If its like the R1S spare tire ($755), it will also come packaged with a jacking kit, storage mechanism, and tools to swap it out. Still pricey but it will all fit nicely.
Esker Silver (included) or the only actual color Catalina Cove ($2000)... aka Catalina Cove to be discontinued in 2027 because sales data shows the masses only "like" silver.
I hope this is the beginning of true vehicle to load capability for rivian, using the vehicle's inverter to supply the load. If that's the case, this 'device' is just a pass through with a GFCI on it. If true next could be dongles for 240v outlets.
This thing has a 5-20r outlet which is...
They should shutdown production and admit the failure, this was a design for a super niche crowd.
Only chance they have to salvage it would be to get rid of the SS faceted look and slap some new panels with curves and paint to make it more inviting.
Less options for EVs in the US is not a good thing, so sad to see this. I supposed Lucid may benefit from cross shoppers of the S?
As for robots in manufacturing- Its more cost effective to design the process to be fully automated than it would be to just "simply" drop in a humanoid robot in...
Coffee mug with handle and no lid spills when you hit the brakes? An organizer isn't going to fix that problem.
Drive more cautiously with a hand on your mug or get something with a lid that fits in the cup holders. Yeti 20oz tumbler fits perfectly and contains spills.
Our xc40 electric has a heat pump that sounds like a jet engine, similar to the R1. Just saying Volvo might not be the solution (also kinda relevant - their infotainment system is riddled with bugs they cant fix).
HVAC compressors inherently make a bunch of noise. If the refrigerant loop is...
You pay $214 for registration of the truck, then you get a notice and have to pay an additional $250 for the road user charge (EV tax). The $48 normal fee is not charged on trucks.
My vote - any rivian vehicle as a loaner would be excellent.
Or even any EV would be better than the enterprise nissan sentra I won in the rental roulette at Malvern,PA. EVs are not widely accepted by the populous around here so they don't stock much at enterprise.
Hopefully the R2 has good...
I hope it's not discontinued, such a cool color. When you charge 1K+ more for the cool colors vs the base model greys you are naturally going to get fewer orders from price conscious customers.
Put some bold colors on base models and maybe we'll see more uptake!
-Option to save kneel mode setting at specific locations. or just a quick on/off toggle not buried in the menu
-equalizer change to voice setting when a podcast is playing.
The problem is that there is big money involved in keeping the market dynamics from shifting, so it's not always as simple as make a better product. The market needs some intervention to be guided in a sustainable direction to counteract abuse to the population (asbestos was an inexpensive...
I played around with some settings and it looks like they might have attached the phone proximity settings to the fob.
Not intuitive, but try changing the proximity behavior to "lock and unlock" and see if that helps.
I replaced my battery for good measure, no improvement. This update must have broke something, thanks for the confirmation @PC UT R1S ! Hopefully they'll fix this on the next one.
No Fob update was provided on this update for me.
Anyone who uses their fob as a primary key notice worse performance since the last update? Proximity Lock/unlock has been functioning so well the last six months that I barely think about it.
Since this last update I am back to standing at my door waiting for the truck to unlock. Reminiscent...
This is interesting, and explains why I haven't seen the motors doing their heating cycle in my truck so far this year.
Any chance you could switch into sport mode during one of your experiments to see if the temperature regulation kicks in to a higher level?
How to make it happen - submit feedback to Rivian and maybe they'll listen.
Reality - Rivian provides the portable charger to make sure the average customer has an option to charge at home. Their cost to develop and supply additional adapters with such low demand would probably not gain them...
First - if your garage isn't sealed and insulated than a heater of any kind is a waste of energy. You won't get any significant heat into the truck while trying to warm up the neighborhood.
Second - Plug in the truck and remote preheat before you leave or set a schedule preheat if you're a gen...
