THIS!
You have to 'forget' the device from your phone when you're done using it.
As others have noted, while well-intentioned, Rivian's execution of the speaker was a flop.
Actually, I use it more these days since I keep to the above advice!
Pretty minor gripe in the grand scheme of this...
Another reason why over-reliance on ADAS is foolish.
Even on the mean streets of Calgary, dodging potholes and debris makes using driver - assist a stupid proposition.
Just getting used to the new in-vehicle energy app and wanted to post my thoughts.
Also, let's see your commute stats... Can you beat 2.2kWh with 1.1kWh of regen??
I think if there was a less cutesy interface I would prefer it, but I get the branding and approachable vibe.

Shockingly in Alberta we've gone the other way. Now it's illegal to set up speed enforcement cameras and roadside radar! They are still allowing the red-light cameras, but they can no longer issue speed violations from them.

Objectively, I haven't experienced any of that, funny how these vehicles are so different one from another!
Sounds like you might be the "fixed a rare instance guy".
We're using our Viking 12.0 TD XL for the moment. It's tight and my daughter complains about her sleeping situation - so likely to change after this year!
Some pics from last year below, cheers!
Appreciate the supportive words. I won't bring any further politics to this thread as it's not terribly relevant beyond my comment that I cannot bring myself to support US companies - which in itself is absurd... but here we are.
A year ago I couldn't have been more proud to be buying a...
I do enjoy driving and have the resources... the confirmation that HP unlock is NOT limited to sport mode has me even closer to jumping off the fence - but I just can't see to press the button!
I'll be honest, if there wasn't so much uncertainty vis a vis USA - Canada political situation, I...
