I commented on this long ago. I have been driving for over 50 years and whenever I got into a vehicle, the radio ALWAYS worked, until now. Even Sirius/XM does not work like a normal satellite driven device. So there is a fix, and certainly not a pricy fix for the cost of these vehicles - real...
Had a new one yesterday on a two lane highway with trees hanging low. No other cars, no signs or anything on the side of the road but trees. It seems that the overhanging trees confused the adaptive cruise control and the truck started to stop in the middle of no where. Powered through, but...
Had it happen yesterday with a car passing me on the left on a four lane highway. Vehicle wanted to stop at highway speeds. Very disconcerting. I have rented dozens of vehicles with adaptive cruise control and none have given me grief or acted like this Rivian adaptive cruise control.
I find radio, Apple Music and even the extra paid for Sirus/XM are all glitchy. Getting better, but not reliable.
Don't use Rivian Voice Assist since when I asked her to bring in the side mirrors, she lectured me on how to do it myself.
Don't have hands free but it occurs with adaptive cruise. Very disconcerting worrying about being rear ended as it will occur at highway speeds (act like it is coming to a complete stop). And yes, I am flooring it as the the slow down is as sharp as turning off cruise with high regen - like...
Bit of a luddite here as I don't normally use voice activated assistant. But for what I wanted to use it for it was very limited - Only knows station numbers and not call letters for the radio (yes - I listen to the radio), When I asked Rivian to fold in my side mirrors it told me to do it...
I do not have the premium highway assist and am fine with the normal on the interstates. Just wish it would do it on secondary roads. Yesterday I was on the interstate and tried to engage highway assist and the message on the dash was something to the effect “highway assist is not available...
I was putting boats in the lake for the season and when I went to back-up on the ramp, a warning message appears the says "Rear Cross-Traffic Warning Unavailable." Nice - it obscures the exact picture i want to use when backing up with a trailer. When pulling a trailer, I know that there will...
I liked the Autonomy+ free trial, but balked at the price to continue. My wife just bought a Subaru Forester Touring hybrid that we just took on a cross country trip. The free Eyesight driving assistance is very similar to the Autonomy+ offered by Rivian at a premium. So here is a car that...
Yeah - I may be a jerk, but I was having all kinds of user errors taking that cover on and off. I could not do it without getting on my back to do it. I do not keep a hitch on unless I am using it, but the bumper step is so much more convenient (and much less expensive to replace!) and useful...
I used to have that problem with my canoe and trucks back when I carried a canoe - some 25 years ago. Use natural fiber rope (cotton) and the "canoe hitch". Then I would put a towel (diaper back then) between the rope and the truck. I will not guarantee no scratches, but it will certainly help.
I don't have to worry any longer. Seems that my cover is now on the roadside somewhere. I am sure it was user error, but now I have a bumper step in the hitch and no longer need to worry about screwdrivers, tools, or getting under the truck just to put on and take off that cover.
One thing I noticed is that when you put on the front defroster - everything goes on high including temperature. Turn off the defroster and the temperature stays high. Have to bring it down for the system afterwards.
May not be helpful, but I was confused for a while why everything was so hot...
Use adaptive brights the first time I drove in the dark when getting my Gen2 about 14 months ago. Couple flashes by other drivers gave me concern, but it was the neighborhood walkers that shaded their eyes and about went to their knees that made me turn it off. Been off ever since and will not...
Lost power for a day this summer and used the Rivian to alternate between the two refrigerators. Couple percent loss if I remember correctly. I have run a gas furnace as one poster did by installing pigtail for the furnace and ran off the neighbors which is a different circuit. Will do the...
