Look up the definition of a heat pump and some other HVAC terms. A heat pump is basically a compressor that can cool (call it air condition if you want) in one direction or be flipped to heat if run in reverse. In Gen2, the loud noise people are referring to is outside the vehicle. Everyone...

On the Gen2, I don’t think it’s the heat pump that is super loud. It’s the big condenser fan that pulls air through the radiator/condenser. The heat pump does have its own unique sound but I think most of the “jet engine” sound is from the condenser fan.

Rivian needs to do this now so they can start off Q4 with as low expense as possible. It's no coincidence that they gave 2 free months, so everyone starts to pay before start of Q4. Let's assume some very simple scenario. Assume it cost them $10/month to provide this (unlimited) data plan...

The Large+ in the Shop with 20” AT wheels shows 292 miles of range. When you build a R1S in the configurator with 20” AT it only shows 280 miles. Not sure what it all means in terms of actual battery capacity available in Large+. I assume the Shop has the most up to date numbers.

Darkout for the win! What is your Vin range?

Standard or Max pack? Looks like Std based on three charges. How was your charging curve? Out of Spec published a 0-100% charge session recently after a new software update. 200kw until 35% and >150kw until 50%.

To be fair, none of the Bay Area SC currently have Gen2 available. Maybe that’s what he meant? They should arrive soon or may be there already. They don’t want to commit on a date until they prep and register the vehicle. I think we are more likely to see Gen2 R1T start rolling off the...

I had asked general customer support if my SC had a Gen2 demo available. They forwarded my question to the SC which then sent me a text. That same number has been used for all my communications with the SC, for demo and delivery. I will say that it's been a little frustrating and...

Best way to find out when your SC is getting a Gen2 is to contact them through text. I'm not sure how someone is supposed to get their local service center number other than after they contact you. Setting up a demo drive was how I got my local SC number. Gen2 R1S seem to shipping out to...

At 14:40 he mentions ~240 miles on the range test. They do their range test at 70 mph and this R1S has the 22" wheels. I really wish they'd publish more testing with the new 20" AS tires. The 20" AS are only supposed to be 4-5% less mileage than the 22" tires. That would put the range at...

Curious what your VIN is for people with heat pump issues. I wonder if these are early build issues. Rivian did say it was going to be a slow ramp up once the factory upgrade were done but the factory has been reopened for more than two months now. They should have built many thousands of...

Has anyone figured out what is the actual weight of the Gen 2 DM Standard battery. I'd like to know the actual weight reduction of the Gen 2 with Standard battery vs Gen 1 DM with Std/S+/Large battery.

This picture is for a vehicle with the blackout package. It’d be bonkers if Rivian blacked the control arms as part of the package. Most likely blacked out in the website picture to make it look clean.

There are a bunch of R1S Dual Standard with darkout package showing up in the shop. The filter does not seem to work so you have to look at the pictures. None of them seem to be bundled with Premium Audio yet.

20:45 is the best. Basically calls out Rivian for adding the RGB light bar but didn’t update the rear turn signals. The whole light bar color update seems like an expensive party trick to me.

You just listed all the superficial changes or feature ,changes. If those were the only things to be updated, maybe it would be a 1.x point change. What makes it a Gen 2 is all the architectural changes, including electronic, electrical, and mechanical. They literally changed the floor of...

THIS! The reason I keep thinking about this is because I was coming up to an R1S one lane over and I could not tell if they started to signal right or were kinda pulsing their braking. That R1S jetted out into my lane and I had to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting. The 1-2 seconds where I...

Sad to see that despite all the changes, Rivian did not update the rear turn signal to yellow/amber. It's a safety concern for me. I could honestly care less about the front turn signals. I (and most people) spend the majority of our time staring at the back of other people's cars. Why...

Looks like end of embargo time was 9:00 AM! Bring it!

They just dropped 30+ Quads in the R1S shop. Most look like they are available nationwide. What can it all mean? I hope all our questions can be answered on 6/6.
