I think different body types/sizes will have a harder time feathering and the heavy regen also precludes use of the defensive driving tactic of covering the break. Giving the option doesn’t take away other settings, so it doesn’t hurt anything.

True but it takes a very good touch to get smooth stops compared to an ICE or an EV that will coast. I also think it may be harder for people with smaller feet and smaller frames (shorter legs and less body mass) to feather the pedal to make stopping/slowing smooth. Additionally, the heavy...

Looks awesome in Rage Mode.

So your’s is doing it too? What have they told you so far? In my Grand Cherokee it got to the point where no one could figure out why it was doing it and then they just wanted to start replacing parts…

Thanks. I started a thread about being concerned about the air suspension system in February 2022. I went through air suspension problem with another vehicle for years before finally converting it to normal shocks. Now it looks like my brand new vehicle is having air suspension issues along...

Is it supposed to drop at all? It doesn’t make sense to me why it would drop any unless I have kneel on. I don’t think it is dropping all the way down, and I don’t think it’s a leak. In the past, this type of problem has been a valve malfunction for me.

Is the R1S supposed to change the ride height / suspension setting while the car is parked/charging? I keep coming out to find that the truck has lowered itself and the suspension is softer. Then after driving for a minute or so and 1/2 mile or so, it stiffens up and raises up. Kneel in park...

In my post I kinda talked about both. Haven’t used DC Fast charger yet. The problem is occurring using the L2 portable charger. Nothing is getting hot on the charging side. The vehicle just seems to be throttling itself way down. This is using the Rivian portable charger.

Thanks. Yeah, I did the full latch procedure. The bar is firmly attached up down but there is slip left/right

Is anyone else having trouble charging in hot climates (daytime temps over 100F)? My vehicle does not like charging when it’s hot out. And this is a BIG PROBLEM in Texas since it’s hot 3 months a year and the air is on fire 4 months a year. I have observed extreme throttling of charging...

Barely. It’s a piece of cloth inside the cabin. So the heat comes through into the inside of the car, and the cloth is perforated so a lot of the light and IR goes through. And I tested them side by side. Sitting in the drive, the Audi was at least 5 degrees hotter inside. The Audi hadn’t...

That wasn’t exactly what I was saying. This is the problem with internet conversations. Talking past each other. ?. In any event, turning the AC on and off strikes me as an odd way of making it work better. If it is a complex system reading lots of variables and turning on and tuning the...

And we have a black Audi Q5 that is always in the sun with a big glass roof and it does great

Yeah, it was in the sun, mostly while moving. But after almost an hour with recirculate on, it should be able to make the air cooler than 62. I think the batteries may be getting wicked hot from the high temps and that is heating the vehicle up and using the cooling. The vehicle also dropped...

More info, the thermometers in my S seem to be off. Phone is telling me the cabin is 70 and thermometer is telling me it’s a full 10 degrees hotter at 80.6. Air coming out of vents is 61.8 degrees. This is all after the vehicle has been running for 55 minutes with the air on. If this is...

Sorry, I get all that and am familiar with those aspects of the system. I was speaking of the actual hardware in the vehicle that handles the cooling. Also, my point about turning it on and off every time to make it work better is contrary to the idea that it is a complex, finely tuned...

I’m a patent lawyer. It is exceedingly common for products to not match patents. I would put zero stock in the system in the vehicle matching any given diagram from a patent.

How do you know there is logic involved in the AC system? The system tear down and review I watched (Munro) indicated the AC system was a simple one like used in an ICE vehicle (not saying this is correct ?). Also, assuming the AC system has a complex, intentional design, it seems very...

None of this makes sense! ? I have always believed that quickly turning on and off electric motors is a bad idea, and the fact that it causes something to shut down reinforces this conclusion in my head. Also, I don’t see how causing something to shut down can help the AC system. Noise...

What exactly is this procedure supposed to accomplish?
