For those who think the remotes and the app just kind of, well, blow... I made this

You can flash an esp32c6 and now I control mine from a little remote. Eventually I will integrate it somehow into the truck.
Laws are different in different places, but for example here in WA it is something like if they have it for X days and cannot fix it or if they tried X times and are not able. SAVE EVERYTHING, take no phone calls without emailing followups, record conversations (if allowed by law) and pretend...
Let me give you some advice ;) the average IQ is 100, by definition. So that means a good number of people in the world and on the internet are not so smart. Better to not to get too upset at people who say stupid stuff.
Rivian sucks - you are going to have to yell. I live in WA and use the...
The building with the Dos Caminos sign was a sex club for decades. Used to see some pretty famous people there in the mid 90's...funny to see that part of town all gussied up. And how ironic, the location used to be a gas station...
What I find is that unless I make a nuclear level stink, no one gives a **** at Rivian. It is so sad, so annoying, and a waste of time. Let's hope after the long list of delivery issues I had, I do not have to deal with them anytime soon. My truck was in service for 3 weeks with no end date and...
I know someone who worked on the Apple car project, CarPlay and the new headset. Genius level embedded systems person. Listening to his talk about what they have been up to is really interesting...but it seems they are missing one opportunity here: they need a CarPlay widget that plugs into...
Since my Rivian has been stuck in the service center for weeks with no sign of reappearing after a week of ownership...I've just trolling these forums seeing what's up.
I am looking this over and not understanding what the use case is - what problem are you trying to solve? You like ABRP and...
Well I am not sure if this is true everywhere but in the PNW it is any white Tesla - this car is bound to be going under the speed limit in the left lane, randomly stop, fail to accelerate on an onramp, and just generally be confused. In BC they will also be abandoned on the roadside when there...
Right... look at the BMW, Audi, Jag, etc... their models are the click / drag to scale. Same styling cues, etc... just larger/smaller versions. My XF, XE, XJ were the same damn car just scaled up and down. It makes a lot of sense.
I do think they could save all that price difference not putting...
So me and a buddy have 12+ cars between us and love cars. When my Rivian guide forgot the English meaning of Guide, we went to look at the Ocean. Because they are almost giving them away - my memory tells me I could buy 2.5 of them for my Rivian. We found an owner who had an issue with his. He...
I have never been so abused to hand over 120 grand. Car sales people are some of the most hated people on earth, I'm aware. However my Jaguar and Audi dealers have never treated me like I was buying a book on Amazon, failed to call me back, and caused me to need to lose my cool. Rivian needs to...
TLDR; vehicle impressive, everything around it not so much...
I wanted to chime in here as I have been lurking on this forum for a while as I waited for my R1S.
Pre-Delivery : Rivian gets a F in my book. My guide seemed not to know what the word guide means and the entire process was never...
Here in WA, it would seem, Nationwide will not issue insurance through Rivian without also covering your home. I refused to give up my homeowners for a variety of reasons. I am not sure this is entirely legal...I'd stay away from Nationwide. That said regulators approved a big hike in rates...
I have a related question, I think...my new R1S does something odd: the driver's side brake light stays on for a long time after I lock and leave the vehicle. I tried to see why, poured over the manual, etc... something tells me this is a bug, but, wanted to ask.
