  1. Latest Rivian Patents-Rear Opening Glass & Physical Buttons

    The pedal on the left is for the clutch. 🤣
  2. I bricked my R1S in the Oregon Outback - Learn from my mistake!

    Aside from your charging woes, I just want to say you are living out my dream. One dog, one car, one adventure ahead.
  3. How long do you plan to keep your current Rivian?

    My lease is up towards the end of the year. Was planning on getting the R2 but I love the size of the R1S. I can’t see myself loosing the space. Beyond that point, I’ll hold onto it until I move to Italy in the coming years.
  4. 2026 Subaru Trailseeker EV Reveal, the poor mans Rivian?

    Is it too much to ask from a manufacturer to make the center console screen look like it wis actually integrated into the dash instead of a bit of putty oozed on the back of an iPad? One of the classy, well thought out aspects of the Rivian is all the screens look intentional. Just my 2¢
  5. 🔥 EVPLAY : Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are Finally Here | EVPLAY Install, Setup, Initial Impressions ⚡

    There is a hardware fix Alex posted a couple weeks back. https://evplay.io/community/news-announcements/new-hardware-fix-to-improve-switching-reliability Not advised for the faint of heart he points out but pretty simple all the same. I performed this update last week and so far it works as...
  6. Do you Hand Wash or Auto Car Wash?

    Wash it? Nope. The dirt it collects acts as a protective shell from scratches. The 30k miles of dirt also acts a an UV blocker for the paint.
  7. Actual Tire Wear on Gen 2 DM Models

    Just adding data to the pile. 25 Gen2 R1S range wheels. Original Perelli’s. Just about at 30k miles. Rotated every 7500-ish miles (heavy on the ish part). I could probably squeak out another 10k on them. I will say tho, ever since getting in to the Rivian, my driving style has really calmed...
  8. Road salt season: what’s your approach to protecting your truck’s underbody?

    Nothing. It’s all aluminum under there. On nice days I’ll wash and place the rain style sprinkler underneath moving it around as I wash. But I do that in the warm seasons too.
  9. Pro Tip: ensure you have 2nd key with you with new digital key!

    Support can unlock your vehicle remotely. Not sure of the criteria or what info is needed to be supplied, but they can do it. But if your phone is locked in the car, that might be difficult.
  10. .46 Update killed charging (for me, seems to be a limited issue on some Gen2)

    Just adding data to this thread. Gen 2 R1S upgraded to .46 last Thurs I think. Rivian wall charger. 50A ckrt. Charging at 11.2.
  11. I Don't Think UHF Can Handle This.... but Comma Did !

    I know this might be too crazy of an idea for some, but hear me out. Have you ever tried to drive it yourself thru water and not need to use Uber mode? Like, instead of technology doing the work, you do the work. It might even be fun. And at the end of the day you can tell people YOU drive thru...
  12. Has anyone gotten the 2025.46 Update yet? Please tell us your location and date you received.

    After installing the update, digital key email/invite received maybe 20 min later. Installed it just fine on iPhone and watch. Real responsive out in the world. Almost too responsive at home in the garage. Can’t walk down my hallway adjacent to my garage without it un/locking. Wish thee was a...
  13. 🔥 EVPLAY : Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are Finally Here | EVPLAY Install, Setup, Initial Impressions ⚡

    Only potential difference in audio quality is where your source is getting data from. Natively the Rivian pulls via its mobile service (connect+/at&t) vs your phones isp connection. For me, my experience was practically identical. To test I had apply music (Rivian) play a song, then switched...
  14. 2025.46 Update (Release Notes). OTA pushing out now!

    If this next update doesn’t make my steering wheel perfectly round, I might loose it.
  15. RJ on CarPlay (Autoblog Post / Stratechery Interview)

    After using the Rivian UI, the only case I can really make for CarPlay is that it puts the clock on the correct side of the screen.
  16. 2025.46 Update (Release Notes). OTA pushing out now!

    I think I am experiencing this issue now. Over the last couple of days it’s been in the single digits here. Garage is just above freezing tho. Thought I was loosing my mind. regarding the main thread and ai anything. The only ai I want is for the vehicle to recognize that I’m in a double turn...
  17. Can we upgrade R1 Gen2 to Gen3? Will R1s come with Gen3 next year?

    The FOMO is strong on these boards. My vehicle purchase/lease strategy hasn’t changed in 30 years. Unless there are major safety improvements like the cabin is automatically filled with bubble wrap upon a collision, there’s no reason to upgrade to the next year or 2 or 3 year version. I used to...
  18. Rivian Autonomy & AI Day! Lidar, Hands-Free Driving, Rivian Assistant & more announced

    My 2 cent take away from their announcement and reading thru this thread: FSD is neat, but I’m not all that interested. The current driver+ I have (g2 R1S) is plenty sufficient. Autonomy so I can do other things in the car also doesn’t interest me. Unlike many others, any of my commutes is me...
  19. 2025.46 Update Teased: Customizable Driver Display for Gen 1 and Gen 2

    Personally I’d like a minimalist feature. Just a dim speedo and maybe a battery level. Everything else off. Been on enough roadtrips that all the dash lighting becomes just overbearing.
