  1. Story: Introducing Rivian Assistant & Rivian Unified Intelligence. Unlock hands-free utility with Connect+

    Yeah oddly I got a notification saying the software was updated. App shows 2025.15.0 software and still in service mode 🤷🏻‍♂️
  2. Story: Introducing Rivian Assistant & Rivian Unified Intelligence. Unlock hands-free utility with Connect+

    The ONE time my truck gets flagged and updated within a day of roll outs and... It's in the service center getting worked on and my loaner isn't flagged... 🤦
  3. When will R1 get Gen 3 hardware?

    Yep. They just redesigned all the electrical systems going from Gen1 to gen2 on the R1 to simplify and cut costs and I'd presume that same simplified electrical architecture transferred over for R2. Moving to 800V would likely mean revamping the entire lineups entire electrical system from the...
  4. SSD usb-c vs USB

    Holy heck SSD prices are nuts. I bought my Crucial X9 2TB portable SSD back in October for $129 and now it's $226 on Amazon 🫪
  5. Extended warranty- help which one?

    Yep, all extended warranties operate like this. If they pay out more than they take in they can't exist
  6. SSD usb-c vs USB

    Gotta be fast enough, I'd expect slower than USB 3.0 wouldn't work but just plug it in and see. If you already have the drive won't cost ya anything.
  7. Rivian Service policy - no alternative transportation unless vehicle kept for 48 hrs

    Bummed, I was told today for my appt next week policy is no more Enterprise loaners, either they'll have a Rivian to borrow and will let me know the night before or Uber credits. Having the Enterprise guy just come grab me and have it all set up was such a nice service experience. I guess with...
  8. Is it me or is Chromecast just awful?

    Well on the plus side, I discovered a new thing I love about EVs. We sat for about an hour and fifteen minutes with climate and streaming going and used about 2.5kWh, so like $0.30 in electric. I never would have sat in my ICE truck idling for that long and it would have cost me about $4.50 in...
  9. Is it me or is Chromecast just awful?

    We are sitting in the car avoiding the rain during my son's soccer practice. Tried to chromecast Disney+ from my phone for my daughter and it's unwatchable, like 1-2 frames per second. We have Connect+ and decent signal as well as good 5G in my cell. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I just...
  10. Power usage of autonomy

    1.1 kW per hour doesn't seem very noticable. That means about 3 more kWh between DCFC chargers on a road trip and probably a negligible amount for day to day driving. For comparison, the heated seats in the Rivian use about 500W/hr so basically the equivalent of running both heated seats.
  11. Ineos Grenadier drive event

    So with the exception of being off-road oriented this is pretty much the polar opposite of a Rivian in every other regard?
  12. SoonishEV TubThumper (Rivian R1T Subwoofer Upgrade) & TopoCharge Gen2 Wireless Phone Charger Upgraded

    Well unfortunately changing pucks didn't help. Bought a different cheap set of Qi2 25W pucks that hit about 18W on a brick but still only around 6-7W in the car with the mat. Bit the bullet and bought the official Google Pixelsnap charger, same performance. It would briefly hit 9W with the...
  13. SoonishEV TubThumper (Rivian R1T Subwoofer Upgrade) & TopoCharge Gen2 Wireless Phone Charger Upgraded

    Good to know. Wasn't sure if I needed to sand down the black parts or if they were supposed to wedge under and I wasn't forcing them enough.
  14. SoonishEV TubThumper (Rivian R1T Subwoofer Upgrade) & TopoCharge Gen2 Wireless Phone Charger Upgraded

    @Sojhinn Thanks! I did A/B it a few times and consistently swapped between 12W and 6W, the SOC just happened to be where I screenshotted it after letting it sit at 6W for a while hoping it would pop up a bit. The plastic rim by the clips sticks above the trim a touch, can't wedge it under
  15. SoonishEV TubThumper (Rivian R1T Subwoofer Upgrade) & TopoCharge Gen2 Wireless Phone Charger Upgraded

    Soonish team/ @Sojhinn I just finished the install on the Topocharge using the Anker Zolo pucks. With my Pixel 10 Pro XL I get 12.2W without the silicone mat, consistent with what I get with a wall brick, but only 6W with the mat. Is this typical or a workaround possible? I have the shims...
  16. What Took You the Longest to Get Used To?

    No idle crawling was weird and still the thing that messes me up switching between my R1T and my wife's ICE Regen braking
  17. Can we add a different audiobook platform to Rivian?

    100% of the apps that play on your phone will play over Bluetooth to the Rivian so it's not like you can't use them. They just aren't native to the infotainment software. A minor inconvenience at worst. Carplay and AA don't work with all apps either. My medical CME podcast app isn't native to...
  18. R1T / R1S Sliding Center Storage System (Gen 2) by JC310Designs

    Not sure if this was intentional with the design but a takeout box fits perfectly in front of it when in the farthest back position.
