I did a quick search and couldnāt find a good match so please excuse me if this is redundant. I just read a postcard I got in the mail regarding a class action suit against Rivian from a class which includes stockholders during a certain window. While I would qualify, I donāt want to be part of...
Iāve bumped into issues where I wish that I could choose my Drive Mode settings (without the vehicle doing anything) and then commit the change with a button labeled, āOK,ā āDo it!ā āMake it so,ā or whatever is on brand for Rivian.
Why? Here are two examples:
There are times when my Rivian...
I hadnāt heard about this until I received an email from the L.A. Auto Show with a subject line of: Welcoming back Porsche, Rivian, and More
This was in the body:
We go every year and itās nice to see Rivian make a return!
After just over a year of ownership and finally taking a real off-road adventure, Iām giving up on keeping my Rivian... looking like new. :cool:
Seriously, weāre not intentionally trashing it, but now that weāve scratched a wheel and scuffed the lower plastic trim on a door itās going to take...
Maybe I missed something on here but I tried searching first. It looks like there are extra actions available for those of us with Shortcuts setup. Maybe they were added with a recent app update?
Here are the options I see now:
When I first setup my shortcuts, I know I didnāt have actions...
It just occurred to me that the blind spot camera feature will solve a turn signal issue that annoys some of us: not realizing the turn signal is on in some conditions.
I find the monotone turn signal sound to be easy to miss at highway speeds, especially with noisy tires and/or audio playing...
If I missed earlier discussion about this please post a link to the relevant post or thread.
I was wondering if future NACS-equipped Rivians, and other EV brands with native NACS support, will face the same limitations with Supercharging that CCS vehicles with the NACS adapter face today: no V1...
How did they keep two entire products under the radar until this announcement in todayās world?!
That was almost as impressive as the vehicles themselves.
Bravo on all counts, Rivian!
The Setup
Weāre in Palm Springs for a 4-day weekend and after a side-trip to the high desert yesterday I went to charge today for the drive home tomorrow. I went to the Blink chargers, started charging, and then got to work on email while I waited. A short time later a Hyundai Ioniq 5 driver...
We took our first long (a little over 560 miles total) road trip in our R1S this weekend, from Orange County to Paso Robles and back.
Before leaving I removed our temporary spare and put our full-size spare behind the 3rd row, just in case. I used ratchet straps to secure it to the tie downs on...
Does anyone know what this strap is for? There is a molded rectangular platform below it so I think Rivian was planning to store something there vertically but maybe they abandoned whatever they were planning. ?āāļø
Did anyone ever see a reference to something going there?
Given the lack of any power points forward of the center console storage on newer builds and the opinion many seem to express that they donāt need a camp speaker, I wonder if Rivian (or someone else) could use the existing space for a removable battery bank with USB-C PD and 12V automotive...
I donāt understand why we have a line drawing of the battery and a whole tile devoted to battery temperature. Does anyone else think it would be better to do something like this crude mockup so that a tile is freed up for something else?
I donāt think this has been discussed but maybe Iām not searching well.
Has anyone else noticed that the puddle lights with compass logo are virtual in the overhead view of the vehicle? I canāt figure out why Rivian went to the trouble of doing this, but itās an interesting detail.
For...
I searched here and couldnāt find anything for this so I thought Iād create a new post. If this was discussed somewhere and I missed it please post a link and Iāll ask to have this thread closed.
Maybe I never noticed this before but when viewing Wi-Fi networks on an iPhone, Rivian Camp Speaker...
Am I the only one whoād like to see a change in the time portion of the Rivian App?
This is what I see:
It took me 11hr 46 min to add 78 miles (39 kWh)⦠except it didnāt. The vehicle was connected to a charger for 11hr 46 min but it was only charging for 6 hours. At least I hope it was charging...
I wasn't really planning to make a video so this was shot on my phone through the windshield, sorry about the bugs! My camera work is shaky, and my video editing skills are... barely adequate. Still, I figured I'd share my experience.
This wasn't a challenging trail for the most part. My...
Iāve been reading the back-and-forth on the various charging threads and Iāve been trying to come up with a solution which makes most people happy. As if.
The closest I got is this: Tesla spins off the SuperCharger network into a separate profit-driven company so there is no favoritism among...
If youāre taking delivery soon then I hope yours goes as well as ours did! Things went very smoothly. Way, way better than any other new car buying experience I've had.
Everything looks great, and it is nearly flawless as far as I can tell. There is one minor issue: when the lift gate opens it...
Iāve been wondering about the R1 Shop vehicles which are a Launch Edition with the All Terrain Package.
It wasnāt possible to order that configuration, was it? I could be mistaken but Iām pretty sure the All Terrain Package as being shipped (underbody shield, 20ā wheel with all terrain tires...
