  1. Real World 70 MPH Test Might not be so real world?

    Hey, I’ll add some info that a friend of mine pointed out after looking at my data re: battery temps. There was a slight uphill section during the time when the battery temps climbed which may have caused the cooling to kick in aggressively. It wasn’t a steep grade or anything but it may have...

  2. R2 vs Model Y 70-MPH Highway Range Test (by Out of Spec)

    I know this has been beat to death but I did do my own range test for my own curiosity. - For anyone who doesn't want to watch, the summary is: ~230 miles estimated (I stopped at 1% SoC with 222 miles completed, didn't want to push due to weather) - 20" All Terrains - Just over 1000 miles on...

  3. R2 Pet Mode Concerns From Owner's Test

    With all my other issues it is seeming that way!

  4. R2 Pet Mode Concerns From Owner's Test

    Good info, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen my car cabin sensor read in the 60s a single time. Just curious if you start the test from the upper 70s outside rather than a completely pre cooled vehicle do you notice the A/C struggle? Also do you notice any differences between starting from auto low...

  5. R2 Towed 24 hours In (after charging issues at Tesla Supercharger)

    Hey really sorry to hear that, curious to hear your follow up. There’s a certain comfort in knowing there are others with the same problems, luckily for me at least I never got stranded between chargers or smelled any burning. Rivian needs to act fast to understand and isolate these issues...

  6. R2 teething/early issues -- Talk about your post-delivery concerns or headaches

    Thank you, I truly believe these sort of issues aren’t common. I haven’t heard anything back from them yet (they just got the car this morning, and it is Saturday… so probably Monday at the earliest) but I expect them to take their learnings and use it to help identify potential problems in...

  7. R2 teething/early issues -- Talk about your post-delivery concerns or headaches

    Definitely feels that way. I was the lucky first R2 to be serviced at my center, so probably a lot of learnings to come.

  8. R2 teething/early issues -- Talk about your post-delivery concerns or headaches

    Mine is being flatbedded to service later this morning. When I have the energy/desire to do a full write up or video I will. The car hasn’t been rendered immobile so theoretically I could keep driving it, it’s just been exhibiting some very weird and unsettling behavior since getting it back...

  9. R2 Haptic Halo Wheels Demo & Owner Experience

    I'll watch your videos! I want to see the king of charisma show us how it is done.

  10. R2 Haptic Halo Wheels Demo & Owner Experience

    A lot easier to talk shit online than post videos for people to get info they care about. Thanks for watching!

  11. R2 Pet Mode Concerns From Owner's Test

    Just curious, what was the external temp and what did you have pet mode set to?

  12. R2 Pet Mode Concerns From Owner's Test

    If you turn your set temp to LO does it cool the cabin and blow cold? I feel like mine is super cold so it feels like less an HVAC system issue and more temp sensor or software based. Like the set temps don’t produce the desired result. Will be curious to hear what service finds.

  13. R2 Pet Mode Concerns From Owner's Test

    Sounds similar to my car, I’m in for Wednesday service as well.

  14. R2 Pet Mode Concerns From Owner's Test

    I’m sorry this happened in real world usage and not just to some bald guy sitting in his driveway in the car like mine did - Rivian needs to address this asap. I believe Wassym is aware but I haven’t heard anything yet.

  15. R2 Horn - WTF?

    I actually just did a comparison if anyone wants to hear them side by side. (R2 and R1) The R2 horn sounds quite loud in person, you can tell it’s a little different than a traditional horn but I like it a lot more than the puny R1 horn, which I think almost rises to the level of cruel joke on...
