Let’s discuss this again after new CarPlay releases. If Rivian does not implement then, we can probably assume it is not happening. I vote for Gary to pop up and handle text messaging, virtual wheel for him to handle Driver+, DJ Gary for our music needs
Props to those who make their living off YouTube, however not sure how many of my generation feel the need to support an "influencer". (lot of sarcasm in me acknowledging the word infuencer) Look, I believe more of what people here in my position who own something because we want to, and we give...
Didn't watch the video, got enough in 1-7. It is the 1st ever vehicle, and stupidly impressive at that. CP is more Apple fault for being so far behind in landscape screen support, so RJ smart not to put an awkward interface on his creation (yet). Agree cruise should work on all roads like most...
Congratulations! Just installed weather tech mats a week ago, better than Rivian mats if in a wet or snow part of country. Most people here have covered the necessities, just enjoy the new ride
Have an R1T and a Ram 1500. I have always been a fill up at 1/2 tank, charge the phone at 50%, and turned off battery % in Rivian, so apparently I have some issues. 1st couple of months range anxiety hit me as watching battery drop was stupidly consuming and stressful. Fast fwd, going Thursday...
Grew up and graduated early 80’s in So Cal. Was a really good time, music was good, cell phone bill for $40 for 40 minuets of talk time. Dodge Caravan was the R1S of the day, ok maybe a stretch there. More pay phones then than Starbucks now. Didn’t give a rats a** about politics. We actually...
Not sure if my truck was built on a Wednesday, but guess I am lucky(er)
I have noticed my wife’s phone as key works better than mine. Identical iPhone, by my otter box seems to be the issue over her case, I live with it.
Who really likes a MFG NAV system?Raise your hand if you do? No one? We...
Had similar issue with a truck several years ago, can’t remember if it was my Ford or Ram, but it would slam on the brakes when close to a polished fuel tanker. Software update narrowed field of front camera detection enough to resolve issue. Hopefully that easy to fix for Rivian
I think someone needs to do a fair review of the new system. No where in any comments have we seen Rivian stopped using Meridian speakers, only that they have changed to a new amp they can use in both vehicles. We know (1) mid range was removed from rear doors, and less rare earth materiel is...
It is a big expense no matter how you look at it. Being semi retired I agree there are better things in life to spend over 1k/mo on, and as good as a Rivian is, enjoy something better. If you cancel, you help yourself, Rivian, and someone down the line that is accepting of that monthly expense...
If you scroll down to about the bottom of IOS16 features on the Apple site, you will see a brief description of the new CarPlay coming late this year. Would bet Rivian will time their release along side Apple’s as it is designed for vehicles with larger landscape/multiple displays.
Most likely...
When did we become a world of glass is always half empty people? How is everyone's on time performance finishing all items on the wife's honey-do list? RJ seems to be a quality focused individual who spent a lot of time designing the details of this vehicle with him team. Given this is the 1st...
Have mine on a 60a breaker with #1 aluminum wire (planned for lightning) and get 11.5/22mi hour. Read on Rivian up to 25/mph but never seen anyone post above 22 in real world.
No duh from me as you already know some of the fixes. Maybe I missed it in which case I get the “duh” but I think people tend to forget traction settings on vehicles. So many vehicles have aggressive tire slipping programs it is almost dangerous.
Trying to get moving around a corner, or a bit...
I have a 2019 Ram with air suspension which I find to be quieter that my R1T. Sure some noise comes from the Rivian roll control, but overall no issues with air suspension. Rivian is quicker to inflate/deflate, but ride quality is similar. Downside of springs is lack of load leveling which is a...
Color is a deeply personal choice. FE looked horrible online, but after a flight to Venice in CA last year, it was actually impressive. Wife wanted OC for quite some time, but after looking at both in Denver, she went back to FE. Keeping OC clean, and the richness of FE was her reasoning...
I believe Rivian will tread lightly with much of this. There has to be a balance of profitability and continued growth. You can't charge 100k for a vehicle and expect to nickel and dime people to death for everything in the car, everyone will bail on the company. So far MFG'S are looking to test...
