  1. Assistant Cannot Read Contacts

    The Rivian assistant Cannot find any of my contacts even though they are plainly visible on the screen. Call John smith yeilds a "there is no John smith in your contacts" even though it is obviously there. I've tried a reboot and a toggle off and on for BT. Running Samsung Galaxy 26 on the...
  2. Rival: EX60 Configurator opening this month

    The EX60 is shaping up to be a very compelling alternative to the R2. The P10 version has very similar specs at a similar price, the P6 will compete with the "standard" R2 when it comes out, and the P12 is the 400 mile max pack I wish Rivian would build. Here is a quick comparison chart and a...
  3. R2 Highway Range at 70MPH = ~250 Miles (Modeled)

    This is a longwinded post but the short version is I figured it was pretty straightforward to build a decent model to predict highway range. So I got together with Claude and Gemini and we did. I did this for another reason but then ran R2 through it and thought you folks would find it useful...
  4. RJ's commitments on Gen 2 R1 Autonomous Driving: L2 this year (2026), L3 next year (2027)

    RJ was on Bloomberg talking about the R2 Launch and he made some very precise and very explicit claims about what and when the Gen 2 autonomy pack will achieve: Ed Ludlow's question: RJ's response — setting the stage with Gen 2 R1 as the baseline: Bloomberg Interview: I am skeptical that...
  5. Gen 2 HVAC Service Campaign / Recall

    I have not seen another thread on this so thought it was worth a post. Rivian called to ask us to bring in the 2025 R1S Tri for a preemptive service campaign to check for leaks in the HVAC system. They ended up keeping it for a 8 days and replacing the compressor. Not sure how widespread the...
  6. Autonomy+ Poll: Will you be buying / subscribing to it?

    Autonomy+ starting to charge on April 4, seems like a good time to post a poll. If you are a Gen 2 owner, will you be buying or subscribing?
  7. Scout Launch Delayed to 2028: Report [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    https://www.scoutforums.com/forum/threads/scout-launch-delayed-until-2028-summer-report.17132/ Edit 1: And the non-denial denial arrives: https://www.autoblog.com/news/scouts-launch-delayed-to-2028-amid-budget-overruns-and-dealer-lawsuit Edit2: Now confirmed by CEO...
  8. What did they do to ABRP?!?

    I logged into ABRP to do a trip plan on the web and the 7.0 update (Jan 22?) makes it nearly unusable and truly awful. It now gives you three options and it is extremely difficult to customize (changing locations, changing arrive and leave charging percentages, etc.). It is now far too dependent...
  9. Advice, Big Bend Old Ore Road

    We are planning a trip to Big Bend National Park in early March and tentatively have on the agenda to drive our Dune and do the 26 mile Old Ore Road. We are running Michelin LTXs on it now (have a full-sized spare I can throw in the back). I would welcome feedback from those familiar with the...
  10. Solution: Passive Entry Via Bluetooth Not working

    Among several ongoing digital key issues I am experiencing today after changing "owners" on our R1S, the selection for Passive Entry Via Bluetooth* was showing as toggled on but the vehicle and the app kept saying "the owner has set to off" which was causing key sharing and other problems...
  11. Rivian AI Vehicles - How to Solve the Osborne Problem

    I am wondering WTH RJ was thinking by announcing the transformation to "AI Enabled Vehicles" a year ahead of when the first ones are coming to market. The tech is compelling, which makes it all the more difficult to imagine why anyone would buy a new Rivian now rather than waiting (especially if...
  12. Key Card Replacement = $80

    I was trying to get an additional key card as one of mine got cracked (still works for now). The process requires making a service appointment (srsly?) and costs over $80. I mean WTH, Rivian? Tesla charges $40 for two key cards and a wallet, sent in the mail with DIY "programming." Rivian...
  13. Autonomy+ / Driver+ Subscription How Much Will You Pay?

    While looking at the Rivian web site i was reminded that, "Rivian Autonomy Platform+ features shown are included at no extra cost through late 2025." With ~60 days left in 2025, the deadline is fast approaching when Rivian has promised to announce its subscription costs for driver+ (Gen 1) and...
  14. Getting Android Gemini to Work on Bluetooth

    Looking for help from you Android aficionados. I am in the process of replacing my iPhone with a Pixel 10 pro. I cannot for the life of me get the Gemini to converse via the Rivian's Bluetooth. If I say hey Google it drops the volume but it responds with text and no audio. It seems to work...
  15. Rivian Beats Tesla S/X/CT Combined Global Sales Q2

    Just thought I would put a positive spin on the otherwise not so great Q2 sales numbers of 10,661. It is true, however, that Rivian outsold the combined global sales of Tesla Cybertruck, Model S and Model X (10,394) in Q2. So in context, not terrible...
  16. Study: Aggressive Acceleration Good for Battery Life

    This seems worth posting. Study out of Stanford says that occasional hard acceleration is good for battery life. So the occasional 0-XX test next to the guy in the noisy poj Dodge is just being a good car owner. It's science. https://insideevs.com/news/764150/ev-battery-flooring-it-good/...
  17. Dune Color Hiking Boots

    Well, I am in the process of replacing my worn out Lowa Renegades and I bought a pair of the new Hoka Kaha 3 GTX. They arrived today and they are Dune color (or as close as you can get!). For any Dune owners out there looking for color-coordinated hiking gear... here you go! (Side note, very...
  18. BYD Shark on the Road Very Nice

    I was headed down to south Houston today and found myself driving for about 15 minutes next to a new BYD Shark with Mexican plates (presumably from the factory down there). It was the first time I had seen one in person, and being in my R1T it was an interesting side-by-side (at least while...
  19. R2S GPT Renders

    Just for fun, here is what ChatGPT came up with as a render for an off road edition and for a dune edition of the R2S. Not bad IMO
