As I suggested: guards preventing accidental operation would probably allow traditional operation and also satisfy the regulation.

Yes, it is the definition of backwards: down=up and up=down. The first 2 lines in my original post were, “I tried searching, and didn’t see any discussion about this. Please point me to a different thread if already discussed.” If you can point me to the other thread(s) I’d appreciate it.

It’s hard not to when every interior power window switch I’ve ever seen (hydraulic or electrical) operated in the intuitive fashion: move switch up to make window move up and move switch down to make window move down. Yes, you can learn that it’s different on the overhead switches but that...

Yes, backwards. Literally: up=down and down=up. Regardless of the rationale, don’t try to gaslight. I’d like to see the wording that applies this to overhead switches. Assuming it still applies, that rationale makes sense but there are ways around it. Rivian could've added guards to prevent any...

I tried searching, and didn’t see any discussion about this. Please point me to a different thread if already discussed. What is the rationale for the overhead window switches, which control the rear window, operating opposite all other window switches in the vehicle, and possibly any vehicle...

No UHF on Gen1 from Rivian. However, the Comma AI can be added to Gen1 to get the same utility, and possibly more. Use the forum search tool for comma ai in titles only and you’ll find a lot of info.

Life has been really busy and I haven’t posted in a while. I just wanted to take a moment to say that I’m still really enjoying our Rivian. For the record: I’m not a fanboy and I have no problem discussing the shortcomings. However, over 3 years now our Gen1 Launch Edition R1S and then Gen2...

Even if he knows nothing about competitors’ products, he knows that "take over every single pixel" claim is not true because of their work with VW. To me, if you have to lie to try to win an argument then you’ve lost the argument. I wrote before that if Tesla really implements screen...

Here’s a shot of an R2 we saw earlier today in Laguna Hills. First one I’ve seen without a camouflage wrap on the road and it’s sporting California temporary tags.

I’m pretty sure the R3(X) shares enough with the R2 front end that the costs would prevent any significant modifications.

Same here and I’m on the iOS app. My watch is working fine and I always have the card key as the last resort.

First, I think we agree that software defined vehicles (or just software defined infotainment) is not the negative that @mkg3 was making it out to be in comparison to vehicles which are NOT software defined infotainment any way. Also, I may have been too subtle with this part in bold: Can...

If this is your yardstick for useful life then a typical software defined EV lasts longer than a typical hardware defined ICEV. I haven’t purchased an ICEV since 2017, but my experience is that: A typical hardware defined ICEV will NEVER be able to do things that a newer model YEAR has added...

We got our Gen2 in May of 2025 and we’ve never gotten flashed by drivers or noticed by pedestrians. In fact, we’ve had the opposite problem where the system is too conservative on dark dirt roads. It seems to identify trees, low signs, and other items as vehicles or pedestrians and then carves...

tl;dr When there is not an ‘A‘ in the headlight icon, pushing the stalk switches between low beam and full always-on high beam. When there is an ‘A’ in the headlight icon, pushing the stalk switches between low beam and adaptive high beam. We were experimenting with this after my husband...
