  1. Winter questions

    Snow mode is just low regen. That’s it. You can tinker with height, but otherwise, it’s the same as all purpose. They may have tweaked torque, but they don’t mention that. Recommended speed is whatever you feel comfortable with in snow. USS look like they do on all other cars. The only...
  2. OTA 2023.50.01 Software is Out! (w/ departure & preconditioning scheduling)!

    Someone mentioned it but I can’t find it so just asking again because search function isn’t great. How long after the target time is scheduled warning/precondition, etc supposed to last? Mine seems to shut off within about five minutes of target time.
  3. Rivian R1S - Set to 70% but Thinks it's 71% and Keeps Charging But Never Reaches 71%

    Mine does this whenever it’s plugged in for a long time. Always set to 70% but it goes to 71% or 72% or 73% if I leave it plugged in for about more than 8 hours after it’s reached 70%. I don’t really care, but it’s probably some sort of software issue.
  4. Wall charger WiFi needed?

    Short answer. No. It doesn’t need WiFi. It will charge perfectly fine, as you note. They could update its firmware, it’s unlikely to do anything you NEED unless you want to monitor it in some way.
  5. Has Rivian upgraded the MagSafe charger?

    It’s not the coils that are an issue, it’s really the surface being too slippery and the fact there isn’t a “MagSafe” standard. So they can’t make a magnetic one for iPhone and Android folks.
  6. Has Rivian upgraded the MagSafe charger?

    Issue is one port in armrest is always taken by SSD. I use the other for the MagSafe twraps which is pretty good. So yes, if I want pure juice, passenger headrest is where I go.
  7. Rivian and Frisker.

    I put forth the OP is just posting for reaction. Obviously not a real/legit topic. They’re more likely to buy Anker to figure out how to make a good charging pad for phones.
  8. Has Rivian upgraded the MagSafe charger?

    The Rivian charging pad is AMAZING. As long as you only go straight and don’t go over about 15 mph. If you turn or accelerate, your phone will fly off. Not sure how they missed that when testing during off-roading, etc. Sadly, the easiest USB C port to get to is the one behind the front...
  9. Rivian recommended maintenance schedule

    I was going to say the same thing. Our service center’s lead time is longer than the current wait time for an S.
  10. What do you want addressed in the next OTA update?

    When it does come, it will be worse than Google, Alexa or Apple/Siri. My Tesla’s voice to text is awful. My Audi’s was as well. I’d rather they focus on something my phone can’t already do, like… 1) second row hvac control from rear 2) blindspot camera for turns 3) let me view gear guard...
  11. All Terrain Upgrade - why the loss of 50 mi of range?

    I know the 21” AS is 33” diameter and 20” AT is 34”. Regardless, once can’t manually change this info. Rivian can do it OTA per posts in other areas here. Regardless, it’s an annoyance.
  12. What do you want addressed in the next OTA update?

    1) turning - show blindspot cameras onscreen like Tesla for turns. Yes, I know “it’s coming” but far more useful than other delivered features. 2) Rear HVAC control - rear screen is worthless and my kids are killing me on long trips. Make it work. Make it do something. Please.
  13. All Terrain Upgrade - why the loss of 50 mi of range?

    If you’re switching types of tires on wheels, just remember, the Rivian range estimates in car will all be wrong/off considerably. The car can only project range based on limited Rivian specs. I just moved to the 20” ATs on my R1S from the 21” and it requires a firmware update to the car which...
  14. OTA 2023.50.01 Software is Out! (w/ departure & preconditioning scheduling)!

    I got it tonight. Got email from Rivian about great new software and I checked the app 30 minutes later and sure enough, it was ready. But I had to check, it didn’t push a notification to me. I am sure it would have were I patient!
  15. 1,850 day wait with one major warning!

    They’ll do it but you have to be willing to wait three months + or so where I am. There’s always something else you can request and add it on, right? ? Suspension clicks too much, for example.
  16. 1,850 day wait with one major warning!

    total bummer. Tire shop has to pay for legit fix. I’d got to Rivian SC for a fix. This is why I will only take my R1S to Rivian - even for a rotation. It’s super annoying, but I don’t trust any tire places. I trust them all with my Tesla, but ten years ago, this is the same crap that happened...
  17. All Terrain Upgrade - why the loss of 50 mi of range?

    I’d say 0% due to underbody. I have underbody and 21” and have the same energy usage and range as most folks I’ve seen post here. Underbody is relatively light and aerodynamic. It’s all the wheels and tires! I’ve actually just switched from the 21” to to 20” ATs, but plan to post on that elsewhere.
  18. Autosocks experience & towing in the snow

    Thank you. That makes much more sense. The descriptions I saw didn’t mention that. But that’s what I get for reading too fast while I wait for .50!
  19. OTA 2023.50.01 Software is Out! (w/ departure & preconditioning scheduling)!

    That’s fair. They’re on vin 35,000+ for S, I don’t think they’ve made THAT many more Ts but haven’t kept track and they don’t breakdown deliveries but have said they’re making a lot more R1S now. I hope to have 50 within the week. And until then, will check my S and app about every 10 minutes!
  20. Autosocks experience & towing in the snow

    Are the AL69s really about $260/tire? I guess it’s worth it if you need it, just seems like a lot of money.
