  1. What’s the Max Distance on a Charge a 2025 R1S Tri Motor with Max Pack and 20” Wheels can go?

    Thanks very much. It’s a very informative video. Great overview of how the R1T Gen 2 peforms with the 20” ATs, but It doesn’t really answer the question about how it would perform with AS tires on those wheels, unless I missed it.
  2. What’s the Max Distance on a Charge a 2025 R1S Tri Motor with Max Pack and 20” Wheels can go?

    It boggles my mind why Rivian only offers their Gen 2 R1S Tri Motor with 22” AS or 20” AT tire as the only wheel/tire options. It’s even more frustrating that they provide no EPA distance estimate for a 20” Wheel with AS tire configuration. I have a Rivian R1S Quad with the 20” AT package. In...
  3. 2024.39 Update Rolling Out

    I just got the notification last night. I updated overnight. Seems like some good UI improvements.
  4. Rivian R1S gets Thule Motion XT XXl Roof Box installed

    I don’t have the box on my roof or I would. Took it on a several hundred mile trip and it worked great.
  5. My experience with 2025 R1S Gen 2 -- Purchase and first 10 days / 500 miles

    Helpful review. Thanks for sharing! I’m curious what someone who has spent more considerable time with the 1st gen thinks as a comparison. Sad to hear that Driver+ still has some of same issues that I am experiencing with my Gen 1 R1S even with these supposedly much better cameras and a...
  6. Overheat Protection Needed

    I had both the Model 3 and the Y. Never had a glue issue, but I loved having both cabin overheat protection as an option and climate keep. Not sure why Rivian has neither. Seems like an easy feature to program. The best they have done is to create a pet mode which I use to keep the climate...
  7. If Rivian had a trade-in incentive program... trade Gen 1 for Gen 2?

    It would have to be an amazing incentive. No Chance otherwise.
  8. First public appearance of 2nd Generation R1S!

    They made some good improvements. Love the door button and the cameras being activated when you hit your directional.
  9. Spotted: Apple Watch As Key for Gen 2 Rivian! (I hope it works on G1, too!)

    I have the wristband, too. Doesn't work very well. I am constantly trying to get it to unlock/lock the car. I can never rely on it, so I always take a card, FOB, or phone. That's why it's good that Rivian is upgrading its car key system (at least with the next generation if not with us 1st...
  10. Gear Guard streaming coming Q3 2024

    I guess that explains why the Driver+ feature is so bad. The car is "seeing" the road like a person with a cataract condition! :rolleyes: Anyway, I think evolving to a streaming option is a great thing and I applaud Rivian for moving the ball in that direction.
  11. New: Third row heated seats in 2025 R1S Gen 2 Refresh Model

    Agree. Excellent feature. I assume this was a relatively inexpensive upgrade for Rivian since they are losing tons of money on each vehicle sold and are looking to cut costs. I think this feature will further set them apart from the competitors, which is a good thing for Rivian.
  12. Spotted: Apple Watch As Key for Gen 2 Rivian! (I hope it works on G1, too!)

    I would be happy if they made their key system more like Tesla's even without apple watch support. I don't understand why with Tesla's you can order a key card and simply pair it like you would be able to pair any Bluetooth device to a phone, yet with Rivian it's a service call to get a new...
  13. Spotted: Apple Watch As Key for Gen 2 Rivian! (I hope it works on G1, too!)

    I read the same thing. So much for loyalty to your most dedicated drivers, the early adopters.
  14. I Spent Two Days With Gen-2 R1 Vehicles. Here’s My Thoughts as a Rivian Owner...

    I think it might be geography, as you suggested. I live in the suburbs of New York City, and it seems that Rivian relies on mapping to a large degree rather than the cameras just "seeing" the road, assessing the surroundings, and making decisions based on that. So since they have yet to map...
  15. I Spent Two Days With Gen-2 R1 Vehicles. Here’s My Thoughts as a Rivian Owner...

    You make a good point about leasing, but leasing is not an option when you adopt early. I have a Tesla too, and yes, they overpromise for sure, but my experience has been that any update they make, for years, included my Tesla. That's the right way to do things. Anyway, I can't say that I...
  16. I Spent Two Days With Gen-2 R1 Vehicles. Here’s My Thoughts as a Rivian Owner...

    The driver plus as it is now barely works. I don’t need full self driving, but I can’t go more than 10-15 minutes without the current system just quitting or getting confused. There are strips of road if works on and often it suddenly gives me a warning and disengages. Slightly inclement...
  17. I Spent Two Days With Gen-2 R1 Vehicles. Here’s My Thoughts as a Rivian Owner...

    As an early adopter I feel totally betrayed by Rivian with respect to the Driver + functionality that they are brining to the 2nd gen and not bringing to the first gen vehicles. Their Driver system really should be called Driver -. It’s virtually useless. And now they are leaving their most...
