  1. Common Myths About CarPlay

    The quixotic quest for Carplay continues. :)
  2. Common Myths About CarPlay

    My guess is that Rivian has no desire to cede screen real estate to a third party and want to own the interface.
  3. Common Myths About CarPlay

    Buy a Porsche. VW UI is crap, so Carplay is really needed there.
  4. Common Myths About CarPlay

    Car has all the apps one needs while driving. And even if it didn't, Carplay isn't happening. So none of this matters. This obsession with Carplay is just silly.
  5. Common Myths About CarPlay

    The AI based texting is pretty good. Carplay is really for GM/Ford vehicles. :)
  6. Common Myths About CarPlay

    Regardless of how one feels about the infotainment, which is infinitely better than anyone else other than Tesla, Carplay is not happening.
  7. Common Myths About CarPlay

    Either way, this sure seems like barking up the wrong tree. Carplay/AA are band aids to bad infotainment from legacy automakers. Rivian has made clear that they plan on owning the screen space and keep developing the software. If that's an issue, one can always buy from another brand.
  8. Self driving update: Gen 2 and Gen 3 Autonomy on R2 should be similar for a "couple of years"

    Gen2 ADAS is really good right now. Handled drive through the mountains flawlessly.
  9. Questions for people who have switched from Tesla to Rivian [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / NO ELON DISCUSSIONS]

    I almost never used FSD, so not a big loss for me. The gen2 ADAS is like the old enhanced autopilot. Rivian software is great but a step behind Tesla but still very user friendly. Only thing I miss is access to v2 superchargers as it makes road tripping easier in some weird corner cases. With...
  10. 20" Inch Goodyear Territory AT 275/60/20 Factory AT tires + saving $

    I am no tire expert but I would get new ones. Having a tire blow out on the freeway sucks.
  11. 2026 R1S Dual Max - 9 month efficiency

    After six months on the Goodyear tires, we are at 2.2, but we live in the mountains
  12. When will R1 get Gen 3 hardware?

    Better cooling needs to apply electronics, battery and motors. Yardstick should be the new Cayenne. 400KW sustained charging to achieve 15mns 10-80 is the new benchmark. That's what should be expected from a luxury SUV in 3-4 years when gen3 should be released
  13. When will R1 get Gen 3 hardware?

    Absolutely. Gen3 needs power dense cells, 800V, much improved thermals and Lidar/RAP
  14. When will R1 get Gen 3 hardware?

    Faster charging speed and thermals would be great.
  15. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    Tesla is quickly turning into the Toyota equivalent of EVs. Mostly curious about the software UI for BMW and Volvo.
  16. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    It's really $70k+ for a decently equipped car. As expected.
  17. Number count of Rivian Service Centers, RAN Charging Stations, Chargers, Spaces (as of Q1 2026 / April 2026)

    Used the RAN chargers quite a bit for the first 15 months while they were free. Now, not so much
