  1. Apple CarPlay coming to rival Tesla

    I suppose that is why apple computers are relegated to a niche market, and reason why the glorious x86 machines rule the PC market worldwide by a landslide. It ain't even close. Likewise, apple phones are also a niche market considering the massive, much higher market share for the great...
  2. Just fix the software

    They might very well be. What I am saying is that there is (for me) absolutely nothing wrong with the "regular" headlights on my R1S Gen 1. Set in Auto mode, they light up the road ahead plenty on high beam. It looks like another so-called great thing about upgrading to a Gen 2. Ok, a...
  3. Just fix the software

    Aww. Animated GIFs. The refuge of the weak mind.
  4. Apple CarPlay coming to rival Tesla

    I surmise it is some sort of Apple thing. Would not know. Nothing but Android and x86 machines for me forever, both THE real deal.
  5. Just fix the software

    So have I. Never tried it.
  6. Just fix the software

    Nothing wrong with Rivian headlights. Original design, I find them extremely useful. Work extremely wel also. New matrix headlights that my R1S does not have=gimmicky, worthless diminishing returns at best. Again, there is a purpose and a very useful one at that for this headlight design...
  7. First Storm Incoming: Time to Winterize Your Rivian (Share Your Must-Haves)

    Winterizing my R1S=it will remain inside my garage, except it will go into mothballs/hibernation mode by the end of November and will see the light of day and a road again until next May.
  8. Apple CarPlay coming to rival Tesla

    Like so many things Tesla, Tesla's built-in navigation is so awesome, so superior, so second to none. It needs no help whatsoever. Six years later, what a great feeling it still is to get into my Tesla MS Raven, and see how everything works so perfectly. The same for my glorious Tesla MY...
  9. Just fix the software

    Software complexity is never an excuse to not do something correctly. If Rivian cannot do it, perhaps it is in the wrong industry. Neither of my glorious Teslas seems to have these issues, btw. Software integration is not only done so correctly at Tesla, Tesla actually perfects the...
  10. RAN charging how much???

    Have said it many times, apparently striking a very raw nerve with several RAN/other charging-network loyalists on here in the process. One more time. In my view, Rivian decided to join the world of the EV-charging scammers and extortionists, ripping people off with ridiculous electricity...
  11. RJ Scaringe gets new pay package worth up to $4.6 billion

    One has to feel sorry for, well, actually laugh at all those Rivian fanboys on here who god forbid will not want even a loaner from Rivian or for Rivian to incur any additional expenses because it is not fair for them to burden Rivian even in a fair and rightful fashion. LMAO. Joke's so on...
  12. Driver side window wind noise?

    My R1S driver door had a wind leak from day one; the hissing noise was annoying. In my case, the door did not sit flush with the chassis; it stuck out about 1/4 in. , more noticeable as it got to the top of the door. When I took it in for service at 7.5k miles, the Rivian SC reseated and...
  13. Driver side window wind noise?

    Rivian SC will figure it out and fix it. Did so for mine.
  14. <rant> Service communication lacking woefully

    Even if a gimmick, the point is that Tesla not only gives you a Tesla loaner, it even gives you free juice as well! Only a fool does not accept free money. I get the impression that some folks seem to not want to burden further poor, "broke" Rivian. Rivian is doing fine regardless. In the...
  15. <rant> Service communication lacking woefully

    In other news, in the odd times my glorious Teslas ever needed any type of service, not only did I get and there always was a Tesla loaner waiting for me, Tesla even gave (default) free supercharging for my loaner at Tesla chargers. I once got a Rivian loaner while my R1S was in service. Free...
  16. Rivian service rant - busted home charger

    Thinking that you should have not canceled the replacement charger. Not being negative to you. Who installed the one you have? $800 for a Rivian charger!??? What a scam, ripoff. You've been had. Get a Tesla Wall Connector. Mine, like my great Teslas, just keeps on running perfectly, never so...
  17. R2 has bidirectional V2L / V2H (vehicle-to-home) specification article

    Exactly. The safety-derated power rating of my home breaker panel powering the critical loads is 4.8 kW. The max. output of my storage battery is 7.2 kW. We know that our homes do not constantly run at max. load. My home power usage is typically less than 1 kWh most of the time. Total...
  18. R2 has bidirectional V2L / V2H (vehicle-to-home) specification article

    Sure thing. What I used. Rivian 120 VAC outlet->2 Prong to 3 Prong Outlet Adapter->extension cord->backup power solution 120 VAC charging input port: 2 Prong to 3 Prong Outlet Adapter, ETL Listed 3-2 Prong Adapter, Fire-Retardant (392℉) PBT Material, SUPERDANNY Heavy Duty Wall Plug Adapter for...
  19. R2 has bidirectional V2L / V2H (vehicle-to-home) specification article

    Oh, no. Quite the contrary. I purchased the Ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra Whole Home 18 kWh Power Solution; A/C inverter + 3 batteries. The maximum A/C inverter power output is 7.2 kW. Circuit breaker panel powering my home critical loads has a NEMA L14-30P, your typical gas generator hookup...
