  1. Apple CarKey coming to Rivian

    As others have confirmed, this is true. Also, sigh. UWB works way better. Not a little better. A LOT better. And given how flaky PAAK is, this is going to be a big improvement. Perhaps read the prior comments. It uses UWB and is far superior in security and reliability than PAAK.
  2. Rivian App v3.0 now available

    iPhone 16 Pro, latest iOS. Showing 4% in the last 24 hours, up slightly from my 10-day average of 3%.
  3. Upcoming Gen 2 R1S incentives? Order now or wait it out?

    Yeah so funny. I'm comfortably into my 50s and don't remember a time when this was not the case.
  4. "Route Optimized based on battery usage" yet it switched to a longer route by time and miles

    Well I do always check Waze (and in fact leave it on in the background to alert me to speed traps) though I didn't mention it in my OP. By "follow blindly" I was thinking more along the lines of whether I'd even have even noticed the change in a route with which I wasn't familiar. Or that the...
  5. "Route Optimized based on battery usage" yet it switched to a longer route by time and miles

    Yup I've also seen that behavior, except in this case it wasn't a more time efficient route. Just weird.
  6. "Route Optimized based on battery usage" yet it switched to a longer route by time and miles

    Exactly. Thank you. And I always check Waze regardless though I didn't mention that in my OP. In fact I leave it on in the background mostly to alert me to speed traps.
  7. "Route Optimized based on battery usage" yet it switched to a longer route by time and miles

    I haven't been able to come up with anything approaching a logical explanation, so I appreciate your musings! Mostly though I was thinking how annoying it would be to have that happen during travel/routes with which I'm not familiar. I would've followed it blindly.
  8. "Route Optimized based on battery usage" yet it switched to a longer route by time and miles

    Pretty much the title. I was doing a 200 mile drive that I know well and do frequently. I'd charged to 230 (nominal, which has worked for me in the past without issue), and set arrival range to 1% since I was heading home where I have a charger and wanted to avoid the nav constantly routing me...
  9. Windshield - Too easy to get chips/ cracks.....Any experience

    Yup. Several chips in mine. Waiting for my service appt to get it replaced. Fortunately I have full glass coverage.
  10. V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) - has anyone tried it?

    Cool thanks. Time to do the math to see what sort of time I'd get from these.
  11. V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) - has anyone tried it?

    Maybe a dumb question but can these be used in 'pass through' mode? E.g. plug a sump pump into this, and this into AC outlet. So the AC keeps the Jackery charged, and if power goes out, the Jackery powers the sump pump (until the Jackery is drained of power)? And otherwise power passes through...
  12. Connect+ is Here

    That's good to know thanks. I'm going to start by not subscribing but will keep an eye on what I'm missing as a result.
  13. Connect+ is Here

    Thanks for confirming that BT audio will still work. Re: tethering...I don't know. If it provides the exact services that Connect+ does but avoids a $15/mo payment it sure seems like a workaround to me :)
