  1. Auto on/off outlets setting won't stick

    No. Sadly Rivian doesn't care. And based on the Rivian defenders here, this is just a "small" issue and whining about it only signals eye rolls. So without enough owner complaints, Rivian will do nothing to fix it. Even if it's clearly broken.
  2. I hope they reassigned the engineer responsible for the horn

    It never ceases to amaze me how many members here come out to blindly support Rivian's poor choices. "Blame the bad drivers for forcing you to use the horn, not the horn itself". "Rivians have very good sound insulation so you don't notice it". Seriously? The anemic horn has been a common...
  3. Interest Request - Physical Buttons

    I would think this would impart unnecessary wear and tear on the motors and parts. I already had one motor act up and now doesn't respond. Stuck with the air blowing in one direction. These will become big liability items for Rivian in the long run (and bigger liability Items for owners in...
  4. Interest Request - Physical Buttons

    In. The biggest complaint I have about Rivian is their identical-to-Tesla cost-cutting model of getting rid of virtually all tactile UI just to save a few bucks. There are much better areas to cut costs like those cumbersome screen-controlled motorized HVAC vents. The amount of time I spend...
  5. Efficiency - Too good to be true?

    I'm at a very accurate (confirmed with amp meter) 1.98 mi/kWh over 9,000+ miles in our R1S LE. Warm climate all year. Never under 60 degrees and never over 85 degrees. Don't drive like a maniac or ever exceed 65 mph. Unless one is going downhill, I would say it's impossible for a reasonably...
  6. Efficiency - Too good to be true?

    Either you're going downhill or the numbers aren't accurate.
  7. Reducing phantom battery drain in 2025 R1S

    Set the max charge at 80% and leave it plugged in.
  8. Vampire Drain solar cell mounting option

    I'm averaging a little under 2 kWh loss in 24 hours. Mounted under the tinted glass roof may yield 25 watts with perfect sun angle. I'm guessing average days I may get 100 usable watt hours out of this. Which would result in a reduction of total aggregate daily net loss by 5%. Am I missing...
  9. Phantom / Vampire Drain Solution Works! Using 12v Battery Tender

    Lucky you. I'm losing $400/year in electricity to phantom drain. It's incredible this phantom drain problem still exists. It should be high on Rivian's list to address.
  10. Prevent self leveling after parking

    I'm 6'-3". Not particularly short. As noted in my original post, I was parked on an 8-10% grade with a rounded top. So the front end was perched high.
  11. Prevent self leveling after parking

    Kneel mode is not on. The suspension adjustment occured about 20 seconds after I parked, exited the vehicle and opened the frunk. My vehicle always makes random height adjustments. I could be stopped at a light or parked on the side of the street. You can hear the suspension adjusting and feel...
  12. Prevent self leveling after parking

    Is there a way to disable the self leveling on a Rivian? Today after I parked my R1S on an 8-10% grade rounded incline I opened my frunk and was rummaging through my toolbag. Out of nowhere the Rivian started to drop an inch or so. The top of my kneecap was pushed up firmly and resting against...
  13. WFTV - Florida woman can't get out of bricked R1S for 45 min. PSA: check your emergency release access panels

    It's sad that people are blaming the owner for not reading the manual. Easily getting out of a vehicle that loses power should never require reviewing a manual. I guess at least we know Rivians will never become rental vehicles. I can't recall the last time I read through the manual for a...
  14. Adaptive Drive Beam : Rivian R1 Is America’s First Car With This Special Headlight Technology, And It Is Amazing [Autopian]

    We live in a beach community where horizontal illumination lighting is low to meet Dark Skies requirements. All the walking and biking paths are along these driving routes. Cars with auto high beams sometimes turn on and can be distracting and dangerous, particularly for cyclists. These...
  15. Adaptive Drive Beam : Rivian R1 Is America’s First Car With This Special Headlight Technology, And It Is Amazing [Autopian]

    How does this work in suburban or semi-urban areas with people present on sidewalks/bike lanes? Are cyclists and pedestrians blinded?
  16. Owl together now... ? Hoot is back ?

    I don't see a correlation with the high number of updates and software improvements/adding value. I have received updates that fixed an issue and months later received another that would break it. I have no problem with Rivian throwing in new features, but I, like many other Rivian owners...
  17. Constantly having to reboot vehicle to get proximity lock at home to stay off

    I have reset my Rivian at least 20 times and it's really starting to get old. Why is it so difficult to have Rivian keep the settings from turning off? Even when the proximity lock setting is set to off, roughly once a week or so it will randomly turn on. And this requires a reboot...
  18. Turn signal - let’s improve it!!

    The vehicles you are referencing from 10-15 years ago don't have the same capability that Rivian has where they can, OTA, update their software to give owners options for controls that owners commonly complain about. Other manufacturers provide these user options so why shouldn't Rivian? Even...
  19. Turn signal - let’s improve it!!

    Odd that so many are railing against those complaining about the stalk. I am also also firmly in the terribly designed turn indicator camp. Never in my life in any vehicle did I have to correct the indicator because I accidentally flipped it to the other direction when resetting it. Three...
  20. The Elephant in the Room [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICAL DISCUSSION]

    Agree. But China is also jettisoning itself to be an environmental leader in EV adoption. Thanks to an incredibly pro-EV government, they are making the US look like a laughing stock when it comes to adoption. Our new administration will reinforce this.
