  1. Halloween drive mode (scary bug/mechanical failure)

    No human response yet, but the AI customer (non)service bot said they would take a look at it in December. I suspect on Monday a human will look at the ticket and get me in sooner.
  2. Rivian app Trip Planning FUBAR

    Do you have the "I have an adapter" settings set correctly? There might be a bunch of Tesla chargers but very few with built-in adapters. There are two different "I have an adapter" settings. One for display and another for trip planning. If you only have one of them set correctly it will show...
  3. Gen 1 vs Gen 2 R1T Gear Tunnel Differences

    I think it is the new Tonneau cover storage space taking up more space. Rolling up is less space efficient than stacking, but hopefully more reliable.
  4. Halloween drive mode (scary bug/mechanical failure)

    It appears to be designed to scare the #### out of the driver and everyone else on the road. Staying between the lines is surprisingly hard when it is only pushing on one corner. Has anyone else seen or heard of a Rivian acting like this? The camera is all over the place because the whole...
  5. Added dual Android screens

    Not enough. Almost enough.
  6. Does overlanding with kids in an EV work?

    I have taken my kids camping many times. I have run into 3 problems camping with the Rivian. Range and the CCS charge port. Campgrounds are often not super close to urban centers. Initially all of my favorite campgrounds were more than a 50% charge away from the nearest CCS charger. I could...
  7. Advice full ppf - clear matte or clear gloss

    I suggest a 3rd option. Neither In my experience Rivian's paint is stronger than the metal under it. You are more likely to get dents than scratches. And PPF is likely to make fixing the dents harder. And a full PPF wrap is more expensive than just having someone touch-up the paint once a...
  8. On 4th windshield!

    My windshield has also broken 3 times. All 3 happened on an interstate in good weather with cruise control enabled and set to the maximum following distance. I agree that maximum distance is uncomfortably close (does anyone use the close setting and so you risk getting a ticket for tailgating...
  9. J1772 AC to NACS adapter was left behind HEADS-UP

    So cleaning up litter is now stealing? Geeze. As far as we know it remained at the station for 2 days and was run over 17 times before it was finally deposited into a trash can. It may not have been intentional but the OP littered. There was no reason for whoever found it to think that the OP...
  10. Tesla's Dangerous Doors (electronic door latches) - Can Rivian please not follow this trend?

    Here are a few reasons I prefer electric latches: A button is so much easier to use. Especially if you are injured or disabled. Pushing a button requires a lot less dexterity and strength than pulling a handle. With a button, you can unlatch the door with a single finger, even if that finger...
  11. Tesla's Dangerous Doors (electronic door latches) - Can Rivian please not follow this trend?

    To whatever Rivian employees are reading this, please ignore the OP. Electronic latches are better in every way. While this is just my opinion and my preference, my opinion and preference is just as valid as the OP's. For every hypothetical situation anyone can come up with for why mechanical...
  12. 49% of Fatal Accidents Happen at Night

    Are you sure about that? Every time someone claims their vehicle suffers from sudden acceleration while their feet were on the breaks and tried to prove it by pointing a camera down there has found that the problem never happens when the camera is rolling. Clearly a camera fixes the issue. And...
  13. "Rivian says yes to CarPlay" - is this for real?

    From looking at the link address, apple.news It is surprising that they would confuse different Apple products.
  14. "Rivian says yes to CarPlay" - is this for real?

    Link no longer working (or at least it's not working for me ) Perhaps someone realized it was just an AI hallucination.
  15. How do I enabled scheduled charging without sharing location with app?

    My guess is that the feature as currently implemented requires the vehicle to communicate its location with Rivian's servers so that the servers can tell the vehicle when it should and should not charge. While yes, it would be possible for Rivian to rebuild the functionality with 100%...
  16. 22" Inch Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 - Now available at tire rack

    I have 3200 miles on them. I am at a bit more than 8/32 on the rear and a bit less than 8 in the front. I have not experienced the odd slipping/studdering since the first week. The most noticable change is in improved comfort over bumps and potholes. Grip is improved but not so much that...
  17. 1 of 1 Pebble Beach Edition R1S Quad auctions for $175,000

    How much better should they have been hoping for? I would consider convincing someone to spend an extra $50,000 for brown paint and a brown headliner to be pretty darn successful! 175,000 is nearly enough to buy a base model R1, R2, and R3. One car for the price of three!
  18. Rubbing sound from one wheel

    My first guess is that the broken strut caused the tire to wear unevenly or develop a flat spot And that is causing vibrations that you are mistaking for rubbing.
  19. Tosh Show - Interview with RJ Scraringe

    2025.22.01 I am really surprised that this might be a random glitch and not a fleet wide bug. Perhaps it is a Compass Yellow exclusive feature.
  20. How has your paint held up?

    My paint still looks nearly perfect. But I have a bunch small dents. Just looking at a panel harshly can leave a dent.
