  1. Autonomy+ / Driver+ Subscription How Much Will You Pay?

    This, is honestly, one of the biggest disappointments I have with the truck. The towing experience sucks. Adaptive cruise and LKA are disabled. Unsure why Rivian won't enable that, but it's a HUGE miss for me. Coupled with a pretty terrible suspension bounce when towing and lackluster power (non...
  2. Autonomy+ / Driver+ Subscription How Much Will You Pay?

    Give me a resume button and keep the adaptive cruise and I'm in. Lane centering is just OK, and honestly feels like just another system to manage while driving, not the reduction in workload that it's supposed to be.
  3. Does auto ride height work for you?

    I think only the duals reset, as it's part of the parameters that are considered in the EPA rating. IF, and that's a big if, I buy another Rivian; it WILL NOT be a dual motor truck. This kind of thing is found in several areas, and the juice isn't worth the squeeze.
  4. Does auto ride height work for you?

    I turn it off on just about every drive. I think the "turn back on" threshold is around 3-4hrs. Just long enough for me to turn it off to drive to work, turn it off to drive to lunch, then turn it off again to drive home. It's the equivalent of the "Auto stop-start" feature in my last two...
  5. Hands free ADAS and lane changes allowed when towing glitch?

    Honestly one of the main reasons I hate towing with my Rivian. The lack of adaptive cruise, and the constant "MANUAL BRAKING WHILE TOWING" warning on the dash suck, and feels like a big step backwards from my Audi. I can say for certain my G1 R1T did NOT allow ADAS to engage when I took my...
  6. 🐀

    That sucks, but thanks for the great content while it lasted. Did they say what the penalty for leaving it up was? I'm guessing you didn't make the decision in a vacuum, but just curious if this was a "stop or we'll sue" or a "stop or we'll say stop again" kind of situation.
  7. 🐀

    I've been in this camp for quite some time. 23 payments left. Shame, because it's like a 95% great product.
  8. Revealed: Cayenne EV interior, infotainment, curved display screen

    I was super looking forward to the Cayenne EV. Didn't know that all EV's didn't have one pedal driving. Thought that was just a feature of EV's (I've only ever driven a Tesla and a Rivian). Guess not?!?! I was very excited to see a center console WITHOUT a shifter. I was also very excited to...
  9. Winter prep: How do you keep range loss under control? ❄️

    Yea.....I forgot that change. I park in the garage from Nov-Apr. Not because of the temperature, I just don't like cleaning snow off the windows all year. Boat lives in the garage in the summer, truck lives in the garage in the winter.
  10. Winter prep: How do you keep range loss under control? ❄️

    I'm in Buffalo, we get a lot of snow. Temps will spend weeks below freezing, but rarely dip below zero. We had just over 12-1/2 feet of snow last year at my place. How do I cope with an EV? I use snow mode. That's it. I don't charge differently, I don't dress differently, I don't charge...
  11. Half-Shaft issue thread

    The Rivian has more height adjustment than almost any other vehicle at around 14.5in. So, I get why the halfshafts need to grow/shrink. My point is, it's either poor design or poor manufacturing tolerances that makes it rattle. I've used low cost PTO's on the back of farm equipment that doesn't...
  12. Half-Shaft issue thread

    Neither should make noticeable noises to the driver. It's either poor design or poor manufacturing. At this product position within the market, it's not excusable IMO.
  13. Half-Shaft issue thread

    100% agreed here. My Rivian is the 4th vehicle that had airsprings at some level, and the second with all 4 wheel adjustable suspension. Q7 had similar (10in vs 14in) range of adjustment and it was nice and quiet at 118k miles. Rivian has an issue with this clacking/clicking/tinging haywagon...
  14. Just fix the software

    I haven't used the app in several months. Just deleted it from the phone, removed the widgets, and moved on with life. Nothing worse than expecting something to work and it never does, so I just stopped expecting it. Just this side of useless anyway.
  15. Would you still buy your Rivian today?

    I'm really on the struggle bus on this front. I'm super polarized by my R1T. When it's great, it's the best thing I've owned, when it's not I've never been more upset about it. SOOOOO......when I look at alternatives, there really aren't many. I like the truck form factor, and I like the...
  16. PSA for those getting a new phone -- you could be boned if you do this....

    Disable Bluetooth, don't have to turn it all the way off. OR Disable the "nearby devices" permissions for the Rivian App. Cracks me up that the same people that say "PaaK is the only way so I don't have to carry a stupid fob", are the same ones that are here preaching "Always carry a backup"...
  17. Would you still buy your Rivian today?

    364 days, 23.5k miles, 1 set of tires, and 10 service visits into my ownership experience. I would NOT purchase again if I knew then what I know now. I traded my Q7, and was cross shopping with a Porsche Cayenne and an Audi SQ7. I think either of those would have delivered me a better...
  18. 20" Inch Goodyear Territory AT 275/60/20 Factory AT tires + saving $

    That's good feedback. I just paid $275/tire through the Rivian Service Center. Sounds like an acceptable discount. Does Amazon give any kind of "road Hazard" warranty or anything like that. Completely forgot about that benefit when I got them through the service center. Should have held out for...
  19. 20" Inch Goodyear Territory AT 275/60/20 Factory AT tires + saving $

    Man, I'm just not sure I could bring myself to buy tires from Amazon. Not sure why, but that just feels wrong to me. Absolutely ZERO data to back that up, just a weird feeling about it.
