On dual motor vehicles Rivian forced auto ride-height to re-enable itself after being parked for more than 4 hours. So that meant that anyone who parked in low or lowest in some low-clearance space would be put into standard height when they came back and put it into drive and so on. A gen 1...

To answer the question directly, no I'm not pissed that it gets software updates. I'm annoyed that something that has worked through the entire history of software updates was changed without any apparent reason and now does not work. This isn't the first time. The crux of it lies in the fact...

If you're angling to be a smartass here, you should probably check whether or not it was working without LOCATION BASED SERVICES as of last week. It has in fact been working for years and the last update stopped that from working and that's rather the basis of the complaint. A better question...

I can't say I mind disagreements. That said I probably be reprociprically dismissive of anyone who calls it meritless because that's easy when it's not your problem. A feature I used since day one of ownership was disabled without any notice or explanation, I can't do anything about it and...

I have a bit of a mixed history of satisfaction with Rivian software updates and it's less about bugs and more about things they intentionally fuss with that aren't in the patch notes. The reason I don't like it is because you only find out about it after you pass the point of no return, because...

One thing I will mention is during my first month of ownership my efficiency was trash and it took a while to get anywhere close to EPA ratings despite being in warm weather. I believe the Pirellis actually have a break-in period with high rolling resistance until they wear a bit. Second was...

Seems like something's amiss. I can get 2.4 going 65 in a dual large. Driving 30-40 usually lands me around 3.7. Headwinds and road surface can have some surprising impacts, but you'd have to be driving into a 30mph+ headwind to get your efficiency hit like that. Hard to say exactly what...

I don't suppose you have a way to measure the charger input or see a history? If we can map a change in the number of electrons that would be fairly conclusive.

I don't suppose there's any info on the actual battery sizes? Based on dimensions an R2 has about 85% the frontal area of an R1 and is going to be lighter. We'd have to make some guesstimates about weight since it doesn't seem to be readily available, but since it's about 93% the length of an...

I feel like I'm the only person that doesn't use the app and kinda resent it being the primary way people are supposed to interface with things. Every time I am forced to deal with it for service I also get nagged about the PAAK I don't use. I don't trust it for something so critical...

My experience has been a bit bumpy with service issues, but ultimately they got handled and the reason I bought mine hasn't changed. I...uh. I don't actually care overly much about the offroad part of the branding. I sought out and bought my R1T for what it was compared to its conventional...

Well uh, I'd...also have to suggest the Realwheels EV ones. I bought a set of the brushed stainless ones myself after crawling the options. While they do have a painted one, if you want something that's not black I'm not sure anyone else offers a metal finish option. I am the sort of person who...

Before you go about cutting stuff, loosen the screws holding the plastic panel on and knock it a few times to shift it over or see if you can push the jack puck straight and then tighten the screws. There's some play in it. You don't even need to get the hole centered, just get enough clearance...

Comparing the suspension with more typical on-pavement vehicles is probably a bit of a disservice. It's not necessarily a build quality problem but an engineering compromise. Rivian designers chose a harsher duty cycle that limited their ability to tune it for on-road cloudiness. From talking...

I'm struggling a bit here, on two things. First, are there people who are really surprised by this? The collection of foreign manufacturers who opened factories in China to access the market there trained a large swath of local workers how they build cars and consequently how each brand...

I don't suppose you have your suspension set to soft? I recently learned that Rivian suspensions on soft can bottom out when going over deep bumps, causing an audible thunk and sometimes an impact felt through the floor. It also happens during rebound if it hits max extend. I figured I had a...

If there'd been an option to just not have any of the self-driving stuff I would've taken it. Adaptive cruise is about the limit of my trust at the moment. My only engagements with driver+ is accidentally turning it on by hitting the shifter while turning and that's actually worse than not...

Personally I get the impression that there won't be too many concessions to people who paid the full 5k if Rivian's own research into it concludes with the common opinion here that it's not actually worth it at that price. The thought of sales people saying it would be more expensive later to...

I've been watching the development wondering why they've delayed it so long. I have some difficulty believing that it's a technical issue. Is it the sinister forces of marketing at work once again? I'm kinda hoping that there's something else going on in the background and they're trying to...

Honestly when I did my first rotation I just pulled the spare out and did a 5 wheel rotation, only ever lifting one tire at a time. A jackstand for safety can still go under the vehicle in the event of a jack failure, but in theory it wouldn't load a not-jack-point area unless you actually had a...
