I have both... the Chilewich mats look so much better in the truck. I'm only planning to use my all-weather mats when the weather or activity warrants.
The all-weather mats are thick and rubbery, similar to Husky. They fit great, but don't cover the edges as tightly as Weathertech would.
My mom wasn't able to get in my R1T. :(
She can get in my RAM 1500.... thanks to the running boards and the placement of the grab handle. I'm not sure I'd buy running boards for the rare cases it would be nice to have her get in... but it's also weird that I have to take the bigger, taller...
Iām pretty sure Rivian thinks everyone should just use their phone. The key fob seems more like a show piece than something to actually use.
Personally, I think they should abandon the wristband and make an Apple Watch app. They could charge money for it if they wanted.
BuiltRight is...
Personally, I think the way to handle it is to ask Rivian for specific features you miss from CarPlay.
Iām hoping at some point Rivian either invest in the ecosystem to make it rich enough on its own that people donāt severely miss CarPlay⦠or realize itās unrealistic to think they can do...
I don't think they have any cameras that would detect that....
On the plus side, it's not exactly what you're asking for... but there is a brand new 'automatic' height setting for both Conserve and All Purpose modes. In my (limited) experience, it errs on the side of high (eg: normal height on...
...actually, another I'd like to see is setting a maximum internal temperature if the battery is above a certain percentage. The app has reported 130-140 degrees on hot days... and I live in WA state!
(for those keeping score, that reduces CarPlay effectiveness to 60%)
Things Iād love to see:
Always default to primary key seat position (or seat position furthest from pedals would work, too)
Waze data in maps (construction, police, hazards, etc)
Integrate Alexa in a meaningful way
Apple or Amazon music apps
Note: 75% of this list could be resolved with...
Does the Rivian app honor those settings?
For those who are defending the app, maybe I'm doing something wrong. In the Spotify mobile app I can navigate in the main home screen. The home screen in the Rivian has very limited options and lacks podcasts and shows. I'm shocked anyone thinks...
Personally, I like the black ones better. I still like the Chilewich ones the most. I'll only be putting my all weather ones in when the weather or excursions call for it.
It'll be interesting to see how many 'defects' pop up as vehicles show up at the XPEL installers. I think a lot of those installers feel like they're kind of getting screwed. Some are probably real and missed during initial inspection, but always a little suspicious of people doing work with a...
Given the problems they seem to be having with the current cover and how many replacements they Will be doing, Iām sure Rivian is glad itās plastic and not dramatically more expensive solar.
I've had a whole bunch of memorable stories. A couple worth sharing:
When I first got the truck in March, the owner of a car dealership (that I was a previous customer of) was one of the first to mob my car. We were leaving an event. He was so excited and checked it out thoroughly. He said...
