  1. Circle K charging station experience by Out of Spec Kyle (with Rivian R1T)

    It seems like one should be able to have a payment set up on their vehicle. Once the vehicle is plugged in, the inside screen on the vehicle should show the costs, speed, etc. related to the particular charger. The driver could then agree and have the cost charged to the payment associated with...
  2. 2023.10.0 software update OTA released. Includes Tesla Supercharger network option and 12v battery draining issue fix

    Many years ago I was complaining to a friend about Windows computers - and that the solution to most problems is to reset the machine. We wondered why we accepted constant resets when we would never accept such issues in a car! Can you imagine needing to reset/reboot a Ford/Chevy/Toyota? No...
  3. I need community help on color choice?Update: El Cap for the win

    FWIW, I was Red Canyon for a long time, but when I saw it in real life, it was more orange than I like. I went with Glacier White and have loved it - even though I don't usually like white on cars. El Cap is a really nice color, but in my opinion is the most muted in real life. That may be a...
  4. Early 'influencer' reviews didn't age so well

    Reviewers can only review the vehicle they have - not what the vehicle might/will become with updates.
  5. Normal HVAC behavior?

    My HVAC acts like yours. I kind of assumed operator error figured in somehow, but I hadn't bothered to try and tease out what I might be doing wrong. Please post what you discover.
  6. What I like least about my R1T

    You can feel good because you hit many of the previous responses, which were: (1) it's a 7,000 pound truck, which presumably means that feel and connection can't be good, (2) all new cars have tons of software between driver and vehicle, so the distant feel should be expected and how didn't I...
  7. R1S Delivery today: Quick Summary

    I used to live in North Jersey and the trip to Brooklyn is very painful, but at least the tolls make it expensive.
  8. What I like least about my R1T

    No one expects a dynamic driving experience in my wife's Pilot or my daughter's Jetta. They are fine for our purposes, but no one is going to be collecting Honda Pilots or VW Jettas in 30 years. I really like my R1T. It is a great vehicle, but I think it is expectations - and mine as to the...
  9. What I like least about my R1T

    LOL. It's my wife's. She loves it, but I consider it a tall station wagon.
  10. What I like least about my R1T

    None taken since we drive the same vehicle. Edit: Oops, we don't - at least not yet.
  11. What I like least about my R1T

    I think I already mentioned that the R1T is the best vehicle I have owned and has amazing performance. I also acknowledged lots of software is needed in a vehicle like the R1T. I am also aware that all modern vehicles going back at least 30 years have software reacting to a driver's inputs. I...
  12. What I like least about my R1T

    The responses are interesting. No one has claimed, so far, to feel connected to the R1T and its mechanical systems when driving it. I guess the answer to my question is "no."
  13. What I like least about my R1T

    I think weight in a vehicle makes everything more challenging to engineer, including software. Maybe the software has already made 7,000 pounds feel as good as it can ever feel.
  14. What I like least about my R1T

    Those settings help, but they are still settings controlling the software response to your inputs. I really like my R1T and it is the best vehicle I have owned. I think all the software interpreting my inputs and keeping track of the vehicle systems reduces what I feel, making the vehicle...
  15. What I like least about my R1T

    My biggest disappointment with my R1T is that I don't feel connected to the amazing mechanical hardware because of all the software between me and the various systems. The performance is objectively amazing in everyway. I understand why there needs to be software controlling all aspects of an...
  16. Rivian should focus on features that set them apart from the rest of the industry, not AA/CP.

    Last weekend in Albuquerque, NM I saw an 18 MPH speed limit sign in a neighborhood. The street was narrow and I looked down to see my speed - 18 mph. Weird limit, but dead accurate to me!
  17. R1T stereo sound ….not so good

    I think the Rivian sound system is great. However, I listened to many, many hours of excessively loud heavy metal and grunge on my Rockford Fosgate 12s in my Ford Escort through high school and college, so my ears may not be sufficiently sensitive.
  18. R1S Kicks A$$ in Drag & Roll Races vs Urus and Shelby F-150 Super Snake (Throttle House)

    Why do they always do these tests with 20" AT tires? Use the 22's and it wouldn't be nearly as close.
  19. R1S Shop access live with lots of inventory!

    Just a theory, but it seems like the R1S shop, like the R1T shop, both have a disproportionate number of FE interiors. I also see a fair number of 20" bright wheels, 20"dark and 22" dark wheels. My guess is they over ordered some of those parts. So they build vehicles with the lesser-ordered...
