I'm not defending what's in place (though, for the record, I don't see it as an issue any more than cars with child-locks enable and/or coupes with no rear doors), I was simply responding to OP's statement that they didn't understand why it was done this way.
I don't have an opinion about the voice but I was forcing myself to use the assistant yesterday and asked it to navigate a few times where she'd confirm where I asked to go and then nothing would happen. I later was driving in the mountains where I lost signal and I got a response that rivian...
I imagine this is exactly what they will do in June. Allow us to configure what we want, attached to our reservation, and if we pick something that isn't immediately available, we will just have to wait. I'm fine waiting a few months for ocean Coast interior.
My config:
Launch Edition, Catalina Cove, 20" Wheels, Coastal Cloud Interior: $61,990
And all the charging stuff because it's free to CA residents (Portable Charger $400; J1772 Adapter $50; Combo CCS1 DC Adapter $200).
I saw that photo too, on an Instagram post Rivian made specifically about the R2. I was also confused what the teal calipers were for as I have not seen an R2 with them and I don't think we will be seeing a trimotor R2 any time soon. I assume they're R1 calipers despite the post being about R2
I've saved myself from several collisions because of the horn.
People backing up, not seeing you - a quick beep beep gets their attention.
I've seen people pulling out of driveways, looking the opposite direction and getting ready to make their move, a quick beep beep lets them know you're...
That's not an issue I've ever seen. Mine is always on the correct album cover. It could be phone related and not Rivian related.
For example, my phone didn't show ANY album art until I went into the advanced settings and changed the Bluetooth protocol to AVRCP 1.6 -- before fixing that, I...
Rims don't really affect range or rolling resistance - it's mostly down to the tires. The only affect a rim specifically would have would be the difference in weight of the wheel/tire combo. All else being equal (i.e. same tires on 21" vs 20") you'll have negligible difference in range and...
I noticed when I first sat in the back of my R1S that it, surprisingly, felt more cramped than the backseat of my Model Y. It's still enough room but it seems like the second row was definitely compromised to make room for the third row
I initially thought that mine were hit or miss but then I noticed that I just wasn't hitting the buttons hard enough. My buttons click and do nothing but if I push farther past the detent, it opens every time.
It's hit or miss. Works sometimes. I've used it with Hulu, Prime Video, HBO, Peacock. When it really doesn't want to work, I've had to reset the infotainment system and I've found a phone restart sometimes helps as well. It's definitely the Rivian integration (and/or AT&T) though as...
