  1. Rivian service center load and number of car defects that need to be addressed

    FWIW, I am closest to the ATL SC. I got in 4 weeks after my call to address all my delivery items (a few panel gaps, some scratches in Frunk and Lights). They fixed 100% of the items, all panel gaps are solid. Only bad part was we live in NC so it was a 4 hour drive. The SC was fine, I can...
  2. Connect+.... I call bullshit

    connect+ is essentially a data plan for $15 a month. Which is a fair rate. The other stuff are perks but somewhat meh. Without data plan you couldn’t get the satellite imagery as it changes over time. Could be coding problematic if they tried to let folks push updates via BT tether. Tesla used...
  3. Bait and switch - frustrated with inability to use music apps without Connect+

    Think of Connect+ at its core is an internet access account. Just like cell phone, your house, or other vehicle manufacturers. It would be nice if there was a bundle option for Tidal (since Apple Music you can bundle a number of ways) and Spotify has such a large base they likely wouldnt...
  4. Huge Remorse with new R1S 2025 Gen 2

    Sorry about all that. I have a Gen 1 and the software, including Apple Music, has been very stable. I think twice I had to reset as one of the drive mode options disappeared after an update but thats it. I wonder if these issues need a full system reformat/restore like a PC. Sometimes a...
  5. Tapping out as well, goodbye Rivian...

    Good luck and enjoy the new ride. I had a 4xe longterm rental and didn’t like it. Had less than 1000 miles and had 3 events that caused the tranny to disengage between electric snd ICE modes and 3 that the brakes just lost power. Not bashing as I like the like just be mindful as my wife stopped...
  6. New Kicks! Black Rhino Voltaic Wheels & Nitto Recon Grappler A/T Tires Installed on R1T

    OGs look good I think but side by side the new shoes are better. Any improvement to efficiency?
  7. Door speaker rattles, what is the best approach?

    Sounds like a blown speaker to me. Could be something loose but I have that before in a speaker that has popped components. It needs to be replaced. I would start with the SC before you do anything so they don’t say you broke it applying Dynomat.
  8. Best Screen Cleaner?

    Ideally distilled water not tap. You don’t want to scratch the glass if you are in an area of hard water or other chemical comps. Clean these like you would your TVs or monitors.
  9. Are the music apps going to improve?

    I don’t get the hate on Apple Music. 2024 R1T and the app works well, I like the GUI, it’s snappy, syncs with my account efficiently and Dolby Atmos music sounds very good. I do have good audio Speakers and DAC at the house it can’t be as good as that though it is solid in the Rivian. Sure...
  10. Audison Prima Box w/ Amp 22 R1T Installed under rear seats

    Do notice any sonic differences or distractions using 2 different subs right next to each other vs same brand, same power, and placed symmetrically?
  11. SiriusXM coming soon?

    What’s coming is the app not the true satellite radio and likely will need connect+. True Sat radio would need updates to the head unit and antenna. If there were doing that they would have announced in gen2. If it’s a true hardware upgrade not part of gen 2 would be frustrating for many.
  12. Range and Battery Comparison Thought - What am I missing?

    Easier to think about it in terms of efficiency x battery size. You usage of AC, tire size/weight, heavy foot etc, road altitude changes, will drive your range. I have averaged between 2.1-2.5 miles per kWh. If range is most important pick max pack and 21s. I didn’t think the max pack range...
  13. Where have all the R1Ts gone in the Shop?

    Was a voucher holder. I waited a long while because I wanted more info. First on the max packs, then the Gen 2s, and then better financial strategy and execution. I picked mine up last month. 2024 R1T large with all terrain package. Spoke to my guide alot, had me in priority list for weeks...
  14. Keep Side view mirrors folded at slow speeds?

    Hello. Is there a way to keep them folded when driving at slow speeds? For example closing them when parking in a tight spot and want to keep them away for a garage column or when loading the vehicle onto a trailer. Our other truck you can simulatneously press the 2 buttons used to adjust the...
  15. Sirius radio

    You could use a SiriusXM car kit. I have been a subscriber since 2007. I have a lifetime subscription I bought pre-merger with Sirius (came from the XM side). I love it. The sound quality is compressed but I love the genre radio stations, comedy shows, and business news. We do go out skiing...
  16. Battery size: Gen 1 vs Gen 2

    Yes but at less performance that’s the eff gain. Generally in housing if your in a hot climate pick a traditional AC if your in a cooler climate your most cost efficient and energy efficient option is a heat pump. A heat pump is a conditinal solution it’s not best in all scenarios.
  17. New Owner of a 2023 R1T Max Pack. Scored a killer lease deal. Amazing ride

    Same as below can you pay the residual values and other lease Calc data points?
