  1. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    Keep trying but you're wrong. First off, no change is ever free. TANSTAAFL. Second, you can find many quotes/videos etc from RJ repeatedly answering this question and it's ALL about cost trade-offs, choosing energy density over charging speeds by choosing a lower cost battery pack design. Rivian...

  4. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    A little extra data to better frame that 56% stat. For better or worse, Rivian is not alone in aiding/speeding radio’s “demise” — “Radio’s New Challenge: Being Found Not all the news is rosy for broadcasters, however. A separate 2026 industry report from Quu examined the 100 best-selling vehicle...

    Sorry, I misread your OP. Ignore that part.
  6. Adjusting R2 front A/C vents

    just know that, at the moment, you apparently can’t turn one side completely off. You can in an R1. Dunno if that’s coming with an update, was an oversight or what…

    Interesting, I'm6' 2" and have had the blocking issue with almost every car I own. The R2 finally worked for me :P
  8. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    Some Congress down the road will likely mandate connectivity to the WEA/EAS in some fashion. The tech bros are very good at breaking things and ignoring practical conventions... then regulation will catch up to it.
  9. Not possible to turn off 1 pedal driving?

    Well - it's not. There could be a less-aggressive L1... there could be more aggressive L3. There could be five grades instead of 3, there could be the ability to turn it off. All are valid desires for any random driver. To @JeepEVer it is a fair issue. I'll get used to but there will be a part...
  10. Not possible to turn off 1 pedal driving?

    Having only driven R2 for about 30 minutes, I agree that the impact of level 1 is more than I thought it might be. Also the range from level 1 to 3 is not as wide as I expected, not that those expectations were in any way based on long-term experience :P
  11. R2 Dash Cam Footage Feature?

  13. 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.
  15. 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.
