  1. How big of a deal is “clunking” as R1S dual motors engage/disengage?

    Interesting you bring this up. I’m not sure if what I notice is the “clunking” or not but the only time I notice it is on I-17 on the way up from Phoenix to Flagstaff. For the OP — not a big deal. For me, it’s like a subtle gear shift you would feel in an ICE. You just don’t expect it in...
  2. New RAN in Durango

    I just looked and it’s on the map. Must have just added.
  3. 2023 R1S Range limit test report: Flagstaff to Tucson

    Correct. Older Superchargers are not compatible with non Tesla’s even with an adapter. So, unless those are upgraded, they won’t work for your Rivian. New River and the two locations in Flagstaff also are not compatible. The easiest way to see what I mean is to go in your Rivian phone app...
  4. 2023 R1S Range limit test report: Flagstaff to Tucson

    To be a little more accurate, I’m doing Munds Park and back. I use 45% up and 28% down with 6% for a quick trip and vampire drain while there. So, started at 100%, ended at 21% (86 miles). You’re right that Flagstaff is a bit further and a different thing. I did go up to Munds, then Flag with...
  5. 2023 R1S Range limit test report: Flagstaff to Tucson

    I do Phoenix to Flagstaff AND BACK, and separately Phoenix to Tucson AND BACK —- no charging. 2025 R1S with a Max pack. Love it! Muuuuhahahah!
  6. Looks like 2025.14.0 Update is out to beta testers (2025.14.1 now)

    Thanks. I hope I’m just missing something. I’ve tried this for years including in my former Tesla before voice texting was added to the car. Maybe I’m remembering wrong and the issue is if you ask it to read your messages? There was only one thing that didn’t work, but it was important. I’d...
  7. Looks like 2025.14.0 Update is out to beta testers (2025.14.1 now)

    I checked and had that switched on, but I swear it would never let me do it. I’ll try again this week. If that worked, I don’t care about built in texting for the vehicle. I don’t need to see it. Just the ability to do it by voice.
  8. Looks like 2025.14.0 Update is out to beta testers (2025.14.1 now)

    You can’t initiate a text through Siri when the phone is locked. So you have to pick up your phone and look at it to unlock it. It’s not really hands free. If it wasn’t for that, this would be perfectly usable to me.
  9. How Does the Dual Performane Upgrade Work? (Here's the Process & My Review)

    Adding another thumbs up after upgrqde. I saw the email about the 4.5 to 4.1 0-60 change before I did it, but I didn’t expect it to feel different with just general driving and it does. I previously had a Model Y Long Range with the speed boost. The Rivian now feels peppy like that in normal...
  10. Update 2025.06 on a Dual Motor w/ Performance Package purchased & unlocked.

    I’m with you. I didn’t understand the idea that if you’re buying a truck and spending an extra $5k you might as well spend $13k. And your case of $54k is pretty clear.
  11. Update 2025.06 on a Dual Motor w/ Performance Package purchased & unlocked.

    The Dual Max Performance has the $5k option. So, I don’t understand case regarding the value of the Performance upgrade that if you’re going to spend $5,000 you may as well spend $13,000. I’m not arguing. Just seeking to understand the relative value point. I assume there is more value per...
  12. Is there fast-charging for Rivians in Tucson Arizona?

    I just checked my Rivian app and it shows up. Check the filter button on the upper right and make sure you don't have "Adapter Needed" flipped on in the Hide section. Like you, I've stopped there in a Tesla several times, but haven't yet in a Rivian. I travel there from Phoenix and can now go...
  13. Is there fast-charging for Rivians in Tucson Arizona?

    On the way into town coming from the north there are good EA chargers at the Tucson Premium Outlets east off the I-10 exit to Twin Peaks Rd. A few miles past that there are good newer EV Go chargers at Target east off the Ina exit, and 1 mile later are Tesla chargers east off the Orange Grove...
  14. Gen 2 software issues

    I’ve had the volume one now a few times. Never had that before.
  15. Gen 2 software issues

    Also gen 2 R1S that has not experienced any of those.
  16. New Guy Range Issues - need some help

    Your efficiency will be different depending how, when and where you drive like others have said. Just as example of an expectation though, I get anywhere from 1.7 mi/kwh to 4.5 mi/kwh depending on elevation and speed, but average 2.3 mi/kwh over time. But I live in an area where it’s 60...
  17. Screen mirror your iPhone to Rivian display - via Replica App

    Check the Settings of each app (from iPhone Settings) and make sure the setting is flipped on to allow Network access. I've tried a bunch of apps and they all work. So, if YouTube is casting from your phone (i.e., you don't mean using the built in app in the vehicle) you've got it all going...
  18. Chromecast vs AirPlay

    ?. Mostly free or very discounted through cell phone accounts, credit card credits, other combos. Peacock is $20 to $25 per year each Black Friday.
  19. Chromecast vs AirPlay

    Hadn't tried that one so I went out and gave it a go. Worked fine. So, I flipped through and got these results with an iPhone 16 Pro Max: Peacock = yes Disney+ = yes Hulu = yes Prime Video = yes Max = yes Paramount+ = yes YouTubeTV = yes ESPN = yes Netflix = no (there's a cast button but it...
