I must've gotten a gem (HVAC humor)...

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

I know everyone loves a good complaint about Rivian heating efficiency (or lack thereof). Mine has always been great (hopefully I don't jinx it by posting this). It's been cold and snowing where I am the past few weeks, and my wife (who is perpetually cold) actually complained recently because it was too hot.

So there you go - wife approved! ?

I second that. It was in the 20s last week and it got too hot in the car. I've started driving in my shorts now (j/k).

How do we know this “wife” is even real??

My heat works well in my current Rivian and it did in my previous one. I find myself using the cooled seat more than heat as a general rule.

Only had mine this fall and winter. Okay so far. We’ll see how the summer goes

I do too, though it’s really just ventilated rather than actively cooled - I sometimes wish it could do both and act as a fan heater for your back

I tested the heat pump in my new Gen 2 R1S by cold soaking it in 0° F weather for 7 hours. Car performed really well! I was expecting it to struggle.

We live in Northern California and it only gets to the low 30's on occasion. Our R1T (Gen1) heats up prefect. My wife is part human and part snow woman....she is always cold. She turns the passenger side up to close to the surface of the sun temperature.

Are there any that are? Normal that is. (spoken like a bachelor)
