Just being curious how to integrate your personal google profile (saved places, routes etc.) into onboard navigation google map. Could you elaborate so I can learn. This has been my big disappointment that I can’t use my personal favorites in Rivian onboard google map. I have 2026 R1S.
New owner of 2026 R1S here. I’ve had same experience of unpredictability of how doors are opened everyday. Presuming you don’t pre-waking car through app, when I approach door with iPhone 13pro max in hand any of following events might happen randomly:

• Limited Regen Conditions (Battery too cold/full/downhill): The system automatically blends in...
My educated guess is for every friction braking there’s regen involved. It’s an integrated process by design. That explains driver+ (or highway assist) braking happens inside braking booster where regen also happens. It’s not an either/or issue but various percentage of the two. Friction part is...

I got my 2025 R1S dual max last Tuesday and updated to 2025.34.30 two days ago. So I don’t have experience to compare before and after the update. But so far my experience with card key and cellphone combo to unlock doors are chaotic and unpredictable. Here are samples of situations encountered...
