It got into a mode where it stopped after each selection. Pushing start would play the next track then stop. It seems to be fixed. I don't know what I did.

Sirius was working well until after the 2025.46 update. This update was supposed to fix a problem with Sirius XM that I have never noticed. Actually, it seems to have made things worse..After the update, the audio eventually drops out for the remainder of the trip. It resumes if you put the...

After the 2025.46 update installed, the phone app started nagging me to set up my digital key; saying that without it some functions would be unavailable. I finally attempted the digital key setup, even though I new it would fail. I have an older Samsun Z-flip phone. The setup failed. However...

250 feet is a large error for GPS, but its plausible. There could be several reasons. You could be receiving reflected signals from one or more directions in your locations. Everyone knows GPS needs a clear view of the sky, but it's not so commonly known that it has problems with interference...

The third row has vents that only blow cabin air. It's best to leave them off in cold weather. I do not understand what auto mode means for the third row vents. The third row seats do have heaters that you can turn on. You might want blankets for extreme cold weather.

Thanks for the tip.

The manual says you can open the doors, if they are unlocked and stuck, by pressing on the forward part of thee handle..

I have had a Rivian R1S Quad for 3 months. It has only about 600 miles. I have had no issues so far. No reboots no service appointments. I kerp my car plugged into a level 2 chager in my garage. I did have an issue with the key fob, but it turned out to be my problem. I like the vehicle. Don't...

The 12 V battery charges if the car is connect to an AC charger. It also charges from the HV battery if its voltage falls below a preset voltage.

If you wake up the vehicle once in a while it will charge the 12 V battery.

You are going to break clips, if you work on car interiors. It's a good idea to have spare clips on hand before you start. Breaking the trim is another story.

Energy is measured in KWh; power is measured in. KW. The SI (metric) unit is the Joule (J). 1 KWh = 3.,6 MJ The peak solar input at sea-level is about 1 KW per square meter with no clouds etc. Pretty good solar cells are about 20% efficient, so there you are. As a rule of thumb, you can...

I think that the idea is for the 18 KWhr pack is for backup only. The Rivian only charges and maintains the backup pack. It is not intended to supply the home in an emergency.

Level 2 chargers are really simple. They provides simple isolation, ground fault detection, current limiting, communications with the vehicle and other safety protection. A 2 way charger would need to add the ability for the isolation circuits to pass power in both directions.The hardware to...

What a clever solution. I would never have thought of that.

I investigated this. I found that, for now, the external inverter needed in the home for the R1 is pretty costly. In fact, it costs about the same than installing rooftop solar with storage, although the Tesla Powerwall does not have the capacity of a max battery pack. With the R2's built in...

As I recall, Citroen had high beam headlights that turned with the steering, too.

1. I bought a sunroof shade that I will never use. I ended up adding Xpel tint to everything but the windshield. The Xpel window film heavily absorb UV and IR regardless of its visible light transmission. 2. The cargo bars. The R1S is just too tall to reach stuff on the roof without a step...

I doubt that I will ever use the kick turn feature (or launch mode either); I might look at the RAN tuner. I bought the quad because I'm a retired electrical engineer. I like gadgets. Seriously, think that the quad offers better control in all driving modes. Always maintaining controll is one of...

Agreed. TVM calculations require assumptions because hard data is not usually available. Economics is messy that way. Opinions and guesses matter. You have to do the best you can.
