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... 🤦
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...

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

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...
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...
