  1. Can’t send planned trip to car?

    Works fine for me from Google Maps on Pixel 10 Pro XL / Android 16. For those having problems, what phone/OS and mapping app are you using?
  2. Experiencing Torque Steer?

    100% normal. Personally, this is why I feel Conserve mode is only to be used when absolutely necessary to get where you're going without running out of charge. For me, that is almost never. On road trips early in ownership, when I had a little anxiety over just how far the R1 would actually go...
  3. US Loyalty Rates

    there's also the issue that a lot of R1 owners who might be looking to replace an early build are now looking at paying $20k+ more than they did originally which, financially or mentally, may be too much of a stretch. and then there are people like me, 3+ years into ownership of my LE, who have...
  4. Why is the R1S so cramped?

    If the R1S were closer to Suburban/Expedition sized, I absolutely would NOT have purchased it. I need a 2 row with a large cargo area for the dog crate. And I had originally planned to buy the 2 row R1S variant until that got nixed so, needless to say, my 3rd row is always folded down. But this...
  5. Reminder: Rivian Promised Level 3 "Eyes Off the Road" Autonomy on Gen 1

    product plans are always subject to change, parts availability, engineering readiness, etc. no one is entitled to anything here. Rivian would not exist as a company today had they held off releasing the R1 by 3+ years until they could deliver that one feature. and, frankly, anyone that was able...
  6. Surprised that the Quad-specific bronze finish All Terrain wheels are not forged, unlike the AT Darks available on lower models

    high end cast wheels can approach the strength/weight balance of forged. the biggest advantage forged wheels have over cast, especially for offroad, is that they are more forgiving of damage (ie, they are more likely to bend than break).
  7. VW becomes Rivian's largest shareholder, overtaking Amazon

    this is a direct consequence of the joint venture (ie, part of the existing agreement), not an additional investment.
  8. RiDE Diagnostic Access

    do we know what's different about this calibration than the one performed via the window switch?
  9. Frequent charging resume and stop after reaching % target

    I don't experience this with my Chargepoint. I find it interesting that yours tries to start charging every 45 minutes like clockwork. And if I'm interpreting the messages correctly, it's not actually adding any charge. It just wakes up, attempts to charge, realizes it doesn't need to and then...
  10. R1S 22" Tire Replacement Time - Decision Paralysis - Advice/Experience

    I've been running the Continental Terrain Contact HT, also a 115, for over 25k miles now. I will 100% buy these again when they eventually wear out - they are better than the OE Pirelli in every way except the load rating. I don't tow or carry heavy loads that might make the 115 an issue.
  11. R2 tires on Tire Rack 255/65/19, 255/60/20, 255/55-21

    maybe that option will become available later when/if the tri-motor launches?
  12. Night review of the interior accent lighting options on the Rivian R1S Gen 2

    this is accent lighting, I don't understand the desire for it to be any brighter. can someone clue me in?
  13. Symphonic Carbon Fiber Roof for Rivian R1T -- by EV Smart Truck

    generally speaking, glass does not serve as a structural element or contribute to crash safety (outside of being laminated, etc to protect from the hazards posed by the glass itself, eg large shards of broken glass).
  14. BMW and Mercedes pulling back on Level 3 autonomy

    See, I am nowhere close to trusting my family's life with the current state of autonomy and that lack of trust actually doubles my stress levels when letting the vehicle drive. Not only do I need to worry about what the traffic around me is doing but I also have to second guess everything the...
  15. BMW and Mercedes pulling back on Level 3 autonomy

    I mostly agree. I would love for my visually impaired wife to be able to get around on her own without being subject to being left standing on the curb by an Uber/Lyft driver who (illegally) refuses the ride because of her Seeing Eye dog. Personally though, I will never turn over the steering...
  16. BMW and Mercedes pulling back on Level 3 autonomy

    https://www.autoblog.com/news/bmw-and-mercedes-just-proved-tesla-was-right-about-self-driving Key Points BMW and Mercedes halted Level 3 autonomy due to high costs and weak demand. Tesla avoided Level 3, relying on cameras over costly LiDAR, now seen as prescient. Infrastructure, regulations...
  17. Repairing Gaskets coming loose are my responsibility.

    mine were peeling off at delivery. they just applied some more glue and it's been holding fine for 3+ years now.
  18. Car owners revolting over Tesla's self driving promises

    Funny, saw a post just this evening on Instagram from some law firm looking to spin up a class action against Rivian for supposedly promising level 3 autonomy for Gen 1 but not delivering the hardware to support it.
