The R2s have invisible cloak mode turned on until the 9th.......

I was told by the Boise SC that SLC does already have demo R2s. Boise didn't have one last week when I was there for an alignment.

The demo vehicles should come with a warranty as if new, if you buy direct from Rivian. Soooo, unless you plan on keeping the vehicle long term, your warranty will be covering the HV battery for a long time. The loss of range over time is a lot of hype and has been shown to be a lot less than...

No there aren't any announcements that production of the R1 platform was being phased out. Considering they haven't officially started shipping the R2, if they discontinued the R1 they wouldn't have anything but the EDV to sell at least for another week or two. Looking at the Rivian website I...

It sounds like Rivian did the right thing. Intermittent problems such as a loose wire can be very difficult to diagnose. I always use the analogy of going to the doctor and not having the symptoms once you get there; how is the doctor supposed to diagnose your illness if you don't have any...

Based on your comment, diplomacy is important as well as what the warranty says. I'm not sure I'd approach the "Rivian person" with "you were incorrect", but perhaps, suggest that they may not be aware of the earlier warranty terms that weren't changed by the Rivian change at a later date and...

Think of the range estimate in an EV like the Distance To Empty gauge in an ICE vehicle. Just like an ICE vehicle, if you are a lead foot on the go-pedal you won't get the estimated distance. Just like an ICE vehicle if you've been doing mostly highway miles in eco engine mode and you start...

Most jump packs will work as long as they have the ability to put out 30 amps. Your lead acid cells may be listed for 12v but when fully charged they are closer to 14v. A lithium jumper pack should work fine.

Maybe Rivian can write some code to pop up the owner's manual on both screens when the charging cable is plugged in? AI can help pick the section to display; for example when one tire starts getting low pressure, they could pop up everything you wanted to know about tire maintenance and jacking...

Considering you are leasing and it would be no cost to you (execpt some time), you should have someone (bodyshop) inspect the frame and take a look around underneath. If the other guy's vehicle was "pretty messed up" as you say there could be concealed damage to your frame as suggested above...

I called service, they had me do a hard reset. It came back up and I still can't access location of the vehicle. The cloud error was intermittent so it might pop up later rather than sooner? They scheduled an appointment for me for Friday at the local SC. We will see what service has to say...

Interesting, I've been having "No Cloud Connection" issues with the Rivian app since the update. I tried to reinstall the app just to see if ti would clear and I'm still getting the same error. Similar to you, it will connect for a short time and then give me the error again. I haven't...

I get pissed at my blender when it makes noises that sound like a California YUPPIE. o_O Other voices would be fun but I could care less what a machine sounds like as long as it can be heard and understood. I guess I have more important things in life to rant about than an AI voice?

Emporia chargers can load share. If you get their Vue device you can also monitor loads in your panel. Their charger can talk to their Vue and load shed when the loads in the house exceed the panel's rating. Their support is excellent, I've had them go beyond warranty to replace hardware. My...

No I suggested the backup sensor as I had some for my FJ that were close to $1000 each when I went to purchase them a couple of years ago. I probably should have looked for a better example before posting instead of using my older history, my bad. At the same time, I've run across plenty of...
