  1. Rivian Care now extended to 6 states as of 6/2 -- CO/GA/IL/NY/OR/TX

    All the R1s are currently covered by 4yr/50k comprehensive except that Gen1 Quad which was 5yr/60k. The battery/motor/inverter warranty varies depending on the drive configuration, but ranges from 8yr/120k (Dual Standard) to 8yr/175k (Gen1 Quad)...
  2. 50W Mobile GMRS Hidden Install - Midland MXT575 (full DIY build)

    If you're getting noise on the line, you can always try throwing some ferrite beads on the cables and see if it improves if you want to try the other speaker-mic again. When I had both a CB and a 2m/440 ham radio in my 4Runner I had to put a ton of ferrite on the antenna cabling at both ends to...
  3. EPA Range Finalized / Published (R2 Performance)

    Drag coefficient obviously matters, but without consideration for frontal area it's somewhat meaningless unless comparing very similar vehicles. Which you kind of did with the comparison to the Range Rover.
  4. Forest Edge Interior Package Announced for Limited Run

    Love my double-forest green truck...was a shame they got rid of that combo. Whenever they get around to a Gen3, I hope it has enough changes to make me want to upgrade from Gen1 (better thermals / charging performance and larger battery pack for towing) and they bring back the FE interior option.
  5. Trailer Detected But No Trailer Mode

    I'll just add to this discussion a related thing. Definitely make sure you test your trailer brakes with the steering wheel button before taking off. This was back in 2024, but I had one instance where I didn't and the graphics all showed trailer brake application, but they weren't actually...
  6. Rivian Assistant - Wish list

    It blows my mind that they won't allow some things to be toggled with RA saying it's due to safety concerns while then requiring 5 taps and a bunch of scrolling to get to it otherwise while driving. Personally, I want the ability to turn on/off Lane Keep Assist (LKA) because it's super...
  7. What’s Coming in 2026.15 Update, Including Rivian Assistant

    My truck shows as flagged for the update and I see it's downloading now. So the rollout has started!
  8. What’s Coming in 2026.15 Update, Including Rivian Assistant

    That's...unfortunate. It's far less safe to require menu diving to toggle things like that. :rolleyes:
  9. What’s Coming in 2026.15 Update, Including Rivian Assistant

    I'm still hoping that RA will be able to change most vehicle settings. @RivianTrackr, if you get the chance to test this, the one I'm most interested in is turning on/off Lane Keep Assist (LKA) by voice. Use case is that the LKA is super aggressive on a very twisty canyon road and I wind up...
  10. Can you guess the forum member this one belongs to?

    This is actually at the RIvian Space downtown rather than the service center.
  11. Angle-based steering now working on Comma for Gen 1 Rivians!

    Were you controlling the speed or did the Comma drop 5-10 mph to go around those curves? One of my biggest annoyances with Rivian's HWA system on the interstate going through the mountains is how it over-slows for corners unnecessarily. I haven't bothered installing my C4 yet as I'm waiting...
  12. V2 Powered Tonneau Cover ($3300 installed) now listed in Rivian Gear Shop

    Curious. My 2023 with 199xx VIN was marked as not eligible, unless they've updated their database since they first announced the retrofit.
  13. Rivian Supporting NPR Tiny Desk Concerts in 2026

    Imagine my surprise while listening to an NPR Tiny Desk Concert with Bush and I hear a message saying that Rivian was supporting the series this year! If you like music and haven't stumbled across the Tiny Desk Concert series yet, definitely check it out...
  14. It's witchcraft, I tells ya!

    Is there some reason you even need this always displayed? The more useful one would be displaying the distance field from one of the trip meters, but I leave the gauge view up almost all the time and don't worry about it. The odometer is in the center screen UI in the About page...just not...
  15. 2026.07 Software Update notes - features & fixes coming

    Timing obviously depends a lot on team development priorities and pretty much any software group will see major shifts in priority when/if new stuff or bugs come in that take a lot of time. Just the nature of software development. Also why they tend to only go to a half year or maybe a quarter...
