This post should be pinned somewhere. Very succinct and clear description of the differences. Thank you.

Many of these factors are highly variable in different cities. So making broad conclusions seems questionable. Rivians use the same charging as most other EVs so I don’t understand the comments about charging. And they don’t charge slower per kWh - they have larger batteries. I can imagine...

this is the simplest and best way to address the issue, thank you! no need to log out on your apple device. Just tell your Rivian to login using a different account and scan the QR code and you are set.

Yeah I’ve heard the same explanation on the epa certification. But it is interesting then that vehicles that got the software upgrade to performance have some acceleration improvements even in all purpose mode. Which seems to at least partially debunk Rivians own logic on why you have to...

I know. They won’t do CarPlay but then won’t provide some basic functionality another way. Yeah you can use Siri but it’s annoying and nice to have more integration.

It is confusing what the Rivian overall strategy is on these modes on gen2 performance vehicles on one hand they gave us automatic moving to 2 wheel drive to save energy but on the other hand they make us pick sport mode to get full acceleration. perhaps provide some settings to allow use to...

I came from a Tesla and driver+ performance in a gen2 vehicle on highways is similar to Tesla highway autosteer performance. I use it broadly without issues. I keep my hands on the wheel though. And I don’t rely on it in tight spaces at high speed. I use it in stop and go traffic with no...

Hi- It appears that the function added a few updates ago to let you say which wheels you have mounted on your truck is buggy. For my winter tire/wheel setup I have MSW Type 52 20x8.5 wheels with Nokian R5 275/60R-20 tires on them. This is consistent with configurations Rivian has had with...

To be clear I’m seeing overall 2.4 like you reference. The scenario the OP is discussing though is in many ways nearly ideal for rivian efficiency due to lower speeds and fairly temperate conditions with dry roads.

Not for the speeds and conditions he describes. I would expect it to be significantly higher ie closer to 2.8-3mi/kwhwhen going under 50 mph in temperate conditions.

good point. Heat pumps are pretty simple overall and are doing the work of two different systems. All good points but definitely speculation without some data. I could argue that perhaps being used consistently improves reliability in some ways but who knows. do we know if other...

my 2016 Model S with resistive heating pulled 6-7 kW so it is not unreasonable that the larger vehicles we are discussing would pull a little more. It’s been a while since having that vehicle but I recall it would cycle between that peak and a lower mode which was around 3 kW. I do not know...

Yeah it has been posted in several forums here as well as a Facebook group where it has since disappeared. And they just joined here.

I’m curious - this precise story was posted to one of the Rivian Facebook groups this afternoon as well and then appears to have been removed. Was that you? Why was it removed?

I ended up getting the sport dark since that config came up first instead of the range wheels. Sounds like maybe I lucked out. If there was a clear and meaningful efficiency benefit it would be one thing but it’s not clear that is the case at all.

I totally get your frustration. I have been driving EVS for 7 years (teslas before my R1s) and mostly had a very positive experience. I have experienced some software glitches occasionally though and this one was worrisome for me even though it hasn’t recurred. Rivian is about a year younger...

So my issues have not recurred but did not really get a specific answer except maybe a software problem. They didn't find any hardware issue like they did with your vehicle. I also had them check on some rattles and air leaks which they did not address so am going back in January. They...

I head to service later this week. Problem hasn’t recurred however I’ve had a lot of intermittent front, rear, or both sensor failures. I will let you know what the service people say.

only issue was getting into park after error and had to use the screen to do so

I agree it seems most likely a software bug but the complexity of the vehicle raises the possibility of an intermittent hardware issue that only surfaces sometimes. An example from another vehicle: had an Infiniti q50 with steer by wire. Car would sometimes raise faults that cleared until one...
