One thing I will say, is home charging is essential for owning an EV. You should just start the day all charged up and you never have to think about it, you never have to take time out of your day
DC fast chargers should really only be used occasionally for long trips. They just take too much...
Good memory!!! A long while back, not long after I got my R1S, there was a bug where it would ONLY show the lead vehicle directly in front of me, and nothing else. The SC solved that for me, they said it was a firmware mismatch
But even so, There were some pretty specific limits on what was...
Something interesting I noticed with the new 3d models on the driver's display: all of the vehicles now have very distinct headlights and tail lights. This tells me that at some point in the future (hopefully soon) the system will start detecting and showing brake lights and turn signals
I'm...
One dissapointing quote from the video, when James said "Expanding to more highways later this year". I fear we are father away from ditching mapping all together than I had hoped. The rest of the content though... 10/10. I LOVED the insights and show and tell from the Rivian team. I love how...
I'm very much in the camp of "this is mostly an AT&T issue". Rivian software isn't helping the situation. But AT&T sucks. In congested areas I will quite often have full signal strength and no connectivity whatsoever because they have such poor infrastructure
BTW @Rivian Roamer - Last night I was exploring your site and discovered the explainer page for how updates work... Great work there. Great resource to send to folks who don't follow the updates super closely or are new to rivian :clap:
The automatic timer is supposed to be for 30 minutes. If it's less than that you could try doing a vehicle reset. If not you may need to contact service
This one is just as much on AT&t as it is on rivian.
AT&T has been doing "Network upgrades" recently that I just as much a downgrade as anything else. During high traffic times like Rush hour near my home, AT&T service just ceases to function. They heavily prioritize phones over vehicles which...
So this last weekend I was off roading for the first time with my R1S. And it did REALLY well. I was quite pleased. But I noticed something strange on my drive mode screen yesterday (June 1). I noticed that the flag on the sport mode button looked a little different.
So then I pushed it...
For me, personally I am so glad I went with an R1S. Even though I don't have kids I do a lot of people hauling. The shorter wheel base make for much, much easier maneuverability. When in an R1T loaner I was shocked how different the turning radius was.
I took my S off road for the first time...
I was actually just talking about this with some of my friends. I feel like a huge minority being a man with no kids driving an R1S. Here in Utah if I see another R1S, it's almost certainly being driven by a mom with kids.
R1T on the other hand is much more commonly driven by men of my demographic.
....Well that's a cynical take on what's in my head... lol (don't worry I assume similar of many people haha)
It's very clear that the RAP system can see way, WAYYYY more than is shown on the screen. However, up until this point, Rivian has chosen to put VERY severe limits on what is and isn't...
