  1. Newly placed orders now expected to begin shipping in 2024

    All in good time, my good friend. All in good time!:like:

  2. Newly placed orders now expected to begin shipping in 2024

    I ordered my R1S in November 2022 and the current estimate is a bland 2024! I can't quite imagine why a new order today would have the same delivery time. Do they not follow the proverbial "Q"? I am glad for the delay though because is opened up other options. I placed the deposit for the Volvo...

  3. Volvo EX90 could be worthy competitor to R1S

    All we have at the moment is the concept. The EX90 goes into production only in Fall 2023. However, the specs are wonderful; it is a Volvo; is serviced by a local dealership; has Apple CarPlay built in; and has a fast charger capable of charging the vehicle from 10 - 80 percent in 30 minutes...

  4. OMG! Meridian audio system is amazing (EQ Share)

    I love Austin Powers too!

  5. Accessories - Floor console organizer / Tesla Charger Adapter / Phone Mount / Bed Mat / Etc.

    This is nice, but there is actually a simpler alternative. See https://www.shopmoment.com/products/wall-mount-for-magsafe/standard#featureCallouts-6-slide-2 Peak Design is fantastic, but on balance, I find the magnets on the Moment to be stronger, and the adhesive that secures the magnetic...

  6. HiRes Audio and Sources

    There is as yet no Apple Music App native. The way it works is that you fire up Apple Music or Tidal or any such on your phone, and use the commands there, say Siri, to get the phone to play the songs you want. If the phone is synced via BT with the Rivian, the music plays via the BT interface...

  7. HiRes Audio and Sources

    That is perfectly fine, but there are a lot of us who not only love CP/AA, but feel that it is a backward step for a new design without it or something equivalent. At the Venice hub, when I pointed out, their initial reaction was that the features I requested can be emulated. When I requested...

    True. Let's hope the software teams get their act together. It is a fantastic vehicle in every other respect.

  9. HiRes Audio and Sources

    As promised, here is an update after visiting the Rivian Hub in Venice, CA. We spent the better part of the morning there. I asked about the BT codec, and alas, no one knew anything about the audio system. They did however allow me to pair the car via BT. I could not get it to work, but they...

    There have been others before, such as SONY's LDAC. See https://www.sony.net/Products/LDAC/ All good.

  11. HiRes Audio and Sources

    A quick update after chatting with a Rivian rep. Here is what they said: For your questions - the USB connection port cannot be used to stream music/video. You can connect your phone or device via Bluetooth. We're working on adding additional apps but, for now, Spotify, TuneIn and Alexa-powered...

  12. HiRes Audio and Sources

    @mkg3 -- You might well be right. The team that built the hardware would no doubt have known about the decision to restrict sources to lossless BT, if indeed such a decision had been made, and rigged the system to ensure an optimal result given the constraints. And yet, I can't help wonder why...

  13. How are phone calls and texts handled?

    Absolutely one can, on most modern cars. The talk button integrated into both my cars allow this.

  14. HiRes Audio and Sources

    @mgc0216 -- There is no true answer to this question as perception is by definition subjective. But can one pick up some of the microphonics that enhances the experience of music? I would imagine so, provided a) that the source is good (hence the need for hi-res files) and b) the reproducing...

  15. R1T vs R1S speakers & audio systems compared (from Meridian site)

    This is not difficult to do. All one needs is a good mike such as the ones you mention. There is free software out there and some really good tutorials on the web. But I'd have thought that Meridian would have done this. To me, the bigger question is the absence thus far of hi-res music sources...

  16. HiRes Audio and Sources

    @svet-am -- interesting. What puzzles me is the following. The marketing of the R1s is all about adventure. Being outdoors and such. Surely then, one could well be stuck in a place beyond cell phone reach and therefore, be unable to stream. Also, one might wish to bring one’s own music...

  17. HiRes Audio and Sources

    Sir, Out of curiosity, did you contact Rivian directly about this and leave a complaint? It will be useful to learn before I contact them tomorrow. I wonder about the implementation though. I would imagine that the USB data ought to be fed to the DAC in the onboard infotainment unit for this to...

  18. HiRes Audio and Sources

    Thank you all for your thoughtful and useful remarks. I will now do my part, contact Rivian, and second all your previous requests. The USB solution is critical, and the apps can follow.

  19. HiRes Audio and Sources

    Whilst waiting in the long line for the R1S, I wondered whether any of you who have already taken delivery of either the T or the S could you please answer the following questions about the audio system. a) Is the existing USB data port capable of being used as an audio input from an external...
