Good info, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen my car cabin sensor read in the 60s a single time.
Just curious if you start the test from the upper 70s outside rather than a completely pre cooled vehicle do you notice the A/C struggle? Also do you notice any differences between starting from auto low...
Hey really sorry to hear that, curious to hear your follow up. There’s a certain comfort in knowing there are others with the same problems, luckily for me at least I never got stranded between chargers or smelled any burning. Rivian needs to act fast to understand and isolate these issues...
Thank you, I truly believe these sort of issues aren’t common. I haven’t heard anything back from them yet (they just got the car this morning, and it is Saturday… so probably Monday at the earliest) but I expect them to take their learnings and use it to help identify potential problems in...
Mine is being flatbedded to service later this morning. When I have the energy/desire to do a full write up or video I will. The car hasn’t been rendered immobile so theoretically I could keep driving it, it’s just been exhibiting some very weird and unsettling behavior since getting it back...
If you turn your set temp to LO does it cool the cabin and blow cold? I feel like mine is super cold so it feels like less an HVAC system issue and more temp sensor or software based. Like the set temps don’t produce the desired result. Will be curious to hear what service finds.
I’m sorry this happened in real world usage and not just to some bald guy sitting in his driveway in the car like mine did - Rivian needs to address this asap. I believe Wassym is aware but I haven’t heard anything yet.
I actually just did a comparison if anyone wants to hear them side by side. (R2 and R1)
The R2 horn sounds quite loud in person, you can tell it’s a little different than a traditional horn but I like it a lot more than the puny R1 horn, which I think almost rises to the level of cruel joke on...
You know this is a good question. I’ve used it a few times to have the car be somewhat cool when I entered and I haven’t had any complaints necessarily, but haven’t paid close attention to the behavior.
Out of curiosity I just ran it a bit with my car parked inside the garage, which is probably...
Unfortunately I didn’t do a great job of representing the issues in my first video. I sort of shot from the hip and understandably received some push back from people. I reshot an unedited video today to showcase the current state of R2 pet mode and how it is mostly unacceptable from a climate...
Well the issue is really that the R2 doesn’t blow high at all unless you start it by having your auto fan speed set to high beforehand, at least based on my couple hours of testing. It doesn’t seem to concern itself with the temperature delta at all.
In my R1 it blows very aggressively to get to the set temp, and tones it down as it hovers around the temp, sometimes it overshoots and the actual cabin temp ends up staying lower than the set temp (except in extreme outside temps).
That’s all I really ask of the R2 to do too, it works great in...
