Could be. Our BMW you just pull the handle twice. Once to unlock and once to open. The Lexus has a mechanical unlock lever that also operates off a motor. I can't recall how the Audi works other than having mechanical door releases.

Yea whatever opens the door to let people out. This is why NFPA codes exist for doors that don't require a key to exit a structure, bedrooms require minimum sized egress directly outside with no unlockable bars. Those codes apply to mobile homes and should apply to other vehicles including cars...

The other day I was navigating and the car said "road closed ahead" and then still tried to make me turn onto the closed road. That was as good as it randomly telling me to take a freeway offramp and then immediately get back on the freeway. Maybe I should switch the navigation to a male voice...

Are you a reputable electrician because EV outlets for apartments are the way it's done in tenant garages? Maybe all the failures of outlets is really non reputable electricians and not a reflection on UL listed hardware that complies with NEC.

Newton's third law of motion effectively says the weight of the car has to be supported by the tires. Inflating the tires to say 40psi means you need enough square inches of foot print. If the designed tire footprint is 6"x10"=60sqin * 40psi = 2400lb of load capacity * 4 tires = 9600lb of...

They also didn't mention that the button doesn't work when the car locks which is probably the most common scenario when someone waits in the car for the driver to return. Truly this stupidity is why I wouldn't tolerate a car without mechanical latches.

Heights are memorized per mode. (I requested this from Rivian) Highest is extract mode and not really meant for normal driving as all the droop is used up.

I have the same setup and find the Contact Terrain to provide decent rim protection considering the situation with having 22s. They are quiet and smooth on the pavement but not nearly as grippy or efficient as the OEM sport tires.

Arguably the R2 is the 4th model but never the less, people need to be aware that this problem exists and Rivian is uncooperative in this regard. Legacy manufacturers aren't all blameless either.

I've had the power steering switch itself off and wrench itself out of my hands waiting for traffic to clear so I could pull out. The car just got tired of waiting with me having the wheel turned to pull out and simple turned off. The heavy camber angle and road crown twisted the wheel straight...

Kinda silly all the people commenting about how it's ok but they don't own an R2 to begin with. They'll fix the R2 for the OP for sure but obviously things aren't worked out fully on this vehicle. Rivian has reliability and build issues if you look at their history. Lots of R1's breaking down...

Increase the follow distance gap. On Gen 1 spin the right scroll wheel forward or back while in driver+.

I think the dampers are made by Monroe I believe; not known for their quality. Air springs could be Firestone as others have said.

There are several cues that the driver assist doesn't do. I sent constructive feedback months ago. In the past, my feedback was integrated into updates. No luck on this. Human drivers communicate awareness to passengers and other drivers of potential dangers by nudging, as you mentioned...

Honestly I think you are better off putting together a set of 16mm (Ford Expedition/Freightliner) spares for $50 each. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/tie-rod-upgrade-cheap-new-compatible-parts.60971/post-1049348
