I can confirm having driven on the highway Saturday and Sunday. Hands-free is gone. Using the turn signal to switch lanes is gone. However, dynamic cruise control + auto-steer is still there. And if you put on your turn signal and facilitate your own lane switch, dynamic cruise + auto-steer...

For placing phone calls, I just use the wake word for my phone's voice assistant. In my case "Hey, Siri". This works perfectly. The phone is connected to the car via bluetooth and the call goes over the car's system every time.

I think part of the road to greater profitability for the R1 (it's already gross margin positive) is the R2. Part sourcing and manufacturing benefits derived from the R2 will be applied to the R1 within the next couple years. Both will drive cost reductions for the overall build of the R1...

Just putting this out there - a custom solution could cost more than an insulated coffee mug that fits the Rivian cup holder. Not saying you should do this - just another option that could save you from finding a solution that would need to fit both the mug and the Rivian. Which I've found...

I hear you. I wish I didn't need to watch video in the car. If I could charge at home, I never would. But I live in an apartment with no place to park and charge. So I use public chargers and find myself with 30-45 minutes on my hands from time to time. It was nice being able to stream video...

I did my best to pre-empt posts like yours, but so it goes. It's too bad that social media has cultivated and semi-normalized this way of interacting.

I created a page in iPhone like this: This is definitely helpful. Thanks!

I understand your point, but this falls apart when you know that the radio tuner and bluetooth apps are maintained and updated to roughly the same degree. They need to be maintained to work with OS updates. So I still don't know why Rivian won't allow the use of Apple Music or Spotify when...

Thanks for this suggestion. I went out and tried it in my car immediately. Switched the cellular setting on my phone to only connect to LTE. Then connected to my phone as a hotspot. However, it didn't work. Apple Music continued to say that it was trying to connect. I'm not sure if there is...

Good to hear! Hopefully it continues to work for you. After working with a mobile tech, he contacted central and relayed that Apple Music doesn't work without Connect+. It's policy now. I've rebooted the car a few times since. No dice. If you have a workaround, awesome. Hopefully this...

Thanks! I've been unable to get Apple Music to work after connecting to a hotspot since August. A Rivian tech informed me that this is the expected behavior. I can occasionally get a song or two out of Apple Music using my hotspot (I keep trying hoping they've reversed the policy without...

Thanks! To clarify - I know how to and do use my phone as a hotspot. Up until August, doing so provided some benefit - namely, it allowed me to use Apple Music via the car's interface. But this started to get buggy in August and became less and less usable throughout the month. I contacted...

I know that there are some on this forum who will air their disdain that I "complained" at all. I've seen it happen on many other posts here. To clarify, I posted this trying to figure out how others might feel about it, to see if there's anyone else who is similarly dissatisfied with this...

I had a used Gen 1 and traded up to a Gen 2 in June of this year. I love Rivian. I'm so glad I got the vehicle. I'm thankful that Rivian exists as an alternative to Tesla. And I feel so lucky that I was able to afford the switch. I'm a public school teacher, so I saved up quite a bit by...

I demo'd both the standard and premium sound systems on the Gen 2's coming from a Gen 1. The Gen 1 with Meridian has better base response, but I found that the Gen 2 with premium has better separation. I tried out the Gen 2 with standard for about 1 minute and knew it wasn't for me. Neither...

FYI - these work on Gen 2 vehicles, too. Just need to get it done at the service center. I transferred mine and it works like a champ. Same tech as the cards.

Thanks so much! I'm in Brooklyn, but on the lookout for similar shops around here. This is super helpful. $150 would be incredible.

I just curbed my front passenger side wheel and I'm wondering - has anyone found a way to treat this without replacing the wheel outright? I currently have 22" Sport Brights on a Gen 2. Eventually I'd like to move on to the Range wheels, but that's 10 - 15K miles down the road, so it would be...

Off topic, but whoa. You own 6 R1 vehicles? Is this for a business?

I'm here to tell you - as someone who just went through this - run, don't walk away from the deal. If you have any red flags popping up, much less multiple, and you're sight unseen and can't get it checked out by Rivian's service team or a mechanic who knows what to look for on a Rivian, you...
