I am thinking twice about getting the alignment done. I don't have a problem right now, car does not drift, steering straight etc. I have just followed the rule that new tires should go with an alignment check to maximize the tire life. But at $350 for this service, the ROI is negative when the...
Since the new update (2025.14.01), I am unable to start the vehicle (Gen1 R1S Quad) when I get in with my phone. I am always having to use the key card. I think this is the case when the vehicle wakes up from sleep mode because sometimes, the PAAK is recognized fine during the day when I am...
We have the BestEVMod shades (https://www.amazon.com/BestEvMod-Compatible-Rivian-R1S-Accessories/dp/B0CQZH7MQ2?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1) and they work well.
Folks,
Recently (since the last software update), I'm having frequent issues with the key fob and phone (pixel 9). Car unlocks fine when approaching but it won't allow driving saying that it cannot find the key. I have to use the key card to start driving. On other occasions, when the key fob...
I need to get new tires for my R1S. Costco is my usual go-to but they don't have the 22" HL Michelin Defender LTX M/S and will not install the XL which is what I want. I can buy the XL variant from tirerack but could use recommendation on where to go to get the tires installed. Looking for a...
Happy New Year everyone! For those that are looking for new 22" tires , have you been able to find the 116H rated version of the Michelin Defenders?
I can find the LTX M/S2 275/50/22 115H, but none of the usual places I use (Costco, Mr. Tire) are OK installing that given that my R1S says it...
Definitely play the 'dolby Atmos speaker test' track. You should hear every speaker separately. When I did this, I could only hear the front left and center. I did a soft reboot and voila, all speakers are working and Atmos (for the properly mixed songs) sounds great!
Hallelujah! Soft reset did the trick. Atmos is now MUCH better.
I was about to give up on Atmos but followed the tip on this thread.
1. Search for the 'dolby Atmos speaker test'
2. When I played it, only the left front speaker and center produced any audio. Everything else was silent
3. Did a...
Any suggestions of which specific track we should use as the baseline to compare? ie - can you give me an example of an atmos track that is mixed well? I seem to be a pro at finding the ones that are mixed terribly :)
Same here - 2023 R1S Gen1 Elevation sounds pretty bad for dolby Atmos audio. The non-Atmos is louder (I used to have volume at 10-11, now I am using 4-5) and I think it sounds better.
I was so excited about Atmos that I got Apple music expecting the "spatial" channels to be awesome...

works great for me. The color matches my OC interior. Absolute game changer. I would try something like this before tinting or plywood (leave that for hurricanes)
In this day and age, software is just as important as hardware. I think R2 will have an edge there for a while. I just don't see the VW/Porsche pushing this area as much as the new EV makers are doing.
I'm sure the macan will drive great and sell well. But the tech savvy buyers will likely...
I like the entry, adventure, premium trim lineup. One for the cost conscious, one that is similar to what we have today (with a few corners cut) and one for the more luxury oriented with updated audio, massaging seats, body color trim etc. Good step in the path to profitability
I do hope the QM...
The new "soft" ride is definitely "different". My R1S feels much smoother now in that mode and road imperfections are less noticable. However, it feels like potholes or bigger bumps unsettle the R1S more in this mode. I get the feeling that I will use soft on highways and stick to the medium...
Thanks. Let me give this 'move forward before reverse' technique a try. The last few days have been moisture free and the noise has not been as severe, so definitely moisture factors into this.
Talk about timing :). I just posted asking about the same thing, but in my case, its mainly when I start the drive and seems to be OK later. The "clunk" feels like the parking brakes are disengaging but I am also coming off Hold. I wonder if the new SW update has something to do with this? I...
