Knowing the survey is closed, I'll offer this thing that I was able to do with the R1S. As it has been very cold and snowy winter here in MI (and pretty much everywhere), our neighborhood mail-box station doors were frozen shut. They are aluminum but far away from anyone's unit in the middle...
Thank you Mikekantorski_tech. Very much appreciate the work and honesty that goes into all your video feeds. This forum sometimes hurts the very brand it tries to help. Also, I very much enjoyed the winter tire /vs/ all-season test video last week as well. Every week Friday, is another look...
Ok. West Michigan winters are salty. Been doing the car wash thing for a while but have trended to the only car wash in town that cleans mats bcuz the std Riv mats only hold salt!
The current rear gate is both physical switch at the rear entry under the riVian. But there is also a soft key infotainment open/close under the vehicle symbol. It would be no problem for Rivian to double-click the physical button to do glass and single click to do just as it does today, open...
Ok. Just finished this same exact issue. The cloud persona and your truck are not in sync. Nothing wrong with the vehicle but if you canāt get your connectivity + subscription to show, that is the vehicle telling you there is a (null) value in the cloud. Also, not mention but when you are in...
Down Jacket, electric down blanket and a couple power bars. The food goes bad every year.
The one item Iāve had in the trunk for decades and have finally ditched ā cigarette plug driven CB radio. The reason is my car no longer has a cigarette plug!!!
Decide on a few things that are important to you. Do you want off-peak cost of charging power in your area? And are you signed up for it with your local utility? WIFI connectivity? Cost to charge over a month? Peak amps (32A, 40A, 50A, more?), including software defined power delivery...
Yeah, This leaving the phone in the car and not being able to use the watch has happened to me too. Again, the force awakening (I agree SW reference) allows the watch to work and also can help use the keycard to work as well. There is the path of crawling through the now open trunk to get to...
This has happened to me twice. Here is the workaround... Go to the back of the R1S or front of the R1 vehicle and either open the trunk or frunk with the button while wearing your watch or keycard. This force-awakens the R1 and you should be successful at opening doors as they present...
Love to wave at Rivians. About 1/2 wave back. Even in Bloomington where you'd think Rivian community was strong. Too bad we can't agree on a relaxed Rivian two-finger standard where we create a lower-case 'r' as a wave signature. I'm sure there are Rivian drivers that have a better standard...
What is yet again interesting is Iām not arguing FOR CP but rather what Rivian did deliver, Apple Music. Because it is so lackluster, it keeps CP discussions going. If Rivian really delivered Apple Music integration; no 1-2 min lag loading Favorites, limited playlists, non/syncing with playlists...
Every example mentioned, is either the auto company deployment of Apple's second screen or the App Mfr trying to figure out what can be ported from a page-rich app to a single second screen projection.
Please donāt try and defend Rivian. They ship compromised infotainment software. 5 yrs in...
What was especially enjoyable about your reply is Rivian never promised the last paragraph of obvious Apple enabled API features, ever. Yet Rivian provides them only within the context of the phoneās O/S being updated to support PAAK.
CP has features, they are useful to many, and are superior...
Having tuned cars for years, I wonder about EVs that loose mfg software support. Will the tuner community step in a juice F-150 lightnings?, add features to pre gen4 hardware teslas, give more performance to gen1 Rivians?
Iād say maybe. If they can co opt the transport wiring from MobileEye, they could use the mirror cutout for lidar/cameras. It likely would mean Gen3+ hardware to handle lower res cameras.
Both lifetime Autonomy+ & Connectivity+ as a Gen2/LE. Oh and 22āwheels, BT speaker, welcome kit with a few accessories including a fob and hand warmer plus 6 months of charging with using a reference code. Oh yeah, 1,025hp. If used or not, itās in there. Drive-on with a smile š
