Early on, there was no indication the battery was getting any heat during L2 charging. Rivian pushed a couple updates and it improved a little. By the time the “real fix” was rolled out, Spring was here and it was warm enough that we couldn’t really test it. Luckily, the recent testing by...

Fully aware that is the intended use. Those of us that have been on this thread since last winter understand cold battery temps (below 55) were causing horrible throttling during AC charging in Gen 2 vehicles. Manual preconditioning was not available last winter but would have been appreciated...

Sure, go to the Energy menu and select the Charging tab and then press the “Prepare for Fast Charging” button

Here’s hoping! Thanks for the testing @COMtnEV. We also have an easy on-demand battery preconditioning option, so this winter should be much better for Gen 2 folks.

Here in central WA, we have net metering not TOU, so batteries don’t really make sense for my use case. We installed this solar carport to add capacity to the array on the roof And it’s been incredible. Phase 3 of the solar goes in this summer, after which we’ll have 70 panels pumping out a...

Rivian, For the love of all that is holy, please, please, please use the incredible software you purchased from ABRP and fully integrate it into your vehicles and app! Top priorities (that already exist in ABRP): 1) Fine tuning for route planning (both in app and vehicle, shared...

Just like you suggested, I built an A frame temp structure and transported a large sliding glass door about 60 miles. Take it slow and plan out your route ahead of time.

My wife thinks I hallucinating (and maybe I am) but I also think the low speed driving ride quality has dramatically improved.

Anyone know which update fixed the Gen 2 wireless phone charging? It used to pull up apple wallet all the time because of the NFC comms, but I used it yesterday for the first time in long time and it worked without a hitch.

Maybe it’s total placebo, but driving around my neighborhood is noticeably smoother post update. The old concrete streets are in rough shape and its always been a jarring ride until now. I have some cool (30s) weather coming up so I plan to test the improved AC charging. Here’s hoping.

Thank you for this! What should we expect to see with this update?

Weird, sorry to hear that. I had amazing customer service from A2Z. They even overnight shipped my adapter because I wanted to use it on a road trip.

Trust your gut and go for it! G1 R1T QM is a beast and an incredible value in the $50-55K range.

So turn off wifi. Problem solved, right?

What 2 seater did you order? I hope it starts with 911 and ends in Turbo :) Agreed on all fronts, although some of the stuff coming out of China recently gives me hope for some rapid advancements again in terms of battery performance - 500kw charging is no joke.
