Blended Braking and the Improved Auto-Hold for snow mode are huge for me.
I'm driving up over mountains very frequently (Tahoe) and run into the re-gen limited all the time. It's worse now that it's trying to be winter. It makes the driving dynamics hard to predict. I expect this to be a very...
In my experience there aren’t many more options. Mammoth Lakes is a weird charging desert.
The Westin has L2 charging for guests. Looks like Juniper Springs and Mammoth Lodge do now too.
Last summer I stayed at Tamarack Lodge and saw a Lucid Air borrowing power with a 110 extension cord. I...
I got mine at the start of June, so just about 5 months now.
it’s been into service 4 times so far.
1. fix a failed AC compressor that happened on a hot drive the first month.
2. Fix a ton of small things that were wrong at delivery, some rear bumper damage, panel gaps, trim lose, some...
I put Hakkapelitta R5 SUVs on my R1T on the 22" rims. Been driving them since late October, but still waiting for any real snow to give them a real test. I'm in Tahoe and so far we've only had an inch or so on the roads.
I did read some random Reddit thread that the Hakkapeliitta LT3s are...
I just asked Rivian support chat what was up with these. They couldn't give me a new ETA. Told them to relay some feedback that it would have been better for them to not provide dates at all if they couldn't hit them. Very low trust with any specific or rough date provided by Rivian.
With all the issues I had at delivery and then an air suspension issue that showed up later, I'm not surprised by this. All my issues have been fixed so far.
I love my truck. But I'm gonna hesitate to hold onto it past the warranty. Especially after watching this walkthrough of the wiring...
They suggest there is an early termination fee on ending a lease early. That kind of thing is the big gotcha on leasing. Long story to explain my experience with my last 2 cars, both leased:
Previously I leased a 2019 Volvo V60 and my 2022 Volvo C40 came just a few months before my V60 lease...
They still need to fix the bugs though. The version number is probably just tagging a release and running a build. Unless they have some convoluted release train type methodology where they are cherry picking features or fixes between branches. I don't see why they would do that because they...
wow that’s really bad.
I’m still on 2023.38 and had my truck parked at the airport for 6 days. Left gear guard on and everything. Vampire drain was about 6-8%.
I was on vacation too, and waiting to update until I got back. Got home yesterday, went to apply the update and it was gone.
Seems like they did pull it.
My R1T had been parked at the airport since last Saturday and I saw the update available in the app. But I didn’t want to kick off the update remotely and return home to a truck with issues.
Home now and I just went to see about the update and it’s not there anymore. Neither the app or...
Yeah, I suspect different modules are different software stacks, and possibly even different VMs running on the QNX hypervisor. Some are much more mission critical than others, with different requirements, and could even have different software stacks.
Probably different software teams, do...
If it works like I think it does, these updates are a VM that gets swapped out. It’s the entire android operating system plus whatever Rivian software is on there.
that is signed and checksummed as a whole bundle.
Apple does a similar thing with iOS and macOS, which is why their updates can...
I did this once when my R1T was sitting at the SC. I pushed go on the update at like 7AM the day I was going to pick it up. While I was driving there, I got a kind of panicked call from one of the service advisors suggesting maybe I don't come, because my car seemed bricked, they couldn't even...
Hehe, yeah my wife, who drives our Rivian more than me does not have the app on her phone. Has no interest in installing it. Uses a key fob.
I handle the software updates, any service center stuff, all of that.
