  1. Rivian App latest version released for iOS and Android (Sep 3)

    `Events like triggered alarms or Pet Comfort issues can now use iOS critical alerts — so alerts that matter most reach you right away.` I've been getting critical alerts for several weeks now (on app version 3.15.1) - every time my wife's R1S's doors are open for more than a few mins my phone...
  2. Possibly the strangest R1 quirk I have had yet - inverted drive direction!

    I recall a couple of people reporting that their R1 has driven in the opposite direction from the selected gear, for example, moving forward while Reverse was selected. Well, it just happened to me. The drive direction did change to match the selected direction, but only after the truck had...
  3. Warning, this is a rant. I hate that they got rid of basic voice commands

    Apologies for the late reply. I wanted to go back and read the document again rather than respond from memory. Having done that, I don't think the scope is particularly difficult to follow. Section 1 is titled Applicability, and it defines what Rivian means by "Services" throughout the...
  4. Growing efficiency Gap: R2 w/ 21" vs. 20" tire sets

    About 3 weeks ago. Nail through edge of tire.
  5. Warning, this is a rant. I hate that they got rid of basic voice commands

    Sorry OP: When we bought our Rivians, we also, whether we realized it or not, effectively agreed to this: That sucks, but the bigger issue is that this business model is increasingly normal. Either regulators need to establish clearer ownership protections for software-defined products, or as...
  6. OS2 Arriving on R1 with 2026.31 OTA

    It would be nice to know this - I feel though that `OS` is probably not being used in the technical sense here, but its mostly a new UI (and perhaps android automotive version - which to be fair would count as a new infotainment OS), is there any details of any internal changes? Building on...
  7. Tire Mobility Kit (R2) - closer look photos

    Wonder what the rivian markup is: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09W2Y1XGQ
  8. Odd Marketing : R2 as make-up ?

    They must surely have one for @Count Orlok though?! I never thought I’d come to realise that perhaps Rivian needs moar shades of grey…
  9. Can only VENT windows in Rivian app (R1T)

    THIS! My day job for the last 10 years (at least) has involved looking after deployed fleets of critical infrastructure larger than Rivian's, both in number of units and (public facing) variation across the fleet, and it constantly amazes me how much divergence in experience Rivian manages to...
  10. My son used the R2 emergency door handle release for the first time yesterday.

    I’d not be so sure. Our gen2 R1 often goes to sleep when unlocked - and takes a couple of sends to wake back up again to let the door open, it’s annoying but totally livable for us - for a six year old however 1 second can feel like 5 years… 🤣 Im not that worried about the interior situation -...
  11. The GOAT of Rivian R2 reviews IS COMING!

    Piling on here - just wait until folks cry in the middle of winter that their addressable capacity is less than advertised 🤣 . Our R1's max pack fluctuates between around 143kWh and ~125kWh depending on the conditions.
  12. What technique do you use to charge 2 EVs

    Our house is on a 200A supply: We have a pair of Wallbox pulsars, and a powermeter that ensures the total load in the home doesnt go about 180A. As we charge off peak, most of the time our chargers are both running at 48A each (they are on separate 60A circuits) - but they dip down if the Dryer...
  13. Great Truck - Unrealistic to Maintain

    some back of the envelope (gpu?) maff for thought: Year Warranties issued Deliveries Accrual per delivery 2023 $233 million 50,122 $4,649 2024 $261 million 51,579 $5,060 2025 $184 million 42,247 $4,355 Additionally Rivian in 2021 estimated that each vehicle would bring in $3.5K...
  14. Subtle but consistent cabin noise in R2?

    Not sure if present in R2: the R1 the Fan over the cabin temperature sensor in the steering column sometimes makes a bit of noise, and there have been a few cases of bad bearings etc that have been replaced.
