Compared to other fobs, yes Rivian is awful. Different tech. Def still carry it as a backup as if the Bluetooth module in the driver door handle goes out, no phone or cards will work but fon can still work.
Rivian isn't aiming for self, can't really do level 2 even likely. At best on a straight freeway it will help hold you in your lane. Doesn't even hold well on slight freeway turns it seems. I really just consider my Rivian having decent ACC, that's about it (even then, without a resume...
AP soft here with auto and high Regen. Wished Regen was even stronger at times. Also I wish we could make the lower speed under say 45 default back up to high.
1. Regular manual air vents
2. Lose back screen, worthless now
3. Regular door handles
4. Just build software for basic energy and vehicle data, radio, and similar programs and use carplay/Android Auto for the rest. It's all better anyway and up to date.
5. Improve basic ACC and do t worry...
You can apply a $3750 credit to taxes for 2023 (next year filing) if take deliver on or by 12/31/2023. You surely pay that many taxes in the year so it will reduce what you owe or increase a refund amount. 1/1/24 at 2024 taxes ya file in 2025.
Glad they handle these more emergency situations pretty well. More rare but when you really need some help.
Agree that with regular service or smaller things, definitely way slower and unorganized compared to regular dealers. My delivery dent took months, truck sat with nothing being done...
Hmmm, pretty minor update. I mean it has a lot of small things, UI tunes, etc. Thought we would get some good functionality this Summer like text message integration, +music options, etc. Will be interesting to check out Halloween mode - wondering why we still don't color ambient light...
I carry the fob all the time usually, and a card in my wallet. The phone is paired also and works right now.
I learned (due to ours failing) that the phone, card(s) inside & out reader, all run off a small bluetooth module in the driver door handle. That failed and we couldn't use phone, or...
I'd say don't accept deliver with any panel dents or so. Those take forever to get fixed. Check the outside well before getting in an accepting on app.
We had a dent, they said would be a one day fix, so accepted. Took 4 service visits, 2 months, body shop involvement, was total hassle and...
Listen to FM at times. Usually Spotify playlist now. Hate and don't use Tidal. TuneIn rarely.
Other than that is SiriusXM over BT from my phone a lot which is a pain at times. That is one native app I wished they would release soon.
We had Geico for super cheap high coverage, like $110 a month. Moved to high coverage at Liberty Mutual though with the newer car replacement coverage included though.
Nah not Rivian, could help.
The big 3 have a ton of inventory building up at dealers so there is some slack before true impacts. Overflow lots are getting full and even allocations are being skipped. The economy is slowing for sure.
FYI, on your garbled bluetooth issue, I had that also. Calls with my Motorola Edge 2023 model (great phone) sounded like a high pitched android robot, and the other person on the call couldn't really hear me either. It fixed after the latest software update which was good for me, hopefully...
I have an R1T, like it a lot.
Have had 4 or so Teslas, an S/X/3/S and a few things I notice is Tesla estimated range is way over estimated, Rivian seems spot on mostly. Rivan is nice inside, quality is pretty good. Tesla quality hasn't gotten much better. Our 2022 S had seat rattles...
Got my cover here today (in TX) and overall it seems pretty nice. It is plastic so have to watch the edges, goes in well, seems like will be light waterproof as well. I will say to release it by pulling the strap actually does require you to pull the strap kinda hard, and then both sides will...
1. I think depends on your phone. Anything I stream via BT pauses when I leave the truck, or I hit pause on steering wheel to pause it sooner. But it is there in the same spot when I return from a store or gym, etc.
2. You gotta do this on your phone is all, change the audio output on it. I...
