  1. Tesla kills Autopilot on new cars - Forces users to subscribe to FSD

    I see no option for any autosteer on the Model Y and 3. Musk replied to a tweet from long time Musk fan Sawyer Merritt and did not deny it. x.com
  2. Tesla kills Autopilot on new cars - Forces users to subscribe to FSD

    I don't necessarily disagree, however, one of the key differentiating features for Tesla is the technology. This locks one important piece of the technology behind another paywall that consumers may not find worthy of $1200/year. This also positions Tesla behind other automakers that offer...
  3. Tesla kills Autopilot on new cars - Forces users to subscribe to FSD

    Elektrek is reporting that today Tesla (effective immediately), is removing autopilot on new cars. To obtain that functionality, they need to pay the $100/month FSD subscription. I think this is a bad move - I have no interest yet in FSD, but I use autopilot all the time on our model Y. My...
  4. Clunk noise (and feel) when accelerating and decelerating

    Sounds like it may be the half shafts - although it coming on suddenly is odd. If you search the forums you will see lots of threads on the half shaft issues.
  5. Are charging stations dynamically added to navigation during trip?

    Even so, the Rivian navigation system doesn't always have all the charging stations. For example, in the Midwest we have Kwik Trip/Kwik Star chargers that Rivian doesn't have in the Nav. I'd suggest an app called plugshare if you haven't already downloaded it. Plug share has a lot more...
  6. Tesla self-driving is so much safer, you get an insurance discount for using it

    More details here: Inside EVs Of particular note: " Lemonade's new partnership with Tesla provides the insurer with vehicle telemetry data which helps Lemonade to feed its risk prediction models. This includes the ability to distinguish when FSD is enabled and predict risk based on sensor...
  7. Displayed speed limit often wrong

    I've noticed on my Gen 1 that when you turn onto a road, it keeps the same speed limit from the last road until it sees a new sign. So, if you turn from a road that is 35 MPH to a road that is 55 MPH, the speed limit in the car will stay at 35 MPH until it sees a new sign that says 55MPH.
  8. App Climate Schedule doesn’t do anything.

    I'm having pretty significant issues with climate scheduling as well. It seems completely broken for me. Scheduled it several days ago to be ready by 8:20 every morning from today until Friday and today I went to check the app at 8:10 and nothing was happening with the car. Still asleep no...
  9. Some people's kids...

    Come now, do you really not see the difference between the jeep thread and the one here you also linked? In the jeep thread they are discussing a dangerous and defective high voltage battery. The one you linked on this forum is not at all related to safety or drivability of the car. The Rivian...
  10. US Congress introduces ‘SAFE Exit Act’ targeting electronic doors

    Rivians already do this. Rivian Emergency Response guide - See top of page 10. "The vehicle unlocks the doors when a crash is detected. " I don't think its so much door locking, but latch releasing from the inside that is the issue. While a bystander or first responder can probably open...
  11. US Congress introduces ‘SAFE Exit Act’ targeting electronic doors

    Saw this Electrek article about the "SAFE exit Act" requiring automakers to "install easy-to-find manual releases in case of power failure. " Given the robust discussion here about this issue, I thought it might be of interest to members. Personally, while I think this is good, I think the...
  12. Anti-EV agenda

    I would much rather see a tax on polluting vehicles that is added at the time of purchase or lease. Put it right on the Monroney sticker. Those taxes could then be used to offset to the oil company subsidies. The trouble with gas price increases is that they usually hurt low income persons...
  13. Product Request: Capacitor retrofit

    This thread fascinates me. I'm interested in hearing more about the positives/negatives of each approach. BUT, didn't Rivian say they are working on a user-serviceable 12v replacement process that would clear those codes?
  14. Some people's kids...

    I've noticed the opposite. I've noticed a LOT of "Rivian sucks" threads lately about minor issues. The OP then dismiss anyone who chimes in to say "I like my car" AND OP proceeds to ignore any advice or offers to diagnose or debug their car. On the latest one, half the OP's problems were...
  15. Rear Brakes "Seizing" when parked over 4hrs

    I've fixed it mostly by just using the brakes a few times during the drive.
  16. Has anyone gotten the 2025.46 Update yet? Please tell us your location and date you received.

    What charger are you using? If its a tesla wall connector (gen 3) or universal wall connector - turn on compatibility mode in the charger. This solved my red light plug in issues. In the tesla app - settings, vehicle charging, select your wall connector (I have two - so maybe this screen...
  17. Level 3 Charging 2025-2026 for Rivian R1S May Require a $300 "Accessory"

    I will also add (as was stated here earlier) that not all Tesla Superchargers are compatible with your vehicle. Some are older version 2 stations (usually these are the ones that are 150kw or less) that don't speak the CCS1 protocol and instead communicate with the car through a Tesla specific...
  18. Post .46 update issues

    I’ve noticed that if you have a climate schedule set and get in the car and drive before it’s at the set temperature that the climate schedule overrides the driver or passenger climate inputs even if its past the time on the schedule. For example you’ll change the temperature and then three...
  19. Rivian's in-car UI is better than Tesla's

    There. I said it. With all the negative posts these days about software and the Rivian, I thought I would post a positive experience. My family owns both a gen 1 R1S and a tesla model y. Over the past 6 months, I have really come to appreciate the well-thought out layout of the Rivian...
  20. Firmware Update results in reduced range

    Couple of suggestions: 1.) The new update mentioned charging to 100% several times to recailbrate the BMS. Perhaps charging to 100% for a few weeks will reset it. 2.) Try signing up for one of the aftermarket apps like A better route planner, rivian roamer, or the like - those can actually...
