Get the Rivian blue with black wheels and dark out package. You won’t regret it. I haven’t . The blue varies in the light as others have said. It’s a great color. I get a lot of comments.
This is an older thread but updating based on latest software.
Owner of gen2 R1S PDM
Driving mode will revert to all purpose and height reverts to auto after 4 hours per manual. Last software update seems to have sealed the deal. The Gen2 manual reflects this.
Acceleration curve definitely...
tesla has it setup so you can long press the up/down button and a specific thing to adjust or a menu can come up. Rivian could let you customize a page or two of the left hand display and you could interact with it via a long press then roll up or down.
the drive mode interface is a bit clunky to use while driving. It’s pretty and explanatory but none of that is what you want while driving. I’d like to see another way to change modes without traversing the main screen and having to press a few times.
I’d like to be able to pull up a...
I’m not sure what your vampire drain is but on my rev2 R1S I lose about 1 kWh total a day which is very good for an EV. And I’m using electrafi to query data from the vehicle which likely increases it.
My model 3 loses 2-3 kWh of power a day usually. And it doesn’t have air suspension that...
a good use for the drive camera is when parking in large garages I try to park where the camera can see a location sign. Then if I can’t find my car I check the camera. Worked with my Tesla and these cameras are better resolution so should work even better.
yeah I’d like to have another page in left driver screen that has distance and efficiency for this drive and since last charge like Tesla has. And would be nice to be able to adjust the energy graph to different time ranges.
Or perhaps offer some customization ability like how you can add...
Sometimes the regen noise is intrusive but I’m sure I will get used to it. I’m wondering if the noise is coming from chassis harmonics or something like that since the power output is strangely similar between motors in a Tesla Model 3 performance version and an R1S dual. (Model 3p pre 2024...
I’m new to rivian but with our teslas there was minimal negative impact from heat on range and it didn’t happen until it got really hot. AC doesn’t hit teslas hard and lower air density enhances aerodynamics. Plus it’s less likely to have conditions with increased rolling resistance for tires...
For iOS the promise was that you’d have a key you could trigger from within the Wallet app that would use UWB for Gen 2. That does not appear to be implemented yet as far as I can tell but hoping someone else knows more about this so I am watching this thread.
The PAAK behavior is not as...
do the more extensive reset and probably will fix as it did for me (nav messed up, front sensor warning, auto wipers broken) after doing this all was good:
Hold the far left button on the steering wheel and the emergency flasher button for about 15 seconds. The entire computer will restart...
I used Teslafi for years with two Teslas and it is a great platform. Just got my R1S and trying out ElectraFi currently. The efficiency vs speed and vs temperature is pretty cool as is the ability to see where you’ve been.
it does have some quirks as it seems to use Wh/mi in some places and...
Agreed - removing engine noise leaves wind and road noise more audible and then EVs have new sounds like cooling fans happening at times not typical for an ICE vehicle so unexpected.
Coming from a Tesla Model 3 of 2018 vintage (vin 93k so early on but not the initial run in production) my new...
Yeah from a business standpoint you are right they should prioritize including them with new deliveries and marketing on that point. It’s not the most “just” way to do it but as a publicly traded company they are supposed to do their best to make money.
? Took delivery today and didn’t get one - looks like I just missed it. I got the A2Z one already so not the end of the world.
I agree they should prioritize the prior owners to get them
