Oh this problem is SUPER annoying. There's some sort of logic behind picking heating vs cooling, but it has zero pattern I can figure out. My Rivian tends to pick heated seat more often than cooled, sometimes even when super hot inside and out (100F+).
First hot summer with my gen 1 R1S and I've been disappointed by the A/C performance. My 10 year old 4runner was much better. Not sure I'd attribute it to the latest update though. It takes 15+ minutes of driving with max A/C to cool down the interior after sitting in 90F weather for the day...
Press the icon at the top of the volume control on the center display. This will bring up controls for the different audio sources that you can independently control, one being phone volume.
Sadly not this one. I just tried this evening.
It seems to be an intentional new behavior, but not a great design. When navigating somewhere and approaching a turn (maybe 1000ft out? don't quote on that), the map on driver and center display switches to 2D and zooms so you can only see 300ft...
Yeah, same here. Very hard to use the center display for turn-by-turn navigation when it's so zoomed in. A number of people have noticed and complained about it on Reddit:
I wonder how the driver display looks, I typically have my music there, but maybe showing turn-by-turn directions there...
Hey @RWerksman , will your updated models be uploaded to your Printables account?
Thank you and Kelvn for the work you've done on this. I'm looking forwards to being able to sleep in the back of my R1S without sliding down to one end.
Butter. Not kidding. It does a great job of taking sap off your hands too. Not so well with clothing, because now you have a oil stain instead of sap...
What year/spec R1T is this from? I've never noticed battery temperature exposed anywhere...only cabin temperature ?
EDIT: Looks like maybe this is a ABRP exclusive integration, and/or only visible when the vehicle is "running".
Battery capacity values returned from the Rivian API that is reported by ElectraFi and ABRP are highly temperature dependent as of the last 4 months of so. Mine fluctuates between 120 and 130kWh. If we're sharing these numbers, it's probably best to check with a warm battery, right after an...
I hope the R3 has battery shielding like the R1! The Ioniq 5 is amazing car, and road trip vehicle because it's super fast charging, but I'm afraid to take mine on anything more "off road" than mild gravel. There's been a few stories of impacted battery compartments leading to very expensive...
Oh, that reminds me of another fun bug/behavior: I have PaaK proximity unlock disabled at home, so pull out my phone to manually unlock. If you first enable climate from the app, the lock/unlock buttons become grayed out...sometimes for a surprisingly long time (like 5 min). So I ended up...
That's certainly not always the case. My R1S sometimes randomly decides to blow cold air at me. Turning things on/off seems to fix the issues.
I've also had vents randomly stop responding until the HVAC is restarted.
Please Rivian, focus on fixing these software bugs...
Sounds like a very similar suspension setup to Rivian: no swaybar with hydraulic interlink. Land Rover makes similar claims about the range of capabilities from being good both on road and off road.

There's a few threads on this, here and on Reddit, and I'm not sure we've gotten an official response from Rivian, but it seems that the last update has changed the algorithm for calculating the battery capacity to take temperature into account. The metric is visible in ElectraFi and Home...
With your proximity to the US border, you should consider shipping to WA and picking up/importing yourself. You'll likely have to pay tax + duty when crossing the border on the return, but at least you won't be ripped off by UPS and their extra fees. As a bonus, there's often free shipping...
I ended up test-fitting the rack at a local bike shop with my mountain bike and it worked great! Handlebars on my large 29er easily clear the roof.
My only complaint is with Rivian's software disabling a bunch of feature when anything is plugged into the trailer plug. This includes blind spot...
