Since I've never been a fan of sunroofs, I am thinking of getting the sunroof "wrapped" in white to completely block the sun. Yes, I spent good money on getting the max IR rejecting tint on all glass in the R1S, but I still feel the heat from the sun through the sunroof when driving.
Has anyone...
I keep it in All Purpose mode, standard height and automatic (lowers at highway speeds), but use stiff suspension, NOT soft. Setting to stiff almost completely removes the bouncy porpoising. Still have a little head toss, but my R1S feels and handles much better in stiff suspension setting.
I will tell you after Aug 25th (made service center appointment in early July). LOL.
Also don't forget the poor placement of the vents on the dash. They are low or off to the side and difficult to aim with the stupid display vent drag. I have never been able to properly aim the side vent...
I'm in Phoenix area where temps are even hotter than Texas temps. I completely agree. If the service center can't fix my AC, then I might also need to sell which would make me very sad after waiting since Sept 2019. Otherwise I like the R1S very much because I found a setting that reduces the...
Photosync 30 on all glass. If you wear polarized sunglasses do 3M on windshield so you won’t see prism effect. I used cactus tint on raintree in scottsdale right across street from Tesla service center. But my R1S still get brutally hot when parked in sun. I REALLY hope service center can fix...
Got it. I purposely don't have the app on because it leads to more 12V battery use, as the app periodically pings the vehicle. If you decide to keep your app off, I think you can set it to lock when you are at home.
And if Tesla bought Rivian, RJ would be fired immediately and the backing of Amazon would certainly be jeopardized, if not terminated. But these things do happen in the business world.
Just turn off the app when you are at home. I keep my app off at home and can walk by my R1S all day long and it doesn't wake or do anything. I also have it set to unlock at home, so if I need to get in the vehicle for something I can.
Wow! I like everything about it except for one thing: the internal combustion engine. If only they could make it all electric. I would sell my R1S in a second for Toyota build quality and reliability.
I think someone might have mentioned this in another OTA thread several months ago. Since then some OTA updates have come out, but they have not addressed one potentially informative feature. Would anyone like to have units on the Driver Display Power Gauge? Units for power use and regen...
Thanks for the summary; it's helpful to know that an R1S AC compressor performing optimally can cool the R1S cabin from 120°F to comfortable temps.
I am noting that your location is PA and you mentioned DE at the beach. Some of us R1S owners are in locations where temps are quite a bit...
I'm in Phx where it's pretty warm, so window tinting is a good thing to have. I got photo sync plus on all glass (including sunroof): Sph 70 on windshield and sph 30 on all other glass. Might have used sph 55 on driver and passenger side windows. The IR rating is most important for heat...
I dunno. Not my area of expertise, but my 2014 Model S has always been smooth as silk at very low speeds. Not sure what their mechanism is, but it works well.
Let's hope the engineers can figure this out-FAST. It's strange that R1T owners don't have this AC problem, or do they?
I really want to be excited about my new R1S, but this AC issue "mitigates excitement." LOL.
I've done all I can do on my side (photosync tint on every glass surface...
When I am pulling into my garage or maneuvering my R1S at very low speed (essentially trying to creep forward or backward), I can feel and hear the accelerator pedal click "on and off". I am not sure this has something to do with the brake hold, but it feels like a cheap switch going on an off...
Agree that R1S owners (in the south and southwest) might band together and demand that Rivian upgrade the AC compressors (or do something acceptable) so that their vehicles can be properly cooled.
I realized this will be a pain in the @ss for Rivian, but when word gets around that the AC is...
I searched the forums but couldn't find anything on seats sliding. Has anyone experienced their driver's seat sliding back upon gentle/normal acceleration? It probably only slides 0.5cm, but enough to feel. I noticed it today for the first time, in my 3 week old R1S (260 miles) as I was...
