Just to follow up, I did indeed get a mobile service offer for a week sooner than my service center appointment. In the meantime I am seeing a couple of small issues and I wonder if they are related. My truck won’t do the latest update (just silently fails) and it seems to fail to update the...

I told it "remember that my wife is [Name]" and now I can "text my wife" and it works every time,

The author did a pretty poor job explaining exactly WHY these headlights have taken so long to cross the pond, and the article also unfairly characterizes the US regulators as having overcomplicated things by not "adopt(ing) the international standard and instead (drawing) up separate, stricter...

There were three different emails that went out: 1. Invitation to order. 2. Notification that you will receive an invitation to order in the next several weeks. 3. The email that you're referring to, letting you know you will have an invitation estimate by the end of June.

There appear to have been three different emails that Rivian sent out yesterday (in descending order of priority): 1. Invitation to order 2. "You will be invited to order in a few weeks, keep an eye on your email" 3. The OP's email (I got the same one): "We'll let you know when you can expect...

So is "Millenial gray" but no one will be pining for that in 30 years, either ;)

They should just use the black one, the two-tone steering wheel is ugly.

They are available in Boston at the showroom, but not from the nearby service centers. Edit: I suppose they are never available from the service centers, but there are none available at the Canton, MA service + demo center.

Just got the same alert on my '23 R1T and scheduled an appointment for 3 weeks from now. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I get a call next week offering me a mobile service sooner. I live about 15 mins from the nearest service center.

Does it at least stop if you resist it (R1 at any rate)? Our Volvo is like that: I can open the tailgate in the garage and grab it before it hits the ceiling and it stops when it feels my resistance.

My similarly petty complaint is that I hate the light-colored airbag cover. If the entire steering wheel were black, I would consider the light interior, but the two-tone steering wheel just gives me the ick ;)

I think the issue is that the "exposed location" is smaller than the lifting block on many lifts and jacks. If you just used a regular floor jack there the bodywork surrounding the rubber pad could be damaged.

I feel like you're making my point rather than contradicting it. It's that 5-15k batch that are most likely to go to existing R1 owners if our conjecture is correct. The first ~2k or so are employee purchases, with some others likely earmarked for demo drives, etc.

Counterpoint: Early R2s are the most likely to suffer teething problems, and Rivian's service experience can be less than excellent. Far better to put those potentially troublesome early R2s in the hands of existing owners whose expectations are already set, and whose loyalty to Rivian is...

Where are you getting that? As was already pointed out, the RAP 1 chip coming later this year is for autonomy, not infotainment. The "Gen 3 autonomy compute module" contains the RAP 1 processor, and is for image processing and self-driving models. So far Rivian has not communicated anything...

This is just totally wrong, though. There are MANY vehicles with flush exterior door handles that are still mechanically coupled to the door latch.

Tesla did it because they have frameless windows. When you open the door, the window drops a fraction of an inch to clear the weatherstripping, and when the door closes, the window is pushed back into the weatherstripping to reduce wind noise. This meant that Teslas HAD to have an electronic...

It's not just you, the Rivian AI voice sounds too stereotypically "millennial" to me, with her vocal fry and up-talk. I am expecting her to start every reply with "Yeah, so..." Now that I've gotten that off my chest I have to go shout at those damn kids to get off my lawn.

IIRC when I set it up there was an onscreen checklist (on the Rivian screen) that listed 3 pre-requisites to enabling text integration. On my iPhone I had to go into settings and enable an additional permission on the "Rivian Audio" connection. Perhaps there is another permission related to...

Just keep in mind that most of those impressions are probably comparing it to R1S, which is 2-3x more common than R1T. The R1T ride is much better than the R1S ride.
