  1. Spotted: Apple Watch As Key for Gen 2 Rivian! (I hope it works on G1, too!)

    Yes. Fixing their awful entry system was probably among the top of their list for Gen2 features. It's unfortunate we are stuck with it.
  2. Do you consider Rivian a Luxury Car?

    I agree. My opinion is not a popular one here but I don't find our Rivian to be even remotely luxurious. To my wife and I, luxury is all about comfort and having full easy access and control of this comfort. The lack of even a handful of basic minimal tactile buttons and controls are a big...
  3. 120V outlet on when vehicle is on?

    FWIW I used one of those USB cables that displays the charging rate. Tested on a Samsung Z Fold. Charging while phone is at ~60% SOC. All Rivian USB C ports - 10 watts 45W Samsung charger - 31 watts So the 45W charger isn't putting out the full 45 watts but the 15 watt USB C ports are...
  4. 120V outlet on when vehicle is on?

    This OBD2 adapter only provides 10 watts to the USB outlets.
  5. 120V outlet on when vehicle is on?

    Thanks I looked into this as well but the power is limited to about 30 watts max and would not be enough to power a 60W inverter (which is needed for a standard 45W phone charger). Standard 12V cigarette outlets provide minimum 60 up to 120 watts.
  6. 120V outlet on when vehicle is on?

    Customers should have the option to have it on if they chose. It's distracting and dangerous for a driver to have to tap the screen 5 times just to turn on what is normally on in every other vehicle made. With an average 1.8- 2 miles per kWh, an inverter on standby will have virtually zero...
  7. 120V outlet on when vehicle is on?

    I have the R1S. Apparently the world's only vehicle to not provide a cigarette outlet at the dash.
  8. 120V outlet on when vehicle is on?

    I was only asking if the outlets can be on whenever the vehicle is operating. I am not asking them to be on 24/7. I do understand leaving it on all the time would drain the battery. Yes I tried different cables as I first thought maybe they were defective. I tried all the USB C outlets and...
  9. 120V outlet on when vehicle is on?

    The USB outlets provide anemic power which barely keeps my phone trickle charged. So I use a 120V fast charger to actually get a charge. I use the outlet behind the center console since Rivian didn't provide a single decent power source in the front seats (no 12V cig adapter either; this would...
  10. Vent windows rarely works

    That's what's odd. The other functions like pop frunk or trunk work almost all the time while parked in the exact same spot. It just struggles with the windows.
  11. Vent windows rarely works

    Hot climate here. I try to utilize the vent windows feature to help get some fresh air inside but the phone app almost always struggles to complete the task. It tries and tries but at some point just gives up. I can press it several times to no avail. However once in a while I get lucky and it...
  12. Blinker noise is annoying.

    It's a nice pleasant tone but way too loud. There should be an option to lower the volume.
  13. Rivian, please stop resetting my comfort settings

    I don't know why Rivian thinks it makes sense to reset comfort settings to "off" like ventilated seats and rear air-conditioning vents. It's annoying having to constantly go into the AC screen to turn on modes I had on prior to walking away from the vehicle. Can we make a request to Rivian to...
  14. Hurricane evacuation - Rivian versus ICE truck

    We're an all-EV household but if we were in your position we would get a 1500. You can very easily and inexpensively shlep 3 or 4 five-gallon gas jugs in the back of the truck and easily get 600+ miles of any type of traffic without having to worry about filling up. Hurricane anxiety is...
  15. Keeping Roof Sun Shade in Place?

    Add me to the list. Returned two sets purchased on Amazon for the same issue. I added the darkest and best tint available and it's still a cooker. Doesn't help that the AC is underpowered. I am not looking forward to this summer. Rivian really needs to make a good and proper sunshade.
  16. Simple Frunk / Front Trunk Lighting Solution

    We have a few of these in our clothes drawers. They are very sensitive to detecting movement so anything that may move/shift in the frunk while driving, even slightly, will likely trigger the lights. You may end up charging them more often than you're expecting.
  17. Sad world we live in (Houston charger cables being cut)

    They will just remove the insulation. And even if it somehow did work it would eliminate the ability to legitimately recycle the copper.
  18. Rivian won't wake from sleep

    My R1S with most recent software update sometimes does not wake up once it goes to sleep. This has forced me to unlock with the key card far more often that I would like. I would say once every 7-8X when I try to access the vehicle it doesn't wake up and unlock. So far it only happens at...
  19. The cost / benefit / value proposition for Max pack is fading away now that I have access to Tesla Network and my DCFC NACS to CCS adapter.

    I don't think anyone dropping $10k for 25 extra miles of range is putting much energy into a cost to benefit calculation. Some people just want the best available tech and all available options.
  20. Driver Screen Settings: Did You Know

    The main always on display also needs a "this trip" odometer showing time elapsed and distance for only your current trip. It would reset every time you park and turn off the vehicle. Every other vehicle I drove til I got this Rivian had this option. Oddly, Rivian is the least tech laden when...
