  1. Two drivers: Rivian picks wrong phone

    Thanks for the feedback: I did look for a setting to adjust - glad to know I'm not crazy. Hopefully its on the nice to have / easy to change in the future.
  2. Two drivers: Rivian picks wrong phone

    This is a weird one and it’s happened a few times - wondering if anyone else experienced / is there a setting I’m missing? Some other cars I’ve had specifically allow you to set connection priorities. We start to get in my 2025 R1S and the Rivian switches driver to my wife. I’m setup as owner...
  3. No Key Detected - WTF?

    Not sure - but fwiw, mine sits in a detached garage pretty far from my phone. But it does seem like a slow wake up issue
  4. No Key Detected - WTF?

    Periodically I’ve noticed this issue, (prior to most recent update). Largely appears to me to be after waking the car in my garage - but other than that, no rhyme or reason
  5. Are supercars POINTLESS? Corvette Z06 vs Rivian R1T: DRAG RACE (by Carwow)

    Own sports car + R1Ss … two totally different animals. R1S will best my sports car off the line (by a little)… first corner and it’s game over. I take the R1S when it’s raining, need to haul something or need to sit inside with a/c on waiting for the kids. Choose the sports car every chance I get.
  6. DIY Tire Rotation?

    Agreed - just weird. Def diff wear pattern than every prior ice suv
  7. DIY Tire Rotation?

    I do the same - often swapping wheels between trips if it’s going to be a while before we head back into the snow. Feels odd to put the better tread up front (historically have put the better tread in back). Take me 45-60min taking my time. I do use a batt torque wrench + a wheel dolley
  8. Tire Replacement(S) and Rivian Alignment

    Yup: can’t get alignment locally due to probs with needing to reset something in the software - I replaced front set of tires on both Rivians @ 10ish thousand miles and got them (Rivian) to at least comp the alignment.
  9. From an EV9 to an R1S – My Experience & Opinions

    Not to hijack, but I think lower kneel is on the next release fwiw
  10. Buttons on steering wheels

    Makes a ton of sense to me: keeps the whole minimalist aesthetic with great no look controls. Especially since no paddles behind this wheel.
  11. Buttons on steering wheels

    Still miss my RR buttons on the steering wheel - they were tactile and touch capacitance; functions would change depending on different conditions. One spot that would work well is the back of the steering wheel. The Jeep Grand Cherokee had buttons on the back (15? Years ago) for entertainment...
  12. Rivian could have made better winter design choices.

    And, often: a whiz bang demo to impress fails to prove necessary in the real world. One auto writer said it best “door handles did not need a redesign”.
  13. $2500 Autonomy+ one time purchase now an option on Rivian configurator

    TBH, I’m not going to pay as just not good enough where I generally drive (many single lane mtn rds.) Happy to have acc + lane assist for long drives. I do see commuters using this a lot and know of many T drivers that like their version to get them home after some cocktails. Neither really my...
  14. Purchasing frustration

    Since they just dump it and aren’t in the used car business, that leaves very little margin. I had Rivian deliver my R1S and Carvana pick up a car - everything done online and super, super easy, FWIW
  15. Vehicle Location - App FAIL

    Recently had random location probs on a 1 year old 2025 Gen 2 R1S - the service center confirmed probs and replaced a wireless module (although I’m unclear what they replaced)
  16. Winter weather driving experience and tips

    There are some good threads around here, particularly discussing winter tires. Some have had great experience with all seasons, but tread lightly Use snow mode to “detune” everything and learn to feather the throttle vs lifting off if sliding. With snow tires, we’ve found the Rivian to be...
  17. 3PMSF, probably not what you think it means.

    I’d say do both: good reviews + that symbol gets you through chain controls. In my youth we used to drive a friends RWD Audi coupe up to Tahoe and could usually sail through chain control with good winter tires, but 1x they stopped us, crawled under the car and pointed us to the side of the...
  18. Displayed speed limit often wrong

    Happens on our Rivian and another car we have - both in car nav and Waze. Maybe just driving too fast for sats to keep up 🤷‍♂️
  19. Where $RIVN is Headed in 2026?

    I think there are significant headwinds for the foreseeable future. My opinion is that R2 will roll out slow and steady - hopefully gaining steam as people get their hands on them. I do believe the midsize SUV is one of the hottest segments. Even if R2 does what it’s supposed to, it wil take a...
  20. EV torque + snow: friend or foe?

    I’ve had great success with Haka R5s @ 48psi in Tahoe last two years on the R1Ss - although I did downsize the snows to 60series on 20s, so that sidewall may help? I’ve used Nokian, Bridgestone & Michelin snow tires for every vehicle I’ve owned last 20 years and always put the factory rec psi...
