  1. NY - Long Island - Is this totaled or Not?

    Well after several weeks the R1S is back and looks and drives like new. Impressed by the Rivian Certified body shop as all is working as expected. They said, it should take 2-3 weeks but were on hold for the Rivian parts. Evidently there are no 3rd party part suppliers and all have to come...

  3. NY - Long Island - Is this totaled or Not?

  4. NY - Long Island - Is this totaled or Not?

    Thank you for sharing and that is unfortunate as I feel Allstate is going to pass it along. And I feel that level of repair by a body shop to any EV is not going to bring it back to the new factory fabricated product. I plan to reach out to the body shop for a written estimate and then try to...
  5. NY - Long Island - Is this totaled or Not?

    Agree and found out since based on section 1143 NY law the Jeep driver should have gotten a ticket. Now wait for the police report. § 1143. Vehicle entering roadway. The driver of a vehicle about to enter or cross a roadway from any place other than another roadway shall yield the right of way...

  10. Rivian Android App How-to (basic question)

    Hey, that worked and is crazy. Thank You! So in summary cant find a way to have the Rivian App talk to Rivian App but it sends the address to external apps and then can process a google maps shared link (after I added the Rivian App as one of my messaging options to g-maps share menu, LOL)
  11. Rivian Android App How-to (basic question)

    here is the basic scenario: I have an appointment today at my local service center. And when I go to my Service Center messages on the Rivian App and click on the service center address, it comes up with external options for navigation (g-maps, waze, abrp, etc, etc) but the Rivian app is not an...
  12. EVBase - Order lead times

    Hi carsly, To begin, my intention here is not—and has not been—to criticize or humiliate the vendor. If my previous note was perceived in that manner, my apologize, as such a tone is counterproductive. Indeed, there are complexities involved in determining final costs for customers due to...
  13. EVBase - Order lead times

    Hi EVBase rep! I will look for the credit but remain baffled by your approach to communicating the issues and hold ups. To start, when I look at your website there are verified reviews of the sunshade timestamped after the date I placed my order. How are you able to deliver these shade to other...

    Hello (not sure if this is the right place to make this post but) does anyone have experience with ordering from @EVBASE and more specific how long it takes them to send the tracking information for a Sun Shade order?

  18. All I wish for is hands-free texting

    As FYI, from what I see on the surface the hand-free messaging hooks (or APIs), which is a building block within the bluetooth ivi architecture is (should be) available and called MAP (messaging access profile). Nothing new or sexy here and but it works so similar to when you say: Alexa call...
  19. All I wish for is hands-free texting

    Interesting, can you tell if you're leveraging vehicle mic or phone mic? and while your device is locked/unlocked? and I presume same behavior holds true with non-apple phones, no?
  20. All I wish for is hands-free texting

    Let me preface by making it clear that this is not about Carplay or Auto, but at the minimum what I feel is a reasonable feature ask is tighter native phone integration, and at a minimum to be able to hear my text messages and have the ability to reply to or send text messages without having to...
