No point linking to the article because it is behind a paywall, but I was happy to see the author's praise for Rivian as the first American mfg to implement adaptive headlights that comply with NHTSA regulations. Driving in America Is Headlight Hell Car bulbs don’t have to be this blinding. By...

I missed the reference. Can you give us a timestamp for Rivian comment?

Is the old contract on the internet archives? I don't have any stake in this so I'm too lazy to check

Nobody likes to be taxed and I agree this does sound excessive - I think it should be lower across the board or it should come in conjunction with higher gas taxes. In their defense EVs are heavier vehicles which put more wear and tear on roads. But unlike the gas tax, this one charges us...

I'm glad someone finally started this thread. The lack of a satellite antenna has been bugging me since I got my R1T in November. Sure, it's not the best sound quality but it offers a service that's very valuable to me. Sometimes I listen to Spotify when I want to choose my own music but...

I'd for it love to control passenger seat position. Lower it when my wife is getting into the car or pull it forward and tilt the back forward when I want to load something behind it. I hate leaning across the seat to reach those bittons. Sadly, I suspect those controls are locally isolated...

That sounds nice, but more than that, I'd like a driver's screen odometer.

More like good riddance Alexa. I hope Rivian assistant is half as good as they promise, it will still be orders of magnitude better than Alexa

When I clicked on the link for Palo Alto in the OPs message it took me to a page with links to RSVP for each of the three individual days. I just tried the link again and it is still accepting RSVPs for all days.

Thanks, I was only looking at the rsvp page. I didn't notice there was better information on the invitation.

I was excited to see that there was finally an R2 event in the Bay area (Palo Alto) but alas when I clicked on the link I realized it is actually in Denver : ( I don't understand why they're not doing one in their hometown.

“Once we secure the impacted area, we anticipate resuming operations in Building 2 (specifically for R2) this week,” spokesperson Marina Hoffmann said in an email, adding that operations at other facilities continue as planned...

Seems to me that is exactly the reason why we should include the full sized spare. If we ever need to use it then it should have comparable tread depth to the rest of the tires. I think I'll follow @babock 's advice and rotate them myself more often to ensure the tread depth doesn't get too...

Interesting that they specify "do not include the full-size spare in the rotation ". Does anyone have thoughts on why that would be?

I'll be interested to hear what the service center says. When I brought up the issue of squeaky door handles they said, "this is common on new vehicles and it will go away on its own.". They were partly right. It disappeared for a few weeks and then came back worse than ever. Thanks @shracks...

I had a pimple on my passenger door when I bought my truck and the service center was able to get it out with pointless dent removal. I was amazed with the results. I couldn't find any sign of it when they were done However, my pimple may lot have been as large as yours (I could only capture...

I generally try to avoid saying anything that sounds like "Alexa" when I'm in the car. I'm really hoping Rivian AI gives us a better experience. I've owned my R1T since November and Alexa has never been able to make calls for me. I connected it to my Amazon account when I first bought it and...

I'm planning to let the free trial lapse and see if I miss it. I've been using it very happily on highways but if all I lose is lane changing then I probably won't care. When I'm not on the freeway I'm in the city or windy back roads and it doesn't work in either of those places and I probably...

Unfortunately Satellite angle has nothing to do with it. One of my biggest pet peeves with my Rivian is their decision to forgo satellite radio in favor of SiriusXM internet streaming. Sure we get more stations, but for a company that puts so much emphasis on their adventure capabilities and...

Ah, got it - an interference pattern between the flicker frequency of the LEDs and the frame rate of the camera. That makes sense. I just hadn't ever seen it before in previous night drives. It was fun that the frequency almost matched the music. Thanks for the response.
