  1. How to Improve a Rivian R1S’s Elevation Sound System With Simple EQ Changes (Equipment Measured Tests & Results)

    Ah, with all the excitement over the improved music output, I came back to this thread specifically in the hope that superfluid has entered the chat! Looking forward to your analysis when you find time. Also wonder if they did something to fill that crossover issue you identified. And if you...
  2. Apple vs. Tidal comparison review -- and Atmos

    I flipped back and forth across a couple Billie Eilish tracks with Atmos encoding on Tidal and Apple (3D surround set to off; EQ set to superfluid's curve for elevation sound system R1S). Much preferred Apple to Tidal. I plan to keep experimenting before I cancel Tidal, but for now my...
  3. 2024.27.1 and 2024.27.30 Update are rolling out for Gen1 and Gen2

    So I have the top end Tidal and now Apple Music, and I spent some time flipping back and forth between the two to see how they compare in my R1S Gen1 Elevation system. I definitely prefer Apple Music with Atmos. It's cleaner, the base is more lively, and I heard some details on certain tracks...
  4. 2024.27.1 and 2024.27.30 Update are rolling out for Gen1 and Gen2

    Up and running in my rig as of mid-morning. Quickest I've ever received one of the OTA updates. So far Apple Music sounds solid, although I haven't had much chance to experiment yet. I assume the Dolby Atmos enhancements will occur without altering any settings or other user input and is based...
  5. Rear View Camera Zoom In-Out?

    Can you hang a tennis ball on twine so it touches your window at the moment to stop, the old fashioned way?
  6. Problems with Dynamic Glass Roof R1S?

    The dynamic roof glass was one of a couple really cool new features that I was bummed to have missed out on with my Gen 1 R1S. But I was also under the same misimpression as OP that the dynamic transition would begin in a state of fully transparent clarity and only end in frosty obscurity...
  7. Terrible Gen2 Stereo / Audio?

    I find the tweeters or whatever they've got in the center console under the windshield are way too tinny and overwhelm the system, while the lack of adequate sub leaves the whole soundstage without meaningful depth. (Gen1 R1S elevation) I really want to upgrade the whole system, but just can't...
  8. R1S ownership blues... "aren't you afaid of all the ELF radiation?"

    I like to say that I charge my EV off my natural gas powered all home generator, which really confuses issues.
  9. R1S ownership blues... "aren't you afaid of all the ELF radiation?"

    To be clear, those aren't necessarily awesome things that we shouldn't improve upon. But yeah, this EMF concern strikes me as a bit misplaced, but to each their own for sure. By way of example, my sweet and slightly conspiracy-loving half brother (UFOs, contrails, etc.) does not eat food...
  10. Tesla is buying back my Cybertruck..

    As a momentary tangent, the one overarching requirement of a SuperPAC is independence from the campaign(s) it supports; in fact the FEC calls them "IEOPCs" -- Independent-Expenditure Only political committees. But we all know that's a legal fiction, and the FEC has done a terrible job drawing...
  11. Terrible Gen2 Stereo / Audio?

    Some should ask Wyssym why Rivian hates quality audio so much. I've wanted to do something about it by upgrading the system through the aftermarket on my own dime, but the lack of reliable information about how the system is wired up, coupled with the fear this would potentially brick the car...
  12. Cybertruck Durability Torture Test by WhistlinDiesel

    I don't know, the episode in which he identifies and confronts the neighbor who zoinked a bunch of his random stuff from his storage containers was both entertaining and educational. Plus the $500k reward he put up for the stolen skidloader has me ready to drive to Argos, Indiana.
  13. Cybertruck Durability Torture Test by WhistlinDiesel

    That was a hilarious video, I'll give 'em that. Kind of glad they didn't get their mitts on an R1S for this as it would scar my soul to see a perfectly sound R1S mistreated like that.
  14. Total piece of JUNK. Leased exactly one month ago. Within a day started AC that will not work. Towed and took 1 week to repair.

    This is the greatest troll thread ever posted on this site. That feat accomplished, can we just close this MF'er and let it exist in unblemished perpetuity as the porcelain toilet award winner of forum threads that it is?
  15. 2024.27 Software Update Gets Apple Music, Audible, Power Outlet Improvements

    I mean the last update was very significant, so I guess it's not a big deal this one falls a bit flat. I do think it's peculiar they seem to be including a cost (i.e., starting the trial) without including many of the features that cost was marketed as supporting. That naturally will come...
  16. Replacing the front camera for better resolution?

    If you're interested in this topic, there were a few posts on it in the following thread: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/camera-quality.29577/post-565697
  17. New RJ Interview (The Verge / Nilay Patel) Discusses Tesla, Ford, Apple, CarPlay, R2, R3 / R3X & More

    He recognizes the features missing from lack of CP or AA are the phone-mirroring things, essentially boiling down to text integration, maps, and music, and he addressed each of those in his response. I’m skeptical Rivian will pull all of them off soon, but nice that they are pushing on each of...
