For some reason I completely missed everything about EVPlay. Looks interesting, but for me that's a big chunk of change to put down on something that is still in such an early stage. I'll definitely be following the development, and see what people are ae to accomplish with it to determine if...

As an an Android guy with a very strong aversion to anything Apple, I must say I do like the looks of this. Not enough to ever get an iPhone, but I might borrow my daughter's to play around a bit. I'm not too fond of the idea of a systems takeover of the car by Apple or Google or any other third...

I had a 50-50 chance based on Google photo search. First time it gave me the Porsche, second time BMW. That steamroller is pretty nice too.

Those other cars in the background are taking away from the star of the show. But the reflection of the 911 (?) on the R1S makes a really nice color - almost like a really dark version of forest green.

A bit late for a follow up but how'd you make out with this? Trying to file ammendment but want to make sure my accountant gets it right. He's asking for VIN, year, etc.

Dinner in the City. I never get tired of seeing those lights. Times Square is OK too, I guess.

Thanks for the detailed answer and suggestions. Once I get my phone to re-pair I'll try some of them. I have the Alexa app but it never seemed to me to really be connected with the Rivian Alexa (not listed as a device, phone data not sharing, etc.). That being said, I went in to the music...

Follow up after latest update (2025.10.30): Startup - possibly a bit better, but hard to tell for sure. Definitely not great. Music - Same wishlist as before. With the newest update, however, things have gotten much worse. It used to be when I asked Alexa to play 770, it would say something...

My 2025 R1S has shown me that ghost truck when I'm not towing anything.

When I went to pick up my R1S (Forest Green with Ocean Coast) it was the first time I saw the Forest Green interior. Looked amazing and I had some regrets that I didn't get it, but when I initially configured my car that color hadn't been released and I had my heart set on OC. Definitely would...

Help me understand something. There are instructions to release the parking brake to put the car into tow mode, but it will only stay released for 15 minutes. So what's the point? Is it simply to put it on the truck?

Took a little detour yesterday which turned out to be a much longer and more rugged "road" than I thought. Couple of spots made me a little nervous given that I haven't had the chance to really learn how to drive off-road, but worked out OK. Not too much mud, but I like how the splatter...

[Edit: description of contact display when connected] I've been trying to get used to using Alexa, but it's really trying my patience. I have three main problems and plenty of little ones, but I'll stick to the major ones in this post, and hopefully someone will have a solution. Startup - When...

Just got the email from Rivian telling me I'm eligible to upgrade. In addition to the increase in HP, it touts the added drive modes as part of the upgrade. However, with the AT package, I've had soft sand mode from day one, and rally mode since the latest update. Are these modes "worth"...

Not a great shot but nice to see them hanging out together. Would have been nicer if my son didn't open his door into the other one, but no damage done.

When I ordered my R1S DM Max last August I was told the upgrade to performance would be possible down the line for $5K. They didn't try to sell me on it then by saying price would increase if I didn't get it then, so I don't think the price would go up. I'm still not sure if I would upgrade, but...

Indeed I do. And after driving a Gen 1 loaner, I'm happy I procrastinated on pulling the trigger, even though it meant I ended up with a DM instead of my pre-order QM

I tell my Tesla-driving friend that I'm OK with not having full self driving on my R1S, because I actually like driving it. That being said, it was a welcome treat to see that we may be getting it soon. There are definitely some times when it would come in handy, such as long boring stretches of...
