Beyond the text messaging, I haven't seen anything demonstrated with the AI Assistant that makes me think I would use it. They showed off some cool party tricks I guess, but on the whole there wasn't anything demonstrated that made me think "wow could use that".
I've not been up I-80 with my Rivian in the winter, but yeah, that looks pretty gnarly at times and I think they are pretty strict about chains and/or snow tires. Good luck! The I-5 grind isn't super exciting but very doable and getting much easier as the volume and reliability of charging...
I do this drive multiple times a year, well most of it. I live in Seattle but we have an orchard down by Lodi. The only place you really need to worry about is Siskiyou summit and maybe to a lesser degree some of the higher hills in southern Oregon, but you can also just go up the coast and...
I had the goat step sliders on my R1T and never had an issue either at the SC or with mobile service, though the mobile guy did take a while to make the decision that it would be fine to use his pucks to lift it up.
There's obviously a market and demand for sliders and running boards; perhaps...
I sent the same thing in, also asked about setting the skip ahead to 30 seconds. I keep using my phone for podcasts 99% because I can skip commercials with 1-2 clicks.
I assume this change would require logging into a Google Account, so maybe that will also allow favorites in Google Maps to sync. Drives me crazy that I can't rename saved locations in the current maps. Having a list of street addresses is far less helpful than "Bob Smiths house" or similar...
I keep some Plex playlists synced to my phone for the times when there's no cell service - to often IMO - and play via BT. I really wish they would enable USB at least for the HDD and have some basic navigation UI to pick playlists or artists.
There's no TOU plan here (yet), so the update isn't really helpful for me at this point. What would be useful, though, is the ability to designate multiple home/charging locations and set schedules for each of them. Half the time I'm at our orchard, I forget that there is TOU there, plug in...
Bellevue is IMO, to be avoided, it's a really small facility with limited capacity. Seattle and Bothell are far larger and, in my experience, much faster to deal with. To me, the biggest issue that's never really improved over the 3+ years I've been driving Rivian is the communication while...
I've gotten used to the button release in Gen2 front seats, but the backseat release solution is just ridiculous. In an emergency, no way someone in the backseat will know to rip apart that panel to exit.
Love my Rivian's, but I don't love the lack of manual release for the door handles, or...
Was going to say the same thing. This problem would be solved if I could log into Google Account in Maps, but short of that, just let me rename the saved addresses. Most of what I have saved are kids friends houses, and being able to rename to "Sam's house" rather than 123456 w main street...
1. Pick up the phone
2. Call support
The ticketing via the app drives me nuts. It used to be pretty functional and feels like it's gone backwards with the AI.
Maps look better, and search is a significant improvement in initial testing, but one of my biggest annoyances still hasn't been addressed.
Why in 2025, after multiple updates, is it still not possible to change the name of saved favorites? A list of addresses is great, but then you have to...
Not sure, maybe below the screen, just under the dash. It might be cool to have that switch in some type of enclosure so it can be flipped open when in use.
I'd probably be interested. would be cool to have an assignable switch that could work with something like the Concord Aerospace switches

I agree to a point, but CarPlay, while not as refined as the Rivian UI, has apps, lots and lots of them that work pretty much flawlessly. I've never seen Spotify or Apple Music on my phone unable to display any information (daily occurrence in Rivian), Google Maps hasn't routed me to the wrong...
It would take them years to reach the level of Google today, and in the meantime, Google will spend hundreds of millions of dollars further refining and improving its product.
The only thing I use Rivian's onboard navigation for is routing from wherever I'm at to specific chargers so the...
