  1. Bad Leasing and Delivery Experience

    It’s displayed everywhere within the R1, the epa range for AP mode is 346 miles, not 371 as marketing would make you believe.
  2. [Un-Resolved again!] Why am I doing this to myself - long time Rivian customer close to giving up.

    So the trucks back up at normal being serviced again 🤣 : A Pillar appliqué on the drivers side came loose - and started causing a massive amount of wind noise. Mobile service came out and replaced it, which made things a bit better but above ~50 mph it was sounding like a convertible with the...
  3. Bad Leasing and Delivery Experience

    Here’s a copypasta of a post I did about this previously. Note that the ranges shown in the displays match the EPA certified numbers - there is no adjustment made based on driving history etc (the button to ā€˜reset’ does nothing other than provide a timestamp for monitoring - confirmed by...
  4. Scout Motors to source batteries from VW Group’s PowerCo unit in Canada

    It looks like they are saying that Scout will use the unified cell format developed by powerco - which has MNC and/or LFP entering production before EOY, not necessarily solid state.
  5. Rivian Roadside Assistance and Normal/STL Service save the day

    Same - but they could have made me jump through many, many, more hoops. I'm sure the small print on the loaner agreement could be abbreviated to "You're fucked mate". Also frankly I feel i've posted enough about the downsides of Rivian ownership here - it's great to be able to highlight an...
  6. Rivian Roadside Assistance and Normal/STL Service save the day

    On Tuesday, I dropped the R1T at Normal (again!) and drove home to St. Louis in a loaner R1S: a 2025 Dual Motor with Max Pack and 20″ A/Ts. Great loaner, but it came with a Gen2 keycard instead of a fob. When I got home, I found one of our cast-iron stacks failed. Chaos ensued: moving...
  7. Is Camera-Only in Rivian's Future? Testing How Rivian Uses Radars and Cameras

    Fantastic video! @mpshizzle I've experienced the lane change 'chicken out' several times with the new software on our loaner R1S (without any sensors covered) - so seems its quite a bit more cautious here than mobileye was. That said, the new ADAS right now will eat the diver side tires here in...
  8. Finally — Apple Wallet Car Key is Activated!

    If the behavior was limited only unlocking the active R1 in the app then maybe, however for auto locking the behavior actually reduces security: the number of times we’ve gone out with both of our R1s, ended up with both of us having the same R1 active in our phone apps, and then discovered...
  9. Our nearly new R1S is suddenly a brick

    They all cut corners on the LV design, it’s truely disheartening how all the companies promoting the ā€˜software defined vehicleā€˜ don't seem to be able to get the basics of power management down for the thing(s) running the software (including Lucid, VW group, Ford and Kia). Tesla seem to be...
  10. Finally — Apple Wallet Car Key is Activated!

    This is honestly unfortunately what excites me most about enabling carkey - that we be able to have a different R1s active on our watch and phones (gen2 on the watch, gen1 on the phone) - I looked into this issue some time ago, and if my memory serves correctly Rivian were reusing the MAC...
  11. Finally — Apple Wallet Car Key is Activated!

    Though it often works, to be fair both gen1 and gen2 currently do a great job of keeping you waiting far too often: 1) waiting for the R1 to wake up, showing you gary watching you, and then decide that it’s time to present the door handles. 2) somthing playing up with the phone app, leaving it...
  12. Finally — Apple Wallet Car Key is Activated!

    My understanding is this: Both generations have the required NFC reader(*) for NFC only carkey support. Only gen2 has the required UWB radio for the UWB/Bluetooth proximity(**) carkey support. * we don’t know if there is a limitation in the communication between ECUs in gen1 that makes key...
  13. Sport Mode improvement via Update 2025.26 - what's your experience?

    Just imagine how fun he’d be if presented with this: I’ve not noticed a difference in sport mode - assuming that it’ll be ā€˜unlocked’ after the upgrade is complete. I tried the new ADAS but it was scary, again assuming the joys of a half way house (or fucked cameras). Took a couple of restarts...
  14. Finally — Apple Wallet Car Key is Activated!

    Urg - you are unfortunately right. Probably had to say something following the media coverage.
  15. Finally — Apple Wallet Car Key is Activated!

    +1 Probably should have been more clear, but was so excited to see movement finally. Apple lighting this up on their public APIs means that it's actually real, and almost certainly going to happen (and likely soon, it means they now have the capability for 'public' beta users outside of a...
  16. Finally — Apple Wallet Car Key is Activated!

    Totally possible to implement both (and actually required to be implemented for the capability to unlock via your phone when the phones battery is dead) - the gen1 almost certainly has the required hardware to support CarKey with NFC only unlock (ie use your phone/watch like the...
  17. Finally — Apple Wallet Car Key is Activated!

    I'm guessing that it will be as simple as an 'add to wallet' button within the APP once it goes live - thats what its typically been for the HomeKey locks and Boarding Passes etc
  18. Finally — Apple Wallet Car Key is Activated!

    Looks like Rivian/Apple is finally rolling out Apple Wallet car key support for Gen2!!! I’m really excited to finally use my Apple Watch as a key and to be able to unlock the R1 even when our phone’s are dead thanks to Express Mode. This is a big win for seamless iPhone/Watch integration and UWB...
  19. 2025.26 fails to download

    I was very cautious as a result of your story - thankfully though it got me up and running to the point where I can drive the truck (I'm holding judgement in the new ADAS until the update is actually successfully applied - I tried it for a few mins and it was wild - drifting over lanes in mild...
