  1. Phone key range

    What's the best way to submit a feature request to Rivian?
  2. Phone key range

    I'll try that. I didn't realize that phone key would work without proximity. (Too bad proximity can't be dialed to a shorter range.)
  3. Phone key range

    The app doesn't have to be open for phone key to work. If the phone is within the (rather long) range, it unlocks automatically.
  4. Dual Standard Road Trip Range?

    Thanks for people's experiences. I've yet to do my first road trip in my R1S Dual Standard (but want to, to make use of the free RAN charging period), so I had the same questions as the original poster. (My longest distance between chargers in my base model 3 was 183 miles, and typically I...
  5. Phone key range

    Is there any way to reduce the range of the phone key? The truck unlocks at 10-15 meters distance, meaning I can accidentally unlock it while in the cafe. Ideally the truck would unlock at a meter or two, maybe four. Having the truck unlock without my noticing makes me nervous. Not every...
  6. Navigation via app

    With my Tesla, I could route plan in the app or in the vehicle, with similar features, including charging stops. With Rivian, is there any way to do similar in the app, or only in vehicle? The app seems to just open Google Maps, but that's not the same, with ability to filter for chargers that...
  7. Anyone Still Using RAN?

    I'm planning to use RAN given some free usage that came with my Rivian, once I get a chance to road trip a bit. (Disappointed they didn't include the slow chargers in the freebie, as they're more useful for some trips.). But RAN seems to be super pricey, once I have to pay. I agree with the...
  8. Aidan Gomez Joins Rivian’s Board of Directors, Bringing AI Expertise

    It does suggest that Waymo's fundamentally cracked it, though. Others don't have publicly available data showing similar.
  9. Aidan Gomez Joins Rivian’s Board of Directors, Bringing AI Expertise

    Cities are the hard part. Google had vehicles on highways from early on. Waymo's cautious rollout has proven better than some that fell off after bad incidents.
  10. Aidan Gomez Joins Rivian’s Board of Directors, Bringing AI Expertise

    The question on investors' minds is whether Rivian can make that difficult transition to mass production and mass sales. Not narratives.
  11. Aidan Gomez Joins Rivian’s Board of Directors, Bringing AI Expertise

    But it doesn't get to why Rivian should do this, rather than just building vehicles, and licensing AI from the winner of the AI battles? Why shouldn't AI be left to AI companies? Just license a good system, like you'd buy a part from a supplier? The winners in AI will likely invest hundreds of...

    Why not just license Waymo, which already has tenfold fewer accidents per mile than human drivers according to SwissRe, and focus sharply on achieving net profitability through volume vehicles like R2 and R3? The list of "me too" autonomy systems is likely to get huge soon. Rivian doesn't have...
  13. Starlink for Overlanding Connectivity

    Sure. But a lot of our rescues were of people whose truck got stuck, somewhere a bit remote. (In fact, none of our rescues in county were backpacking related.)
  14. Starlink for Overlanding Connectivity

    As a former member of a search and rescue unit, I still use my Garmin InReach Mini. It's more rugged than a phone, and the battery lasts longer. We rescued a number of people whose battery went to a few percent then zero while trying to seek rescue (via 911). (I also program mine to leave a...
  15. Is an R1S a "truck"?

    My R1S is so much bigger and heavier than the 3 that I traded in for it, and than most vehicles I've owned, that it feels like it needs a different word than "car"; calling it "car" feels fake, not acknowledging the bulky, weighty reality. I'd say lumbering, but it's peppier than my 3...
  16. R2 / R3 battery pack photos from RJ

    That might be a thermal control issue.
  17. Help Needed: Rivian Survey for MBA Project

    It wasn't clear to me which way the number scales went.
  18. Rivian work week reduced to 2-3 days until inventory comes down

    Hopefully things pick up for them, maybe as the earliest R2 are produced for testing and showrooms, then first sales. Should be a popular vehicle. Remember, the similar size Tesla Model Y became the best selling car model in the world for a while, so maxing out Normal production seems quite...
