My point is the feature should actually work as designed. Disabling at home is a workaround and a poor experience. This feature works in 2018 Model 3 better than my brand new Rivian. Silly.

I set home to lock only, but then when I go to open my passenger doors they will not open. I have to open with my phone key. I really if annoying. I hate to say it, but my Teslas do a much better job with proximity locking/unlocking at any location.

That's where the poor experience lies. So I disable unlock at home, but then I go to open the passenger door and it won't unlock without using the app/button on my phone. If they can't fix proximity to be more like Tesla where the car unlocks only when right next to it, it would be nice if I...

Has anyone noticed that the proximity key is way too sensistive on the R1S. Said differently, every time I walk near my garage, which my bedroom is partially above, my R1S will unlock or lock. I have been forced to disable at home, otherwise my R1S is locking at unlocking all day long. I was...

I’d love to know what’s going on with the Apple car key functionality.

I would prefer not having adapters, but it is what it is. That said, I would pay ~$500 or so if Rivian offered a retrofit. NACS is a smaller, more convenient form factor.

That’s what she said

Have you tried wrapping your car in tin foil? It should match the one on your head :)

My question is why on earth is this taking so long to enable? I'm really looking to forward to this!

If the two wall connectors cannot communicate with each other they will not allow over 24amps charging. In my experience you will see no error, charging will work, just slower/at a lower amperage.

Looks great, I have an Inspired Overland Carbonlite RTT on my R1S and love it. I'm 5'11" and have no issues fitting. The interior is 85". I use the front and the rear mounts on my Rivian racks.

Rivian is telling me they cannot help, and their chargers don't support load sharing. I guess we are stuck with the scheduling workaround. Situations like this are why average people don't buy EVs.

I don’t understand people’s obsession with CarPlay. It’s great for a rental car from Kia or Ford with crappy software. Rivian and Tesla have far superior UI’s.

Sorry to hear that, but I think it’s a good thing that the problem is consistent and repeatable.

I think that is what was happening. Good call. There was a random WiFi issue. Connecting fine now and it can work at 48amp solo again.
