  1. Found out where Gear Guard came from: spotted at RAN charging station

    Yeah, definitely not a real Magic the Gathering card, nor an official Rivian-made sticker. Completely something fan-made. Oh, and "Illustrator: Westley Roberts"? That's "Farm Boy Westley, the Dread Pirate Roberts" from The Princess Bride.
  2. Why Gen 1 did not receive "tank turn" - answers from Rivian

    It was working on demo drives? I don't recall any demo drive showing off tank turn. A friend of mine was the driver during the infamous tank turn demo video Rivian released, and Wassym was crouched in the back seat with a laptop forcing motor controls manually from his laptop. It was never...
  3. Universal Hands-Free can kill you! (If you don’t read release notes)

    Only if the software is written well, and to specifically understand that possibility. Right now? None of the ADAS/self-driving systems can do that.
  4. Universal Hands-Free can kill you! (If you don’t read release notes)

    Nah, OP is a small well-groomed tree. Hence why they couldn't read the release notes.
  5. Universal Hands-Free can kill you! (If you don’t read release notes)

    Nobody. Nobody reads the release notes. Except extreme nerds like me. The big problem in this case is that there are two completely different things that were discussed at "Autonomy Day". One was the upcoming "Universal Hands Free" - which is just the current-as-of-November Gen 2 system...
  6. Autonomy Day, Lane Change, and the Myth of “Buy What It Has Today”

    It still doesn't auto-adjust. It only "set to the speed limit instead of your current speed, if you're below the speed limit" on mapped highways. If I'm on a highway that's 55 MPH, then get to the section where it's 65, Driver+ doesn't speed up. If I set it to 65, then get to a section where...
  7. Powered Tonneau Cover Version 2 - Rivian Nailed the Details!

    I think the big question is - does your vehicle have the physical V1 PTC installed but disabled, or is it completely missing? I know many early vehicles after the "removal of PTC" were built with PTC, it just is disabled completely. I would assume that any vehicle sold as "Launch Edition" would...
  8. 20" Inch Edit: Excellent customer service experience from EV Sportline after wheels started rusting

    Have you reached out to them for support? That sounds like a major defect that should be covered under warranty. (They do have a 36 month warranty.)
  9. RJ on CarPlay (Autoblog Post / Stratechery Interview)

    I'd argue all three of these points *ALSO* apply to using CarPlay. Unified Experience: You get the same experience across all your vehicles, regardless of make and model, as long as they support CarPlay. Reduced Complexity: You have one system to deal with, across all your vehicles. Once you...
  10. NEED 20" All Terrain Standard

    Contact your local service center. They'll sell you a spare tire on that wheel. Unless you're specifically looking for used for a deal.
  11. Launch Mode coming to Gen1 + Apple Watch support w/ active entry (both coming early 2026) -- confirmed by Wassym

    The 2024 Rally has the BlueCruise-capable hardware. My 2021 Select didn't. It was just MobilEye. It could do lane-centering on any road with clear markings, just no hands-free mode. You had to keep some torque on the wheel.
  12. Launch Mode coming to Gen1 + Apple Watch support w/ active entry (both coming early 2026) -- confirmed by Wassym

    There are a lot of dual Rivian+Mach-E households. I used to have a Mach-E (2021 Select Job 2, absolute base model, no BlueCruise hardware.) My sister-in-law's household is also a Rivian+Mach-E household. Had a Job 1 GT, I know they upgraded to something newer, not sure what trim.
  13. Launch Mode coming to Gen1 + Apple Watch support w/ active entry (both coming early 2026) -- confirmed by Wassym

    BlueCruise refers only to the "360° cameras and hands-free driving" hardware+software. It's "Ford Co-Pilot Assist" if you don't have the BlueCruise hardware. (Technically, with BlueCruise hardware, it's "Co-Pilot Active 2.0", and BlueCruise is the software.) For a short time, Ford included the...
  14. Launch Mode coming to Gen1 + Apple Watch support w/ active entry (both coming early 2026) -- confirmed by Wassym

    Yep. The comparison I have is to a non-BlueCruise Ford Mach-E. Same MobilEye hardware, but WITHOUT radar or any additional cameras. It can do lane-keep on any well marked road. It can do automatic speed adjustment with speed limit changes. It can do speed limit ± setting. Really, the only major...
  15. Dynamic Roof does not work in cold weather

    I see it getting more transparent and more "frosted" as you cycle it. I see a tree appear then disappear. Sure, it may be "less than fully transitioning", but it's not completely doing nothing.
  16. My Deep Dive on R2 Autonomy with Rivian Engineers (LiDAR, RAP1 AI Chip, Cameras, Radar, Software)

    On the "parallel vs redundant" front - the fact that the two chips are right next to each other in a single housing makes redundancy semi-pointless. If something is impacting one of the two, it would likely impact the second. So it really sounds like it's parallel processing. (Plus "Jerry Rig...
  17. Reminder: Rivian Promised Level 3 "Eyes Off the Road" Autonomy on Gen 1

    Same. I am marginally disappointed that Driver+ won't be getting any more real improvements, but I know I can do Comma if I want. Also planning on keeping mine until it's no longer fiscally reasonable to keep it on the road.
  18. Reminder: Rivian Promised Level 3 "Eyes Off the Road" Autonomy on Gen 1

    Correct, hands free, not eyes-off. They never promised any FSD-like experience for Gen 1. Only "hands-free on mapped roads" which they later figured out the hardware wasn't capable of.
