  1. PC MAG: Rivian, Tesla, and Ford are embracing LFP batteries...customers aren't told which type they're getting

    “If customers have an LFP vehicle, they can regularly charge to 100%. This is a benefit over NCM, which is only recommended to charge to 80-90%, especially for customers in warmer weather, where the cars will retain the extra power more easily.” So this is important I have the R1S and we should...
  2. Normal HVAC behavior?

    Maybe I’ll try and see the temperature coming out with an IR gun, my wife borrowed the car today, so pretty sure will have lots to fix later tonight ?
  3. Normal HVAC behavior?

    Well feels warmer than outside air and inside air, but not like typical hot air from the heater so even I am confused what is happening
  4. Normal HVAC behavior?

    Yes mine also shows cold air blowing in yet its warmer cold air than the outside air so somehow it still warms the truck
  5. ? Lightning Stop Production / Stop Shipment Issued (for battery issue)

    But of course "legacy" companies just know how to build cars...
  6. Just test drove R1S, interior trim quality/ passenger room

    I've owned a Tesla Model 3, BMW X5 plug in, Chevy Volt, Hyundai Palisade, etc. Listen, the truth is many people very much prefer "brand name" cars. It seems like to me you may be biased in favor of brand names like Mercedes and Porsche, I don't know you so that's up to you to decide, but I...
  7. How do you get in your R1? (PaaK, FOB, Card, crowbar, windows...)

    I have Iphone 14 pro max, PAAK always works. As others have said at times I just have to wake up my phone, like tap the screen and the car unlocks. I don’t have to open the app. Make sure to have location always on and background refresh on and don’t hard close the rivian app. It’s liberating...
  8. How do you get in your R1? (PaaK, FOB, Card, crowbar, windows...)

    Umm, the phone key works extremely reliably. A key fob? You must also prefer physical credit cards to apple pay.
  9. Tidal Hifi+ sounds much much better than Spotify

    Alexa doesn’t work with Tidal, it recognizes the song and Tidal, but plays like a second and stops and the song doesn’t come on the screen. This will be fixed I’m sure. Recents update for me but only sometimes, but only has I think 5 recents. Rivian has got to fix the music apps asap. I know...
  10. Tidal Hifi+ sounds much much better than Spotify

    Tidal is better, the integration needs a lot of work, but whats the point of good speakers with so much freakin wind noise :(
  11. First Look at Premium Charging Plate

    I also vote for rubberized mat. Aluminum is too risky for my caseless Iphone. My hope is someone makes a way to have the phone closer to eye level, the whole phone situation is ridiculous and makes a very safe car feel just a litttle bit less safe. I tried the riviparts mount but steering...
  12. Rolling into 2023, my first 5 days with an R1S

    Are you getting much wind/cabin noise?
  13. Better Range After 2022.47.0 Update??

    I was reading more about it, I think manufacturers hold off certain amount of battery cells to help slow degradation issues and meet their battery life claims. So Rivian has a 8 year 150k 70% battery life warranty. So bu reserving cells it improves battery life. Maybe as they learn about...
  14. Better Range After 2022.47.0 Update??

    I don’t know the exact rega, but there is a federal requirement that certain percentage of battery has to be reserved
  15. R1S LA to Scottsdale experience

    So just thought I’d post a quick synopsis of my trip from LA to Scottsdale. 1. SUV performance and utility is simply awesome, Fit incredible anount of luggage in the frunk and trunk 2. Was able to drive with AC/Heat off just fresh air so was able to get mostly over 2 miles/kwh, even going over...
  16. Tidal Hifi+ sounds much much better than Spotify

    Thanks for that, very informative! The only comment is that carplay compresses heavily, I don’t think it uses airplay technology and so as an audiophile, I think carplay in this one instance is worse.
  17. Tidal Hifi+ sounds much much better than Spotify

    Yes for now I have the free trial, but I also wonder if it matters which one you have
  18. Tidal Hifi+ sounds much much better than Spotify

    Are you set on highest streaming quality? I notice a big difference and no buzzing..
