I thought one of the headline changes between Gen 1 and Gen 2 was the switch from off-the-shelf Bosch motors to custom in-house Enduro motors?

They have excellent crash test ratings, that is true, but they are actually among the least safe vehicles on the road, with the highest vehicle fatality rate.

Just got and installed mine. The fit and finish are fabulous and such a noticable improvement over the older version. (I had the raw 3d printed pre-flocking version). Like others mine sits about a quarter inch high at the drivers front corner and it doesn’t really engage the catch in that area...

Curious as to the use case for this idea. You would presumably have to wire them to the door switch so that they could operate on door open/close, so once you're doing that, why not add a power connection?

I'll be honest, this approach concerns me a bit. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you should. As a prospective customer my sole interest in this is for an integrated CarPlay solution, and I would imagine I'm far from alone in that sentiment. It's clear from the videos you've...

I would guess this is a safety consideration. Your door may already be opened, and your vehicle has no way to know the current state. Automatically closing it could be considered unsafe. As an example, there is a large tree that blocks my view of my garage door as I approach. I have no way to...

Looks like either the post here or RivianTracker may have a formatting issue. On RivianTrackr, this is nested so that it only applies to Alexa commands, not to the UI in general.

I was in basically the same boat and went with the Goodyears for a few reasons: 1. RIV branded OEM tire means fewer possible potential warranty issues. I do some occasional towing and load carrying, so having them tested and certified by Rivan is reassuring to me. 2. Easier for me to source...

Some before and after pics from today's install. Before: ~25k miles on OEM Pirelli A/T 265/65/20: After: Goodyear Wrangler Territory A/T 265/60/20 (still in tire change height) Have only driven about 10 miles on them so for so cannot draw any real conclusions but the immediate...

I would not worry too much about that thread or let it discourage you from any tire. The OP is well-meaning and puts in a lot of effort, but has a tendency to make broad generalizations and draw conclusions not always well supported by data.

Just ordered these through my local tire shop. Is there a RIV and/or electric sidewall marking that I can look for to be sure I got the correct tires?

The Platinums are much heavier than these and reports are they have worse rain and snow performance. Different strokes for different folks, not a huge mistake at all.

This looks really interesting and I've subscribed on the site but have never received any information from it, so I'll ask here: - What happens to steering wheel audio controls while in CarPlay? Can you still use them to control the volume and skip forward and back?

From the rest of your post I think this is a typo and you meant to say "I am now using it about 80% of the time," is that correct? Small letter difference but huge meaning difference ;)

Thanks for all this information! It's a bit confusing because comma's web site appears to show basically complete functionality available for Rivian. Have these changes been merged or is there something they are counting as part of "all" functionality that's incomplete or janky?

It's still 100% MobileEye for now. They left themselves some extra compute overhead and a way to take over ADAS but so far it seems like they have not moved in that direction. The features they are announcing are part of the currently installed MobileEye SuperVision...

To be clear, this was not a "phone as key" issue so much as a remote unlock issue. It's not clear if the PaaK relies on the same authentication as remote unlock, so it's possible the phone might still have unlocked the truck had it been in proximity.

I've seen this prediction too, and I continue to disbelieve it. The most efficient wheel/tire combo that Rivian sells is only about 13% more efficient (using rated range as a proxy) than the least efficient wheel/tire combo. If a dedicated range tire on a dedicated range wheel is only 13% more...

It seems like it should be possible to use the same stacking mechanism as the powered tonneau without the motors providing the motive force. In the tear-down videos it seemed like the stacking and unstacking was entirely passive (driven by the tension of a leaf spring under the stack), and all...

How can that possibly be true? Looking at the configurator on Rivian.com, the "Range" wheel/tire combo is only about 12% more efficient than the AT wheel/tire combo using the Tri motor as an example. It beggars belief that the SL version of a tire could be 20% more efficient than the LT version.
