Well I'm done here. Majority of people will not be able to tell the difference between Bluetooth or hardwired especially since the rest of the system can't reproduce the frequencies that are getting compressed but you do you and carry on with your quest.
I'm confused here, if your intent is to use the iPad for everything, why wouldn't you just connect audio with Bluetooth and call it a day. Doesn't make sense to lose the steering wheel controls for volume and track changes.
Most of the Rivian infotainment features work fine without connect+
Move on, Rivian does put some capabilities behind a paywall while some things do work with Wi-Fi. Most new capabilities are going behind the paywall, C+ is not expensive and if you find yourself using the data enabled parts often it is worth it.
I personally do not use all those things...
are the sensors clean? I think there were some that had water intrusion into the sensor connectors but if still in warranty then let Rivian deal with it.
Yes efficiency drops off quite significantly in the winter shorter trips are the ones that take the biggest hit, but a lot of variables will be at play here. Are you parking in a garage? charging overnight? Charging at work? How hot do you like the cabin? If you start off with a warm battery...
As others have pointed out you'll still want a set of pucks. I always pre attach magnetic ones every time I go for a state inspection or tire service just so there is no confusion on jack points.
Yes you will need jack pucks but tricky to get jack stands under there. There is a thread on here that discusses how you can lift from opposing corners to get jack stands under the others.
It's feels that way due to accuracy of range especially on LFP vehicles some vehicles just aren't that predictable and the huge variability weather conditions play.
I find that Rivian in general does a good job of predicting range on my gen1 and feel comfortable driving it down into single...
The most shocking number I see there is for Mini, that has got to be a typo or missing data. Not a single person returned to the brand in 2 years for a brand that offers several models?
I'm not loyal to any brand, I just buy what I like and I'll never buy the same thing again and again.
With Rivian I'm sure that is the problem there is no other product yet other than a slightly refreshed version of the same truck.
Lucid numbers are probably people trading in for the Gravity...
If you aren't meticulous with cleaning and you drive a lot avoid white unless you like them with a rusty tinted look. My truck I have to iron decon a couple times a year to get rid of the rusty brake particles from the side of the truck, can only imagine how bad the wheels would get.
OK I was bored and curious, took less time to figure it out than writing this post. The two trim panels above and below the cup holder just pop out and three screws 2 on top 1 bottom and slide the whole assembly out.
The reason for the shorter wheelbase was so they can claim to be the first EV to complete the Rubicon trail. I believe the T with its longer wheelbase can't complete that trail.
Yes for the most part the S will spend more time at the mall than offroad versus the T but marketing rights matter...
Yes blow the air through the same valve connectors for filling and vacuum. Just open jounce line at each corner and blow air until all fluid is drained one at a time, close jounce line and move to the next corner until all 4 are done.
Yes it's possible if the batteries aren't completely toast. What I had to do was get the batteries up to about 6v by hooking up fully charged jumper battery and just let it sit for awhile until the voltage equalized then hook up to a trickle charger with a repair/desulphation setting. Was able...
Screams like a money grab to me if they changed the mounting system. I can understand if R1 bars didn't fit due to length. Sucks for anyone that will own both vehicles but not much different than most other brands but really throws the whole "sustainability" marketing out the window.
