The number of registered vehicles doubled over a 5 year timespan? That's hard to believe.

The grace period is CHP policy only. You're still violating the law by driving in the HOV lane after 10/1, and any non-CHP officer has the liberty to pull you over and issue a citation for that violation.

Multiple times per day and different time periods on weekends vs. weekdays are the two areas where the current implementation of scheduled charging fails. Hopefully this new update fixes both of them.

While that is indeed a benefit, that's more a byproduct of having fewer cars on the road than an actual goal of the program in and of itself. The original reason that HOV lanes came into existence were to reduce traffic congestion. HOV lanes are supposed to be significantly faster than regular...

Please describe how you accomplish this today? I don't see a way to achieve that. My only options are to choose "daily" which means whatever schedule I set will be used 7 days per week, or "weekdays" which means whatever schedule I set will be used M-F, but the Sat/Sun will charge all 24 hours...

Fair enough. I suppose an actual pet in the car could accidentally touch the screen and disable pet mode, which could be a pretty bad scenario. My particular use case here was that I was dropping off my kid somewhere and needed to be with him for 10 minutes. After those 10 minutes were up, I...

I had pet mode turned on. I then entered the vehicle via the passenger door and was unable to deactivate pet mode by touching the screen. Only way I could deactivate pet mode was to exit the car and re-enter from the drivers door. Has anyone else observed this?

Hopefully this will allow us to set different schedules for weekday vs. weekend charging. Also it will hopefully also allow us to have multiple time periods per day for charging. For example - my lowest rates occur from Midnight-6am, and 10am-2pm. Neither of those things are able to be...

Seems like the simplest test is to just remove the brake pads from each of the wheels, put it in ACC, and see if it slows down when needed or not. Not sure why someone hasn't tried it. :)

While I am not particularly concerned with these elevated CO2 levels, I think the article does do a great job of pointing out yet another flaw in Rivian's auto-climate control mode. Rivian vehicles are significantly behind other manufacturers auto modes when it comes to both keeping a...

They show screenshots for the "Limit" and "Graph" tab, which are nice. But would be much nicer to see a screenshot of the "Schedule" tab. Hopefully this new version will allow different schedules for different days/locations. That's a feature that many have asked for for years, and seems...

Ok, after about a month of carrying the fob at all times, things are definitely better. Still find it annoying that I have to take the fob out of my pocket and press a button on it to get my car to to unlock while I'm at home. And find it VERY annoying when I press that button and there's...

You can do that? Like literally just show up at a Rivian SC whenever you feel like and request a tech to ride in your car and they will accommodate your request?

I don't have your exact issue. But experience something similar and posted this thread about it. Lots of back and forth discussion that you may want to read. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/unlocking-the-car-at-home-is-maddening.44027/

If you're leasing the Rivian(which a lot of people do) then extra cycling of the battery has zero impact on you. You're going to turn the car back in in 3 years and the battery is under warranty the entire time, so if the extra cycling causes some problem then it's not yours to worry about.

100% Agreed. The technical challenges of V2H/V2G are small, and can be solved very cheaply. But everyone from the grid operators, vehicle manufacturers, electronics makers, electricians, etc. have their hand out and want to extract significant profit from this new market that is aimed squarely...

The Rivian can subject you to around 1G of force during acceleration. Pretty much every car in existence can subject you to 1G of force during heavy braking events. So if you've ever in your life had to brake hard in a car before, then the g-forces that a Rivian subjects you to during...

I would agree with this statement. The way it SHOULD work is that proximity unlock should work 100% of the time when you're within say 2 meters, and NEVER work when you're 5 meters away. Unfortunately what we get today is that it works about 95% of the time both when you're 5-10 meters away...

Lag? You're saying that you press the unlock button on the FOB and it takes many seconds before the vehicle unlocks? I've just started using the FOB and haven't experienced that yet. I hope not to. Having any lag between pressing a button on a car's key fob and the car executing that button...

I'm starting to think that the best solution that requires me to never have to fish anything(phone or FOB) out of my pocket is to simply hang the FOB on a hook in the garage next to my garage door opener button. That way when I leave the house I can just press the garage door opener button to...
