  1. Apple Music App Crash

    Not sure I would call this crashing, but every once in awhile it just stops playing, the screen is still there, sometimes there is a momentary pause as it switched into or out of Dolby Atmos mode. When it stops playing I hit play and the song starts over where I would hope it would continue...
  2. Electrek - Tesla and SpaceX announce $25B ‘Terafab’ chip factory — here’s why it reeks of desperation

    Rivian owners are Rivian owners because they don’t like Leon
  3. R2 Colors List Revealed! Launch Green, Borealis, Midnight, Forest Green, Esker Silver, Catalina Cove, Glacier White, Half Moon Grey šŸŽØ

    Having just traded in a perfectly good Canyon Red for a Borealis R1S (and took a bath on the deal). My wife insists that the R2 will be Canyon Read... oh, she's going to be pissed that the color is not available for R2. Hindsight being 20/20 I could have kept the Canyon Red and gotten an R2 for...
  4. How quickly will R2 be built

    I have a reservation that I placed in Nov 2025, but am hoping I'm late enough in the queue to get a second model year, not the first. I'd like to get it with the smallest battery, but with the Lidar configuration. That said, I have purchased two R1Ses, one in 2024 then traded in for a 2026 in...
  5. R2 has bidirectional V2L / V2H (vehicle-to-home) specification article

    Curious what brand of battery backup you are using. I have multiple EcoFlow systems, one at 24kwh, one 10.6 kwh, another at 12kwh, and another at 6kwh, but with room to grow two of them to be much bigger. I’m still working towards filling every port with solar and wiring up the house to accept...
  6. Say It Ain’t So: No Bright Launch R2 Colors? (The Inevitable)

    So my dreams of adding a Borealis R2 to my Borealis R1S might have to wait until they start adding special editions… At this point I might even be happy with a Red Canyon R2. I get it. When I toured the factory after trading in my Red Canyon for a Borealis, nearly every vehicle on the line was...
  7. Rival Tesla Model X to end production

    They really should have replaced the S and X with a proper SUV to give the R1S, Cadillac Escalade, Porsche Cayenne EV, and the Germans (Audi, BMW, Mercedes, VW) an option for Tesla fanboys. By completely dropping the S and X without a suitable large SUV, growing families who outgrow the 3 and Y...
  8. RAN charger gets NACS charging cord - spotted in Normal, IL

    Thanks for posting. Having just picked up my Borealis 2026 gen2 R1Sand not receiving the new combo adapter yet, I need to charge somewhere between home and Peoria. This single NACS would be perfect to avoid the stares from Tesla owners at a supercharger.
  9. Actual Tire Wear on Gen 2 DM Models

    I have 22 inch all seasons on my G2 R1S and have 19k miles so far. The Rivian service guy said to keep doing what I'm doing as my wear has been far less than many others he has rotated. I drive like a grandpa and rarely give it the beans. I was trying to make the car last for a long, long time...
  10. Has anyone gotten the 2025.46 Update yet? Please tell us your location and date you received.

    I actually had to turn off wifi and let it download via cellular because for some reason it was stuck paused with wifi. I could see the update in my update screen, just couldn't get it to process with downloading and installing. I'll need to mess with why the Rivian isn't happy with my wifi at...
  11. Has anyone gotten the 2025.46 Update yet? Please tell us your location and date you received.

    It was available a few days ago for me but I didn't have a chance to install it until yesterday. Monticello, IL and I paid the annual fee for Connect+ which apparently helps move you forward in the queue
  12. 12v replacement required on new gen2 R1T

    Last time I had mobile service the Rivian technician filled me in on the 12v issue, and they are different between Gen 1 and Gen 2. With Gen 1 the battery was too small so they had to modify the bracket and install a bigger one. For Gen 2 the high voltage to low voltage converter is much better...
  13. R2 has bidirectional V2L / V2H (vehicle-to-home) specification article

    I for one don’t see the need for this except for emergencies when power is out for extended periods of time. My Gen2 R1S is a huge consumer of energy in my household (mostly grid but I have 5200w of solar so far and 52.8 kWh of batteries not including the Rivianā€˜S batteries. In a dire emergency...
  14. LATEST UPDATE DISABLED DRIVER ASSIST, COLLISION DETECTION & BLIND SPOT LANE CHANGE DETECTION!

    My gen2 had a passenger front radar failure which required four swap outs to new parts until they figured out that there was a bad grommet letting dust and dirt into the harness, frying the radar. It could be anything, so let Rivian diagnose what’s going on and hope for the best.
