@shmoony: It's been three weeks since your post. How about an update?

The EPA efficiency numbers are correct - they are just test results. Actual efficiency numbers won't match EPA because actual driving doesn't match EPA driving. We don't know how those vehicles in the Rivian Roamer data were driven, so there's no way to compare the two groups. Specifically...

The energy monitor thing sounds like a software glitch which would have been fixed with a reset.

We'll if I had to travel 2000 miles, and if I prioritized speed over everything else, I would fly. And beat you there. And have a couple of days of free time more than you when I get there. Point is, the equation changes drastically when your goal is something other than to get there as soon as...

That's what I use Alexa for currently ... So next week, No more music services through Alexa (like Amazon Music and my Plex server). The only way to play my music and other audio will be via (lower quality) Bluetooth from my phone. I have 256Gb total storage on my phone, but that's not nearly...

Isn't this why they make soft start devices for trailers? Startup current on a/c units is like 10 times the steady state draw. So chances are you're exceeding the R2 outlet rating by quite a bit.

A lot of the "batching" in early R1 production was because of the wheels and all the supply chain disruptions that affected them, not because of paint color. But yes it makes sense to do a bunch of the same color at the same time regardless, because that way there is less of a chance for...

Beat expectations again. I guess that means the stock price will go down again ...

Could it be a problem with LED trailer lights? See https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/r1s-gen2-wont-recognize-led-trailer-lights-service-center-says-software-fix-could-take-a-year.39808/ and similar threads.

So, what's the next step? Going from 400V to 800V will get you to AT BEST twice the charging speed, when all cars and all chargers support it. Does that solve the problem? I think all the people who complain about charging speed won't be satisfied until charging is just as fast as filling a...

Two and a half years ago, all the complaints were that the R1 didn't have a "real" glove box. So RJ went and surprised everyone when he unveiled the R2 by showing it had TWO glove boxes. Somehow it seemed inevitable that people would still find something to complain about. If they had a lock on...

Thanks, but this is well-known - they've been doing this from the beginning. Here's a video of RJ showing off the factory, from 2022. The part about the paint shop is at 2 minutes in, but the whole thing is worth a watch and is still pretty relevant.

It's a goal not a promise. Rivian is right in the middle of ramping production and moving this feature forward in response to demand. It could go faster or slower than they anticipated, but they are trying to give you some idea of the timeline. You can't place an order before it's available...

Here's another summary for those who don't want to watch the whole thing. My theory by A. Elk (Miss). This theory goes as follows and begins now: All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much, much thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end. That is my theory, it is mine, and...

I honestly don't understand comments like this. My air vents are perfectly aimed, and I never have to touch them. Ever. As in I set them once when I got the car four years ago and that's where they are still. That's hasn't been true of any other car I've ever owned. Especially the ones with...

OUTRAGEOUS! I could have charged from 0% - 100% in the time I saved by not watching that video.

There would have been outrage if this was on by default, because then Rivian would have been tracking your vehicle without your permission. We've demonized entire countries over the mere fear that they *might* do something like this. But you only had your R2 for a day, so you never got the...

What do you mean by "low ground clearance"? The R2 has one of the highest ground clearances of any stock vehicle, outside of "Rubicon" packages and vehicles like Jeeps which are designed primarily for off-road (with some on-road ability as a practical compromise :)). Likewise for articulation...

Yes. It will be in the app and downloadable and will stay in your service history in the app so you can always go back and see it. None of those greasy sheets of paper that you filed a year ago and now you can't find anymore.

Yes, there are privacy and data sharing setting in the vehicle. Sharing is opt-in, as it should be.
