I choose to cut them and then temporarily closed the holes/slots with Gorilla tape (yeah kind of redneck). But, I plan to cut pieces from rubber gasket material and use 3M weather strip adhesive to make a nicer seal for them.
You can stream anything via your phone's Bluetooth BUT:
1. it will be reduced sound quality and
2. once you loose cell signal there will be nothing to cast.
Missing a satellite connection is a big mistake for the "Adventure Car" in fact it is the only issue I have with it so far. It is not...
I wish you could open/close the charg port door from the app. I have pulled into the garage got the charger and then had to climb back in the car, get to the correct screen, open the charge port and then plug in multiple times. A real first world problem. :)
We passed by a school yesterday during the elementary age children's soccer game. Two teams were walking through the cross walk and my wife and I burst our laughing at the zombie herd in front of us.
I was to Eugene OR a few days ago and it was very foggy and all cars were going slowly on the highway. I could only see the car in front of me an barely see the tail lights of the car in front of that. However, the Rivian could "see" the car in front of me an two more in the distance. So...
It is always there, it is part of the suspension. If it had a gasoline or diesel motor you would probably not hear it. EV's have many different sounds that ICE cars do not. Our Volvo XC40 Recharge makes all sorts of clicks, fans noise, groans and our Chevy Bolts used to make different noises...
True but they have been producing the Bolt since 2017 and the first models were well under $30k.
In a way they were pioneers to get affordable EV's out there and popular. Looks like they will continue with the Bolt for a while...
The R1S is our 4th EV over 8 years (2 Chevy Bolts and a Volvo XC40 Recharge). When we first tried driving with OPD it was very similar as when we learned to drive a stick shift/clutch. Jerky and uneven. After a short amount of time we learned to regulate the accelerator so the car drove...
ONX maps in native would be awesome! We use it all the time hunting, backpacking, snowshoeing and driving on our timber property. I already have a subscription so If we could download the app that would be great!
Not a fan of any apple product so I don't care about car play. I would much...
Regarding the screens that show detailed vehicle status, if you take your Rivian off road at all many of these features are very useful. Most people might see a gravel road as off road, but for those of us that drive through mountains, canyons and creeks for work or play, those details are very...
Our Volvo XC40 Recharge also does not show the odometer unless you work through the menus to get there. But the remaining range in mileage is always there which is nice.
The Volvo also has the ability to show Google map on the screen in front of the driver with your chosen route highlighted...
