  1. Mark Rober teases R2 modification

  2. What’s Coming in Rivian’s 2026.15.30 Hotfix

    Hotfixes address specific known issues/problems/bugs. Updates more broadly add new or revise existing functionality. This fits the definition of a hotfix, not an update.
  3. Why is the R1S so cramped?

    "they could have had it all". Producing a larger vehicle that would never sell in quantities to be profitable is not "having it all". It's highly likely that they did market research to arrive at the proper size for the R1S. Yes, it handles the Rubicon but that's not why they chose the size...
  4. The Verge - "Kia’s flagship EV has a battery problem - The EV9 has a big battery that’s proving to be unreliable."

    The Verge Full Article The story is written by a UK owner Excerpts: I reported the problem to Kia and my local dealer wasn’t able to initially replicate it until I was able to record the issue on my phone while charging on a fast DC charger. The car would drop to a 0kW charge rate at 82...
  5. Wire Harness found behind hitch cap

    So true. 3D printing forums/groups are particularly bad. A noob posts a question they could have easily found a gazillion discussions about ("Should I use Glue Stick?") and then a free for all of criticism, bad advice and counterpoint posts follows. I rarely visit or post in 3D forums anymore.
  6. Wire Harness found behind hitch cap

    It's in the owners manual and tow operators manual:
  7. Ferrari Luce?????

    I suspect the BMW i8 was part of their design inspiration. But BMW got it right, Luce - not so much.
  8. Collision detection (sitting in the garage)

    As mentioned above, it's most likely a bad sensor and not a wiring fault. I can't speak for Rivian, but most crash sensors have power, ground and and a digital output signal that indicates when a crash occurs. If the wiring was bad, it should indicate a fault, not a crash.
  9. Rivian Assistant Conspiracy

    Also Arnold Schwarzenegger and Clint Eastwood.
  10. What Are You Hauling (or Hauled) in your Rivian? 🦾

    When I was a teen and in college, I worked a summer job in construction, and I've done home woodworking projects most of my life so I was pretty comfortable with the window replacement, and the previous trim work style made it super easy to remove the trim and old windows. I got reconstruction...
  11. What Are You Hauling (or Hauled) in your Rivian? 🦾

    Rented a towable boom lift from Sunbelt to replace some windows at my vacation home.
  12. What’s Coming in 2026.15 Update, Including Rivian Assistant

    It does some physical control. I tried "Open Liftgate" today. RA responded to verify the request. I forget exactly what it said, but it was something like "Please confirm you want to open the liftgate" . I said yes, and it opened. It also closes with no verification request.
