That's actually incredible. I pay a ridiculous amount every month for home (plus car) electricity, phone, internet, and multiple streaming services (including Rivian's). Probably between $1500-2000/mo, but I don't like to keep track because the figure is too distressing.

I always thought it would be cool if Rivian were to include a small, optional, moveable tile called the "adventure space" in the display for those who want to mirror something from their phone there that's not otherwise supported, e.g., a blood glucose app, a navigation app, a music player...

Nice to see them cleaning up some of this stuff, but I wonder if Apple Music will also display album art again at some point? Obviously, not super important in the scheme of things, but feels annoying in the moment, especially when it shows on the driver display widget but not on the actual...

I did the same with my 22" wheels, but grabbed the 115 load versions. I think I run them at 48psi. I've had them now for about 27k miles with lots of tread left (I also replaced my OEM 22" Pirelli's after only 17,000 miles -- totally ridiculous). Post break-in, it seems the range may actually...

Thanks! Yeah, it looks more like it belongs there. Appreciate the pic.

Wow. That's like saying you annually leave one sector of heaven to visit other sectors of heaven. You're clearly doing something right in your lives! My only concern was how bulky it is to have a phone hanging under your mirror. Is the new Comma4 mount any cleaner in that respect? I assume it's...

Also looking forward to the R1S (Gen1) version. This is an upgrade I've gone back and forth on since I got the car; a simple DIY kit like this may make the difference.

I have used them (on 22" R1S Quad) and they do definitely help in snow; less grippy on ice than chains, but still better on ice than bare treads (but snow tires are better still).

That's amazing. If you have a link to any posts or media on it I'd love to check it out. Anyway, regarding the quality of the sound. First, to be totally fair, the OTA tuning updates have vastly improved things pretty much across the board over time, from what I hear in mine and what I've...

Wait..... "1940 Chevy EV conversion" -- what is this??? I'm much more interested in this than music streaming.

OMG the fuse has been reignited. I find the music situation (not just this bluetooth/owned music libraries thing, but also the lack of a decent EQ and poor performance and support for the onboard Tidal and Apple apps), along with the text situation (coming soon!), to be the last vestigial low...

I have 22" Michelin Defenders and it handled the Austin snow and ice fairly well. That is, until I found myself on an off-camber switchback leading up to my house that had entirely iced over, at which point the car's weight started us sliding in the wrong direction. I managed to stop before...

Dead thread, but just wanted to mention that I haven't been able to consistently get the artwork to show in Apple Music in what seems like forever, despite frequent resets. Weirdly, sometimes the artwork will show in the widget on the driver-side screen and be absent on the music window on the...

Honestly my Gen1 R1S seats get pretty warm when on the 3-dash level of hotness. Not McDonald's coffee hot, but maybe something more like a Starbucks Latte after 15 mins of scrolling Reddit on my phone while sipping from time to time hot. Mine seem to do the job fine, but admittedly I live in...

Came here to say the same. The lack of any real text integration seems like such a basic and weird thing to have promised forever but never yet manage to pull off in a release.
