Looks like Tesla's big bet on cameras only and no lidar/radar is coming under scrutiny. Enormous strategic blunder? https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/tesla-faces-expanded-u-s-probe-over-self-driving-performance-in-poor-weather-f3378bb6?st=iyFMxU&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

My center screen is sporadically flickering when on Tune-In and sometimes on iTunes. I have a 2023 R1S. Anyone else having this trouble? I’m concerned that it may be a hardware issue. I’ve attached a video.

Has Rivian ever talked about enabling their cars to share power back to your house in the event of a power outage? It sure would be great to have that feature in the event of a short term outage.

I have a Gen1 R1S. Recently it has been really hot here in Virginia and my AC has been acting up. When it is over 90, the AC takes a long time to cool down and sometimes the temp will go up and down randomly and the fan speed will go up and down randomly. I never set my AC to automatic and...

Three days ago my R1S signed me out of Apple Music and it won’t let me sign back in again. I have scanned the QR code and signed in with Apple. Apple says I am signed in on my iPhone but my Rivian says “Subscription not Found. Please subscribe to Apple Music in another device”. I’ve rebooted the...

Apple TV+ has a series called “Long Way Home” where actor Ewan McGregor and his best friend drive old motorcycles around Scandinavia and Northern Europe. Rivians are their support vehicles. There are other older versions of the show called “Long Way Up”, “Long way Down” and “Long Way Round”. In...

Anyone notice that SiriusXM is not displaying the song details (album cover, artist and song) consistently? Mine works half the time. I have to use Shazam to ID songs.

I wonder if Rivian vehicles will be able to support Alexa +… https://www.wsj.com/tech/amazon-alexa-plans-ai-panos-panay-0e6de132?st=NpRPVa&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

I was driving today and while traveling @55 mph both screens went black and the car rebooted itself. The car continued to drive. The speedometer continued to show but it was dimmed way back. Has this ever happened to anyone? What could have caused this?

World’s second-largest automaker and the Silicon Valley startup are trying to address each other’s core weakness. Read the article here.

I just dropped off my R1S to get the tailgate adjusted (not opening properly-warranty repair), tire rotation and state inspection. I made the appointment 2 months ago. I was told it would be TWO WEEKS until they would get to it. I asked if I could keep it and bring it back in two weeks and they...

https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/after-layoffs-teslas-supercharger-expansion-slows-0d12cbaa?st=s2kXX1&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink I'm wondering if the slow roll out of adaptors is intentional. While opening up the Network to non-Teslas has gotten them Federal money, could they be...

Rather than develop an integration for every music service on their own, Rivian should partner with Sonos to make their technology a part of all Rivians. Sonos already has integrations with multiple services. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find a system that has more services on their...

I am very happy that Rivian now has Apple Music built in but it has one major flaw: if you play one of your personal playlists, the list will only show a max of 50 tracks. I have lots of playlists with more than 50 songs. This really limits the usefulness of Apple Music. Rivian, if you are...

There’s a lot of discussion regarding taking up two parking spots in order to charge a Rivian at Tesla stations. I’m curious: do they make a level 3 extension cord? I’ve done a search but all of them seem to be level 2. Anyone have one? Where did you get it?

I had my first service on my R1S at my local Rivian service center in Richmond, Va today. Here are my observations: The local service guy called me the day before and confirmed what needed to be fixed and walked me through what to expect. Great touch and much appreciated. I had two relatively...

Here’s mine…

I really love my R1S and I have very few complaints but one glaring weakness is the quality of the sound system. I have the in-house developed system, not the Meridian one. I have played with the equalizer and the various settings, but the stereo sounds flat and muddy. Has anyone looked into...
