Nothing new to report yet, but I just reached out to Rivian for an update today. Will report back. I don’t see any hope for a fix in the next update notes either.
I'm curious if anyone has figured out a way to resolve this without the Service Center. I picked up a new R1S on Friday and it had the issue on pickup. Cannot save seat/wheel settings, says it needs calibration. They told me an OTA update would resolve shortly and do did not fix it while I...
That is a fair question. Per my guide, Rivian and XPEL underestimated the popularity of this option and were well backed up for film application at the factory (as of two weeks ago). Some people also prefer to use a local business with known/trusted QC vs trusting Rivian has been able to...
I received a bunch of quotes, including a number at $1500. I'd asked a few whether they'd honor the $1500 early on (and they did) but then stopped as the quotes flooded in. I am expecting delivery in the next week and have an appointment at a very well-regarded shop that does tons of high-end...
If you go to the Xpel website and use their Rivian referral tool, you will get a emailed quote from every PPF shop in town over the next few days. Half will remember they have a $1500 deal with Rivian, and half will not. Half of those who do not will remember when reminded. All will have...
This is exactly what I needed, thank you Kyle. I am glad to hear snow tires don't reduce range by too much. You said wheels do. Is that just the size (diameter, width) and weight, or also the spoke design? I haven't seen aftermarket EV wheels hyping efficiency, but I haven't really looked...
That would be great (since I'll already be paying for the parking.) I'll surely look for open chargers, but I share TheManInTheSea's concern about joining a huge bubble of new EV owners. I figure we cannot count on these chargers being open/operational all the time.
To answer earlier...
Super helpeful information here, thank you all.
Rhidan, I wasn't aware of ABRP but it is a cool tool.
jjswan33, you have a good point re: Blizzaks. I run them on what I'd previously considered to be a heavy SUV, but the Rivian resets this reference in dramatic fashion. I've always found...
Thank you Frank, that is a great data point. Are you running snow tires and/or have you ever had a ski box or rack on your Taycan? I don't know how much of a handicap to apply for those.
You observed something I should have mentioned for out-of-state responders: the drive up/down I-70 on a...
I hoping an R1S (with the "300 mile" battery) will be my first EV and am projected to have the chance to take delivery this summer. The ability to make a day trip from Denver to the Summit County ski areas and back without a charge is a critical one for my family. I don't imagine we'll see...
Let me piggyback on RivianMD and Sheydon: does hardware currently exist to allow V2H Powerwall type functionality as well as DC to DC charging from home solar panels? This seems within the capability of a smart inverter, but I am a few years out of date on current tech in this space. V2H would...
This is silly enough I hope it isn't an issue, but a 2021-2022 luxury vehicle without driver's seat memory with at least 2 memory slots would be pretty tough to swallow.
BMW, Volvo, Audi, and other benchmark vehicles I am aware of have at least offered memory seats as an option for almost two decades. Has no evidence of preset switches appeared to date? This would be a silly, cheap thing to lose customers over, but with a 13” height difference between drivers...
Great points. As was noted earlier, the front brake calipers are huge glossy yellow things that could have been lifted from a high spec 911. The rears appear twice in the video unfinished. I wonder if this will change. The rear calipers are tiny so might look a bit odd in splashy yellow, but...
I hope it is just the video’s focus point, but the paint looks dead and somewhat flat to me in many of the shots. There are a couple of angles with high gloss, but in a lot of the panning closeups the paint seems to lack any depth. Does anyone else see this? I’m hoping the final product has...
Great reasoning HMP10, thank you, and great discussion all around.
Yes, I'm wrestling with an older 7' garage door. An Audi Q7 with the lowest-profile roofbox made and factory bars will safely fit under my door. If Rivian is able to fashion a very low-profile set of bars and allow a...
Can anyone clarify "Overall Height (Curb)" as it relates to vehicles like these with an air suspension? With over 6" of height adjustment on the suspension it seems the height should have a max and min rather than be a fixed height.
This matters to those of us in ski country who'd have ski...
