  1. Gen 2 HVAC - Success Stories?

    Yea. No. I will not. Again not looking for people who are good with this sound. I am not interested (like at all) with justifications for it. If you are happy or fine with it. That’s great but that’s not what this thread is for. Simple question - did you have a service done to your car that...
  2. Gen 2 HVAC - Success Stories?

    Yes, I did. For 3 years, through 3 New England winters. It was never this loud. Not remotely close. This isn’t some gentle hum. It literally sounds like a leaf blower (gas). I do not have a garage and that doesn’t really help me when I am leaving from somewhere other than my house. Nor does it...
  3. Gen 2 HVAC - Success Stories?

    Hello - I just traded my Gen 1 for a Gen 2 Tri. Love everything about it except the leaf blower that they seemed to have installed under my hood to handle HVAC. I am sitting in my living room about 25 feet away from the car in my driveway and I can hear the loud hum from here. Inside the car...
  4. Purchasing frustration

    Rivian gave me $4k more than Carvana for my R1S trade in (unsure if they pay more for Rivians?). So I was the opposite of OP (and I had to trade in with Rivian really for the tax savings too.) As for our pre-order poster, I am flummoxed . . . There was an absolute ton of time to get a car and...
  5. The unwanted first child (Gen 1) of a forgotten relationship?

    You prefer the Gen 1 to Gen 2? That’s very interesting. I just swapped a Gen 1 Quad for a Gen 2 Tri. The Gen 2, to me, is so much better in nearly every way. The motors are smoother and more powerful (even after dropping one), the cameras are night and day (like amazingly different), the Tri is...
  6. Purchasing advice - Gen 1 vs Gen 2

    I just went from a gen 1 quad to a gen 2 tri. I think the gen 2 is hands down better in all respects other than maybe audio (I have no issues with it) and the door handles (if that’s a concern). The suspension is better. The tri motor is more powerful/responsive. The range is better (of course I...
  7. Rivian Digital Key Tutorial (How to Install, Use, Share)

    I just picked up my R1S (Gen 2) - the Rivian space hadn’t updated the software so I when the key was set up, it was old PAAK. I have never recieved the e-mail/alert (Iā€˜ve already tried various things like deleting keys, restarts, etc. etc.). My PAAK is working fine (100% fine). Do I bother...
  8. Feature Request: eco route option in Nav

    Agreed. At least put the leaf income next to the most efficient route of the ones they currently select.
  9. Gen1 Quad - New Mode Requested: Dual Motor

    I just traded in my gen 1 quad for a tri. The tri is so much smoother and seemingly more powerful . . . And I definitely prefer the conserve mode. While dumb financially, I am so far quite pleased with the swap.
  10. Has anyone gotten the 2025.46 Update yet? Please tell us your location and date you received.

    I just picked up a Tri (traded in my Gen 1) and it wasn’t updated. The sales dude set up my phone on the prior version (which I would have skipped had I realized it wasn’t updated and was paying attention). Then I got home, promptly updated and now I don’t have the digital key option. I’ve seen...
  11. NACS to J1772 Adapter Recommendations

    Some newer Tesla destination chargers include the adapter (they are Universal Chargers) so it is possible that he could plug in, but there was an error of some sort. We have them at the place I ski (although i use my own adapter and never really figured out how they work otherwise).
  12. Grok on Tesla - it's seriously amazing. Can't wait for Rivian to introduce their AI assistant

    Could you explain more re: what that means? I have no interest in conversing with a bot, but I’m curious how it is integrated.
  13. Another lever that can be pulled for RIVN financial health

    Reduce a warranty on a car with numerous services issues so I can tank turn once to what it does and then never use the feature again? That’s a no from me (I also can’t fathom needing more than the HP of my current quad - I’d take it for sure, but not at $5k with a ā€œreducedā€ warranty.
  14. Charging rant from new owner still green around the gills

    This is the issue with EVs. I am fully aware of all of this stuff and understand it and more than happy to deal with the quibbles. For a non-EV obsessed person, how the heck can we expect them to know the ins and outs of all of this charging crap? The NACS becoming 100% adopted can't come soon...
  15. Rivian Lease Buyout Guide: Comprehensive Slide Deck

    Roger - any purchase vs. finance decision has to factor in the deployment of cash (and loss of return) vs. the cost of financing. That I certainly agree with.
  16. Rivian Lease Buyout Guide: Comprehensive Slide Deck

    You really need to research this as you are wrong. Like 100% wrong - the credit plus other lease incentives saves a ton over buying outright. So why would people not take advantage of this?
  17. Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Solution is Coming Soon... (seriously) -- by EV Play

    You need a phone. CarPlay is just mirroring what is on your phone. Curious about this use case - you drive places without your phone?
  18. 2026 Quad-Motor R1S / R1T Officially Revealed (Specs & Price)

    It is a halo/low-volume product whose primary purpose is to make the Tri pricing seem reasonable/more affordable. They released it in 2 color combos because they aren't expecting many buyers . . . you are supposed to buy the Tri rather than the dual. . . not the quad rather than the tri...
  19. Reuters: US safety agency contacts Tesla on robotaxi issues seen in online videos

    I said there is zero evidence. That’s a true statement. Show me some objective evidence on FSD unsupervised. If you do not have any do not respond. I am not looking at anything as I don’t care one way or another. I got rid of my Tesla and will not be buying another one and there is not going to...
