  1. What do you think of Dual Motor Performance? | Views on Sport Mode in particular

    We got the Performance option on purchase. We’ve maybe used it twice & then only on smooth tarmac & to ā€˜test’ it. It’s nice to know it’s there & Sport mode does have much more urgency to it, but tbh for everyday driving, AP has plenty of acceleration particularly when joining a freeway. I’d...
  2. R2's Pop-Out Rear Quarter Windows may also be removable (patent)

    As I’d pay for a sunroof that actually opens, & a retractable blind in an R1S.
  3. 2025.06 Update: Dual Motor Owners Can Software Upgrade to Dual Performance + Rally Mode first look!

    Recently had the 6month appraisal survey from them & there were a couple of intriguing questions. One was how much extra range (in miles) would you be willing to pay for? (Ours has the Max pack so no sure if that’s applicable). But that ? was then followed by, ā€˜how much would you pay for that...
  4. Speedo screen reconfig

    Totally agreed, as it’s the only part of the drivers screen unoccluded by the steering wheel.
  5. Speedo screen reconfig

    Totally agree. On one occasion when our R1S had to go back for a fix we got a Landrover Defender for a week, (just for ?’s & giggles). But I loved having a) the speedo reading in the middle of the screen & b) the sat nav surrounding it. To me the current centre infographic of the car &...
  6. Auto Socks in CA, how many?

    That’s the beauty of snow socks though, fit to top, drive a meter, fit to rest. Slow/high gear move off & keep to the tracks. ā€˜thank-you, another great answer.
  7. Auto Socks in CA, how many?

    It does & thank-you so much, answered my suspicions. They’re the pirelli 275/55 r22 m+s. But to me it seems as if in Cat3 snow, (& simply to tick boxes), having an AutoSock per tyre couldn’t really be argued with. . . . thanks all so much
  8. Auto Socks in CA, how many?

    Thanks so much for your reply. grew up as a farmer in N. Europe & learnt 1st hand the higher gear trick to getting traction from a standing start In all manner of vehicles. But my understanding of CA snow / cat 3 road traffic rules are that M+S are ok & will usually suffice, but are no...
  9. Auto Socks in CA, how many?

    Hi, used to have an Audi Quattro with all season Pilot Sports, & for safety/arguments sake bought 2 sets of dual Auto Socks, just in case we were in the mountains & needed snow chains. does the same apply to a Performance Dual, (I.e. an Auto Sock p/wheel) or are the M+S tyres good enough for a...
  10. Back to Black? Recommendations for treatment / restoring exterior black plastic?

    What are your recommends for the best treatment & restorative for the exterior black plastic, as sometime products like ’Back to Black’ can cook the plastic & turn it grey, particularly in full sun, like SoCal. Seems as if Rivian are actively promoting Dr Beasley, can anyone recommend one of...
  11. Chromecast vs AirPlay

    But I think after all the strikes here in LA, that Drama, or at least the ability to engage with it in official, broadcaster backed content & apps is the very point. At home my Sony TV’s accept my telephone streaming & the HDMI Apple TV’s connected to them, as do the Sonos speakers throughout my...
  12. New Gen2 Key Fob now available in Rivian gear shop

    & sold out by lunchtime on the 1st day! Honestly they desperately need to work out their supply chain issues!!!
  13. Chromecast vs AirPlay

    Totally agree. Seems utterly asinine to create & now maintain such an issue. A simple Google search suggests that over 57% of us Americans own an iPhone, which given that Rivian has sold about 100K vehicles, equates to 57,000 of us owners unable to watch any of the 1000’s of Movies & TV shows...
  14. User Interface Laggy?

    Gen2 running latest software update & yes, got slower over the last 2 updates. Despite the fact that I personally find it dangerously distracting to press the iPad (rather than have physical critical function buttons), this lag makes that even worse & extremely distracting & dangerous...
  15. Does Apple Music work for anyone with Connect+ right now?

    Posted about the same issue at the beginning of the week after having spoken to Rivian about it. had done both soft & hard reboots, but still spinning wheels. Hasn’t worked for me in 2 weeks now. Rivian’s response was that they ā€˜knew about it’ & that there wasn’t a fix until the next update.
  16. Connect +

    Yep, that was what I was told this evening, that it was a ā€˜known’ issue & there wasn’t an immediate fix, that they couldn’t comment on any refund, irrespective of whether you’d paid for it, or were still in trial, that a fix would be included in the next update. but anyone who’s got it to work...
  17. Connect +

    Noticed a week & half ago that the subscription id paid for Connect + & being able to listen to Apple Music had stopped working. Did both soft & hard reboots & was still spinning its wheels. Called Rivian & yes, it’s a ā€˜problem’ affecting anyone expecting to use their Connect + subscription with...
  18. Sliding on snow + ice: thank goodness for Soft Sand Mode

    Ha! I’ve got a full set for the Audi we just retired in getting an R1S. Maybe only used them twice in 13yrs! But they made a massive difference.
