  1. Feature request: AI detects parking lot, then enable right steering wheel button to switch to main camera view

    Camera view should come on automatically at low speed if a proximity sensor goes off. The problem with switching to camera mode manually is that it remains in camera mode next time you drive the vehicle.
  2. Heating very weak

    1. Doesn't address the issue of not enough heat 2. Not an acceptable solution for a $100k vehicle 3. Also not an acceptable solution for a $100k vehicle If the rear vent thing fixes it, I will file a "bug" with my guide. If not, I will be filing a service ticket. This is one of those "write...
  3. Heating very weak

    I had a mobile tech at my house today for an unrelated issue. I asked him about the heating. He said it's been a common complaint over the winter, especially about "the leg area". He said the heating works at first but then heat is diverted to where it's needed elsewhere like the battery, and...
  4. Heating very weak

    Sounds like I just need to put in a service ticket since neither the coolant nor the thermostat are user serviceable. I would be surprised if the coolant is used to heat the vehicle, considering that the coolant does not get very hot and that won't heat the vehicle when it is parked either. My...
  5. Heating very weak

    What is the heating like on your vehicles? It's not too cold out (40 F) and on max heat the air coming out of the vents is warm at best. Definitely not hot like I expect out of an ICE vehicle. As a result my feet are always cold when I am driving this thing. Wondering if I should file a service...
  6. Is Xpel wrap worth it? After nearly 30,000 miles... probably not!

    I didn't purchase with any PPF option. My understanding is that this has been installed on vehicles for a while. But I picked up mine in September. I guess some owners of older vehicles will have to chime in.
  7. Is Xpel wrap worth it? After nearly 30,000 miles... probably not!

    So it seems like we are in some agreement. But my post wasn't just about you, it is a more general comment about PPF. Here is a photo of the factory PPF on my R1S.
  8. Is Xpel wrap worth it? After nearly 30,000 miles... probably not!

    It's not necessary to PPF the entire vehicle to protect from road debris. Just the front, the bottoms of the doors and the bottom of the rear bumper behind the tires (the R1T already comes with some PPF from the factory behind the front tires). And obviously for specific situations it makes...
  9. Is Xpel wrap worth it? After nearly 30,000 miles... probably not!

    If you are "doing it right", you aren't scrubbing and damaging your paint. Maybe learn to wash your vehicle properly? The top auto detailers in the world do a very good job of getting cars showroom clean without spending that kind of time and without scratching the paint. Getting a paint...
  10. Passenger side lower than driver side.

    It's unfortunate that a tech would make such an ignorant statement. It sounds like rather than entertain the idea that something is wrong with the vehicle, the folks at Rivian are trying to come up with any explanation they can.
  11. Rivian doesn't cost less to drive on long trips

    When you add $2000 for a set of tires that last roughly 20k miles, that's another 10c a mile. Tires for my Porsche Macan Turbo cost 3.5c a mile. Costs add up quickly. It's only cheaper when charging at home. Which is fine, 90% of our mileage will be charged at home.
  12. Tireject long term repair

    Well, it does have a little musical note icon with a cross through it. But I don't see PNCS on the tire. The Pirelli website for the Rivian specific 21" doesn't say PNCS either. So it looks like it does not have it.
  13. Tireject long term repair

    He did mention something about not wanting to compromise the soundproofing foam inside the tire if it's there. It's generally foam that is attached to the inside of the tire for sound dampening. However considering that these are just Scorpion Verde tires, and the tire seal worked from the...
  14. Tireject long term repair

    I asked my shop and they said cleaning off the sealant won't be a problem
  15. Tireject long term repair

    Will shops patch a tire that has sealant in it? Spoke to my local shop and they will patch and plug for $45. But they don't have the pucks so I need to take the wheel off and take it to them. :(
  16. Tireject long term repair

    There is no Discount Tire in my area. I can plug it myself but maybe not worth the time and effort if I can find a shop to do it for $20-30.
  17. Tireject long term repair

    Tireject is the flat repair sealant included with our vehicles. I repaired a flat with it last night. It actually worked pretty well. I'm wondering if I need to get the tire repaired at this point? The Tireject website advertises that it's a permanent repair, but the Rivian manual states it's...
