  1. Physical buttons in a car/vehicle are a bug!

    Touchscreen controls are dangerous as they force drivers to take their eyes off the road, or at least for longer durations than they would with tactile controls. Just fractions of seconds of eyes off the road can be the difference between an accident or no accident. They are also far less...
  2. Rivian Front Headlights

    It would be very odd for a random stranger to criticize the headlights. I have a lot of close friends that all think the headlights heavily detract from the overall positive aesthetic of my R1S. Personally I don't like them. But obviously not enough for me to avoid buying the vehicle.
  3. Is the VW Scout better than the Rivian?

    Rivian's direction is solidly in the tech camp. Basically creating off-road capable Teslas. Rivian is IMO too heavily dependent on technology and the reliability of all that technology; many buyers are turned off by that. Scout has a totally different direction and is catering to people that...
  4. Is the VW Scout better than the Rivian?

    IMHO this is so much better than my R1S. Gas range extender. This will allow Scout to really penetrate the market since people can bring additional gas to extend range by hundreds of miles, essentially eliminating range anxiety. Road trips can be done entirely on gas, if preferred. The UI...
  5. 12V in Frunk - Factory OEM Retrofit Install Finished!

    Nice work! What is the maximum output in watts from that receptacle? I've been wanting to charge my battery powered tools but I know the chargers take about 250 watts.
  6. Auto on/off outlets setting won't stick

    Oh I've submitted tickets. Not at all surprised you would presume I took no such action. I've received no responses or feedback from anyone at Rivian. Personally, all the "features" that have come during my ownership have not improved my experience whatsoever. Of course for some people here...
  7. Auto on/off outlets setting won't stick

    Perhaps a trivial issue depending on your perspective. But it's very odd that you or anyone would defend Rivian's bugs. Some of us here on this forum want Rivian to succeed. And that means bringing bugs and flaws to their attention. To water down the issues as you strive to do, even ones you...
  8. Auto on/off outlets setting won't stick

    Thank you for advising me of the ability to charge my phone inside my home. I was not aware there was such an option. Thank you also for advising me that modern phones have batteries that will last all day and never need charging outside the home. I will remind myself of your advice when my...
  9. Auto on/off outlets setting won't stick

    The anemic USB outlets output 1/4 of the power that my 120V fast charger provides. I'll be lucky to get a 15% increase in charge in an hour if I go with your insightful suggestion. Obviously it is not a practical solution for me. I don't consider the act of charging a near dead cell phone any...
  10. Auto on/off outlets setting won't stick

    There is a setting that allows the power outlets to turn on when your vehicle is in use and off when it's not in use. It's called auto. I plug my phone's fast charger into the 120V outlet I set it to stay on auto but Rivian decides whenever it feels like to turn this setting off. So I often...
  11. Auto on/off outlets setting won't stick

    The auto power outlets setting was a nice update but my auto setting does not stick. I have to turn it back on every 3 or 2 or 1 or 5 days. Always a fun guessing game with Rivian. You just never know if any of your settings will stick. Please stop changing our settings. I'm tired of...
  12. Proximity lock set to "off" at home but it still locks and unlocks constantly

    Soft reset did not fix it like it did the first time. Now even if I have is set "off" at home, it locks itself. Any suggestions?
  13. Update after update and Rivian still can't figure out how to leave ventilated seats settings alone

    Title says it all. I'm dreaming of the day Rivian stops messing with my ventilated seat settings. Sometimes they're left on. Sometimes they're not. It's 100% inconsistent 100% of the time. I don't understand why this is so difficult for Rivian. Is there a legitimate reason why they can't fix this?
  14. Proximity lock set to "off" at home but it still locks and unlocks constantly

    Yup same here. Mine stopped working starting today. Guess we all have to get used to doing resets every few weeks. Hopefully the reset fixes it like it did last time.
  15. Change low ride height speed threshold?

    It's annoying that the vehicle height drops at only 45 mph. But Rivian double downed on this annoyance by not bringing it back up to the high mode once your speed drops to a sustained 30 mph (which is the speed that manually allows you to raise it back to high).
  16. R1S AC Noise? Jet engine

    R1S Gen 1. I made a complaint on day one to Rivian about the insanely loud AC compressor (inside cabin noise, not outside). Everyone (4 others) that rode in it said that noise can't be normal and is definitely not acceptable. Tech came out within a week and said it's not normal and they would...
  17. Parking Height? Potential Customer

    You'll have no issues with 74" clearance. In one of the condos we visit often (which has a very low ceiling height garage) the parking garage steel clearance bar is at 6-2". At the lowest drive setting we have a solid 2"+ clear above the shark fin. We have 20" ATs.
  18. Parking Height? Potential Customer

    For the R1S at the lowest suspension setting I would assume you can park in any garage unless it's exceptionally low where average tall people would be unable to stand up straight without hitting their head. The lowest ride setting is lower than the clearance height of some compact SUVs and all...
  19. Proximity lock set to "off" at home but it still locks and unlocks constantly

    Anyone else have this issue? I know my home setting is correct because the camera is set to off at home and it stays off when at home. But the locking and unlocking is constant.
  20. Rear Display USB Port Question

    I used a USB power meter and the most I got out of any of the USB ports is 12 watts.
