Feel for you going through it multiple times. Mine is down too with suspension hydraulic line leaking and the earliest appointment is 2 months out. They say it's drivable so no rush, I don't agree it's safe to drive so will sit in the driveway for the time being. The irony here is my EV is...
My state didn't build a single station with the funds and we are a full on Democrat state all about pushing EVs. So what was taking so long?
I think it's worth pausing and looking into all the bureaucracy behind the dispensing of funds.
January is usually a bad month for sales so can't judge based on that. But they need to fix service and fast. R2 isn't going to save them, when the default sc appointment is 2 months out regardless of severity of issue it scares potential buyers that are risk averse. Plus Range Rover parts and...
I just set mine up last week to take control of my home alarm and bring all my smart devices under one app so they can work in harmony instead of making connectors with IFTTT The rivian integration is cool for monitoring data trends especially with the battery.
Setup your own home assistant server. Can be done for less than a $100 or free if you have an old PC lying around and all the instructions are on their site and github just takes some time to read carefully and follow.
I'm going to guess this is a smoke and mirror show. I think we saw a glimpse of this in the last update. I just setup my HA instance a few days ago but notice how SOC goes up or flat lines while battery capacity keeps going down, truck hasn't moved for a few days and not plugged in so how is SOC...
I was thinking the same thing this past storm it's pretty clear their designers never lived in a cold climate nor tested it extreme cold conditions outside a lab.
To add to your list
Wipers that don't have a heated landing zone
Wipers that can't be propped up without putting it in servicing...
I thought I saw a brake service option added to the service menu.
Also the brake controller looks to only have a 2 pin wire so most likely only needs 12v power swapping polarity to engage/disengage the parking brake so may not need specialized tools to actually DIY. Probing those wires while it...
Happened to me last month, hard reset didn't bring it back but the soft reset did. Seems weird that the hard reset doesn't include whatever the soft reset does.
Have you looked into the Chevy BrightDrop vans? Not sure if they'll fit a pallet through the door but they are going to start selling to the public soon and available in AWD.
Wasn't designed for L2 charging no pins for it. Why probably because the Tesla side shares pins for both AC and DC so can't have 1 adapter that can do both as it would feed the wrong current to one set of pins on the J1772/ccs side.
There are people that offer 3d printing services search Facebook marketplace. I printed it out of ABS so should hold up to the elements not sure of longevity as I've only made it a few weeks ago but holds up fine upto 90mph haven't tried it at higher speeds.
This worked well for me(not my design). Very difficult to print on my crappy printer but good design needing minor sanding and slightly size increase but that could be due to the printer.

I'd say it would be some of the smaller players that are behind on electrics like JLR, Mazda, Aston, Lotus and etc that realistically can't afford to have their own in house software team at the volume they sell.
Same here makes no sense to warm the battery if you aren't planning on draining the battery fully on your trip. Trying to raise efficiency while burning electricity from the wall doesn't make sense if you don't need the full range. Do it because you want a warm cabin.
Warming the cabin plugged...
Good info let us know at what temp it actually starts accepting a charge. Doesn't really get that cold around here but we may on occasion see -10F so would be good to know when to stick the Rivian in the garage, though not sure I want my other car outside in that weather also.
