I love Rivian because their car is like 95% perfect. But the remaining 5% is just baffling.
Another Example: I had to have a main HV battery swap because there are apparently some clock on the main HV battery that wasn't resetting on my HV battery which caused the car not to wake up for...
One thing I noticed the last time I tried it, the "on screen" display of the text didn't update with punctuation, but the voice read-back did and the actual message sent was punctuated.
I thought it would be good to post a thread where everyone can post their tips and tricks to getting the most out of the RA. This is not a place for complaints about the RA - we have enough of those threads, but rather a place owners can post cool things they have found with the RA or ways to...
Ok, now this is funny: " The driver was arrested and charged with operating a vehicle in a closed section of park/lake, having no valid boat registration, and numerous water safety equipment violations. As of today, the driver remains in jail. "
I got the update and about three days later got a text message from Rivian telling me that my 12V needed to be replaced along with an 800 number. I called the number and within 10 minutes they scheduled a mobile service appointment for Friday. Service on the phone was great. The number was...
Two issues that i see. First, the tesla charger is dangling from the plug. If that's the normal position, the connection with the plug will loosen over time as you've reported. I recommend going on amazon and getting a holder for it so the plug is not supporting the weight of the unit...
I think for me there is a learning curve to figure out how to get the most out of it.
For example, I asked her to turn on the "butt coolers" and she turned on the heated seats! Lol. I had to ask to "turn on the ventilated seats." which worked.
I have been surprised with its capabilities as...
Adding to this - is the 14-50 an EV rated outlet like a Bryant or Hubbell? The cheapest Levitons (non-ev rated) at Home Depot are more for cyclic loads like an oven and have been known to melt under the strain of continuous EV charging loads.
Should be the bluetooth device for the Rivian. Under IOS , its settings, Bluetooth, and there should be a "Rivian Audio" in the "My Devices" section. Click on the little "i" with the circle and make sure synch contacts and show message notifications are enabled. Note that for some reason I...
This isn't just voice control. There is a Large Language Model running in the back-end. (Gemini I think) that Rivian has to pay for - thus the paywall behind Connect+ because Rivian wants to recoup some of those costs.
As @electruck said, you can try EVPLAY - it converts your center screen into android auto or apple car play as well as streaming, etc... I don't have one or use it (no need to) so I can't answer questions about it, but there are forum members that have it and use it.
For current R1S vehicles, you can buy an EVPLAY - looks like that enables streaming without Connect+ EV play Also enables Android Auto and Apple Carplay for those that like that. Not sure if there will be R2 support, but I would guess there would be.
