Another great post. Subtle. Took me a second. 😀

Dude, has to be one of my favorite posts on here. You nailed it.

This has been on A2Zs site for months. And just TODAY, a Tesla engineer was interviewed about this and he is 100% opposed to the use of extension cords and then he went into details about the many failure points that will occur. I’ll see if i can find the link, maybe saw it over on Reddit….

We’re supposed to be getting this via a choice of assistant (Siri or google) and a triggering button on the steering wheel. Like Siri Eyesfree in other cars. Like everything with Rivian, “it’s on the roadmap”

Awful if you think about street charging. By putting it on drivers side you just killed inexpensive retrofits to street charging.

Is it silly though? For me, I would like to see their software engineers spending more time on real feature / functionality changes that actually matter. A cartoon I never see is meaningless and it’s all they can talk about. There are so many things they could improve - like the mobile app...

OK, thank you for posting this. The animations are the least impressive thing to me and it’s all anyone seems to rave about. Still no native text support. WTF. I am excited about all the fixes to the suspension and other “under the hood” improvements.

For me, simple text integration just like my Tesla had, is all I need. I don’t need the added complexity of CarPlay and laying a completely redundant operating system over Rivian’s.

Wouldn’t surprise me. When I was purchasing my car in April, I selected Rivian Insurance and was given the name of a guy to call. I called him and he was with Nationwide. He said they would only insure me if I brought all my cars over to them and would possibly even require a home. I told...

Talk to me Goose…. Does the car have to have audio set to Bluetooth to have these kinds of announcements use the car audio system? Or will It overrides the current audio playing, say Spotify, to do the announcement? That would help the missing of incoming messages right now. For outbound...

I did read the replies, thank you for checking. And the experience was described as “a little less elegant” on the inbound side. So, ok, if it’s truly the Siri Eyesfree experience as spec’d by apple, then this is good. It if this is some further kluge to fake giving us text support, then I’m...

That’s not the same. First, it relies on the phone speaker and mic. When the phone is on the charger, the mic is blocked by the armrest. Second, even if the phone is not in a position on the charger to block the mic, the radio interferes with Siri hearing me. It hears “Alexa” and lowers the...

You’ve got the best setup with the best charger. 60amp breaker with the Tesla Universal Charger. The car can’t take any more power than that so you can’t decrease the time to charge any more than this setup. For all the things Tesla does wrong, their Wall Connector is Outstanding with...

Right, if it "merely activates" the assistant, then is the how Rivian is going to get us Text Messaging support?

RivianTrackr lists “Siri and Google Assistant” as coming soon features in both Gen 1 and Gen 2. And, I found this screenshot today. So, are we finally getting some kind of text support by allowing us to control our phone through Siri or Google Asst but the car controls will still be Alexa...

First, that’s not a Tesla SuperCharger. Second, saying there is “no extension cable” that includes the temp and cooling safeguards is an odd statement since not are offered yet. And A2Z, a very good company, has stated that they are building those same safe guards into the extension cable. If...

Signed online Lease Agreement on Saturday, April 20th. Took possession of vehicle on Monday April 22th. Received letter from Chase that they ran my credit and showed me my score on April 30. Lease appeared automatically in my existing Chase online portal on Monday May 13. First payment Due...

I emailed the nice people at A2Z and they told me the date mine is shipping and let me upgrade to overnight for $15 so I now know exactly the date it will arrive (assuming they ship on the day they said they would). Ordered on April 23 Arriving May 14.

Strange that you had to start the charging process. All the demos I’ve seen show plug and charge, no intervention needed.

I completed normal setup as the first user of the car, creating my profile that has all my settings. Then I added my wife as a user and after going through the process of adding her phone as key, etc, I noticed that her profile was a copy of my profile for all the system settings. Including my...
