no, nothing on the app's home screen or the widget, at least not on Android. you have to tap into the Climate tile for that.

poor customer perception is the inherent danger of an MVP launch and learn approach vs taking a lot longer trying to perfect what you think the customer wants before releasing it. welcome to the new software defined world where the customer is key to product development.

The OP didn't say anything about scheduling which, yes, is going to attempt to bring the cabin up to the set temp as well as enable surface heaters if selected. Using manual settings as I was referring to, however, you can enable hvac and surface heaters independently. This is a good distinction...

Well, stating the obvious, Rivian is not Tesla. That behavior would also seem to go against the battery conserving tactic of warming the seat but not the entire cabin. Perhaps there are conditions below certain temperatures where the cabin heat is also triggered. Or perhaps the fans simply...

there are separate controls for hvac and the seats. the controls for one do not change the other.

Also keep in mind that the weight of an EV passenger vehicle, even something as massive as the Hummer EV, is still nowhere near the weight of a commercial semi-truck (up to ~ 80,000 lbs). Impact of EV passenger vehicles on road structures is negligible and, while not completely negligible, is...

here in TX I already pay the state $200/yr. I don't have a problem paying my "fair share" but the fee structure needs to be fair and independent of the energy source.

Georgia factory won't be online until at least late 2028. I would assume R3 deliveries en masse will not be until 2029 or perhaps even 2030 if delayed.

No issue with my R1S.

That wasn't a feature of Rivian's infotainment per se. It is a fundamental part of the Alexa stack as Amazon Music comes baked into all Alexa devices.

It has nothing to with it not being safe to vent the windows when driving. Most likely is related to the Assistant's reliability and, in some cases, ensuring that someone from outside the car can't gain unauthorized entry to the vehicle. I am hoping that they are just erring on the side of...

The problem is Alexa and Rivian Assistant do not coexist, you only get one or the other. So with the new Rivian Assistant enabled, there is no longer an Alexa to delegate to.

I'll be curious to hear the OP's experience after a few days with memory enabled. That setting is not related to the bug I described above.

it was documented by Rivian:

No idea, I don't have any inside information. Purely speculation here but more than likely it varies by hardware with R1G1 have little or no local capability and R2G1 having the most local capability.

There are definitely some bugs and growing pains are to be expected with the first release of something as complex as what Rivian has undertaken here. Rivian is indeed using existing models under the hood. But rather than one single massive LLM, they also have an orchestration layer that, among...

FYI... you can have a strong cellular signal but still suffer from poor network performance due to local network congestion, provider throttling, traffic prioritization, etc, etc.

tow charging might be preferable to this:

Last night the Assistant did something for me and I, just being silly, responded with a "danke schön" (with the typical American mispronunciation of danke shane). To my surprise, she casually responded with a you're welcome!

does the volume of the chime change with the volume of the voice, or is that separate? the voice (and hopefully the chime) can be controlled with the usual scroll wheel for volume when the Assistant is talking.
