    What menu item are they referring to, here? Vehicle --> Location

    Hello, I'm back again with another dumb question. Bullet point #5 on the list on the right: "Open the Vehicle tab, and choose Location": But you can see in the Vehicle tab, there are menu options for "Display and Lighting", "Access", "Driver Assistance", "Units", "Updates", and "Service"...

    I must've gotten a gem (HVAC humor)...

    I know everyone loves a good complaint about Rivian heating efficiency (or lack thereof). Mine has always been great (hopefully I don't jinx it by posting this). It's been cold and snowing where I am the past few weeks, and my wife (who is perpetually cold) actually complained recently because...

    Some thoughts from the garage cats on Chromecast & YouTube app...

    Garage cats not impressed with Chromecast support. I tried to watch some movies through Plex app and it was a stuttery experience. We have Chromecasts on all our TV's so I definitely consider myself knowledgeable. Old truck with Android Auto could play Plex no problem. Maybe I need to move...

    I don't usually drive to Maryland but when I do...

    It's because I'm going to the Gaithersburg SC, LOL. Six weeks to schedule an alignment (wasn't a long wait imo, they called me several times to move it sooner). Cost $360, alignment "got funky" after I had two front tires replaced due to a puncture a few months ago. Very pleased with the...

    If I should ask later why my automatic folding side mirrors aren't working, remind me of this:

    (she didn't actually break anything, but I'd imagine the mirrors are not designed to support the weight of an 8 lb. cat) Little dummy. ???

    What dash layout is this?

    So this is a dumb question, but randomly refreshing the forum page. What dash layout is this? (at the top of the browser window) Neither the center display image nor the driver display seem to correspond to any firmware version I'm familiar with?

    Opinions on underseat covers for R1T?

    Thinking about getting an under-seat cover so I can flip the seats forward when carrying large items in the back seat. Any thoughts on the Thunderbolt one vs the EV Sportsline one? Which is thicker material? Any issues folding down the seats while leaving either one of them in-place?

    Help me before I do something stupid and dangerous (Jackpucks and EV Sportsline)

    Hey guys. Having a bad day. It hasn't rained in weeks and my lawn would be crying at me (if it had any water). So the first day we get rain, I'm out there stuck in this torrential downpour because I also picked up a nail in my tire. No problem, I think. I'm prepared. It's a bit close to...

    Drink more lemons: Lemon Perfect R1T

    A friend just sent me this picture of a nicely wrapped R1T at a BBQ battle. 100 degrees here in DC this weekend. I hope people are buying a lot of his lemonade! ? Stay cool out there y'all. ☺️

    Lordstown Endurance on Cars & Bids

    Making the rounds on some of my local news feeds this morning. Surprised I didn't see anyone toss a thread up on this here yet. Lordstown Endurance on Cars & Bids. It's pretty local to me, should go check it out, haha. https://carsandbids.com/auctions/rxXpR6J0/2023-lordstown-endurance Edit...

    Got a refund on my Rivian insurance ?

    Over on other social media the trolls like to say "Insurance on a Rivian is 100x that of a normal vehicle!" and other such nonsense. I waste entirely too much time arguing, to no avail. But was surprised to see Nationwide actually sent me a refund on my insurance this morning. Guess they're...

    Absolutely sick of Alexa's god-awful navigation

    Is it just me? Or can Alexa / MapBox not ever find anything? Voice assistant is supposed to save time / keep hands on wheel while navigating, but is absolutely infuriating. For example, I asked it to go to the UPS Store. I'm literally parked in front of the store and it's telling me to go...

    Does Rivian work with Tesla Supercharger outside the US?

    Dumb question but I haven't seen it posted elsewhere. Can a Rivian with the Tesla adapter charge at a Tesla "Supercharger" station in China? How 'bout in Europe?

    267 Dulles Toll Road Tuesday 3/12/2024 9:00pm - Are you in here?

    Saw this Rivian passing me last night in Northern Virginia, 267 Dulles Toll Road westbound, 9:00pm 3/12. Looks like there's something wrong with your tailgate light (only half lit up). Just wanted to post here in case someone is not aware. Since you can't exactly see it while driving:

    I don't miss this at all

    I know our Rivian's have their own unique set problems and challenges that come with ownership. But I'm still in a whole bunch of Chevy truck forums, and just wanted to say I don't miss this at all. ??

    Look what others are paying for software updates

    Guys, I just needed to share this. Considering all the "doom & gloom" lately, another post about Rivian's software architecture reminded me of this screenshot a few days ago in one of the Chevy forums: There was dozens of comments but long story short this guy's truck needed a software...

    Sat in a Lucid last weekend...

    Spent a bit of time at the Lucid showroom in Tysons Corner (VA) last weekend. After owning a Rivian for the past year I wasn't super-impressed. I didn't see any apps on the radio (like how we have Spotify, Tune-In, etc.), and the thumb-wheel thingys on the steering wheel felt klunky. Also...

    Accelerator pedal squeaking?

    I seem to have developed a slight intermittent "squeak" which appears to be coming from the top of the accelerator pedal somewhere. Before I turn the cats loose in there to look for mice or begin spraying WD-40 wildly over everything, has anyone had this issue before? What'd you use and where...

    Truck started unlocking itself since Jan 1?

    I really hate to post another thread about PaaK / proximity unlock, but have noticed since yesterday (January 1) my truck randomly unlocked itself several times sitting in the driveway out front. Once I was in the garage and heard it (truck chirped outside of garage), the other times I saw it...
