  1. Rivian V2H Technical First Look (Patent)

    100% - there are many, many owners of R1s who have solar and who do not have enough battery power to get through the night off the grid. In sunny places like where I live, it would cut my electric bill substantially if I could work off my battery when power is most expensive and when solar isn't...
  2. iPhone 17 pro Proximity unlock with gen2 r1s

    Same for me when I am outside. I found when it doesn't recognize my phone as a key, cycling BT usually is fastest.
  3. iPhone 17 pro Proximity unlock with gen2 r1s

    I have noticed differences not only in proximity unlock, but also in the use of my iPhone as a key when I am in the vehicle. About 20%-25% of the time, my R1S will not recognize my iPhone 17 Pro Max as a key, and I have to stop and restart Bluetooth for it to work. Anyone else seeing this behavior?
  4. Rivian lays off 140 employees to improve operational efficiency for R2

    And that’s on the high end, I favor 130% for estimates of burden and additional miscellaneous expenses/investments.
  5. R1S Roll Back on Steep Hill at Red Light?!? Please help

    I have never experienced my Gen 1 R1S roll backwards on a hill, ever. Hold has consistently been pretty reliable for me.
  6. Will you convert your R1 reservation into an order or are you reconsidering it?

    I haven't reserved one yet, but I would in a second if my wife was interested in one. I love my R1S. My ownership experience could be better; my Rivian could have helped our new venture get funded. I will have to settle for just a great EV experience with only a handful of new car company...
  7. A Beautiful Disaster — Rivian Is Not Ready for Prime Time

    You should sell your car and buy a Model Y. They are much better service-wise ;-). You won’t find this satisfying, but it is normal for people to make mistakes, Shrek.
  8. A Beautiful Disaster — Rivian Is Not Ready for Prime Time

    In contrast to the OPs experience, mine has been excellent with a sub 3600 vin R1S, it has gone in for service for two minor issues, otherwise it has been remarkably reliable. In comparison, I have had a Ford Bronco and a Plymouth Voyager mini van where both gave me nightmare car experiences in...
  9. RIVIAN Execs! Brakes stoped working in highway at over 76MPH

    Not a rant. I for one am glad the OP chose to let us know about it. I love my R1S, but if this is even possible, I want to know.
  10. Camp Speaker controls cheat sheet

    I was hoping the same, but it won’t charge. It’s been on a 100W charger for 2 days.
  11. Camp Speaker controls cheat sheet

    Just took out mine, it is also not holding a charge. Hoping they will take care of it, I pass 2 years in September of this year.
  12. Frunk Continuesly opening

    Interesting, I will try this and report what happens.
  13. Frunk Continuesly opening

    Mine still does this, when I press the button to close the frunk, it almost closes, then springs open again. It closes when I close it manually, which is what I do, since that is how I've been closing my hood for 40+ years. :-) I do want it to work, but it will have to wait until I have a...
  14. Gen 1 R1S 2023 low miles

    I have none of these issues with my R1S, sorry to hear about your troubles.
  15. Upgrade Gen1 cameras to Gen2?

    The longer I think about this, the more I am good with my current investment in my R1S. The cameras I have work better than my previous ICE Grand Cherokee, which didn't have any self-driving features and only a backup camera. In any event, it is damn likely that this car will age out before they...
  16. LIDAR vs Camera self-driving tests

    I am a Rober fan as well; he makes science accessible for lots of kids. And I don't necessarily find it stupid to see how these vehicles' sensors behave using a painted wall as stimuli. And it was my kids who told me about Mark Rober. The glitter bombs are pure gold IMHO.
  17. Undocumented Changes in 2025.06

    Hey Moose, Rocco, help the judge find his wallet. Funny every time I think about it. :CWL:
  18. Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Solution is Coming Soon... (seriously) -- by EV Play

    100% agree, and it will offer the very best chance of receiving all of Rivian's support; I am looking forward to trying it out.
  19. Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Solution is Coming Soon... (seriously) -- by EV Play

    My bet is that anything that disintermediates a revenue generating service like Connect+ is not going to get a green light to be integrated so tightly, but I am not the developer.
