Noticed I wasn't able to play spotify first. Then got home and tried to connect to my Wifi and realized it wouldn't connect to 5g cellular or my Wifi. My phone app doesn't connect to the truck for the same reason.
Tried a soft reboot, that didn't work. Tried a hard reboot and it tells me it's...
First two are AMAZING updates. I hardly use Driver+ because in L.A. have to change lanes a lot and it's annoying turning it back on every time. Have been begging for waypoints in Nav since day one. Took 9 yeas for Tesla to finally add them, then I switched to Rivian and lost them again. A...
I live in L.A., so Tesla's are a dime a dozen in this area. I'm pretty sure I've seen one or two on the road, but now I can't remember if it was just a nightmare I was having while I slept. Dreams can be so vivid. In any case, I'm not wowed by it. Seen so many photos, videos that seeing it in...
I actually use my ipad mini as a third screen in the Rivian (4th when you count my phone). My ipad gives me the apple stuff while my phone gives me the android stuff.
Thank you for the reply. Other than the potential size advantage over a phone, my thinking was mostly correct? I think?
I loved the second screen that was done for the Model 3/Y. That was integrated into the car.
Forgive my ignorance, but best as I can tell, other than providing a power source to the fuse box instead of the 12v plug directly below, this is not much different than using your phone instead...
Love my Model S cars for 9 years. During that 9 years, their customer service when from amazing white glove service to just atrocious. Nearly enough alone to drive me out the Tesla door.
For most that use their vehicles to commute, the following are things that many can live with. However, for...
Has some specs that are good. Others, not so good.
Truck is a lot shorter than I expected. Looked huge, but Elon did say they were reducing the size. Appears it will be small enough to fit in most garages. The Rivian does, the F-150 is a bit long for many garages, as will be the Silverado and...
Had a hunch that you had a solar system. As someone noted, nothing is actually free. Solar is great, but comes at a cost too, unless you're in an area where the incentives completely offset the costs of the solar system? Unfortunately, those incentives keep going down and adding solar is getting...
Really, you pay "ZERO AT HOME"?? Need to find out where you live that electricity is free! LOL.
And as I noted, for me, it's not so much about the cost, although the cost variance has been significantly reduced with the increase in charging costs, it's more about the time investment. Adding two...
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
The only thing I miss about my Tesla was that I had free supercharging for life.
With the RAN growing, was missing it less and less. Now, having to pay for it, I guess it was inevitable, but still sucks.
I guess my ICE cars will get some more use now on my long distance...
Have to say, gives me a lot of confidence in the stability of Rivian as a company that they are ramping up the installation of these chargers. If they felt there was any chance of failure, likely would be minimizing their investment into chargers. LOVE the RAN network, reminds me of the...
Not fair to refer to the person as "dumb" for using that charger. Could have been any number of reasons.
1. Possibly didn't know the etiquette. Doesn't make him/her dumb, just new to the experience.
2. Possibly when he/she arrived, the other chargers were occupied?
3. Possibly he/she is...
At 2:00 in the morning on a Friday going south, there were virtually no cars on the road going that direction. Middle of the desert on a wide open road with nobody on it. 20 MPH over is pretty common. I keep it around 80 during the day and get run over by passing cars. Even at 90, I had several...
Not sure how long it's been open, but was pleasantly surprised to be guided to the Rivian Adventure Network charger at the south end of Las Vegas on my way out of town. Last time I was there a couple of months ago, it didn't come up.
I think there were 8 chargers. There appeared to be another...
OH, and PLEASE move the darn clock to the driver cluster too. Takes up no space. Such a pain trying to read it while driving in its current location at the far right side of the center screen. Would be nice to be able to just quickly glance down to the driver screen to know what time it is.
You're not getting the message. Not here to whine. Here to educate and help others to avoid the same issues. While EA at this location is horrible, I owned up to my own mistake. Easy to do. My post was 100% purely to warn other Rivian owners to avoid this location. You apparently didn't read the...
Not every EV owner knows all the tricks they need to follow. They're told the car will route them to the nearest charger necessary to continue their trip.
I spend A TON OF TIME talking with other EV owners to help educate them so they can avoid the downfalls of EV ownership. Even at this stop...
