  1. CarPlay discussion with Rivian CS: company is working with Apple and it's a priority

    Which tells me they have no plans to open up their development with an SDK to allow developers to at the very least build their own apps for it if they choose to do so. Rivian will be a massive bottleneck and it won't scale. So they'll be spending time reinventing the wheel with calendar and...
  2. CarPlay discussion with Rivian CS: company is working with Apple and it's a priority

    Don't worry, I'm sure texting and calendar integration is coming s00n. Hey it only took Tesla 7.5 years from Apple Music's launch for Tesla to implement it, so we have many more years of waiting and being told that "the integrated platform is the better path" all while we all debate the best...
  3. CarPlay discussion with Rivian CS: company is working with Apple and it's a priority

    Delivery timings and the great conspiracy theory of youtube channels being linked to it.
  4. CarPlay discussion with Rivian CS: company is working with Apple and it's a priority

    Yeah I'm not seeing it happening personally, I'll believe it when I see it. This comes up about every 3 months or so but then nothing comes of it
  5. R1T vs Model Y, a ridiculous comparison review

    I've had our 2023 Model Y for a couple weeks now and took it on a road trip and it has ~1,500 miles on it now. R1T has ~13,000 miles on it so i'm pretty well versed in it. Here's my feelings on it regarding the 2023 Model Y vs the R1T: Squeaks and rattles have been pretty bad, both from get-go...
  6. Article: Will Rivian Get a Pass for Putting 100 HP Behind a Paywall?

    Tesla also does something similar with the acceleration boost with the Model Y for 2K.
  7. Keys not communicating properly with vehicle

    If the carabiner and card key isn't working then there's definitely an issue, I'd be reaching out to Rivian and trying to get someone to look at it as soon as they have an opening
  8. R1S Kicks A$$ in Drag & Roll Races vs Urus and Shelby F-150 Super Snake (Throttle House)

    I noticed when he launched the R1S he didn’t do a brake stand like Rivian advises, I’m not sure if that makes a difference as I’ve always launched my truck by holding both pedals down and letting go of the brake. I’d be curious to know if that makes a difference in launch times
  9. "Rivian orders placed after 20% price hike appear to jump the line"

    Delivery timeline has always been pretty closely related to distance from SC. It was the same song and dance for the R1T. I’m a post march reservation holder and I’m still Jan-July 2024 whereas before I was just “2024”. They’re not going to go in sequential order from preorder date, we learned...
  10. Pressure in head like being in airplane while driving Rivian?

    Only thing I ever got was a headache for ~30 mins after driving the first few weeks I owned it because I wasn't used to the instant torque and power. After a couple weeks I got used to it and it's addicting.
  11. Weekly Rivian Responds - V2V / V2H + Dual Motor Info !

    From what RJ has stated in the past he’s said they were capable of V2H but wasn’t exactly straight forward in what that meant, so getting this clarity is awesome. Glad to see the hardware is indeed there and they plan to support it via software on the future.
  12. Preferred phone as a key setting? Knees getting jammed!

    The Rivian is working as intended, it just is wrong about who's driving. Both phones are detected, it just picks the wrong one half the time in my case and would try and crush my knees when I sat in the driver seat as it would see my wifes phone and switch to it and not stay with my profile...
  13. Preferred phone as a key setting? Knees getting jammed!

    My solution that I’ve used is just to sign my wife’s phone in as me. She still has her profile but the only key assigned to it is the card key so when she does want to drive she just needs to hit her name in the UI. After months of dealing with it I just gave up and made her phone my profile. My...
  14. I added CarPlay to my R1T

    Figured i'd update this since i've never used Tesla's infotainment until this week, and I have to say Rivian is a long ways off from being anything like Tesla from an infotainment perspective. I have almost all the apps I need (sans Sirius XM) and full text message integration, it works...
  15. Rivian maps are the worst if there is any traffic

    I gave up on Rivian maps when it took me a half mile in the wrong location to Rivian's own hosted event. If Rivian can't even get that right... Now I just use Google Maps and share it to the truck since google maps sends the location data, so I don't have to worry about being in 2012 again when...
  16. Senator Manchin Proposes Pause on EV Tax Credit

    Autonews is saying this bill is retroactive to Jan. 1st, so the EV I just bought wouldn't be eligible: https://www.autonews.com/regulation-safety/manchin-proposes-immediate-change-ev-tax-credits? If that's the case I'm going to be pretty pissed if this gets passed
  17. How do you get in your R1? (PaaK, FOB, Card, crowbar, windows...)

    PaaK only, same for my wife. I carry the key card in my wallet in case for some reason my phone dies. My wife is the same way, but her PaaK is assigned to my profile since Rivian still hasn't figured out how to tell the difference between who's driving and I got tired of being impaled with the...
  18. Rivian should focus on features that set them apart from the rest of the industry, not AA/CP.

    The other tidbit of info regarding the tune-in app is that according to Tune-in themselves, Rivian built it. They (tune-in) didn't build it: https://www.forbes.com/sites/edgarsten/2022/06/14/tunein-rivian-deal-another-evolution-of-car-radio/?sh=60718d5413b3
  19. Rivian should focus on features that set them apart from the rest of the industry, not AA/CP.

    What market share does Rivian have to dictate that? Apple/Audible/insert streaming service here doesn't need Rivian, but Rivian is constantly getting black eyes from the media because they don't support basic features. Tesla is large enough that they can probably swing their market share around...
