It’s a truck on a truck chassis with limited wheelbase compared to the R1T. I have a Gen1 Quad R1S and yes, they’ve improved the ride with software and I am sure it’s better with G2, but it’s still a truck. My kids can’t stand it at low speeds or speed bumps. It’s become the “I don’t want to go...

If you modify the car that heavily, I feel like they’re likely going to say everything is out of spec now and not covered by them, etc…

Yeah. I am kind of pissed because I hate the Pirellis - they’re super loud and probably give the roughest ride on an already not so great suspension. Feels like installer could’ve been lazy, but Tire Rack acknowledged the issue is widespread”. And I don’t need hard core off road tires. I just...

Anything is better than the old Rivian/MapBox maps. I have to have an Uber driver-style phone holder to use Waze in my Rivian (and my X ) because the navigation was just awful with routing. GM is better for me by far (so far). And no, this isn’t a CarPlay rant. I don’t care. I just my phone...

I actually just tried to have the Michelin’s put on and installer said they tried, but can never get them to fit on a Rivian, even though they’re supposed to be able to. Not sure why, but apparently it was a known issue at Tire Rack. I really was done with the ATs, but had to get new ones for...

FWIW, I found the 22” to be brutal for driving with respect to comfort. I drive on the 20” ATs, which to me, are much better than 22s and the last update has had an awesome effect. Everyone in my family has said something and usually I am the only one who notices/cares. Unless you have to have...

100% agree. A world of difference. I am on the OEM ATs and even they are super smooth and much more refined, but not a crazy couch on wheels that floats too much. It’s WAY better than I expected. Awesome.

Got. I notification last night and immediately installed. I am usually not in first wave. But I bet Rivian wants it out to as many folks as possible before July 4 travel. Really improved ride. Biggest surprise is ride is actually markedly improved in my S. Not too soft or floaty but not...

By the way, this is NOT tried and true but HAS worked for me and others in the past - at times. It IS possible to call or chat with Rivian and get moved “up” in the rotation for an update. It’s hard to come up with a good excuse other than “I need it now!” but sometimes that works. I have to...

I have the screen lag issue and it’s the first thing I mention every time I get a survey from Rivian. It’s Bush League for a car that’s not that old. My 2016 Model X display is much faster. On topic - I agree with those saying it will be a week before broad release. And, unfortunately, I don’t...

They have a broad enough employee base for testing. They push to these folks because they’re “influencers” and it helps the hype machine - especially on heels of VW news, etc. They’ll then take a week to just roll it out to us normal folks. Tesla does the same.

The guy who picked up a “gen 2” R1 on another thread said he has the new software - so even if it’s still in beta, they’re making deliveries with it. Wonder if Gen 2 needs that update for some reason… I can wait another week or so. I waited 2+ years for my R1!

So, ummm, how many people installed the update today? I know - it’s going to take a week or more, but one can hope!

It does not lock windows. I am sitting in my R1S now with per comfort on, but rest of car off. Windows work fine.
