  1. Unlocking the car at home is maddening

    I experience this problem, too. I often find myself in remote areas with minimal cell signal. My theory is that rivian programmed the phone app to go through their servers, first, and if that fails, to use Bluetooth. However, online failure mode might suffer from a race condition, in that it...
  2. Cow Van: Ben & Jerrys Rivian Ice Cream Vans Unveiled [Video Added]

    Tennessee has a well-distributed network of waypoint chargers, too.
  7. Can we stop asking for CarPlay now? "The next generation of Apple CarPlay will take over all of the screens, sensors and gauges in a car..."

    I would like rivian to publish an open api. There is information I would like to see that isn't on any screens. An api would allow developers to improve the rivian experience without rivian paying those developers. This would save money in the short run and increase the value of the platform in...
