No.

I have never seen or heard that "official" explanation. Perhaps that is the gist of what some customer service representative told you, having been filtered through a non-technical support channel, but what it comes down to, as we all have understood and experienced for years, is that it costs...

Yes.

It's déjà vu all over again - Yogi Berra From October, when this was first announced:

They are not. Signed, A non-Connect+ Rivian owner.

The problem here comes from your lack of understanding about how to use your Tesla membership to charge a non-Tesla vehicle. Jumping straight to accusations that Rivian is involved with some "shady" practices including hijacking your session and overcharging you is a little over the top. That's...

Please remind me, how many "influencers" got to buy a R1 before everyone else? This time around, all the Rivian "influencers" have very early reservations, just like many of the rest of us. And yes, you'll be hearing from them early on, because they are in need of attention. That doesn't equate...

You ought to put that in your sig Leroy - it will save you from having to type it every. single. month.

I guess it's never too soon to start a complaints thread....

You didn't read what I said very carefully. Gen 1 started shipping in 2022. Four years ago. Gen 2 started shipping in 2024. Two years ago. Two years apart, not three.

No, he literally said three years between 2022 Gen 1 and 2025 Gen 2, then extrapolated to Gen 3 in 2028, another 3 years. Rivian didn't use model years initially. Gen 1 vehicles were actual years, not model years. The 2022 models were shipped in 2022. The 2023 models were shipped in 2023. The...

I think you missed the fact that the question, and my answer that you quoted, was about doing this with a rooftop rent mounted on the bed. I stand by my answer - it's not going to be easy. There's only ~24 inches between the bed and the bottom of the tent if you're using the Rivian crossbars...

I question the judgement of the people described in the original post. I'm not sure why their clearly impulsive and ill-considered actions have any implications for Rivian or any other car manufacturer. If they put so little effort into their choices, why should we care what they choose?

Except Gen 2 was released in mid 2024 ...

Google it. On Android you have to enable the developer options first.

Did Rivian ever promise that?

It has been my often expressed opinion over many years that the voice assistant should be able to do everything that can be done through the UI and the physical buttons. The software already exists to control all these things within operating constraints (e.g. can't open the hood, by any means...

I'm sure the mount points are still there hidden under the bumper cover. Back before launch in 2022 tow hooks were a $350 (IIRC) option on the Adventure trim (& standard equipment on launch edition), but Rivian changed that shortly before anything shipped and made tow hooks mandatory on both...

Your position on this matter is absurd. Being able to control things by voice in addition is not only a safety feature, but also an accessibility requirement and a huge convenience - unless of course you refuse to use it. The current limitations on what Rivian allows Alexa to do are a little...

Yeah, that's was my first thought. I didn't want to be alarmist and shout fire in a crowded forum when that is, after all, just a guess. But the main things are: This isn't normal at all - it needs a SC visit. The OP already has it in for service. Speculating is a waste of time. Although I...
