  1. Outside temperature fiction

    I've been noticing my is WAY off at times - both above and below. And I also wonder if it's a factor in the ACC not working well. Yesterday, I was parked in the sun, but cool day. Car was showing 19, Air was about 25 (but hotter in the sun). Had the AC set to 21 and it was hot in the car...
  2. Can we stop asking for CarPlay now? "The next generation of Apple CarPlay will take over all of the screens, sensors and gauges in a car..."

    My questions is - Do auto makers have to implement all those features? If so it's not backwards compatible. Why doesn't Rivian and GM and all the others just say - this is what we will support, and we won't turn over the car to the phone.
  3. Chains / Socks or other - For ICE driving

    This video was a good review - socks seems to lose out on ice big time. (was linked to the video above - thanks wise) Snow Socks VS Snow Chains VS Snow Tires - What's REALLY Best on Snow and Ice? (youtube.com) They say - "on ICE metal is king." They didn't review the super-Z style - but...
  4. Chains / Socks or other - For ICE driving

    I've seen a lot of posts about chains and socks - but I curious about specifically driving on ICE. I live in Vancouver BC, we don't really get 'snow' we get ICE. When the snow falls, most of the time it's right at the freezing temp - so what we actually get is a thin layer of ICE on the...
  5. Seat support - back issues - Bad seat?

    I've posted a bunch, and heard a lot of people with seat issues. I've been trying to imperially prove there is an issue with my seat. I think I may just have found it. I've had issues with the seat from day one, I'm getting more used to it, but I still find it induces back pain, and it takes...
  6. Kia EV9 Pricing Announced

    I tried to get in the first batch of the EV9 - but didn't make it through the website bugs. I would have traded my R1S for the Kia in a heat beat. It's not that I don't like the R1S, I just think the Kia is better build for my needs/wants. 1. The seat will be better (Rivan has horrid seat for...
  7. R1S seats causing discomfort

    Look down when you are seated and make sure the trim line is centered between your legs, that helped me a lot. I also now put a little foam piece under my left side. That has made a world of difference. I have service call next month to look at my seat. I'll let you guys here know if they...
  8. R1S seats causing discomfort

    I just checked after months of pain - and I noticed that my driver seat bottom leans to the left. I first noticed that I tend to sit about 1/2 inch to the left of the center line. That lead me to look at the lower seat more for the source of the pain. Using camp mode (leveling) and a box of...
  9. Rivian cost cutting suggestion: Lose the camp speaker

    am I the only one who was disappointed you can't pair the speaker to the truck?!?!? I'd like to have tunes in and out of the truck at times.
  10. Dear Rivian Engineers who worked on the Air Conditioning

    So I just went out and did a test (Truck has been sitting in the hot sun). 1. Flipped up the 3rd row 2. Buckled the belt And: 1. The 3rd row vents came on (as soon as I bucked in) 2. I can't turn them off from the front screen (only turn up) - no cooling logo, still just air 3. They are...
  11. Dear Rivian Engineers who worked on the Air Conditioning

    There may be 1 compressor for the whole truck, but I think there are few different coils for the air to pass through. From the owner's Guide:
  12. Dear Rivian Engineers who worked on the Air Conditioning

    The Problem with AC in the S is "design arrogance" - The S has 3 AC units for all the air volume BUT the 3rd unit is disabled UNLESS the 3rd row is up and buckled!!! Because "no one wants to cool the back unless someone is sitting there" 3 things about this: 1. You should always be able to...
  13. R1S cabin temperature just too hot for Florida

    If your R1S is too hot, have your tried leaving the 3rd row up and the seat belts buckled? Only then can the 3rd AC unit engage. As one with a big dog, this is annoying, as I'd like to run the 3rd row AC with the seat down to keep the dog cool. I'm hoping they fix that with an update soon.
  14. Dear Rivian Engineers who worked on the Air Conditioning

    Saabs(for 20+years), Volvo for sure, I'm pretty sure my GMC, ford and Dodge had it too. (not full tint, but some type of solar / IR reduction in the windshield). The other very sunny day I went from the Rivian to my friend's 5 yr old Kia niro - it has some kind of tint/IR. You can feel it...
  15. Rivian dash rattle

    yes the SC in Vancouver- I was very pleased with the treatment of rattles. I'll take back for the 1 left in the driver window. I think the squeaking will be a live with it for now.
  16. Dead pedal extension mod DIY

    Do you have the link to the pedal you got? (Interesting that when I search amazon, lots of them come up for Telsa)
  17. Dead pedal extension mod DIY

    Same boat here, I'm gonna try that hack to add my own. How far forward did it end up coming?
  18. Anything to fix / extend the dead pedal? (foot rest)

    I find the dead pedal / foot rest is good inch or 2 too far back for the pedal placement. As someone with back issues, that placement is fairly important. Has anyone come up with a way to extend it to make it more useful? Maybe twraps can make something?
  19. Dear Rivian Engineers who worked on the Air Conditioning

    What I can't believe is this "luxury" truck does not have solar tint on all the windows. Here is how I think of it - leave your car for 10 min in the sun - feel the heat? all that heat has to be removed by AC even when the car is driving. Just seems like a massive waste of power to me. A...
  20. Phone as a Key (Paak) - What I've figured out so far - and problem definition

    My new S23 is working MUCH better. Sometimes it's a bit slow, but opens pretty reliable so far. When it is slow, I notice if I rase the phone up to window height it opens right away. Not sure if that is anything yet.
