  1. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    I've received them - but I then turned off Amber alerts which you can do. Presidential alerts (WEA) cannot be turned off but have never been used. It's supposed to be tested once every three years but hasn't actually been tested for several years. It went out once a while back but it was a...

    I've been told that iHeart will work WITHOUT Connect +. You can also avoid Connect + and use iHeart or TuneIn via a wifi tether to your phone.
  3. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    As a former broadcaster - it's pointless. FM maybe, AM no. Why? Because the number of AM radio stations that a re licensed to operate post-sunset/pre-sunrise is miniscule. Most AM's have to drastically power down after dark otherwise the signal carries for thousands of miles outside their...

    I don’t agree with "feeling every imperfection". However, I do agree with the hum.
  5. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    No. The nav is on-board. The cloud connection optimizes route planning, updates etc.

    Anybody know what the level of factory tint is on the glass? At the demos- the back sides, back glass and roof are all quite tinted to my eye.
  8. R2 XPEL PPF, ceramic coat and window tint -- official factory options

    The sheer excitement of it is titillating.
  9. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    It's a nice idea - but let's let Scout actually get a vehicle on the road so we all can complain about what they "promised" and what they actually delivered ;)

    I responded to you in the other thread, but to repeat it here: Given how software-dependent Rivian's are, driving on a set of tires that cannot (or maybe will not) be officially calibrated by the R2 is a showstopper for me. Having the shorter sidewall cause range and speedometer inflation is...

    Given how software-dependent Rivian's are, driving on a set of tires that cannot (or maybe will not) be officially calibrated by the R2 is a showstopper for me. Having the shorter sidewall cause range and speedometer inflation is bad enough, but if it is going to foul with ADAS etc... would make...

    NOW I feel old... 💀
  13. Adjusting R2 front A/C vents

    Count me as skeptical going in but I found it easier. True, you have a couple of screen taps to get there, but the actual adjustment, one finger just sliding around, is quicker than physically reaching for and adjusting the vent to the left of my wheel and the two to the right in my current car...

    Right - so got to drive last night for about 40 minutes. Count me in as one of the guys who said he'd bribe them to let me buy the demo right there. ;) LOVE LOVE LOVE it... we had perfect weather and as soon as I hit the 5X button and all the windows went down and the air rushed in, I was the...

    I was told the opposite last night. That the vehicle we were driving was a production vehicle. Rivian said last week that several things, like Sirius XM and Rivian Assistant would not be available for the first month or so but were coming soon. 🤷

    first visit wasn’t a test drive, just sitting in the car(s) - primarily the car in the showroom and playing with all the tech.
