  1. 2024.43.0 Update now in UAT (User Acceptance Testing)

    My perspective as a life long software developer is that: 1) This may be one of those "iceberg" updates where a relatively small amount of visible change sits on top of a large invisible one. Changing the way preferences are stored may have required a re-design of some fundamental parts of the...
  2. Plug for Tow Hitch Receiver?

    It wasn't me, but it was my car. Sure, it was the driver of my car's fault, and I'm not blaming the owner of the other car for anything, but it's clear that the hitch accessory in my case made the whole thing worse overall. An accident that went from what would have been maybe $200 in total...
  3. Plug for Tow Hitch Receiver?

    Please don't. Bumpers are intended to be more or less compatible in the event of a collision. Something like this takes what might have been a minor cosmetic issue and raises it into a punctured intercooler.
  4. Can we please get Casting and Texting

    Where did they state that? Rivian's infotainment is Android based as far as I know, so it's highly unlikelty that it's incompatible. Also not sure how you make the connection to VW using it making it any more or less likely. Rivian has been clear that they have no business interest in adding...
  5. Plug for Tow Hitch Receiver?

    Sure, just about any 3rd party receiver plug will fit, it's a standard size. I just bought a back rubber one off of Amazon to hold my emergency access tool kit in there. I also added thumbscrews to the outer cover, which still fits with the the rubber cap in place. This is what I bought...
  6. Things Rivian Should Fix/Polish with Their Next Software Update

    4a) Automatically pull over and brick the car if the driver attempts to turn on the fog lights when it's not actually foggy.
  7. All I wish for is hands-free texting

    It likely connects as if it's a phone call, so it would supersede whatever entertainment selection you have made. There was a rumor here a while back that Rivian was going to allow us wake Siri from the steering wheel button (a la Siri eyes-free) which would make this faster and more...
  8. 20" Inch Toyo AT III EV tires mounted in factory size - Discount Tires

    I wonder if this is just a game of telephone and the rep is confused by the new Goodyear "AT" Wrangler 265/60/20 that's offered as the "all season" tire on the Dual Standard models.
  9. Yokohama GEOLANDAR A/T4 -- feedback reviews?

    You may have better luck with the search function if you spell the tire name correctly. It is weirdly GeolandAr not GeolandEr.
  10. Connect+.... I call bullshit

    What you're really paying for with Connect+ is the LTE data connection. Image-based map basemaps (e.g. satellite/aerial photography) are much more data intensive then vector-based basemaps (e.g. road outlines). Makes total sense that they would limit the data consumed over the internet for...
  11. Battery Pack Sizes: How did the efficiency between the Gen 1 and Gen 2 change so much?

    Way off base, sorry. All EV batteries are Lithium ion. There are a few different common chemistries used in EVs: Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO) NMC batteries have denser energy storage but tend to degrade a bit more/faster than LiFEPO. All Gen1...
  12. Screen light settings poll

    Tried to put it on dark all the time at first, but as others have noted it was too hard to use in daylight, so I switched back to auto.
  13. Spotify craziness?

    Spotify (at least the free version) only plays one stream per person across all devices. If you are logged and trying to play on multiple devices they will fight each other for control of what's playing.
  14. What part is Rivian missing that's causing supply / production issues?

    Not to derail this too much, but I think your original point holds, since Musk did not "design the widget" for anything except maybe PayPal.
  15. UPDATED: FINALLY, A CENTER CONSOLE TRAY THAT FITS "PERFECTLY"

    FWIW, it's possible to DIY the "flocking" that you're referring to on just about any of these...
  16. Anyone have experience with the Rivian Certified Body Shops South of Boston?

    Bummer to hear that - hopefully they get it fixed and you get your car back soon!
  17. 20" Inch 20" Michelin Defender LTX M/S2

    This question is not likely to get a truly useful answer. The OE Pirelli ATs and these Goodyears are not the same size. While you can apply a conversion factor based on roll-out, it's still not really going to be an apples-to-apples comparison.
  18. Will Action Button on Iphone 15/16 work to enable Lock/Unlock ??

    I don't know, I've never used a case. I would assume so since it's probably using the accelerometer as opposed to any sort of direct contact sensor.
