shoot! just realized I typed AT instead of HT. my previous post has now been corrected.

That would be the location for an hvac ambient temp sensor present on Gen 1 and reportedly eliminated on Gen 2.

because they are unrelated products with their own development and release cycles. no need to hold one product back while still working on the other, especially when there is valuable usage data to be gained from launching the new Assistant now (information which will help the Assistant mature...

I would still report it to Rivian. Alexa is not likely to stick around forever. Rivian will almost certainly remove it once the new Assistant is a little more mature and they roll out things like a native Amazon Music app.

This isn't being reported as a common problem, something is "wrong" with your truck.

That, specifically, has not been my experience at all. Are you in an area with poor reception or cellular data (the latter should not to be confused with the number of signal bars and can be caused by network congestion, independent of signal strength)? A lot of the processing is happening...

Apparently the City of Frisco is being overly difficult. 😠 https://communityimpact.com/dallas-fort-worth/frisco/government/2026/04/16/frisco-officials-to-review-rivian-sales-service-center-site-plan/

That's not something I could live with. Either the seller would have to fix that or allow me to send the vehicle to a body shop of my choosing for an estimate on the repair which would have to be factored into the purchase price.

no, nothing on the app's home screen or the widget, at least not on Android. you have to tap into the Climate tile for that.

poor customer perception is the inherent danger of an MVP launch and learn approach vs taking a lot longer trying to perfect what you think the customer wants before releasing it. welcome to the new software defined world where the customer is key to product development.

The OP didn't say anything about scheduling which, yes, is going to attempt to bring the cabin up to the set temp as well as enable surface heaters if selected. Using manual settings as I was referring to, however, you can enable hvac and surface heaters independently. This is a good distinction...

Well, stating the obvious, Rivian is not Tesla. That behavior would also seem to go against the battery conserving tactic of warming the seat but not the entire cabin. Perhaps there are conditions below certain temperatures where the cabin heat is also triggered. Or perhaps the fans simply...

there are separate controls for hvac and the seats. the controls for one do not change the other.

Also keep in mind that the weight of an EV passenger vehicle, even something as massive as the Hummer EV, is still nowhere near the weight of a commercial semi-truck (up to ~ 80,000 lbs). Impact of EV passenger vehicles on road structures is negligible and, while not completely negligible, is...

here in TX I already pay the state $200/yr. I don't have a problem paying my "fair share" but the fee structure needs to be fair and independent of the energy source.

Georgia factory won't be online until at least late 2028. I would assume R3 deliveries en masse will not be until 2029 or perhaps even 2030 if delayed.

No issue with my R1S.

That wasn't a feature of Rivian's infotainment per se. It is a fundamental part of the Alexa stack as Amazon Music comes baked into all Alexa devices.

It has nothing to with it not being safe to vent the windows when driving. Most likely is related to the Assistant's reliability and, in some cases, ensuring that someone from outside the car can't gain unauthorized entry to the vehicle. I am hoping that they are just erring on the side of...

The problem is Alexa and Rivian Assistant do not coexist, you only get one or the other. So with the new Rivian Assistant enabled, there is no longer an Alexa to delegate to.
