  1. 1 of 1 Pebble Beach Edition R1S Quad auctions for $175,000

    Ha. You don't think its a PR stunt? We all watched it and are talking about it. They can certainly put out a press release. This is sus to me.
  2. Any recommendations on 22" Tire Replacement

    I came to the same conclusion and my local garage was happy to swap out and mount the XL 115Hs. They actually agreed that unless towing or trailering loads the 115s stand out for range and ride. I also did a GORK comparison of tire options for the first gen. R1S and you can find that here...
  3. Gen2 Compatible MagSafe Dual Charger

    Ordered. Thanks for this option @twraps. Does in make any sense to disconnect the OEM charger connection?
  4. Apple Watch As A Key works great on Gen 1 with WAAK app

    @doggkruse @SwampNut I've enjoyed intuitively testing to understand the capabilities of the WAAK app. First off BRAVO! Does it work every time without waking the app, no, but neither does my phone's proximity sensors open the doors always without me waking the phone. Tell me if this sounds...
  5. Apple Watch As A Key works great on Gen 1 with WAAK app

    @doggkruse I'd have to agree with @SwampNut - Climate control would be great and second would be to vent windows. It's very impressive and all those with watch who have dissolved key card will be shock to see how will your WAAK app works. Thanks!
  6. Apple Watch As A Key works great on Gen 1 with WAAK app

    https://testflight.apple.com/join/ChKdkTFo The WAAK beta is open on Testflight. I joined yesterday. Its effing amazing and behaves just like my phone. I walk up to the car and it opens. I walk away and it closes just like with my phone. No buttons to press or taps on the screen. Easy setup...
  7. What I learned from my 12V battery swap

    No. Instead of a two batteries configuration, my S came with a battery and capacitor combo. I felt the problem was not a big as I initially made it out to be. The folks at the Richmond SC helped me make my decision. Cheers!
  8. Apple Watch As A Key works great on Gen 1 with WAAK app

    Amazing! Well done, @doggkruse . I hike often and hate to carry my phone, period. This would be a lovely alternative! Thanks for advancing the cause and putting a smile on the face of many. I look forward to the release on the App Store. For now THANKS!
  9. I wouldn't bet against Toyota ....... Mirai XLE with a 402-mile EPA-estimated driving range. *

    Hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai Toyota EVs only accounted for 1% of all deliveries in 2023. That's 110k EVs and 11MM combustion vehicles. Hydrogen engines have been raised from the dead and are now on sale at your local Toyota dealer. The Toyota Fuel cell system Mirai is selling for under $70k...
  10. My R1S rear ended a delivery truck - results

    I too had a similar minor front end crash experience. It was my fault, but technology did not override MY error. The accident avoidance system did not brake to avoid the crash. My accident looked very similar and while my fault, I felt that it should have never happened. The repair will be...
  11. "Bluetooth key access unavailable" error after failed vehicle update. Anyone else?

    Thanks for the update @EveryAmp and @Ladiver . My R1S is currently at a SC for a similar issue/repair which started around the time of a successful vehicle software update (24.07.02). None of my key cards or key fobs work via Bluetooth, even when held at the door handle for 8 seconds. The...
  12. "Bluetooth key access unavailable" error after failed vehicle update. Anyone else?

    I just started having the same issue. I am thankful for the post since I educated the service support people about a possible solution. I sent a picture of the on-screen error and my phone's failed Bluetooth connection screenshot, but they still required me to go through the reset diagnostics...
  13. R3 / R3X design inspired by Audi Quattro, Lancia Delta Integrale rally cars - says Rivian chief designer

    Audi and Lancia were NOT the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the design, but rather it was the 1970s Chevy Vega Kammback. It's not as sexy as the Road and track examples but, they nailed it! It too eventually got a rear spoiler and wiper.
  14. Watch as a key?

    Old news but as you I still hope for this addition from Rivian. Rivian developing ‘Apple Watch as a key’ feature, native Apple Music integration
  15. Rivian hires new Chief Marketing Officer from Meta/Amazon

    Weird hire. Looks like her previous roles were on very niche parts of the business vs core. I'd be surprised if this lasts.
