I haven't followed the R2 very closely but it looks like Rivian knocked it out of the park. I'm very happy with our R1S, and we need the 3rd row, but if we only needed 2 rows, I would be thrilled with this. All the interior feature fine tuning (gloveboxes X2!, better door storage, steering...

I was about to post my general disappointment with the update as digital key, is a grand nothing-burger to me. Not really though, I'd more likely just grumble under my breath and not post anything as I wouldn't want to rain on others parades. Then I kept scrolling and oh heeelll yes to more...

I dropped off my R1S as the Chelsea SC today and asked some of the folks there how things were going with the rumored Canton location, expecting to get some flavor of non-answer. To my surprise they confirmed that it was in the works, but were unclear on timing. I went digging through the...

Climate keeper being set lower finally. I'm still not sure why we can't set it to whatever temp we want, but 63 should be low enough to induce the HVAC to do what I want. Also more HVAC improvements, hopefully these traffic nav changes make it accurate and therefore useful. And of course very...

That's really unfortunate and I hope Rivian can make it right over time for you. My build quality on my 2023 R1S is quite poor, rattles galore. I've started opting to drive the older 2018 built in a tent in Fremont Model 3 over the Rivian because it rattles less. I wish this wasn't the case...

The only thing of value in the $15 a month for Connect+ to me would be the integrated Spotify app, and I even then I am hard pressed to feel like that alone is worth the money. The app is janky and while nice that it's integrated, certainly doesn't raise to the level of worth another...

I'd love an electric boat, but this area is very early in the evolution away from ICE and sadly I see it taking a long long time to becoming mainstream. Some applications of it work great, lake boating, pontoon and sailboats, definitely interesting and viable. I'm an ocean boater with a 23 ft...

I'd really like this too. Our daily loop for kiddo drop off and pickup means I'm fiddling with the HVAC seemingly all the time. The kids are 4 and 6, so have to bring them into daycare/school, and turning on/off different vents resets every time I go to drive again. It would be great to have...

Suspension, HVAC controls AND HVAC performance improvements?!? Those are my biggest gripes (that can be fixed with software)! So perhaps needless to say I'm very excited for this update!!

Has anyone attempted to charge a v3 Tesla Supercharger that is not listed as compatible? I anticipate it won't work, but haven't seen any reports confirming that yet. I travel to western Long Island, NY often and before our R1S arrived our Model 3 was the "trip car". The addition of the v3...

I have little ones too, and went with Owley's kick protectors. To me they look quite nice, and don't look terribly out of place in the Rivian. They've taken a beating from my kids and look no worse for wear. https://owleys.com/car-seat-back-protector-kick-mat-hexy-black/

Inside EV did a bit of actual investigation into the widely reported story out of chicago https://insideevs.com/news/705057/chicago-tesla-stranded-ev-charging/

I voted for 3, for 5 weeks of total time at the SC. Only had my R1S for 5 months, all for trim, or fit, finish, and rattles. Items the vehicle should have never been delivered with, but it was completely drivable the whole time. Overall my Christmas wish came true, my vehicle is finally...

You can add me to the list of R1S non meridian sounds system owners that are generally let down by the sound system. There was another thread talking about a TSB on replacing the amp on R1S's to "provide more power to the rear speakers". If true, would seem to suggest they used the same amps...

Agreed, that is fantastic news. My 9XXX VIN R1S sounds like the same thing and its my biggest frustration with the vehicle. I have a mid November service apt and will be adding this officially to the list. Are there any details, a reference number or anything, on the service bulletin to guide...

I've been following the upcoming Q6 (not Q8) etron, that is supposed to be a 800v system and the first of a whole range of cars based on this platform (PPE). This SQ8 would check most of the boxes for me, but the lack of 7 seats is a deal breaker for my situation. Looks nice though, if I...

Agreed, the only Tesla SCs that work with CCS cars, currently, are the ones with the "magic dock". They're aren't many of them, and unlikely (IMHO) to be many more with manufacturers switching to the NACS plug (previously known as the Tesla plug) and the promise of adapters for current owners...

Why? There aren't many v1's left and Tesla has been adding so many v3's (and I assume v4's) and even upgrading v2's. V3's used to be rare (2 years ago or so?) But they're widely deployed now. Check out https://supercharge.info/map and filter for 250kW or more for v3+v4. There are a lot of...

Is THAT what it does?! Very interesting. I recently started experimenting and driving in Rally Mode more and definitely found an offramp much more unsettling than usual. I am visiting family on Long Island and these entrance/exit ramps are terrible in general so can't rule that out either. So...

Glad this finally a story. It's been pretty broadly known within the EV community that Tesla's estimates are very optimistic. I've never gotten the rated range on my 2018 Model 3, I run dedicated snows in the winter and performance all seasons in the summer, which admittedly effects things...
