if you use Driver+ it'll use the friction brake to slow the vehicle to maintain its distance to the car in front of you. if you have dynamic brake assist turned on, it will apply the friction brake if the system thinks you might potentially hit the car in front of you. and there's the...
OK, I found grease leaking from the CV boot/joint area. its only on the front left wheel, other 3 wheels are dry. the clicking i've been hearing coming from the front left of the vehicle is likely related to this. i have a service appt in mid Sept and ive added this detail. seems like i may...
I noticed some black grease/reside around the interior wheel well and control arms. Looking a bit further, I noticed some green colored grease leaking out of the CV Boot/Joint area. I'm assuming that's the grease that's been "sprayed" around. I've been experiencing clicking noises when I...
i started this thread to try to collect the hive minds input and experience on what is and isn't normal sounds from the R1.

i absolutely hate the loss of volume control on my Meridian system. annoying as f%@k.
imo, that and the sound quality overall was dialed in on the Meridian system. not sure why Rivian thinks they know more than an established audio company that has been doing this for almost 50 years. to...
The Meridian Elevation was a great system. The sound quality at all volume levels and all sources was great and I had it dialed in with the EQ. Then after the latest update, with no other changes, it completely sounds different, in a bad way.
I've been fiddling with the EQ every since and...
As I suspected, this is materially only going to benefit YTbers and social media influencers. Us common folks will see very little benefit. I get that "celebrities" bring in advertising, PR, clicks but kind of a joke to 99% of the Rivian community tbh.
And that special event for 25 referrals...
nailed it! referral program.
only thing about a referral program is it really ends up only benefitting YTbers and those with some social media presence. rest of us not much. if this is what it ends up being, lets see how Rivian implements it
id love to hear your opinion on the latest update. some thoughts on the Meridian system after the update:
no surprise but everything got louder (not a good thing imo) - less control over volume levels now. i have to turn it down to 1 or off to have a conversation whereas before i could leave...
100% agree. im experiencing the same thing. i hate the boost in volume. now its either off, whisper, or loud. used to have great volume control between 1-5 so i could have a conversation and still hear music. now it has to be basically off (or at 1) and im constantly adjusting when talking...
id like to revert to the previous update as well mainly due to the changes in audio. i have the Meridian Elevation and sound got noticeably worse. ive been adjusting the EQ but haven't found the right settings yet. Apple Music + Spatial Audio does create a different kind of immersive...
good question but surprised you dont know what you bought. ?
quick way to check is by looking at the speaker grille in the front doors.
Meridian Elevation(Gen1) - it says Meridian Elevation
Rivian Elevation(Gen1) - there is a compass logo
Rivian Premium Audio(Gen2) - not sure, id guess...
Can you please list what sound system you have? Saying it improved doesnt mean a whole lot when we don't know if youre on Meridian Elevation (Gen1), Rivian Elevation (Gen1), Rivian Premium Audio (Gen2 but is likely Rivian Elevation Gen1) or Rivian Standard Audio (Gen2).
I have Meridian...
