around that. R1 going away completely would be a massive stock price impacting change for Rivian, something that a publicly traded company would need to...

By design. Use pet mode instead.

always keep in mind that a strong cell signal does not guarantee available bandwidth. network congestion in the local cell can still make life miserable (think of a freeway where the speed limit is 65 but traffic is only moving at 15 and occasionally comes to a complete stop during rush hour)...

what were your suspension settings at the time (mode, height, ride feel)? the higher and softer the settings, the more it will do that.

1.5 hrs is just a hop across town around here so... pretty much all of them in any major metro area.

Thanks! Yes that's precisely what I was doing to encourage the OP to consider things from a different point of view. Things such as the trivial, proactive service not being the actual problem here (actual problem being the botched service and Rivian's handling). Things such as planning ahead for...

What phone do you have? If you have a really old and unsupported phone/OS, the app won't appear in the store for that device.

you would have been far more upset if the 12V died without warning. and why would you ever drive to a service appointment with all your stuff still in the vehicle? there is never any guarantee of how long it might take to isolate a problem, obtain parts, and complete the repair - that goes for...

shoot! just realized I typed AT instead of HT. my previous post has now been corrected.

That would be the location for an hvac ambient temp sensor present on Gen 1 and reportedly eliminated on Gen 2.

because they are unrelated products with their own development and release cycles. no need to hold one product back while still working on the other, especially when there is valuable usage data to be gained from launching the new Assistant now (information which will help the Assistant mature...
