I added sound deadening material (dynamat) to the under side of the entire plastic cover where the AC compressor is housed. It reduced the noise significantly and reduced the vibration in the pedal and the whole front of the car. A very inexpensive fix with massive improvements. I even think the...

Anyone know how to check plane flight records to see if any planes owned by Apple ever flew to Normal, IL? This might help confirm some of the hype.

Side mirror cameras on the drivers screen. I am so use to looking at the camera in my kia telluride I do not want to use the mirrors or look anywhere but down at the camera now.

Update: Has been 4 days since service did a rebalance in the field. That day it did not seem to be a major improvement, but over the weekend I have noticed the AC blows cool consistently. Before it was shutting off, I think because of the over charge. I have also been putting up the sun visor in...

I got coolant corrected and still does no better when car starts hot. Just wont cool until its been in the garage or shade. It cannot cool inside cabin below 80 if its a hot day and it started out in a hot parking lot.

My thoughts exactly. We cannot all have coolant levels off. I think the compressor is just to small to handle to Texas heat. We are dying in ours down in San Antonio ever after they corrected the coolant levels.

I feel the exact same way. Love the car otherwise. But I cannot live in 85 degree cabin and neither can my 3 kids.

I have a laser temp gun I have been riding around with for over a week now. The R1S can get the vent temp into the high 40s if it's in the shade or not more than 90 degrees outside. However, if it's over 100, which it usually is in Texas summers. The vents do not get cold unless you are in a...

I think the issue is you are in a cooler climate zone and the AC system will work in that type of climate. If you live in the south the AC system is just not able to keep up. I have had it checked, tested, and rebalanced. Yet I still ride home from work every evening in an +80 degree vehicle for...

I want to trade this is now for a kia telluride. We have one and it blows cold AC in 2 mins no matter the 130 car temp. I love everything about my Rivian but I cannot live with no AC in Texas. In my opinion this is basically not AC.

While I agree with you about the overcharge/undercharge. They checked my R1S today and said it was 10% overcharged. They corrected that and now I think the AC blows even worse than before to be honest. I live in Texas and just like every said, it's just fine in the morning commute, but on the...

The tech came out and recharged/rebalanced my AC system in the field today. Still blew hot most of the way home in San Antonio. I really hope that the AC can be fixed with the small compressor in the R1S.
