OK, I realize this thread title is controversial and admins may strike it down. I got the .46 update and was excited to give it a try - after watching several of the Rivian influencer reviews from the 'Autonomy Day' event. I do recall the Rivian person in the vehicle (repeatedly) saying this...
What gives with Driver+ lately? Am I the only one that thinks the behavior got worse the past few OTA updates? It's always been rather finicky and often frustratingly inconsistent. But recently the "Keep Hands On Wheel" sensor/sensitivity has gone haywire basically. Time and time again...
Recommend using Rivian Mobile services for doing a tires rotation job for only $60 bucks. Cool to see a Mobile van upclose. Could envision a future Sprinter van competitor (if it had twice the battery pack). Captured a couple aftermarket items he said were marketed for Tesla but work fine on...
Just noticed the top setting on the lights stalk has “All Fog.” What illuminates that isnt with + Fog below? Wonder if thats meant for (future) Euro sales where rear fogs are legal. Those bright reverse lamps would be very illuminating to drivers behind - as in blinding!
Do the lights alter...
R1S is finally a well-sorted, planted ride with excellent roll control and dampening. Pushed it hard up to 60mph on unimproved access road and it felt almost “trophy truck” cushy the way it absorbed without harshness. Happy camper! :clap:
Came across this in a social media feed. I know the "ultra-luxury" SUV market is not Rivian's playground. But watching the overview makes one appreciate what the Chinese automakers can produce - and wonder what might emerge for an offroad focused adventure Truck/SUV EV, esp. with a small...
Expect answer will lead to a facepalm but the UI e-manual is useless. How do you switch between option views on driver’s display? I “magically” got my tire pressures to show with zero intent to do it. Trying to return to the hazy navigation augmentation.
Wrapped-up my first experience towing the OBi DWELLER D15 adventure trailer with my R1S. Some quick facts:
5,070 lbs Dry-wt
6,405 lbs GVWR
No WDH (explained)
90% of cargo in R1S
2,331 miles traveled
48 MPH Avg speed
49 Hours traveling
Solo (driver-only)
1.13 Mile/kWhr
60-90 miles between...
Pulled into EA charging station in Baker, CA and saw signs of a MFG test mule. Driver confirmed it’s a Kia EV9. Sized about 80% of an R1S. Looks much like a 120% version of EV5.
First impression: Meh. ?
It lacked 3rd row bench but can tell with it maybe 12-15” behind to rear hatch. Styling...
Picked this up today. Got it through auction house for a crazy-low $30K. So far only taken to CA DMV for license & registration (and sales tax). Going to do a couple trial stays in campgrounds in Laguna Mnt nearby San Diego. Will be taking it with the Rivian to Overland Expo Mnt. West outside...
Why is something that should be easy and self-evident not the case here … ?
How do you remove a prior phone pairing, especially if it was ‘keyed’ ?
Tried in the Drivers and Keys interface and within the Connect - Bluetooth. Neither had an obvious Remove or Delete functionality I could find.
I love this view outside my office window. It does distract me often as I gaze and daydream about get-aways.
point of note: employer provides no-cost charging stations to incentivize EVs. Great perk!
Had my R1 a couple of weeks now. Parking at work can be cramped with many tree-islands and lamp posts throughout the parking lot. I tend to park front-end in, so I'm pulling in without having to put it into reverse. After a few repeats into the same spot I realized that I have to stop short...
Week 1 of new R1S ownership. Condo shared garage has ChargePoint level 2 stations. They are not public and require a “subscription code” provided to residents. Did first charge with it last night (started around 30% SoC). Was pleasantly surprised at the final bill especially given the complex...
Planting a seed thread for the pending 2nd Qtr. Delivery Window updates many of us are anxiously awaiting. Thought it would be useful to make it a Poll so that you can both post to comment on how the update affected you personally and contribute to a wider assessment of trends.
Using this USA...
Reserved R1S in January this year, so beat the price hike fortunately. Got a timeline of "2024" last month. Not exactly informative in terms of when in 2024... I mean they could at least guestimate the first or second half you'd think....
I'd be happy getting the R1T (again) if it would...
